Ad Hoc Wireless LAN (no Access Point)

An ad hoc wireless LAN consists of a group of computers, each equipped with a

wireless adapter, connected via radio signals as an independent wireless LAN.

Computers in a specific ad hoc wireless LAN must therefore be configured to the

same radio channel. An ad hoc wireless LAN can be used for a branch office or

SOHO operation.
