Save the changes. Now all the devices that are connected to the created hotspot on Windows 10 can access the Internet through the external network interface of the computer. Try to connect to your hotspot from your phone, tablet or other laptop. The current settings for the Wi-Fi access point you have created can be viewed using the command:.
The command displays the network name SSID , supported authentication and encryption types, the maximum number of devices that can simultaneously use this hotspot Max number of clients and the current number of connected clients Number of clients. The following command displays the various security settings for your Wi-Fi hotspot and connection keys:.
Make sure that your Wi-Fi adapter is turned on. After that run Device Manager , select Show hidden devices in the View menu. To stop an access point, run the command: netsh wlan stop hostednetwork. Also, try to restart Internet Connection Sharing ICS service, or disable and re-enable the adapter through which your Windows 10 computer is connected to the Internet.
This is the best instruction on the issue I have found, and it worked splendidly. However, after using this for three weeks for so, for some reason it has stopped working.
This issue has been confirmed on two other devices. Every time I make an access point using these instructions, a connection can be established but no data is being moved — even though these instructions did work well for a couple of weeks. Any idea how so solve this issue? But I want to create a Hidden ssid so its not visible to all. Is this case possible.
Thank you man! This worked! Tried everything before, but this worked! Had to change the ip to static on the client device and set the google DNS. I have been facing following trouble. The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation. I use this technology to create a private wifi network. Ensure the laptop's wireless card is turned on and you have an Internet connection. You need to make the connection first, or you will not be able to access the sharing options for the connection.
This tab will not appear unless both devices are connected. Reply with the status of the issue and we will be glad to offer our assistance.
Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. To stop the hosted network, repeat the above command with the stop parameter:. To help save time and trouble, we've created the two shortcuts and made them available for download in our Administrator Utilities Download Section. Simply download them and unzip the shortcuts directly on the desktop:.
Double-clicking on each shortcut will start or stop the hosted network. Users experiencing problems starting or stopping the hosted network can right-click on the shortcuts and select Run as administrator. This will force our newly created hosted network access point to provide Internet and DHCP services to our wireless clients.
Next, select the Sharing tab and enable the Internet Connection Sharing option. Under Home networking connection select the newly created wireless network connection, in our example this was Wireless Network Connection 2 , and untick Allow other network users to control or disable the shared Internet connection setting as shown below:.
After clicking on OK to accept the changes, we can see that the Local Area Connection icon now has the shared status next to it, indicating this is now a shared connection:. At this point, our Wndows 7 system has transformed into an access point and is ready to serve wireless clients! Wireless clients can connect to the Windows 7 access point as they would with any normal access point.
