PPPOE + Wireless

liks · 18 May 2011

I wrote my ISP login on my belkin router and it's sharing but it's giving me only 0.2mbps and I have 1mpbs. I think my router is dividing the speed but can I make somehow to share all 1mpbs?

PPPoE and wireless doesn't come into the equation with your question...what i think is going on is your ISP is throttling your connection, although that is pretty poor...have your contacted your ISP?

Yes and they said that only if you're business costumer we can provide you with wireless sharing.

That's not exactly the case - you can share your own wireless connection with windows 7, turning any wireless adapter on a PC into a wireless hotspot.

About the Wireless Hosted Network (Windows)

Here are some of the commandlines

Code:

Command	                                                           Description



netsh wlan set hostednetwork [mode=]allow|disallow          Enable or disable the wireless Hosted Network.

netsh wlan set hostednetwork [ssid=]<ssid> [key=]<passphrase> [keyUsage=]persistent|temporary 	

                                                                     Configure the wireless Hosted Network settings.

netsh wlan start hostednetwork	                                    Start the wireless Hosted Network.

netsh wlan stop hostednetwork                                      Stop the wireless Hosted Network.

netsh wlan refresh hostednetwork [data=] key	             Refresh the wireless Hosted Network key.

netsh wlan show hostednetwork [[setting=]security]	 Display wireless Hosted Network information.

netsh wlan show settings	                                Display wireless LAN global settings.

So you could provide the facility yourself. You also need to enable internet connection sharing in the network properties of the wireless connection. I am not sure how DHCP and DNS work for wireless clients, I guess ICS provides it automatically. The only hardware requirement is that the wireless adapters support WPA2-PSK/AES passkey encryption.
