adhocmanager's Issues

windows 10 Home/Pro x64 gives error when start selected.

I'm trying to use this program so that I can transfer files between two laptops point to point wirelessly without them needing to be connected to the router and outside world. Both are Dell laptops of the same model, 1) Win 10 Home with Dell 1708 2g wireless card, 2) Win 10 Pro with Intel 9260 AC that is 2G/5G.

1. Hence I'll need to connect on 2G between the wireless card, but the software doesn't have a selection for which band to use.
   2). My SSID on each laptop has that laptops name. The manage connections for the wifi shows a red X on each laptop because I'm not connected to the router at home.
   3). If I select start or the Network Connections followed by start I get the following on either laptop, Nor does each laptop pick either SSID I entered.

Output screen

The hosted network mode has been set to allow.
The SSID of the hosted network has been successfully changed.
The user key passphrase of the hosted network has been successfully changed.

The hosted network couldn't be started.
The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.

4). I couldn't find info on your website for these error messages. Moreover disabling and enabling the Wifi manage connection shown doesn;'t fix the problem, nor does uninstalling and reinstalling the network driver.

Both laptops work connecting to the internet directly, and I've been able to transfer files between via network sharing; however, the ISP router sometimes resets, so I wanted to do laptop to laptop ad-hoc to bypass the router til the files are transfered over to the other laptop which is about 200 gigs. With the router, I'm lucky to get halfway done after 8 hours and the thing resets and have to start over.

If I do "Show Wlan Drivers" I see that "Hosted network supported:No" . Is this the reason even though the start status message says it was set to allow?

Not supported on newer versions of Windows 10 network drivers, affecting newer network adapters?

I will leave this article here for those interested:
