Ad Hoc Mode
"Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity
between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device,
typically known as Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in
a peer-to-peer fashion. That is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer
networks. Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network
connectivity between multiple computers. Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network
authentication, and encryption key settings are identically configured on all computers in
the Ad Hoc network.
