3.5 Basic Setting for 802.11Ad Hoc Mode/Ad Hoc Mode

If you have more computers and only want to place them in a local area network, or

you want to communicate directly without using an Access Point or any connection to

a wired network, then you can select the “802.11 Ad Hoc” mode or “Ad Hoc” mode

on your WLAN Utility.

“802.11 Ad Hoc” is the official standard set by IEEE Organization whereas “Ad Hoc”

is a pre-standard. Therefore we recommend you to select the “802.11 Ad Hoc”

mode.

Please note that “802.11 Ad Hoc” mode and “Ad Hoc” mode are not compatible. If

you select the “802.11 Ad Hoc” mode, then all computers of your workgroup should

be set as the “802.11 Ad Hoc”—vice versa with the “Ad Hoc” mode.
