Windows 10: Wifi Direct

Discus and support Wifi Direct in Windows 10 Network and Sharing to solve the problem; I want to use wifi direct to move images from a Sony A6000 camera to my PC running W10. Is this possible or can it only be done on mobile devices?... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Network and Sharing' started by Vince Kerr, Mar 5, 2019.

    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

    WiFi Direct on a airplane?

    I don't want WiFi; I want WiFi Direct so I can use my Shield Controller with my Shield Tablet. The flights I'm going on don't even offer WiFi.

    WiFi Direct on a airplane?

    Since so many planes are equipped with WiFi, is it safe to assume I can use WiFi Direct to use my controller with my tablet? I'm flying Delta and KLM.
