MANET Manager is a free Android application designed to transform your smartphone or tablet into a peer-to-peer communication device through ad-hoc networking. This application allows users to connect multiple devices without the need for a cellular plan, access points, or internet connectivity. Users can easily set up a Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) that automatically recognizes and links devices within approximately 500 feet. The more devices connected, the greater the communication range, facilitating seamless data routing across the network.

To utilize MANET Manager, devices must meet specific requirements, including root access and support for wireless extensions. Supported devices include various models from the Samsung Galaxy series and ASUS Transformer Prime. The application also offers functionality for sharing a phone's cellular connection with other devices in the mesh network. Custom kernels may be necessary for optimal performance, which can be installed via ClockworkMod Recovery.
