Hi, I have an original A2 ICOM and a standalone ISID (ISTA/P, ISTA/D) setup. I am trying to make it work wireless.
Does anyone know if I can do it adhoc (Laptop to ICOM) or I need a router connected to Laptop?
Is there anything I need to know about the router settings or Settings in the ISID setup?
Any help would be appreciated.

No it works fine with most setups

do you have the wifi cards? I used £10 ones from ebay and they worked a charm

[Vacheron]

The ICOM is original so it has the wifi card build in.
Can it work with the laptop without router?
How should I setup the router? (IP, dhcp ect)

[damienj]

You setup the ICOM not the router

make a wireless network on the router with say WPA2 security and then configure the ICOME using its web interface to join it

Can you please elaborate?

[damienj]

Use I toor radar with the icom plugged in using Ethernet cable

obtain its ip address

then use the following port number

Wlan seting= http://ip of icom:58000/?CountryCode=DE

the settings are easy to setup
make sure icom is using a newish firmware

Here's a card that works

Atheros AR9160 Mini PCI ABGN 802.11N 300M WIFI Wireless Card

If you want to connect your icom direct over wi-fi to your laptop without a router here's a method that may work (untested with icom but works when connecting 2 laptops together wirelessly).

Hosted network procedure for windows 8.

Step 1: Launch an elevated command prompt (one with administrator privileges).

Step 2: Run the following command to verify that your network interface supports virtualization:

netsh wlan show drivers

If Hosted network supported says Yes, you’re all set.

Step 3: Now, set up the ad hoc wireless network using this command. Replace the parts in markup tags with your own choices

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=<enter_network_name_here> key=<enter_password_here>

example:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=mylaptop key=12345678

Step 4: Now your hosted network has been created. Now, you need to start it. Use the command below:

netsh wlan start hostednetwork



Step 5:

Change your ICOM wireless setting (SSID and WPA2 key) to match your newly created wifi access point.

Note:

your hosted wireless network connection will need restarting if you reboot your computer. Use the attached batch file to restart it (must be run "as administrator").

Thanks, you have been very helpful hence the +Thanks, +Rep.

You thing this will work in a native ISID install?

[Paul]

Vacheron Do you testet connection between icom and Notebook without
Router, does it work ?

[Vacheron]

Not yet, I think I might need to change some settings in my native ISID installation. If anyone can help with that it would be perfect
