Connecting devices using Wi-Fi Direct

A wireless router is not necessary while using Wi-Fi Direct, which enables two devices to create a direct peer-to-peer Wi-Fi connection. Similar to Bluetooth, each Wi-Fi Direct compatible device needs to be introduced to the other in order to establish a connection. This means users may print papers, share data, sync files, and show information from devices like smartphones and tablets as well as from laptops and netbooks when they are on the road. Without connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot or conventional wireless network, Wi-Fi Direct certified products can communicate with other wireless devices.
