    No Choice for Ad Hoc Network


    As part of a practice I'm doing, I was going to set up an Ad Hoc wireless network on my Windows 10 Enterprise computer. But under Network and Sharing, like this:

    I think I may have answered it myself: My computer has no built in AP. I assume that because of that, Ad Hoc is not one of the choices.

    Set up a new network and yes, you have to have a installed wifi adapter.

    Hey RonNewYork,
    If you haven't already, check if you WiFi adapter has Hosted Network Support. If so you'll need to setup it up and turn it on.
