When you’re traveling sometimes you don’t have a Wi-Fi connection available for your portable devices or need to share files with another wireless computer. Here is how to create a wireless ad hoc network in Windows 7 to solve the issue.

 An ad hoc network is a local area network you can build spontaneously in a pinch. It allows computers and devices to communicate directly with each other within a small radius. The ability to create an ad hoc network has been possible since XP and is a way to quickly share data and an Internet connection to other wireless devices.
To do that you need only two or more computer with wireless network compatibilty.
in this example i used windows 7 but this trick work on windows xp,vista,7,8,8.1,10.

Step 1.Create an ad hoc Network
Open the Start Menu and type wireless into the Search box and select Manage wireless networks.

 Now give your network a name and choose security options…check Save this network if you plan to use it repeatedly so you don’t have to set one up each time.
 The security type will depend on what the wireless adapter is capable of.
If you want you can choose open.
