Figure 4-2: NETGEAR WGM511 Wireless PC Card in peer-to-peer mode
The peer-to-peer setting of the WGM511 uses ad hoc mode. Ad hoc mode is an 802.11 networking
framework in which devices or computers communicate directly with each other, without the use
of an access point. For example, this mode is used when two Windows computers are configured
with file and print sharing enabled and you want to exchange files directly between them.
