Network cables (RJ45) 5 6 4 1 3 72 Ad-Hoc internet sharing The Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) feature of Microsoft Windows allows you to share a single Internet connection with multiple computers. Built-in support for IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs (WLANs) allows you to create an ad-hoc wireless network. These two features can be used together to share a wired Internet connection with the members of an ad-hoc wireless network. This is the method of connection if you do not possess an Access Point (router). Turning On/Off a WiFi Network Connection If your computer does not feature a 'WiFi' button, you may turn your wireless network on or off, or control what is shared over the network with the network management options. Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center. Warning: Using wireless devices while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off all devices before boarding an aircraft; they may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt communications, and even be illegal. 22 - Quick Start & Troubleshooting Guide
