Joined Nov 25, Messages 2. Hello, I have recently become the proud owner of a Sony Xperia P which I would to be able to connect to Wifi in my bedroom. Unfortunately, as my router's WLAN isn't strong enough to reach my room I get internet on my laptop via ethernet cable I need to use my laptop as a hotspot to be able to connect my phone.

So I set up an ad-hoc network to share my laptop's internet connection via its own Wifi. I'm pretty confident I followed all the required steps accurately enabled LAN connection sharing, etc , but when I try to connect to my new ad-hoc network on my laptop's list of wireless networks, I just get indefinitely stuck in the "Waiting for the network I also tried with WEP security disabled, so no key was required, but to no avail. Post a Comment. It runs Android OS 1. Android doesn't let you connect your phone to an ad-hoc i.

Only infrastructure networks are supported. So, if you have a wired internet connection in your laptop or desktop PC, you can't share that to your Android phone through WiFi. But now, you can do that at absolutely no cost!!!

Without purchasing any hardware!!!! Read on It emulates a WiFi router through Software!!!! Whether this is mirroring or streaming, I don't really know but it seemed that Tethering was the way to go, if it would work. I have no problem following your instructions for tethering but get different reactions from my computer.

However, when I asked Windows Media Player to work I got the message "failed to connect to remote library". I have been fiddling around trying to find a solution on Google to this problem and now I cannot get any devices to show on Networks apart from the 3 in the computer section. I am running Windows 7 and it is a 64 bit Dell computer.

Have you enabled USB debugging? What are your firewall security settings in Windows? Finally, if all you want to do is view images and videos, install the Google Photos or Google Drive app on your phone. Then you can go to the Google Photos website or Drive website and view your images and photos. The app will have to sync and you can set up within the app settings to delete images from your Gallery once they sync with the cloud.

Read the article on this page and the answers. You will have the necessary information. Now, not all laptops or phones can hotspot to share internet. If you are experiencing trouble after troubleshooting, your PC WiFi may be damaged. Run a PC troubleshoot on your Network Connections. I have no option on the phone to tether as access point as on my smartphone. I suppose for an old phone like this there was a Sony PC application that facilitated tethering. Many Thanks.

The article only covers smartphone. My phone is a slightly older but still a 3G phone. This article only covers newer smartphones. I have been trying to tether my laptop and E5 so I can use the internet on the laptop. Although I have checked the tethering option on the phone the laptop just says 'no connections available'. But it works on another laptop without Companion installed. Does this mean I have to uninstall the Companion?

The article refers to a different model of Xperia and it doesn't mention the Xperia Companion, so I wonder if that software is only on the E5. I have tried: Stopped Companion from starting up automatically Tried to use it with combinations of WiFi hotspot - I don't really understand this I'm afraid.

I think it was caused by: I don't know. My ancient Xperia 5 years old could tether with no problem.
