Starting automatically the wifi hotspot in Windows 11

Question

Hello,

I want to start automatically the wifi hotspot every run of my windows 11 computer. (to connect an ipad)

My PC is connected to internet with an rj45.

I tried to run a "netsh wlan start hostednetwork" but It didn't worked.

I look for in the task planner and didn't found either.

Do you know a way of allowing the hotspot wifi every running of the windows 11 computer?

Thanks

Thomas

Hi @FMC Production Médicale

1) Try seeing if hostetnetwork is allowed on your device:

Run cmd as Administrator

Then run netsh wlan show settings

2) Try the command:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow

3) Program Task Scheduler to run the cmd above on startup.

First, you'll need the cmd above in a .bat file. Open up notepad, copy the command netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow into it and save as runme.bat in some folder.

Use the following article to create a Task with Task Scheduler to run the .bat on startup:
