Follow these steps to create a secure ad hoc WiFi network from the Network and Sharing Center.
1. Access the Network and Sharing Center using Start » Network » Network and Sharing Center.
2. Select Manage wireless networks.
3. Click Add.
4. Select Create an ad hoc network.
Note: Many network names, known as SSIDs, have security enabled. Connecting to these networks requires that the user know the correct passphrase or preshared key.
5. Click Next.
6. Enter a network name.
7. Select a security type.
8. Enter a security key or passphrase. All users wishing to join the ad hoc network will configure their computers in the same manner.
9. Select Save this network if you wish to save this network for later use.
10. Click Next.
The ad hoc network is now ready to use. You may choose to share files or turn on Internet connection sharing.
If you return to Manage wireless networks at this point, you will see that the ad hoc network is now listed.
