Communicating without Access Point (ad-hoc)
An ad-hoc network is a network in which a local network is created only by the wireless devices themselves,
with no other central controller or Access Point. Each device communicates directly with other devices in the
network. You can set up an ad-hoc network easily at home.
To communicate without Access Point (ad-hoc), proceed as follows:
1 Turn on the Wireless LAN switch (1) on the left front side of the computer.
The Switch wireless devices dialog box appears.
2 Select Wireless LAN and click OK.
The Wireless Switcher button changes into Wireless LAN and the WLAN indicator (2) turns green.
3 Double-click the network icon in the taskbar displaying Wireless Network Connection.
The Wireless Network Connection dialog box appears.
4 Click the Properties button.
The Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog box appears.
5 Select the Wireless Networks tab.
6 Click the Add… button.
The Wireless Network Properties dialog box appears.
