Question

i don't know how to connect the 2 laptops via 802.11B/G. Pls help. thanx.

Answer 1

YES, you can connect 2 laptops even WITHOUT an access point. This will be called AD-HOC connection.

Configure both your USB WIFI as AD-HOC, because by default (like mine), it doesn't default as AD-HOC.

If one is already connected to Internet, and IF you want to connect the other laptop, then used a proxy server like FREEPROXY.

Answer 2

Theoretically, as much as 255 wireless shoppers, yet just about much less. basically think of that the bandwidth obtainable is divided between the shoppers for this reason in some unspecified time interior the destiny it is going to become just about impractical to connect. it is, in case you pick instantaneous get admission to to internet. basically for having a LAN, it truly is nonetheless okay to have 255 shoppers. you additionally can shrink the form of connections from the router settings.

Answer 3

You can do this using adhoc mode on both adapters. As you will not have a dhcp server you will need to assign static IP addresses to both devices that fall in the same subnet. Perhaps you will have to set both to the same ssid as well. You will also need to setup microsoft networking in order to access the respective devices.

Answer 4

No it is not possible to in the way that your expecting for.Since it needs any other 3rd party device to transfer data between them.So request u to buy a access point make it as centralised point where u can make the connectivity to rest of the laptops.
