Ad-Hoc
Still complaining about the high price of wireless access points? This mode is the easiest and
cost-effective way to meet your requirements. It enables you to construct wireless networking in no time
without any access point.
Ad-hoc mode is a wireless network type in which a group of computers equipped with WL-U357 or other
wireless adapters are connected together to form an independent wireless LAN. All computers operating
in this mode must be configured to share the same radio channel.
In this scenario, new devices can be quickly added; however, wireless stations can only communicate
with the other peers that belong to the same IBSS (Independent Basic Service Set).
