connection to the computer over a wireless connection
without using an access point, is not supported.
Notes on Network Connection

the network device vary depending on your system environment. For details,
refer to your device's instruction manual or contact its manufacturer.
• In an office setup, consult your network administrator
• If you connect to a network that is not protected with security measures, there
is a risk of disclosing data such as your personal information to a third party.
