building process for Ad Hoc wireless LAN is very simple as it leaves
out wireless AP. But the transmission distance for wireless network
card is generally around 40m in indoor environment, when the
distance exceeds this effective transmission distance, communication

computers can connect with your product after inputting network key.
Set the IP address of your host, making sure that the address will not
conflict with IP addresses of other wireless facilities. When the above
three settings are finished, press “OK” to save your setting and start
testing. If the connection is tested to be successful, interface showing
network information will be displayed. Then you can check the set
parameters.
When the setting of Ad Hoc wireless network for the product is finished,
you need to start the wireless network function of the computers which
