Okay, so I've tried to set up a virtual router using these:
- virtualrouter.codeplex.com/
- virtualrouterplus.com
- virtual-router.net/
And others like it. None of them worked however, and my phone would be "unable to connect to the network" with no other error given. I then read about creating a virtual router from within the CMD (http://lifehacker.com/turn-a-windows-8-1-pc-into-a-wi-fi-hotspot-with-the-com-1593327340) and did the steps mentioned. However when I try to connect, it says that I am inputting the wrong password. It's not user error, as I have tried multiple times. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So I just disconnect my internet, do the command, then start the virtual router? – Sameer – 2014-09-30T01:55:20.080
Yep, that should do the trick! If not, report results and I'll have something else for ya c: – Shea A. – 2014-09-30T01:56:05.760
I did this and this exactly like you said, but no luck.

"After typing that command you are going to want to type this one and just hit enter: netsh wlan start hostednetwork" – Shea A. – 2014-09-30T02:03:29.453
I've done that before, but not in conjunction with the VirtualRouter program. Will it make a difference? – Sameer – 2014-09-30T02:06:47.467
I did it so I have this and this but nothing changed in regards to the password. Thanks a lot for your help anyway.

Sometimes it can show up as not working even though you actually have an access point! So open up google to test for yourself, don't just base it off of what you see down on the tray. – Shea A. – 2014-09-30T02:11:49.407
I shared my connection with my main one. – Sameer – 2014-09-30T02:13:21.160
Hmm, never had this problem before. I guess double check to make sure that the box for "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection" is indeed checked. Aside from that I'm not sure why the password isn't working correctly. Strange – Shea A. – 2014-09-30T02:17:07.070
Have you checked to make sure that your wlan adapter is compatible with the hostednetwork? You can check by entering netsh wlan show drivers. Look through the results and hopefully you find "Hosted network supported: Yes" – Shea A. – 2014-09-30T02:19:11.960
