Mobile Ad-hoc network is a wireless, infrastructure less temporary network. The performance of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) is related to the efficiency of the routing protocols in adapting to frequently changing network topologies and link status. In this paper we present a survey on MANET (wireless). Various protocols used in MANET are discussed in this paper. Designing of such routing protocols is not simple. MANET has its own quality of service, which must be efficient. As MANET is a free space communication network it is frequently get attacked by the third party device. Security issue in MANET is highly required. For efficient data transmission it is necessary to protect the network, so that data loss during transmission will reduce
