- Thread-topic: Waking up AWDL
I’m trying to use AWDL on Macs specifically to avoid the requirement for
devices to be on the same infrastructure network. :-)
Other platforms are limited currently to being on the same network, which may
change in the future with Wi-Fi Aware or something, but Apple devices can
overcome this limitation and do true peer-to-peer connectivity.
That’s what I’m trying to take advantage of.
