Hello HFlores,

 

 

The hosted network/soft AP feature is not supported on the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 with driver version 18.30 or later. Windows® 10 introduced a new driver model, therefore, the hosted network function is no longer supported.

 

 

For more information, please refer to the following advisory:

Hello HFlores,

 

 

As noted in the FAQ document linked before, hosted networks are no longer supported; however, Windows® 10 version 1607 (Windows 10 Anniversary Update) introduces a similar feature called the mobile hotspot.

 

 

Please check the following document from Microsoft* for more information:
