Published in Technology 2 mins read

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:

  1. Open your device's settings app. This is usually found in the app drawer or by swiping down from the top of the screen.
  2. Find the Wi-Fi settings. This is often labeled as "Wi-Fi" or "Connections."
  3. Look for the Wi-Fi Direct option. It may be listed as "Wi-Fi Direct," "Direct," "P2P," or something similar.
  4. Tap on the Wi-Fi Direct option to turn it on.

Example:

On an Android device, you would typically follow these steps:

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap on "Connections" or "Network & internet."
  3. Select "Wi-Fi."
  4. Tap the three dots in the top right corner and select "Wi-Fi Direct."
  5. 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.
