  2. Share phone's WiFi with a PC

    I have an android phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 4) which is connected to a WiFi network. Can I share this network (e.g. via USB) to my Windows 10 PC? I cannot connect to the WiFi network directly on my laptop.

    Problems when sharing WiFi with the Virtual Adapter

    For many years I have always shared Internet to my devices like phone and tablet with my PC's WiFi antenna through the Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter, I only use it for that, since I have a cable connection, and I start the wifi with the command NETSH WLAN start hostednetwork previously having done the settings of NETSH WLAN set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="Wifi" key="password".

    For my devices to connect it is necessary that the Virtual Adapter that is created with that command has access to the Internet, for this I have to share the Internet from my Ethernet adapter to the Virtual Wifi adapter.

    For some time now (a couple of months) I've been experiencing problems when sharing the Internet through that medium. The problem is that when I start the WiFi my devices do not connect, they say "Getting IP address" and never connect.

    I have found the solution and I have to do the following:

    1. Disable the Virtual Adapter with the command netsh wlan stop hostednetwork.
    2. Remove the connection sharing from the Ethernet Adapter.
    3. Activate the Virtual Adapter with the command netsh wlan start hostednetwork.
    4. Adding connection sharing from the Ethernet Adapter to the Virtual Adapter again.

    By doing these steps my devices can now be connected to the Wifi, but sometimes it doesn't work if I do these steps too quickly. I have noticed that if I do step 3 and 4 too quickly it does not work and I have to repeat the process but doing these last two steps more slowly, until the Virtual Adapter gets an IP address 192.168.137.1 from Internet Protocol version 4

    Also this problem does not occur 100% of the time. Sometimes when I run the command to start the Wifi everything happens fine and my devices connect well but this only works after my PC has been on for at least 5 minutes (I haven't counted it). If I run the command as soon as my PC has turned on then it doesn't work anymore.

    As I mentioned before this problem didn't occur before because I had configured a .bat file that ran as soon as the PC was turned on with the NETSH WLAN start hostednetwork command and everything worked fine.

    Now, I would like to go back to before when everything was fine so that when my PC starts up the WiFi too and I don't have to do all this protocol all the time, but with a simple command everything is solved.

    Could someone give me a hand with this?

    I can’t share wifi from my phone it’s not showing in the pc

    No wifi on phone if my PC is turned off

    I have a Nokia Lumia 920. I can not connect to my wifi using my router TP-Link TL-WR841ND if my PC is turned off. Strange if my PC is on, i can without no problems.
    I figured it may be a problem with the router,firewall or something....but why it only affects when the pc is turned off ??
    Tried to change some settings around the router.....nothing worked.Not that i had a clue to what i am doing.I jsut changed some settings to see what happens. No result. If my Pc is off my phone can not connect to wifi.
    The phones finds the router but it seas "no internet connection" even if it shows that it is connected and it has full signal.
    Hope you guys can help *Smile I can’t share wifi from my phone it’s not showing in the pc :)
    P.S. : I am using Windows 8.1 on my PC
