Create a Wi-Fi Network Without a Router and Share the Internet
Take this very frequent scenario: you need to share the Internet connection, as well as other files, with devices around you – phones, tablets, game consoles and so on. Or you simply want to extend your Wi-Fi network coverage. Naturally, the first solution that comes into mind is to buy a router and – problem solved! But what if this is not a solution due to various reasons – temporary setup, type of Internet connection to share, lack of power outlet, no equipment available on the spot, etc?
Setting up a wireless Internet connection without a router is usually done by creating an ad-hoc network. But that has certain limitations both in terms of security and compatibility.
