I'm using the wireless hosted network feature in Windows 7 to share my internet connection with my other devices, I connect to the wireless network I want to share and start the hosted network:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
This allows me to connect to an SSID and broadcast another SSID using 1 wireless adapter. I tried using an access point to connect to the wireless router, and connect a router to it to broadcast a new SSID but it didn't work, and I tried to use a repeater which broadcasted the same SSID.
My question is how can I reproduce the same functionality of the Windows 7 hosted network (connect to SSID1 and broadcast SSID2) without using a computer ? using only hardware like access points or routers...
What exactly is the "functionality" you are after? Do you want to have two separate SSIDs? Two separate networks? What are you trying to do? – terdon – 2013-07-13T12:26:45.607
@terdon I trying to connect to my wireless network and redistribute it using another SSID, and I'm doing this now using the hosted network feature of Windows 7. – Pierre – 2013-07-13T12:33:56.973
So, you simply want to have 2 networks with 2 different SSIDs? – terdon – 2013-07-13T12:41:28.283
@terdon yes but the first network shares it's internet connection with the second network. – Pierre – 2013-07-13T12:51:37.680
scratch that, they were actually access points that I was using as repeaters. I am not at all sure that a repeater can do what you need (if you really need 2 SSIDs) but I'm pretty sure an access point can. I am deleting my answer since it is most probably wrong. – terdon – 2013-07-13T18:00:02.490
On wich Wireless Card you try to do that ?? – DeaconFraust – 2013-07-24T13:26:39.723
@DeaconFraust I'm currently using Atheros AR5005G and the Windows 7 hosted network to do this, but I want to know how to do it without a pc. – Pierre – 2013-07-25T07:01:11.690
