Tips To Configure An Ad Hoc Network On A Windows 7 Laptop


The invention of laptops can be regarded as the technology achievement of the century- no other device has been this convenient and cheap at the same time! Laptops might be different in appearance from desktop, but all the functions are more or less the same as long as the operating system is the same- the difference is mainly in its hardware. Configuring an ad hoc network in a Windows 7 laptop is an effortless activity. Connecting a Windows computer or a laptop to a Wireless router or an access point instead of a wireless network is known as "wireless infrastructure mode". All computing devices are developed with tools to configure a wireless network of their own and this feature in them is called as ad hoc networks. Once you create a wireless network on your computer, your device will turn itself into a hotspot which will allow other systems or laptops to link up with to the network you created. If you are looking to configure an ad hoc network on your Windows 7 installed laptop, just follow the instructions below so that you can avoid calling up a Windows 7 support forum.
Instructions
Bring on the startup menu in to your empty desktop by clicking on the "Start" button which lies on the taskbar on your desktop
Go for the “Control Panel” tab that holds the settings of all the applications installed on your Windows 7 laptop.
Hit on the "Network and sharing center" tab twice to open it up.
Access the "Manage wireless networks" tab.
In the Manage wireless menu, you should trigger the "Add" button.
Now opt for the "Manually create a network profile" tab and then trigger the "Next" tab.
Now enter the SSID name required to create the ad hoc network.
You can opt for an encryption type, data name and password to save the details of the ad hoc network that you are going to create.
Now just hit on the "Next" tab to bring up the "Finish" tab to wind up the process of creating the ad hoc network.
We hope that you have successfully created an ad hoc network. However, contact the Windows 7 support crew if you are facing any sort of difficulty in following these instructions.
