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.
You'll like it - specially for multiple EZ-B's on a single computer without a router involved. With some network adapters and Windows 8, you can actually connect to the internet AND receive adhoc connections.
It's internet sharing on steroids
Hi DJ Sures, That really sounds great. I do not need to download anything like a virtual router. So by making my laptop ad-hoc, it becomes a router? Well I gonna try that before putting my 2 robots.
Thank you very much.
DJ Sures, I have just configured a new ad-hoc network on my laptop. Right now, it says 'Waiting for users". Now I want to know how do I make the 2 robots connect to this laptop.
Easy way is if you have another computer. Doesn't need to be Windiws, just have WiFi and a web browser.
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.

Hi Alan, where are the set of instructions? Can you send me the link?
All tutorials are in the learn section.
Start with Connecting & Issues under the EZ-B V4 WiFi heading.
I m unable to connect the 2 EZB together. I rather use another computer for that. Thanks for all of ur replies.
Try moving the two EZB's further apart. It's been reported that if two or more EZB's are closer them 6" to 12 " apart the WIFi signals will interfere with each other and prevent connection.
