Windows 10: WIFI direct question

I'm really sorry to post this on Miscrosoft forums since this question is about a different product, I have searched internet but didn't find any convincing info, and I know that this forum has amazing experts and very tech savvy people and I got great help here every time I ask questions. So I have an older Samsung tablet and it has a feature called WIFI direct. I know a little bit about this feature but never used it and never had need for it. Anyways the tablet has no option to turn this WIFI direct off. When I open WIFI direct it starts scanning for devices and it always finds few devices

Hostednetwork for wifi-direct

Hi, really hoping we can find an answer to your question...

In my case, I too have enabled a hosted network using the netsh commands, but my android devices are unable to connect to it...always giving an "authentication error"...the password entered is definitely correct however. I have successfully used Connectify on the computer and connected my devices to it, BUT I am looking for a native solution because this desktop I am using is quite a dinosaur and the Connectify services and interface severely tax my system resources.

The reason I am zeroing in on Wifi Direct functions like you are is because Connectify includes an option for "Prefer Wifi Direct" for connections....enabling THAT option is the only way for my devices to use my Connectify hotspot. Again though, I would like to stop relying on Connectify and instead enable this functionality via the Command Line

Actually Kofoed, I suggest you try Connectify, it may just be the answer you are looking for, but for me, I'm hoping for guidance on controlling/enabling Wifi Direct via netsh commands and the like, in conjunction with the hosted network functionality.

Thanks

 

Hostednetwork for wifi-direct

Hey'a all.

Quick question for you all!
I am familiar with using the netsh command in CMD to create a hotspot using the hostednetwork, however since my network adapter support wifi-direct I am considering using wifi direct which is supposed to be faster.
My problem is, I can't seem to find a similar command line or tutorial on how to enable the widi adapter (it is visible in the device manager, but shown as "not connected")

Thanks in advanced!

 

Connecting LG smart TV to Windows 10 pc using WiFi direct

I'm having trouble connecting my LG Smart TV to a windows 10 laptop. When I go to Settings>Bluetooth and other devices I can see the TV in question listed under other devices with a note underneath "not connected". When I go to settings>wifi direct
on the TV it doesn't see the laptop. Any suggestions?
