Ad-hoc Wireless LAN (no AP or Bridge)

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.
