RTL8723BS and windows hosted network

[jjohn38]

hello,

is it a hardware limitation or a software/driver issue?

the 'netsh wlan show drivers` command indicates `hosted network supported` always as NO.

windows 10 32bit and latest drivers installed.

Hello diehard,

This is actually an universal Microsoft* requirement for Windows® 10 Certified WLAN drivers.Please keep in mind that the http://www.realtek.com/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=59&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=375 RTL8723BS* is a RealTek*, not an Intel® Wireless Adapter.I believe their idea is for this (and most) of networking to be handled through the OS only, in order to close possible security gaps.- https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking/000023257.html Why Hosted and Ad-Hoc Networks are Not Working on Windows® 10- https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027762/windows-use-your-pc-as-a-mobile-hotspot Use your Windows® 10 PC as a mobile hotspot.NOTE: Any links provided for third party tools or sites are offered for your convenience and should not be viewed as an endorsement by Intel® of the content, products, or services offered there.
