Ad hoc networks
An ad hoc network is a type of wireless network in which devices directly
communicate with each other rather than through a
Wireless Access Point (WAP)
.
For example, a simple ad hoc wireless network might consist of a laptop and a printer
communicating directly with one another.

Ad hoc networks are typically small and simple. Performance on these types of
networks can degrade if more than six devices are on the network.
