An informal way of creating a wireless network between two or more computers without the need for a centralized access point.
Direct client communications mode for two PCs using wireless networking.
an on-demand WLAN without any access points
Ad-Hoc mode allows two 802.11 wireless devices to connect in a peer-to-peer relationship, without the need for a wireless access point. This allows for the quick setup of wireless communication, but has significant disadvantages: security is weaker than with a properly-configured access point, and each wireless device can only peer with one other device at a time. Back
Also known as peer-to-peer mode or IBSS, ad-hoc mode lets wirelessly networked devices communicate directly, without going through an access point or other intermediary.
a network framework provided by IEEE 802.11 standard set in which all communications between wireless clients are made without the use of an Access Point (AP). This mode sometimes is referred as a peer-to-peer mode
An old term used to describe a device-to-device network. (See device-to-device network, peer-to-peer network). close
Wireless LAN clients that network together directly (peer-to-peer) as opposed to using an access point.
An 802.11 networking framework in which devices or stations communicate directly with each other, without the use of an access point (AP). Ad-hoc mode is also referred to as peer-to-peer mode or an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS). Ad-hoc mode is useful for establishing a network where wireless infrastructure does not exist or where services are not required.
A networking arrangement in which you set your wireless network adapters to communicate directly with each other, rather than through an access point.
This refers to when a wireless-enabled PC or network device connects directly to another device without using a wireless router or access point. (See Infrastructure Mode).
(a.k.a peer-to-peer mode, or Independent Basic Service Set - IBSS) in wireless networking refers to a framework in which devices or stations communicate directly with each other, without the use of an access point. Ad-hoc mode is useful for establishing a network where access points do not exist. ADSL
A client setting that provides independent peer-to-peer connectivity in a wireless LAN. Also see Infrastructure Mode.
