Windows 10: Problem with Wifi Direct -...

Im doing the miracast using wifi direct method - to cast my mobile phone to my windows 10 pc - both devices claim they have "wifi direct" . Im following this example -

https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-10/what-is-wifi-direct-in-windows-10-and-how-to-use-it/


-its connecting & mirroring my phone onto my pc - But the problem is - As soon as I turn off - the internet connection -

the phone mirroring drops out - is it something Im doing wrong ?


the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hudOrgUC9Eo

claims that we do Not need the internet to do the Mirror casting - but then why does the mirroring drop out - once I stop- the internet connection/wifi - Im not stopping wifi direct ????

When will the wifi connectivity problems be solved?


OK, so the Windows 10 engineers bollixed up the wifi connectivity part of the operating system. Everybody knows that by now. It seems they are making some progress in resolving it. Now, instead of seeing "Secured, No Internet" on your list of wifi connections, you see "Connected, Secured" EXCEPT no webpages will load. So you really aren't connected. It does seem to be a step in the right direction. Does anybody know when they plan on a full and complete repair of this screw up of epic proportions?

 

Hostednetwork for wifi-direct

Hi, really hoping we can find an answer to your question...

In my case, I too have enabled a hosted network using the netsh commands, but my android devices are unable to connect to it...always giving an "authentication error"...the password entered is definitely correct however. I have successfully used Connectify on the computer and connected my devices to it, BUT I am looking for a native solution because this desktop I am using is quite a dinosaur and the Connectify services and interface severely tax my system resources.

The reason I am zeroing in on Wifi Direct functions like you are is because Connectify includes an option for "Prefer Wifi Direct" for connections....enabling THAT option is the only way for my devices to use my Connectify hotspot. Again though, I would like to stop relying on Connectify and instead enable this functionality via the Command Line

Actually Kofoed, I suggest you try Connectify, it may just be the answer you are looking for, but for me, I'm hoping for guidance on controlling/enabling Wifi Direct via netsh commands and the like, in conjunction with the hosted network functionality.

Thanks

 

Hostednetwork for wifi-direct

Hey'a all.

Quick question for you all!
I am familiar with using the netsh command in CMD to create a hotspot using the hostednetwork, however since my network adapter support wifi-direct I am considering using wifi direct which is supposed to be faster.
My problem is, I can't seem to find a similar command line or tutorial on how to enable the widi adapter (it is visible in the device manager, but shown as "not connected")

Thanks in advanced!
