The Article for today is about resetting the hostednetwork settings for windows using Command Prompt.
Sometimes there may be a great mess with the drivers or settings or hostednetwork modes, etc etc. At that point all you want is to reset your settings to default.
There are many tools available but none of them is gonna help if your device isn't working properly, they all show errors like check your device drivers or do a restart.
Although you can reset these settings by uninstalling the drivers and then again installing them but that also may be hectic sometimes. So today I am gonna share simple CMD commands to reset your hostednetwork settings
Lets Begin ;)
1# First of all we need to stop the wlan service, type the following command in Your Windows Command Prompt.
HERE is an article for creating hotspot in windows pc if you don't know how to create one :)
So type the folowing command in cmd with administrator access
net stop wlansvc
2# Next step is to delete all the settings or the current saved settings for hostednetwork in the system registry
for this task execute the following command in your CMD window
reg delete hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\wlansvc\parameters\hostednetworksettings /v hostednetworksettings
3# Now the settings saved for your hostednetwork are deleted and all you need is to start the wlan service again
net start wlansvc
4# Now set some settings for your hostednetwork to be created again with default values
so now execute the following command to set your wlan hosted mode to allow :)
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow
5# All is set now you can start your hostednetwork :)
You can refer here for setting up passwords etc for your hostednetwork
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
6# To see the status of the hostednetwork or after connecting your other devices to the hostednetwork enter the following command to see how many devices are currently connected or your hostednetwork security settings , Radio type , Channel ID etc etc.
