Configuring the Wireless Game Adapter for Ad-Hoc Mode

You can use the WGE111 Wireless Game Adapter in a wireless-only network where the wireless

devices are all set to Ad-Hoc mode. By default, the wireless game adapter is set to Infrastructure

mode; therefore, you will need to set the switch on the back of the wireless game adapter to the

right, which corresponds to Ad-Hoc mode.

In an Ad-Hoc network, all devices must have the same SSID, WEP settings, and IP network subset

address with a unique identifying number (xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy).

Select Ad-Hoc Wireless Settings to configure Ad-Hoc access, as shown in the screen below.
