What is HostedNetworkStarter?

The Wifi hosted network feature in the Windows operating system allows users to set up a wifi hotspot, facilitating access for any wifi-enabled device to the computer's network and internet connection. However, many users have faced challenges with HostedNetworkStarter crashing when they try to start the hosted network, particularly due to a failure in hnetcfg.dll as it attempts to disable current Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) settings to establish ICS for the new hotspot. It is unclear whether this issue arises from a misconfiguration in HostedNetworkStarter or if it is an underlying bug in the ICS component of Windows 10. Interestingly, a number of users have noted that this problem surfaced after they installed the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, indicating a possible correlation between the update and the crashing problem. Consequently, this leaves users searching for effective solutions to create a stable wifi hotspot without interruptions, as the need for reliable internet access continues to grow in today’s digital world. A user-friendly fix would greatly enhance the experience for those relying on this feature for connectivity.

This platform provides ongoing surveillance of the wireless network to identify performance issues, ensuring maximum uptime, seamless device connectivity, and enhanced network return on investment.

The platform features a patented component known as Sapphire Eye, which serves as a cutting-edge Wi-Fi sensor. These hardware sensors are deployed on-site and are specifically engineered to facilitate remote monitoring of wireless network quality through cloud-based technology. Additionally, 7SIGNAL boasts another patented offering called Mobile Eye, a Software as a Service (SaaS) application. Installed directly on the user's wireless device, Mobile Eye empowers organizations to continuously track the performance of their wireless network right from the endpoint, providing valuable insights and enhancing overall network management. This dual approach of monitoring from both the edge and the endpoint ensures comprehensive oversight of the wireless environment.
