Note An ad hoc network is availabl e if you do not have an access p oint. However, it provides l ittle flexibility, a low level of net work security, and slower network performance than with an access point. For a wireless ad hoc setup, you need to manual ly turn on the wireless rad io. Switch between 80 2.11b and 802 .11g The ad hoc communication [...]
