A technician needs to create a temporary wireless network for several users to share files directly between their laptops in a meeting room that lacks an access point. Which of the following wireless network types best describes this configuration?
Infrastructure
Point-to-point
Mesh
Ad hoc
An ad hoc network is a decentralized type of wireless network where devices connect to each other directly in a peer-to-peer (P2P) fashion, without the need for a central access point or router. This makes it ideal for temporary setups where no network infrastructure exists. An infrastructure network requires a central access point to manage communications. A mesh network can involve peer-to-peer links but is typically a more complex setup, often used to extend wireless coverage over a larger area. A point-to-point network typically connects exactly two nodes, often over a longer distance, whereas this scenario involves several users in a single room.
