ad-hoc network
Posted: 06 Sep 2011, 19:34
We have many computers in the same building. The wifi routers emits waves that are not captured well in the different areas of the building. I thought that my laptop that is well placed in the building, has it receives well the wifi waves could be used in ad-hoc mode at the same time by other wifi devices less well placed.
Looking on the net I get from connect two laptops using wifi:

Can I at the same time use y wifi card wlan0 to receive from a wifi router and emit with the same care wifi on an ad-hoc network? Is there a gui or a better command to do it?
Thanks.
