Make secondary Wi-Fi adapter work as Hotspot Device Things to consider: 1. Must have 2 Wi-Fi adapter. One is for internet connection. Second is for Hotspot. 2. Secondary Wi-Fi adapter must support hosted network feature. See in Fig. 1 3. This is available in Windows OS Only 4. Can Run Command Prompt or CMD at administrator privilege Thing To Do: 1. Plug your secondary Wi-Fi adapter and install the factory driver or the driver included in the box at purchased. Restart your computer if it ask to after the installation of the drivers. 2. Run CMD as Administrator 3. Check your Wi-Fi adapter capabilities if it can host a network by running this commands in CMD. netsh wlan show drivers Note: Hosted network supported : Yes. If it is No then your adapter cannot be a Hotspot device. Try to install an alternative drivers that worked with it as my recommendation.
