Hello all,
I have set up a hosted network with netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=***** key=*****, netsh wlan start hosted network, so that I can communicate a user interface with a wifi module. The wifi module is set to an ip address of 192.168.173.1 and I need this to be the ipv4 address on my hosted network for them to communicate. The default ip address for my hosted network is 192.168.137.1 and so long as I use this ip address I can access the hosted network with any device except for the wifi module. When I go to control panel>network and sharing center>Local area connection* 2>properties>internet protocal version 4 properties and change the ip address here I am no longer able to access my hosted network with any device including the wifi module.
I will add that I am doing this with my home computer, when I do this at work following the exact same steps I am able to connect the wifi module to the user interface no problem. But at home when I change the ipv4 address I am unable to connect to the internet with any device.
I will also add that the devices will connect to the hosted network when using the 192.186.173.1 ipv4 they just can't access the internet and my wifi module has lights blinking as though it is trying to access the hosted network, alternating blinking of red and green lights, but will never actually make the connection, just a blinking green light.
Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
