4.8 Ad-hoc and Peer-to-Peer Wireless Networks
Ad-hoc networking is used when you want to connect two or more computers together without going through a router.
In ad-hoc mode, you lose a lot of the features that come with a router. The maximum connection speed drops to 11Mbps. In addition, WEP encryption is the only security available in ad-hoc mode.
To set up ad-hoc mode, you will need to create a new profile.
Open the Wireless LAN Monitor.
Click on Profile and click on Add. The profile settings box will appear.
First change the network type to Adhoc, by checking the computer-to-computer (ad-hoc) network.
Enter a network name (SSID) into the SSID box. Select your desired Channel.
