How do I create an ad hoc network in Windows 8?
- by George Edison
For the life of me, I can't figure out how to create an ad hoc wireless network in Windows 8. Here is what happens if I follow the steps from Windows 7:
Right click the network icon and click "Network and Sharing Center":
Click "Set up a new connection or network":
Where is the option to create an ad hoc network?
Therefore I have two related questions:
Did I miss something? Is it in there somewhere and I just haven't found it yet?
If this feature is not available, is there a tool somewhere I can use that provides this capability?
Further information:
I have an Intel Wireless WiFi 4965 AGN adapter.
I tried the Intel PRO wireless tool and it didn't offer an ad hoc option.
