Wi-Fi Direct is a new capability of Wi-Fi wireless networking coming (hopefully) next year to consumer products. Wi-Fi Direct is a greatly improved form of ad hoc mode Wi-Fi that allows devices to also connect to each other directly rather than solely through access points. The creators of Wi-Fi Direct are quick to point out that it does not replace a broadband router. Instead, the technology is designed primarily to simplify the sharing of resources (including printers) between mobile devices. However, with an enabled Internet modem and home computers, a Wi-Fi Direct home network could also share an Internet connection easily enough without the help of a router.
