Differences between several win7/Windows shared virtual Wireless Networks

 

As a system development instructor, in order to share wireless networks with his Android mobile devices, I finally killed the XP system that he has been using for many years and upgraded to Windows 7. I'm glad that this function of win7 makes the old version of Windows Update attractive.

Some children's shoes have doubts: XP can share a virtual wireless network. Why do you have to upgrade to win7? Do you know that the system development teacher doesn't even know that? Hey, this article will introduce the advantages of win7's Virtual Network and the differences between it and XP's shared network. Well, let's start with the virtual wireless function of win7.

I. Third-party software connectify

I believe some children's shoes in win7 are being used, a very small and easy-to-use software. Although it is an English version, it is also very easy to use. It is easy to set the network name and password, so you don't have to teach me.

[Note: if you are using win7, the virtual WiFi using this software is the third type described in this article;

If you are using XP, the virtual network using this software is the second type described in this article]

 

 

I. Shared temporary network in win7

This XP can also be done. "Open Network and sharing center", "set new connection or network", and select "set wireless temporary network ",

Then set the network name, security type, password, and so on. Don't forget to click "Enable Internet Connection Sharing ":

The setting is complete! You can share your Internet access through this connection ~

Iii. built-in virtual WiFi function in win7

If you try the second method, you may know that some devices, such as Android and some Symbian devices, cannot be connected to a virtual network that shares a temporary network. Why? What are the advantages of virtual WiFi?

Originally, the traditional ad hoc network is a point-to-point network sharing mode, and does not support some new devices, such as Android and some Symbian devices. The advantage of virtual WiFi is that it can Virtualize a virtual network card on the real network card and share the wireless network through the virtual network card. That is to say, virtual WiFi has the following advantages: you can access the Internet through a wireless network card and then use the virtual network card virtual WiFi, which is not possible in the traditional establishment of a temporary network.

Okay. Let's get started! ,

2. Start the virtual network card and set it. Perform the following operations:
   

   run the command prompt as an administrator , and enter:
   

   netsh WLAN set hostednetwork mode = allow
   

   SSID =" demo xuni WiFi "
   

   key = 11111111
   

   mode = allow indicates that the virtual Nic is enabled, SSID =" virtual WiFi name ", and key = Virtual wifi password. You can enter these three commands separately.
   

4. Open the network and sharing center, click the connection method you are connecting to the network, right-click Properties, share tab, and select "Internet Connection Sharing" content:
   

   
   

   Therefore, your current connection becomes a shared connection.
   

   [Note: Make sure that the IPv4 address you are currently connected to is a dynamic IP address ~ Because the system will automatically assign an IP address after wireless sharing]
   

6. Enable the wireless network in the command prompt and enter:
   

   Netsh WLAN start hostednetwork
   

   Enable the vro you have set. This is a success! Come and try the virtual wifi ~
   

   
   

We can see that the Wi-Fi attribute we virtualized is the "Microsoft Virtual WiFi small port adapter" function that comes with win7. From the searched Network icon type, we can see that the virtual Wi-Fi type is very similar to that of the vro and different from that of the temporary network.

 

# Do I need to input so many command characters every time I switch on or off the server? It's too troublesome ~~ It is better to use connectify #--

[Tips]: make the above command operator a batch file, which greatly simplifies your operations. The method is as follows:

Copy the command in step 1 to the notepad file, save it, and rename it "Start and set. Bat ". After each boot, you only need to right-click the Administrator to run this batch of files to enable the wireless function. In fact, only the first half of the sentence is enough. Why do I save the network name and key setting statement in the batch processing file? In this way, when you want to change the network name and key, you only need to right-click the file and select "edit" to open it in Notepad. You can change your name and password at will ~~

 

Why can I use connectify to implement a virtual wireless network in win7? Microsoft Virtual WiFi miniport adapter is not supported at the underlying layer of win7, so that any mobile device can experience the convenience of wifi through win7 at will!

 

Okay, sleep. It's half past one. This articleArticleTime-consuming ~~ Good night.
