how to create a wifi network

Here's how to create a "sort of" access point on our laptops:

1. 2x click the wifi icon in the lower right corner, so that the Wireless Network Connection screen appears
2. Then look on the left side it says "Set up a wireless network for a home or small office." Click on the text.

3. Will pop up a wizard as follows.


4. Click Next and a new wizard will appear and then choose "Set up a new wireless network."

5. Click Next and the wizard will appear below.

Enter the SSID (network name). The SSID is the network name that will be emitted. Select "Manually assign a network key" to make the password manually when about to go into the network.

6. Then click Next and enter the password to be used when trying to log onto the network.

7. Then click Next, the wizard will appear below.


8. Click Next and then Finish

That is the first way. But sometimes the first way fails due to some conditions require network settings as Ad-Hoc networks, but in no way was the first step to setting to Ad-Hoc networks. I therefore wrote again another way that I think is more simple and I use frequently.

1. 2x click the wifi icon in the lower right corner, so that the Wireless Network Connection screen appears
2. In the bottom left corner it says "Change Advanced Settings". Click on the text.
3. Properties window will then appear as follows.


4. Click the Wireless Networks tab. Then it will move to another tab like this.

Click the Add button.

5. Then a new window will appear as ini.ni.

Enter the SSID. Then uncheck the "The key is provide for me automatically" so that we can determine their own password that will be used to log onto the network. Then put a check in the "This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network; wireless acces points are not used".

6. Then click OK twice.

Now, we check the wireless network that we created earlier already exists 2x by clicking the wifi icon in the lower right corner, so that the Wireless Network Connection screen appears as follows.

When we created earlier SSID is visible, it means that we have succeeded. But the status is still "On Demand". To enable the network so that others can also connect your laptop, then the laptop is used as "access points" should mengkonekkan the network first. Therefore, click the "Connect" button in the window. Enter the password you created earlier.

After that, a status that would look like the following.

In the picture status to Not Connected. Do not worry, because the status it shows that there is no computer / laptop connected to another network. Later when there is a computer / laptop connected, the status will change to Connected.

How to create a "sort of" access point I've also apply using the Internal wireless network card on the computer. And may be applied to the USB wireless network, but for USB wireless network I've never tried.

By connecting to a wireless network, we are able to share with the computer / laptop other in a way that is likened to the Windows WORKGROUP us.

And as I said earlier, that we too can share the internet connection on a laptop connected "access points" to a laptop / other computers connected to this wireless network. How? I will discuss in the next article.
