Warning W517 - Wireless connection is ad-hoc, i.e. to a device and not infrastructure/network (Access Point).
Fix: If you are indeed connecting to a device then ignore this warning; if you were expecting an infrastructure/network (Access Point) then beware: it can be a hijack attempt. Malicious users may set up their computers to provide wireless networks using the same name as known networks to have you comnnect to their computers instead; this way they can attempt to hack into your computer.
Set your system (Wireless \ Advanced) to connect only to infrastructure/network and not any or ad-hoc (device to device).
