How to Create Peer-to-Peer Connectivity With WiFi
Wireless networking is the simplest way to connect multiple computers. For normal operation of the network server is not required, but the number of connected PCs should not be more than 5-6.
Wireless networks today are one of the most modern methods of data transfer between computers. The most common way to create a peer-to-peer wireless network is a network based on Wi-Fi technology with the router.
To create a local network between two home computers without using a network cable is possible. This method requires a certain financial expenses for the purchase of two Wi-Fi adapters.
