Follow these step-by-step instructions to set up an ad hoc Wi-Fi network. A Wi-Fi network in ad hoc (also known as computer-to-computer or peer) mode allows two or more devices to communicate with each other directly instead of through a central wireless router or access point.
- For each of the computers (devices) to be connected via ad hoc networking, determine whether they have Wi-Fi capability. Purchase and install Wi-Fi network adapter hardware if needed.
- Decide on a name and a Wi-Fi security password for the ad hoc network to be created.
- To set up an ad hoc Wi-Fi connection in Microsoft Windows, first choose the "Set up a new connection or network" option in Network and Sharing Center, then choose the "Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network" option and click Next to start the process. Follow the instructions provided with each step.
- To set up ad hoc Wi-Fi from Mac OS X, choose the "Create Network..." menu option from AirPort (usually accessible from the main menu bar), then choose the "Create a Computer-to-Computer Network" option and follow the instructions provided.
- Test the ad hoc network connection after linking the first two devices together.
- To join additional devices to an established ad hoc network, browse the list of Wi-Fi networks it has discovered and connect to the one with the correct name.
