Connecting Computers Directly (Ad Hoc Network)
In a direct connection (also called an ad hoc network), computers are
connected with each other without any wireless access point like the
FRITZ!Box involved.
If you set up an ad hoc network on a computer with the
FRITZ!WLAN USB stick, other computers can register with the ad hoc
network.
