Also ad hoc networking is a topology. Ad hoc networking can be done in a number of ways. It's not dependent on specific hardware per se. And it doesn't need a wireless capability to make it work. You could do an ad hoc network with a crossover cable and two NICs. Or with multiple PCs, cables, and a dumb network hub or switch - no router required. That's how it used to be done before wifi came out.-40hz (January 21, 2015, 09:26 PM)
Using a wifi connection just makes it much more convenient.
...the trick is to make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler. Past that point, you actually make things more complex.-Vurbal (January 21, 2015, 08:25 AM)
Ad hoc networking is not a solution so much as a kludge. Like any "good" kludge, there's a steep decline in usefulness and useability outside of the specific problem it was designed to address. In this case that means quick and dirty one off connections between wireless devices. What we're really talking about is using the printer's ad hoc capabilities to do the job of a WAP and router.
Makes for an Interesting wrinkle, once a 2nd (inactive) gateway gets introduced (IT hits the fan). Because it will either need a gateway-less static IP scheme, or a really low priority for the wireless adapters gateway to be sure they can get out to the web. Both of which either of us could probably do blindfolded...but neither is a great time for a novice. Not to mention if it ever required them to do any troubleshooting ...

I have to ask, how are the computers currently accessing the internet??-Stoic Joker (January 20, 2015, 12:02 PM)
As incentives go, this is a pretty good one ... Because printer controlled wireless networks as a rule tend to be roughly half as stable as a acrophobic on an electrified tightrope.
One of the main questions that should also be asked, is does the printer itself really need to be wireless? According to the specs the device has an RJ45 Ethernet port, so get a cheap wireless router, wire the thing to it, and you should be ok. The router will handle the IP scheme, and you won't be left twisting in the wind hoping that some flakey "Cutting Edge" technology will decide to be kind enough to actually work on any given day.-Stoic Joker (January 19, 2015, 11:51 AM)
Start by disabling any and all sleep functions first. Then if it starts behaving you can look into how best to allow the thing to take a light nap
Using any brand printing via wifi has always been similar to that for me, remove, re-discover and re-add printer-rgdot (January 18, 2015, 10:39 PM)

My struggle with the windows phone was that your brain wants to treat it like windows, the windows we love which is full of options and possibilities and third party tools, etc. But the windows phone is none of those things. it's even more restrictive than iOS, without the apps. So it's essentially the most restricted device imaginable. I stopped using it when the nexus 5 came out.-superboyac (December 10, 2014, 05:57 PM)
). I'm not terribly interested in customising nor do I have any particular expectations of the hardware, so long as it works well and is reliable. Hmm...check out this thing from Sony...looks just right, a wireless portable storage device!
