Wifi Adhoc connection

[Penecho]

Hi I was wondering if it's possible (and if yes how do I do it) to create a "Virtual Wifi Router" with my surface Pro 2. I do not need/want to share a broadband connection.

Background: I want to use my Surface Pro 2 with the EOS Utility to remotely connect with my DSLR (Canon 6D) over Wifi (out in the wild) so there is no network available. I thought I could just use the Surface to "create" a Wifi Network, so my DSLR is able to connect to it and I can control it remotely...

You can't create an adhoc WiFi network in Windows 8, unlike you could with MacOS via the GUI.
