Connect ad-hoc

Gramps:
Has anyone tried to connect these using wifi without a router?  In Pc's I think it's called ad-hoc and you can connect two devices without a router.

dj0qn:
The default shipped configuration is setup to do just that. This allows a test before
moving onto a network.

Otherwise, it is never a problem to just change the IP addresses to be the same subnet
and connect them together.

Hi Bill,

I missed the part that that you were using WiFi before. I assumed a normal ethernet ad-hoc network,
sorry for missing that. All you need for that s an ethernet cable with a cross-over adapter.

Assuming you can enter a name manually as the SSID for the WiFi module that you are using, then
just make both RRC's the same without a password and change the mode to ad-hoc , and that should
work. That works in all the bridges I have used, such as the Netgear WNCE2001.

If you are using the new internal module from RemoteRig, I am not sure if it has an ad-hoc mode.
The manual seems to indicate that it only scans existing networks. If not, this would be a feature
request.
