Creating an ad hoc wireless network using Mac
The recommended way to set up your wireless network is to use a wireless access point (wireless router). A network
set up this way is called an infrastructure network. If you have an infrastructure network in your home, you should

printer and a computer with a wireless network adapter, you can set up an ad hoc network.
