Answer» I tryed to set up a WIFI communication between two computers on the same floor, in DIFFERENT rooms, about 16 metres far from each other and some 3 walls between them. Tryed to do it without an access point just com-to-comp (AD hoc). Didn't succeed. Can anybody tell me what's the average range for WIFI adapters working in Ad hoc mode? Thanks in advanceThere are so MANY variables to take into consideration here, to be able answer with just a simple figure.
Wireless standard of the card? - B, G, N1 What are your surroundings made from? - Wood, Metal, Glass? Are there any other TECHNICAL items nearby? - Other wireless instruments? - Routers, Mobiles, Taxi radios, Baby monitors?
I would say, as a very rough guess, about 30 metres - with GOOD visibility.
Don't forget when you go 'Ad Hoc' your computer assigns you both a TEMPORARY IP address - so if your systems settings are such that you're statically assigned then this could also cause issues.
