    How to set up ad-hoc/wifi direct?


    In a few weeks, Im going somewhere where there is very slow/no internet, and I wanted to play games like Minecraft on LAN, without an internet connection. I've heard about "ad-hoc" and "Wifi Direct" But I got lost in 5 minutes. Is there any way to set up this type of connection? Maybe with Bluetooth? Im not sure

    :)

  2. WiFi ad hoc problem

    I'm creating an ad hoc network to connect my desktop (running Windows 7) with a friend laptop (running XP). So I set the network and in the wireless networks list of the laptop it appear with signal strength "Excellent" but once it connect to the network the signal strength drops to "Very Low". Any ideas where the problem may be? Thank you in advance.

    How to set up ad-hoc/wifi direct?

    How do I set up an ad-hoc WiFi network in Windows 10?

    The instructions are a bit misleading.

    Where they say:

    • Type the below-mentioned command to set up an ad hoc wireless internet connection, “netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid= key=
    They mean that you should write :

    • netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyNetworkName
      key=
      MyKey
