54mbps AdHoc ?????

sheercataclysm · 01-12-2005

Anybody know how to make an adhoc network that doesn't use the 11mbps 802.11b standards?? Me and a few others have laptops with 802.11g cards and are tired of searching for hotspots to play games against eachother. also, it doesn't make much sense to be lugging around hubs and whatnot. And yes, there is a noticeable difference when you're playing fps's.

802.11g adhoc... does it exist?

No.

(Nothing further to add. This is just added as an endrun around the "The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 5 characters" message.)

If you are lucky, your 802.11g cards clientmanager and driver allows you to set it up as a "virtual" AP, thereby allowing you to use g speeds without an actual AP.

Some PrismGT and Atheros based cards support it. It depends on the driver, and the client manager for the cards.
ZyXEL's G-220 USB stick support it as well.

Google for Soft AP, and Pseudo IBSS.

My bro and I have tried to get an AD-Hoc working once but it never truely worked. We got to the point that we can play games over lan but we could not be able to share files. Windows claimed it was 54Megabits but u know microsoft
That was beck when i was a n00b and used the linksys utility. Does anyone know how to swich your card to ad-hoc with XP?

I was using linksys WPC54G and my bro was using one internal in his fujitsu notbook i think it was called abs or something. I don't think it was 54mbps though just microsoft probably looked at the card type and be like 802.11G cool exceplent lets just say 54mbps
