Figure 1-4 Access Point as wireless repeater Ad Hoc (peer-to-peer) mode Ad Hoc mode (or peer-to-peer mode) is a wireless network topology where wireless devices communicate with each other directly. An Access Point is not used. On Apple networks, Ad Hoc mode is called computer-to-computer mode.

Access Point as wireless repeater
Ad Hoc (peer-to-peer) mode
Ad Hoc mode (or peer-to-peer mode) is a wireless network topology where wireless devices
communicate with each other directly. An Access Point is not used. On Apple networks, Ad Hoc mode
is called computer-to-computer mode.
NOTE:
Ad Hoc mode is not as reliable as Infrastructure mode, and if used, should be limited to six
devices or less.
When set in this mode, the HP Jetdirect print server receives print jobs from wireless computers directly.

Ad Hoc mode: a peer-to-peer wireless network topology
NOTE:
The term “peer-to-peer” might have a different meaning depending on its usage. While Ad Hoc
peer-to-peer mode refers to a wireless network topology, HP Jetdirect peer-to-peer printing refers to a
direct print path from a network computer to a printer. HP Jetdirect peer-to-peer printing can be used
on both Ad Hoc or Infrastructure wireless topologies.
