Almost all laptop computers have a wireless network adapter. The same is not true for desktop or tower computers. Double-click on "Network adapters. If you don't have a wireless network adapter -- which likely is the case -- you'll have to buy one. The simplest solution is to get a USB wireless network adapter like one of these:.
The easiest way is to buy a USB wireless networking device. TP-link's unit works well for me. Of course, as Fredrik said, you first have to have a wireless network that you can connect to.
Typically, the modem your internet service provider gives you have wireless facilities built-in, but they must be activated and set up. That setup will allow you to set your network name SSID and password to protect your network. These signals are rather weak and are easily interfered with by other devices. Hi I bought a second hand Windows 7 desktop today.
I am unable to connect to WiFi. Now look again in the lower right corner of the desktop, only look for the network icon. Looks like a monitor with a weird antenna on the left. Left-click on the Network icon and a popup menu should appear showing what network, if any, you are connected to at the top and below that, a list of available wireless networks.
When I click on the UHWireless network, the is a warning about information being visible to others, which is due to the UHWireless network not being encrypted.
There is also a checkbox to connect automatically when in wireless range and a Connect button. Click on the Connect button to connect and another windows will appears as it tries to connect to UHWireless. If the network you are connecting to has security enabled, then you should be asked to type in a key or passphrase before it will connect.
Once connected, if this is the first time, you should get a window like the example to the right asking you to choose the location for the network.
Home and Work network are trusted location and are basically the same thing. The Public network is not trusted and security is tighter and some network programs might not work correctly. You should see that you are connected and the location is set to whatever you chose, which for UHWireless is Work. Click the close button. If the Windows Mobility Center window is still up, it should show you are connected and the button for the Wireless should have changed to "Turn wireless off".
There are multiple types of NIC cards that connect to different technologys such as Ethernet or Wireless. This lack of multiple Network Interface Cards makes it impossible for a user to have an internet connection whilst sharing a hotspot.
Thankfully due to virtualisation, you can "split" your NIC into "two" pieces of hardware and whilst one is connected to the internet, the other can be sharing this internet connection with your other WiFi capable devices. I've written this instructable assuming that most readers didn't read my first instructable.
Therefore, I will repeat all the steps over again: Anyway enough information, lets get to the instructable. This step will guide you through enabling the "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter": From my knowledge the "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" is not compatible with all wireless cards but if it yours is compatible, and you follow my guide, it will work.
To begin with, if it has not already been done, connect to a Wireless network. Enable the virtual adapter, if this has not already been done, by right clicking on the adapter and pressing "enable" in the context menu. Once you have internet connectivity via your primary NIC, and the virtual adapter is enabled, right click on the "Wireless Network Connection" button and click "Properties".
Once the dialogue box pops up, click on the "Sharing" tab. From here click the check box labelled "Allow other Network Users to connect through this Computer's Internet Connection". Click on the drop down box "Home networking connection" labelled "Select a private network connection" and select the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter which should be labeled "Wireless Network Connection 2".
I, unfortunately, do not have access to the computer I used to set it up with and my new computer's NIC card doesn't support this feature :. This final step will guide you through starting and stopping the wireless hotspot access point.
It's time to go back to CMD. Try connecting to it with a different WiFi compatible device. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did creating it! Sir a big thank you to you.
