Description: Now you can transfer data between Windows 7 & 8 computers without using a LAN cable or the internet. This tutorial will guide you on setting up an ad hoc wireless network to transfer data between two computers. If your computer does not have a wireless adapter, you can also learn how to connect two computers using a LAN cable (crossover cable connection).
Tutorial:
-
Check for Wireless Adapters: Start by ensuring that both computers have wireless adapters (Wi-Fi adapters) installed. If not, consider using a LAN cable for the connection.
-
Access Network Settings: Go to the Control Panel on both computers and navigate to the Network and Sharing Center.
-
Set Up Ad Hoc Network: On one of the computers, click on "Set up a new connection or network" and choose "Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network."
-
Configure Network Settings: Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the network name (SSID) and security key (password) for the ad hoc network.
-
Connect the Second Computer: On the second computer, search for available wireless networks and connect to the ad hoc network created in the previous steps.
-
Transfer Data: Once both computers are connected to the ad hoc network, you can now transfer data between them without the need for a LAN cable or internet connection.
-
Disconnect and Disable Ad Hoc Network: After transferring data, you can disconnect from the ad hoc network and disable it to prevent unauthorized access.
-
Consider Using LAN Cable: If you encounter issues with setting up the ad hoc network or if your computer does not have a wireless adapter, you can use a LAN cable for a direct connection between the two computers.
