Step 7 Select your new profile from the Available Profile(s) box, and click on Set Default to enable it.

You need to configure all other computers that you are planning on connecting to your ad-hoc network with the same settings that you configured on this computer. Every computer has to be set up exactly the same. If any of the settings are different, the network will not function.

Note: If you are having trouble connecting, slow connection, or connection is unstable, you will want to try changing channels. Start with channel 1 and work your way up until you find a channel that gives you the best connection. Each time you change the channel, save the settings then reboot the computer. Also, make sure that you do this on every ad-hoc machine so that they will all be set to the same channel.
