Connecting to Another PC in Ad Hoc Mode
The peer-to-peer setting of the WG111 uses Ad Hoc mode. Ad Hoc mode is an 802.11 networking
framework in which devices or computers communicate directly with each other, without the use
of an access point. For example, this mode is used when two Windows computers are configured
with file and print sharing enabled and you want to exchange files directly between them.
How to Configure an Ad Hoc Mode Profile
Note: Ad Hoc mode will not work using DHCP settings. Ad Hoc mode requires either static IP
addresses (such as
192.168.0.1)
addresses on a Windows PC, refer to the PC Networking Tutorial included on the NETGEAR 54
Mbps Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter WG111 Resource CD.
