Two Raspberry Pi 3's- WiFI - No Router



Can two Raspberry Pi 3's communicate over WiFi without a router?

Yes.

Configure one as a wireless Access Point and get the other one to associate with it as a WiFi client.

Two Raspberry Pi 3's- WiFI - No Router



Can two Raspberry Pi 3's communicate over WiFi without a router?

Yes. But there are two ways to do it depending on whether you used the word "router" properly or sloppily.

A router is a router. If you mean a Wi-Fi equipped router then the distinction is rather important in your context.

A Wi-Fi Access Point is not a router. Two RPis, both working in client mode can connect to an AP - no routeing involved.

The other method is the one outlined by B.Goode.

OK ...... Thanks for the replies


My current setup is:

• Raspberry Pi 3 headless, Ubuntu Mate Raspberry16.04, webcam - controlled 100% over WiFi - SSH and Terminal commands from Desktop PC.
• D-Link N300 router.
• Desktop PC, Ubuntu Mate 16.04,.

I would like to setup a 2nd Raspberry Pi with mouse, monitor and keyboard to replace the Desktop PC and D-Link router.
