I am unable to use my ASUS EeePc 1015PX notebook as wireless hotspot, so that my Samsung Galaxy S Duos (GT-S7562) smartphone can access internet from it through wifi. My notebook has Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter, Windows XP SP3 and Dot Net Framework v 4, and broadband internet. I have tried virtual router software like WiFi Hotspot Creator, but that didn't help me at all.
A detailed suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Dear Dnice, Thanks for your suggestion. But VirtuaRouterPlus is not working for me in Windows XP. When I'm trying to install, there comes the error message "VirtualRouterPlus has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I think the program supports Windows 7 onwards.
Dear David, As per your advice I downloaded and installed Connectify me (XP compatible version 3.71). Things seemed to be okay at first, but I am stuck at connecting my smartphone to my Hotspot. (Connectify-HOME "not in range"). Settings are as follows: Hotspot Name - Connectify-HOME Internet to Share: Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Share Over: Wi-Fi Sharing Mode: Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc, OOpen Please help. Thanks.
