Communicating without an access point (ad-hoc)
An ad-hoc network is one in which a local network is created only by the wireless devices themselves, with no other central
controller or access point. Each device communicates directly with other devices in the network. You can set up an ad-hoc
network easily at home, either with a network key for added security or without a key.
If you create a network using a network (or encryption) key, you will need that key to access the network.
