What is the biggest problem if we are using IBSS mode? Another question is if we are using IBSS mode and 2 clients are close to each other but the gateway is little bit more far away. Does it cause the clients to choose each other instead of the gateway because they have stronger signal? If this happens, wouldnt this cause the link to the gateway be broken?
