| Dec 6, 2012 at 18:58 | comment | added | sep332 | It depends on your driver (some might have slower defaults for 802.11g or even b compatibility). Ad-hoc usually gets slow when you have a lot of devices, but since you just have 2 talking to each other it should be fast. | |
| Dec 6, 2012 at 18:52 | comment | added | HerpDerp | Is Ad-Hoc network equivalent to an Access Point in performance? I don't know enough to be able to answer that question myself. | |
