Ad-hoc Mode
This is the simplest network configuration with several computers equipped with
the wireless Network Interface Cards that form a wireless network whenever they
are within range of one another. In ad-hoc mode, each client is peer-to-peer,
would only have access to the resources of the other client and does not require
an access point. This is the easiest and least expensive way for the SOHO to set
up a wireless network.
