Toggle map Virtual Wifi Miniport

These forums have some great discussions that explain what the miniport virtual wifi MS is all about.

Just to be sure: currently, I "turned off" this point. Should I allow it?

Be it siphoning the bandwidth of my physical network card?

Thanks for your advice.

The Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter is only used for the feature native hosted network that turns a Windows 7 Home Premium or higher-the computer into a wireless router. For this, not the bandwidth of my LAN/WLAN physical card siphon somehow, and can be activated on the left. Mine is activated all the time...

  • To connect to a network using Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter

    I have a laptop windows 7 and I found the so-called map of Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport, I don't know what it's for, but I don't know that it's a virtual wireless card.

    But I can't connect to a network to use it. and I don't know how to connect to a network.
    I DO NOT have any errors, but I just want to know what it's for. :-)
    Thank you.

    Its uses the wireless function integrated hostednetwork that transforms your computer equipped with wireless (WiFi) in a wireless router/access point. I use this feature to connect an iPod Touch (4th generation) wireless internet via my laptop while traveling in places where there is no wireless internet access, but it is wired internet access, IE. to some hotel/motels for example.

    The adpater is not normally used to connect to wireless networks. This work is for your hardware integrated wireless (WiFi).

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/view-and-connect-to-available-wireless-networks

    Interface based on FWIW you can make use of the hostednetwork function by configuring using netsh wlan set hostednetwork of command line commands or use free programs such as Connectify and virtual router that uses a graphical interface.

  • Microsoft virtual wifi miniport card does not properly - code 31.

    I installed AVG Antivirus (bought) and my computer started to loop on a blue screen after installation, so I removed it.  (sony vaio, Windows 7 Edition home premium).  Seemed to go well for several days, we wre away, the computer was off.  I've updated a security setting in my facebook yesterday, perhaps the two are not connected, but then I got threats from three to microsoft, including a message that someone (I did it with a different account) had logged into Facebook with an ISP located in another Province... possible given companies cover several provinces.

    When I saw the threat of malware, I downloaded the free version of avg again and removed.  After the virtual wifi miniport card no longer works and I have been unable to connect to internet, router working properly and it shows me as connected.  I've searched these forums and saw a similar post and a response that suggested to uninstall driver and reboot, so I did.  Now, no driver and still can't connect to the internet.  Someone out there with a solution... it would be much appreciated!

  • Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter missing (hostednetwork starts but cannot connect devices)

    I upgraded my Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro and everything worked fine, I was able to host a wifi network using the command "netsh wlan. I have a htc x, it successfully connected to the wireless network on my laptop via the netsh tha.

    But earlier, I have no idea of what happened but no device (for example, my cellphone) is able to connect to the wifi/hostednetwork hosted on my laptop. He sees the connection, but still hung on authentication / "obtain an ip address" phase and sometimes loops around that. While this same cell phone is able to connect to wifi hosted on the laptop from my friend, via the same netsh command, also it connects fine to routers wireless etc.

    I noticed that in my network connections section, "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" has disappeared. I tried to run the command

    "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = command not allow."

    and then

    "command netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow."

    but nothing is done, the virtual wifi adapter doesn't seem to be back. I've updated my drivers for wireless card that is "Intel Centrino Wireless - N 1030 BGN". But still no change, map of miniport does not return. Then I ran the cmd command "sfc/scannow", in the hope that maybe some file is corrupted and he could get fixed, but even after checking and restarting, it was still no effect on wifi.

    So, basically, that is what is happening, I run the command

    "netsh wlan set hostednetwork ssid = keyUsage htc = key command persist = mode abcdefgh = enable".

    and it will

    "Hosted network mode has been set to allow.
    The SSID of the network hosted has been changed successfully.
    The user key hosted network password has been changed successfully. »

    Then I run

    "netsh wlan start hostednetwork.

    and it will

    "The hosted network began.

    But in my network connections section, "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" does not appear, instead when the connection is started, "Microsoft hosted virtual network adapter" appears and disappears when the hostednetwork is stopped. But nevertheless, no device is able to connect to this hostednetwork, stuck on authentication / phase "obtain an ip address", as a DHCP server is missing or something.

    Kindly, help me out I searched on internet a solution for almost 2 days now, but nothing helped.

  • Microsoft virtual WiFI miniport adapter has adriver problem

    does anyone know how to fix Microsoft virtual WiFI miniport adapter has adriver problem

    Hello

    Control Panel - Device Manager:

    You can double-click it - tab drivers - DISABLE (that is if you do not use this feature).

    You may not have that unless you try to connect to other WiFi devices via your computer and
    many WiFi devices and their drivers do not correctly support the virtual pilot.

    Check with the manufacturer of system and/or support updated real manufacturer Sites and WiFi device drivers.
    (Which is also updating the driver virtual.) If no new drivers WiFi are available then re - install the present
    one.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
    below is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
    found)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version.
    (Those become your fonts of rescue system manufacturer).

    Repeat for network card (NIC) and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as
    Windows 7 like the updated drivers.

    ==================================================================

    More information on what WiFi devices a virtual: (as noted above, if the device or the driver is not
    support the virtual device or is not required then it can be disabled).

    The WiFi device and the driver is installed must support a Virtual WiFi configuration. Check with the system
    Manufacturer support, their documentation online and drivers and ask in their forums (if any) known
    questions. If the wireless device is supported for OEM sound drivers, visit their site for updated drivers and
    known issues (Intel, Realtek, LinkSys and others).

    Hello!

    I was experiencing problems of interference when using the module of Virtual wifi miniport, and I would like to know if there is any way I can change the channel on the v-wifi is bradcasting?

    THX!

    Lee

    Well, I tried to find the latest driver for my card, I could find anything to the atheros website (what gives?).

    Win 7 told me I got the latest driver, but I wouldn't trust windows update, as they said that my ethernet card was up-to-date (see 7.04) and when I went on the Realtek site, driver to v.7.23...

    Anywho! I was not able to change the channel for the ad - hoc connection. I tried the connection with a PC and still cannot connect (so not a problem related to Mac).

    I don't know what is happening with the miniport module or the wireless card (I tried different settings in properties and the Advanced Options tab, as power management), but it just would not work. So I got this router, and everything works fine.

    This is!
