My teacher has given me a Mac desktop which has a Windows OS. He asked me to connect to 2 robots: Six & Roli to the Mac desktop via Wireless Internet. Then I have tried downloading a virtual router from cnet.com . It hasn't helped because it didn't detect any of the robots' WiFi. What should I do now? Its URGENT because I have to showcase the robots in my institution's Open House, which is next month.
I don't know what the availability in India is, but I got this router "TP-LINK TL-WR702N Wireless N Nano Router" for less that $20 US from Amazon for using when I travel with my Robots and it works great.
If you post a link to the virtual router you downloaded, I would be willing to experiment with it a bit and see if it is usable and you are having a, configuration problem vs it just not working.

2) configure each EZB to connect to your laptop's network
I have virtually never used adhoc mode. Doesn't that require each device to have a static IP? Who is the DHCP server in an adhoc network?
(something else to try after work tonight...)

For example, when we travel and stay at hotels that do not charge for Ethernet Internet and we share a room - I put my laptop in Adhoc mode so our phones and who ever i'm sharing the room with can also use the Ethernet internet.
This has been a feature of Windows since XP.
I'll need to play around with this.

It's internet sharing on steroids
Thank you very much.
With that, turn on ine EZ-B and connect to its WiFi network. Point your web browser ti 192.168.1.1 and you will get ti the EZ-B configuration page.
Follow the instructions in the connection tutorial for client mode, setting the ssid and passphrase to your adhoc network. Reboot the EZ-B and it will connect.
.
Repeat with the other EZ-B.
