Wi-Fi Network Connection Modes

Ad Hoc

Ad hoc mode is also referred to as peer-to-peer mode because it does not involve an access point, but is instead made up of multiple client devices. The devices, acting as “peers” within the network, connect to each other directly.

Wi-Fi Direct

Wi-Fi Direct is a form of Ad Hoc, but with some additional features and capabilities. Wireless connectivity is provided to compatible devices that need to connect without the use of an access point. Televisions are frequently Wi-Fi Direct compatible, allowing users to send music or images straight from a mobile device to their TV.

Wi-Fi Hotspot

The term “Wi-Fi hotspot” usually refers to wireless networks placed in public areas, like coffee shops, to allow people to connect to the internet without having to have special credentials. While some are free, others require a fee, particularly those administered by companies that specialize in the provision of hotspots in places like airports or bus terminals.
