Netsh utility was first applied on Windows Vista and later used also on Windows Server 2008,
Windows 7 and Windows 8. With Netsh utility allows us to configure the WLAN. Immediately, all
the steps to create an Ad Hoc Wireless using Netsh utility.

that do not support this feature, you need to check to make sure your NIC features.

different devices connect to a wireless ad hoc ssid listed according to the name that you created

Hosted by right clicking on the Hosted Virtual Network Adapter select Properties then select
TCP/IPv4 and click properties. See the IP Address listed, then make IP as gateway devices.

For example, setting the IP address for the device that is connected to the Wireless Ad Hoc: IP
Address: 192.168.137.2 (can vary) Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.168.137.1
(adjusted for Hosted IP Virtual Network you earlier) DNS: 8.8.8.8
