Windows 7 virtual wifi authentication mode

Hello.

Just a quick question to whoever is using windows 7 virtual wifi capability - when you type in "netsh wlan show hostednetwork", cmd window displays a list of settings for your hosted virtual wifi.

if the router doesnt support it, i wouldnt bother trying to make it work - the old wifi repeater modes really sucked (only worked with WEP security, for example)

 

Wifi names
