Externet Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Hi. I have NO router, no WiFi at home. My 'smart' phone does have that feature which is not enabled now, I never use or need it... Once I enabled such and printed a document from my phone direct to my WiFi printer. What is the correct term for that connection ? Words like peer-to-peer ; ad-hoc ? something else ? Stores sell a WiFi door-bell camera with intercom that can use a 'smart' phone to see who is at the door and even dialog with. What should I look for in the specifications/instructions terminology wording to know if its WiFi connection is direct door-bell-to-phone or needs a router at home ?

I am using it all day long. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethering Edited April 14, 2023 by Sensei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
