Connecting 4-5 Laptops for Gaming

When you say that you are trying to connect multiple laptops for gaming, are you trying to connect them with a cable, wireless, or both?

You also mentioned Bluetooth. That would actually depend if the laptops you are trying to connect have Bluetooth features and enabled. If you are using a router, you may connect the laptops either wired or wirelessly through it depending if your device is capable of those connections.

If they are then all you have to do is enable network sharing on your laptops then get an Ethernet cable for wired or activate the wireless connection of your device.

Connecting 4-5 Laptops for Gaming

Hi there ,

It seems you are having trouble connecting your PC with other PC or Laptop in order to play Multi player games.

Connecting Through Bluetooth you need multiple connective Bluetooth adapter and some complex software's for the compatibility of your game and i don't suggest in doing that since it would be a herculean task.

I suggest connecting your Pc and or Laptops through LAN cable or known as RJ45 Cable through Ethernet port found at the back of your PC. 

Now connecting 2 PC's Only is simple . You just need a cable (RJ45) and connect it to both Ethernet ports, But connecting 4 or 5 computers you need an LAN hub or Router and sometimes a software for compatibility with games.  

This would be a much easy task and Connection through Ethernet ports is Ultra speed transfer and thus enables pure play of games.

To do this, you can either have a wireless router or a wired network hub. If its wired mode, data transfer will be faster.

If you do not have a wireless router, You can select one computer as host, go to network connection and set up fresh adhoc connection. Then connect other computers to your created connection.

If everyone of you have a WIFI then all you need is a netgear switch/router. If anyone of you doesn't have a WIFI you can simply  plug hard wire into router. Most of the routers  do have 4-5 ports.

If you have a LAN connection that would be fairly enough to play a game as they do not generally require high transfer rate.

Whiepee!

I think you'll be needing Bluetooth features for each one of them to really perform, If you want that way. However

I really wondered how these things work. I also have plans to connect my computers to each other to be more flexible with my works. Anyways too much for it…

 Lesten patio and jane you really had helped me out too.I really find them very useful  maybe I can use them in the future.
