Wi-Fi Direct allows devices to connect directly to each other without needing a Wi-Fi router. To turn on Wi-Fi Direct, follow these steps:
- Open your device's settings app. This is usually found in the app drawer or by swiping down from the top of the screen.
- Find the Wi-Fi settings. This is often labeled as "Wi-Fi" or "Connections."
- Look for the Wi-Fi Direct option. It may be listed as "Wi-Fi Direct," "Direct," "P2P," or something similar.
- Tap on the Wi-Fi Direct option to turn it on.
Example:
On an Android device, you would typically follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap on "Connections" or "Network & internet."
- Select "Wi-Fi."
- Tap the three dots in the top right corner and select "Wi-Fi Direct."
- Turn on Wi-Fi Direct by tapping the toggle switch.
Note: The exact steps may vary depending on your device's operating system and manufacturer.
Once Wi-Fi Direct is turned on, your device will be visible to other devices that have Wi-Fi Direct enabled. You can then connect to another device by selecting it from the list of available devices.
