4.5 Ad-hoc and Peer-to-Peer Wireless Networks

Ad-hoc networking is used when you want to connect two or more computers together but you don’t have a router.

In ad-hoc mode, you lose a lot of the features that come with a router. Instead of being able to operate at 300Mbps, the maximum connection speed is significantly less at 11Mbps. WEP encryption is the only security available in ad-hoc mode.

To set up ad-hoc mode, you will need to create a new profile.
