With VirtualWiFi, you can connect to a guest’s machine or play games over an ad hoc network, while surfing the web via an infrastructure network.This new functionality introduced by VirtualWiFi enables many new applications, which were not possible earlier using a single WLAN card. Therefore, VirtualWiFi allows a user to simultaneously connect his machine to multiple wireless networks using just one WLAN card. The user can then configure each virtual card to connect to a different wireless network. It abstracts a single WLAN card to appear as multiple virtual WLAN cards to the user. Or am I in the wrong ballpark and it is nothing to do with this new driver.VirtualWiFi (previously known as MultiNet) is a virtualization architecture for wireless LAN (WLAN) cards. When trying to troubleshoot the limited connection I get the error message '"Wi-Fi does not have a valid IP configuration".ĭoes anyone have any advice on how to get the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter back? I've tried reinstalling both my Ethernet and WiFi drivers in Device manager but it always installs Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter instead. Also, my devices can connect to the hotspot I create but the network itself is limited and they have no internet access even though I have enabled sharing on my Ethernet connection. In Device Manager instead of finding an instance of Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter I have Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter installed and this is only present in Network Connections when the hosted network is started and it disappears when it is stopped, unlike the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter which was persistently in Network Connections. I've been trying to get my virtual WiFi hotspot working since I upgraded to Windows 10 and it does not seem to be working.
