How to properly set it up?

  1. Install the driver for your WiFi adapter, as you would normally do (skip this step if already installed).
  2. Make sure your adapter works in Ad-Hoc mode (most adapters do).
  3. Download and install the Daihinia package, it will start the Control Application automatically.
  4. Press Proceed Automatically from the Control Application.
  5. When prompted to select the adapter, click on your WiFi adapter in the provided list, click OK.
  6. Create the Ad-Hoc network prefixed "Daihinia" in the network name (SSID), if not performed automatically.
    Examples: "Daihinia" (for an open network), "Daihinia:Joe's-network" (for a private network). The default "Daihinia" SSID is reserved for open networks with no encryption that are available for anyone to join, and the "Daihinia:your-net-name" SSIDs for private and/or secured networks.
    Note: multihop capabilities are turned on only when you are connected to networks with the prefix "Daihinia" in their names.
  7. If you created the network manually, make sure the security parameters are the same on all computers in the network.

If you update from a previous version, it is sufficient to press the Proceed Automatically button. It will remove the old driver, install the new one, then prompt you to select the adapter.
