A Router is the hub of wireless network connection and helps us to connect to fantastic Internet world without the use of annoying cables and wires. You can not only connect to internet but also go for file sharing and thus, send files through LAN, MAN or WAN.
However, suppose you are having more than a computer to add to a wireless network via router. You will then access to a wireless network via an “Ad Hoc” form of wireless network and thus, enable internet sharing too. This form of connection becomes very fruitful to connect a dozen of systems to one another at a time. Let us consider an example to understand better. A wireless network with an “Ad Hoc” attached works similarly like a cordless phone where you are having a station and mobile phone. The usage of “Ad Hoc” is just similar to have a “Walkie-Talkie” and thus allowing all to use it simultaneously and aid by providing a wireless form of connection.
Before you proceed any further keep in mind to have a proper working computer and an enabled Internet connection with networking. Moreover you need to have a wireless router along with an Ad Hoc available.
