You may have heard of ConnectifyME or Virtual Router Plus,
These do not work for me, and they are more nag ware and crapware installing garbageware.
Here is a Zip file for a Powershell Script I heavily modified,,, there are some caveats to using it
Not as elegant as I wanted it to be, but it does work
I am not a programmer by profession, more of a hobby
I did not write all of this script, I just made it do what I wanted it to do from pieces I found posted on the net
You have to run it, then go into Network Connections and locate your WiFi adapter
Right Click and choose Properties
Goto Sharing Tab and Check the top box and uncheck the bottom box
You might need to select the adapter to share with,, it will be Local Area Connection* and some number
You may not have to do that, it should still work
Give it about 4 min at minimum to show up on your device
You should only have to do this process once, after that it should be automatic when running the script
There are 2 files in the Zip
Extract these to some location, I recommend a flash drive or something like
D:\Hostednetwork
The first is Start Share.ps1
You will have to modify this file to point to the location of the 2nd file Enable_Hostnetwork.ps1
'D:\HostedNetwork\Enable_Hostnetwork.ps1'
You can modify that path by opening Start Share.ps1 in Notepad
You will then want to modify Enable_Hostnetwork.ps1
Use Notepad or Notepad++
You will look for (it is on Line 70)
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyShare key=12345678
That is the only things you want to change, SSID and KEY
Do Not Change Anything Else, it will break it.
Then run it again and select Disable
After a few moments
Run it again and select Enable
After another few moments you should have the WIFI show up on the phone
I have tested this repeatedly and put my phone in airplane mode and it works over WIFI
I wanted to do this through a batch file cause it would have been a lot easier
But, I would not have been able to get the share to enable.
If you have any issues I will try to post back if I can.
I may try to re-write this in C#, I think I can get the results I want from that a lot easier
And more options. But that will take me a while.
I hope someone finds this useful.
You can use this to transfer files using other File Manager Type Apps for the WP8 that support FTP or sending files via HTTP
Among other things. Enjoy.
