Configuring Wi-Fi Direct
If you want to connect your computer with other wireless devices over radio waves without the need for an access point, then you can use Wi-Fi Direct, which is supported by Windows 10.As stated, Wi-Fi Direct, also known as Wi-Fi P2P (Peer-to-Peer), is a proprietary standard set by Wi-Fi Alliance that operates on the basis of two services known as Wi-Fi Direct Device Discovery and Service Discovery. It doesn't need access points because the devices in such wireless network are directly connected to each other, hence creating a well-known legacy network known as the ad-hoc wireless network.
