Ad-Hoc Application
An ad-hoc network consists of two or more computers communicating with one
another through the wireless network. No access points (APs) or existing wired
networks are needed.

When wireless clients wish to access and share resources on the wired network, they
should use infrastructure mode. Wireless clients may move or roam from one
coverage area to another seamlessly without network interruption.
