Device-to-Device mode, also called ad hoc mode, works without access points and allows
wireless computers to send information directly to other wireless computers. You can use
Device-to-Device mode to network computers in a home or small office or to set up a
temporary wireless network for a meeting.
How do I turn my Radio on and off?
You will need to turn the WiFi adapter radio off (and on) on different occasions. For example,
you may be required to turn the radio off when boarding an airplane. You can also turn it off
to conserve battery power.
There are three methods to turn the radio on and off:
● Using the wireless radio hardware switch (may not be present on all computers).
● Using the WiFi On / WiFi Off button in the WiFi connection utility.
● Using Windows.
Remember that to connect to wireless networks, the wireless radio needs to be turned back
on. If you are unable to connect to a wireless network, verify that your radio is turned on at
both the hardware switch and the WiFi On / WiFi Off button in the WiFi connection utility.
