Changing the wifi channel of a adhoc windows 10 hosted network
I have created a ad-hoc network from windows 10, I have been using it for almost a year with no complications. Recently I bought a cheap laptop and installed cloudready, for some reason it can't recognize wireless channel 1 but can recognize 6. So I wanted to change the channel of my ad-hoc network.The things I have done:
- Tried changing it from the advance tab the option does not exist.
- Searched the internet for a similar issue, found one at StackOverflow decided on using the solution given by @not2qubit -
- I decided on enabling the option from the inf file
- Tried finding the .inf file from cmd using this,
Code:netsh wlan show all- received this,
Code:Driver : Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 Vendor : Intel Corporation Provider : Intel Date : 17.05.2017 Version : 19.51.2.4 INF file : ????
- Seeing the inf file directory was ???? I found the driver my device was using from device manager and used DriverExtractor to confirm it was the same inf file.
- Searched the inf file for `adhocchannelselect.reg` and `adhoc` didn't return any results.
Appreciate any and all help.The solution can be completely different than the one I am trying to use, as long as it works. The device I am using is MSI GE72 6QF Apache Pro laptop..I am using the latest version of windows 10.I am using the latest wireless drivers from intel for my device(intel AC 3165).
