Wi-Fi Direct
Wi-Fi Direct is the default connection method for the Nomad 60 Wireless. This method, supported on Android devices
and on computers or devices with Windows 10, allows a direction connection to the Nomad without requiring a
wireless router.
After an initial Wi-Fi Direct connection is established, it will be remembered by the Nomad at subsequent connection
attempts.
When you are using a Wi-Fi Direct connection, a reboot of the Nomad is required for changes to take effect in the
following scenarios:
• The connection frequency is changed from one setting to the other (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz).
• The Nomad password is changed. New passwords must be a minimum of 8 characters.
Use the procedures in this section to set up a Wi-Fi Direct connection between the Nomad 60 Wireless and a computer
or mobile device.

Wi-Fi Direct allows the Android device to have a connection with the Nomad and another access point simultaneously
while keeping the Nomad isolated on the network. If you choose the WPS Push Button option, the connection is
between the Android device and the Nomad only.
