Windows 8 Wireless access point issues

[astralkid0114]

I set up hosted network and use my Android to connect to it through wifi. So I run netsh after setting up hosted network.it worked fit a while then, although still connected it says, "stops working". I cannot browse or anything that required a connection. Is there a solution?
so I tried a software connectify pro, and after a while my windows wifi connection icon has a red x over it.so I gotta reboot. Not sure if connectify is disabling it somehow or what.
Also if I stop and then start netsh or connectify, I can't reconnect till I reboot PC. Any fixes or software that won't do this? Thanks

It sounds like you're having some connectivity issues related to your hosted network setup. Here are some troubleshooting steps and suggestions to help resolve these problems: 1. Check Hosted Network Configuration: - Verify the settings and configurations of your hosted network to ensure it's correctly set up. - Double-check the security settings, password, and network name. 2. Update Network Drivers: - Ensure your network drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause connectivity issues. - Check the manufacturer's website for the latest drivers and update them. 3. Check Network Services: - Ensure that relevant network services like WLAN AutoConfig are running and set to start automatically. - Open the Services console (services.msc) and check the status of services related to wireless networks. 4. Power Management: - Disable power-saving features on your network adapter to ensure it stays active. - Go to Device Manager > Network Adapters > [Your Wireless Adapter] > Properties > Power Management, and uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." 5. Use Command Prompt: - When running netsh, ensure you're using administrative privileges. - Try restarting the hosted network using the Command Prompt with administrative privileges:

 netsh wlan stop hostednetwork netsh wlan start hostednetwork

6. Use Native Windows Features: - Instead of third-party software like Connectify, try to rely on native Windows features. - If you suspect Connectify is causing issues, uninstall it and see if your hosted network connectivity improves. 7. Network Troubleshooter: - Run the Network Adapter Troubleshooter in Windows to identify and potentially fix network issues automatically. - Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Network Adapter. 8. Router Firmware Update: - If you're using a router, ensure the firmware is updated to the latest version to avoid compatibility issues. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and improve the stability of your hosted network connection. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to the respective software or hardware support for further assistance.
