does iPhone support Wi-Fi TDLS?

Question

According to Wikipedia, Wi-Fi TDLS has been around for a number of years. Does iPhone (any model) support TDLS? If yes, how does it work? Does it need any help from the app by any means or fully automatic?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 2

Sorry about my late response. I am trying to use iPhone to communicate with other devices in the same WiFi LAN, and wondering if can use TDLS to reduce the load on the WiFi router. If not TDLS, is there any other thing I can use for iPhone to achieve the goal? Thanks.

Other Apple devices? Or does “other devices” include non-Apple devices?

Answer 4

include … non-Apple devices

In that case I don’t have any great suggestions for you. Apple devices have some unique features in this space, most notably peer-to-peer Wi-Fi. And while I suspect that would actually be slower than what you’ve currently got, it’d be something to try. However, if you have to support non-Apple devices then that’s not an option.
