Create Wireless Ad-Hoc Network - Mac Tips Daily! #387

Listen to this episode of MTD.

 

Have you ever wanted to quickly create a wireless network between two or more macs, without having a router in the middle? Macs can use Bonjour to make it super simple. This is useful if you are on a business trip or any other situation when you need to quickly network machines. You will need at least two Macs for this tip.

Mac #1

1. Click on the 'Airport' icon. Choose 'Create Network'.

 

2. You can change the name or leave it as the default. You can also keep the same channel or choose a new one. If you want it to be secure, use a password, and this will make WEP required. Unfortunately it is just WEP, but it's probably fine for temporary use.
