The Adhoc Manager allows you to configure and start your Hosted/Adhoc Network as simple as possible. The need for it comes as that Microsoft removed the GUI in newer Windows versions.
- Windows XP/Vista/7/10 (32/64 Bit)
- .NET Framework 4.5
- WiFi Adapter
- An upstream connection to share (Dial-Up, Mobile, Ethernet etc.)
- Start the application as Administrator
- Enter a SSID and password (optional, but recommended)
- Click on Start
- Click on "Manage Connections.." and Right Click on the Connection you want to share. Open "Properties -> Sharing" and enable the sharing for other users, select "Hosted Network" or similar as the Home Network Connection.
- Connect your clients to your WiFi Network
- If starting the network fails with a message like "Invalid State", try to disable and re-enable your WiFi Adapter
