WiFi-Direct using an Access Point I have some doubts about how the Wifi-Direct (P2P) works. I want to connect an android device to a hardware able to use Wifi. I am not sure if I can use Wifi-Direct to connect the android with the hardware using an extenal wifi with internet (Acces Point) or they need to be only connected without any external wifi.

Question: Can I connect the android and the hardware using Wifi-P2P through an external network (Router) or only with a direct connection between them?
No.
Wifi direct : direct share data between two devices (pictures, video, music, files), without internet.
Acces point by wifi : acces to internet
