Drivers
Using the correct drivers for your WiFi adapter is crucial. Many recent driver updates on Windows 10 and Windows 11 have removed Ad-Hoc support so it is important to use Windows 7 drivers for the affected adapters. Finding the correct drivers can be a difficult process so we provide downloads for some known-working drivers here.

Legacy PSP Method
The "legacy method" only works for PSP and uses XLink Kai itself to directly communicate with the WiFi interface. "PSP XLink Mode" must be supported in the driver and the user has to to manually connect to the PSP's AdHoc network. This method is problematic as it only works on Windows XP/vista/7 and is not possible on Windows 8/10/11
Please refer to the lists below for WiFi cards that have been confirmed to work using this method.
