Describe the Microsoft Windows 7 feature referred to as the wireless Hosted Network.

What will be an ideal response?


This feature has two parts: the virtualization of the physical wireless NIC into multiple virtual wireless NICs (called Virtual WiFi) and a software-based wireless access point (SoftAP) that uses a designated virtual wireless NIC. The wireless Hosted Network allows users to extend the functionality of their portable laptop computer. For example, a user could set up her computer to create a wireless network so that other users can quickly share documents wirelessly between multiple computers.  Another function allows a laptop's network connection to be shared by other computers and devices. For example, a user could connect her computer to the Internet and then turn her computer into an AP that shares the Internet connection with other wireless laptop devices, much like a hardware AP.
