Are you trying to create a Wifi Hotspot on the PC?

OR

Are you trying to access the wifi hotspot created on your phone?

thank you this quote from this article pretty much explains the problem "Note that you have to be plugged into a wired connection in order to share the connection wirelessly with others, or have a second wireless card"as i am using a photon max plugged in my laptop that's why i can't turn my laptop into a hotspot,i guess i have to scour all my town's tech shops to find a 3 pin to usb convertor,i'll be lucky if i find one in my city lol.btw can you tell me the exact technical name of that thing that let's you plug in your photon max into a power socket

Connectify pro deals with that.

For some, cmd way works.

There's one more hotspot creation software which i am forgetting right now. Will share as soon as i remember.
