What is MyPublicWiFi?

Individuals in close proximity can utilize your shared Internet connection, making it an excellent option for establishing a temporary Access Point in settings such as hotel rooms, conference areas, or even your home. When user authentication is activated, users are redirected to a login interface where they must either input an access password or accept the Terms of Use before they can access the Internet. The MyPublicWiFi-Firewall feature allows for the restriction of user access to specific servers, enabling you to limit certain online services, including file-sharing applications and social media platforms like Facebook. This software effectively turns your PC into an Adblock Router, which helps in conserving bandwidth and protecting user privacy. Furthermore, the Bandwidth Manager function allows you to control the upload and download speeds for clients who are connected to your hotspot, providing additional customization. MyPublicWiFi also includes the option to log and track all URLs accessed by users on your virtual WiFi hotspot, granting you thorough oversight of Internet usage. Such extensive management capabilities can be particularly advantageous for overseeing high-traffic areas or upholding security protocols, ensuring a safe browsing environment for all users involved. By utilizing these features, you can greatly enhance the overall experience for your Internet users while maintaining a secure network.

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.
