Are you saying that your laptop has a 7265 and you cannot connect to a wifi hotspot?

Did the 7265 come with the laptop, or was it added? If added, by whom?

Hello Shoharab,

As displayed in your NETSH output, hosted networks are not supported by your adapter. However, if you're using Windows® 10, there is a native mobile hotspot feature that is supported by all of our latest wireless drivers.

A Hosted Network is when a host device emulates the functionality of a wireless router, creating a new network altogether. Mobile hotspots are similar, but they work as an extension of your already existing Ethernet or Wireless network.

Please try the following method:

If you're using Windows 8.1 or previous, this will not work. For legacy OS versions, you will need to rely on unsupported third-party tools.

Hello Shoharab,

We understand your frustration. The problem is that with Windows® 10, Microsoft* introduced a new driver model called the https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/drivers/network/wifi-universal-driver-model WLAN Device Driver Interface (WDI). The new driver model https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/drivers/network/wdi-features-not-carried-over-in-wdi no longer supports Hosted and Ad-hock networks.

Because of this change in the driver model, the Hosted Network feature is no longer available.

Best regards,

Hello Shoharab,

 

 

Since the decision to stop supporting Hosted Networks was not made by us, but by Microsoft*, we cannot guarantee this feature will be made available again in Windows® 10.

 

 

You may try downloading an older wireless driver, or uninstalling your current driver from device manager to allow Windows* to install the inbox driver in it's place. But we cannot guarantee this will make hosted networks work again.
