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 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 (adhoc) network. Enter a network name (SSID) into the SSID box. Select your desired Channel. 33
