Set up windows 8/8.1 to AD-HOC network wireless

Test

As a work around, I would suggest you to use the Wireless hosted network and check if that helps you connect both the computers.

- In the Search Charms, type command prompt, right click on command prompt and select Run as Administrator.
- Type the following commands and press enter.

netsh wlan show drivers
note: Check the "Hosted network supported" string. If it is yes, then your wireless network adapter supports hosted network feature. If not, then you will not be able to use it.


If the string is yes, then follow these steps and check.

To setup a hosted network,

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=”DESIRED_NETWORK_NAME” key=”YOUR_PASSWORD”

To Start the Hosted network,

netsh.exe wlan start hostednetwork

When you are finished with it, you can stop the connection using this command:

netsh.exe wlan stop hostednetwork

You can get detailed information about the network you started with this command:

netsh wlan show hostednetwork

You may even download third party to connect two computers wirelessly.

Disclaimer: Using Third Party Software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems
