Connection after a while stops connecting to the Internet

I run Connectify on Windows 10 and share my internet connection to connect to my Android phone and Macbook Pro. Both devices are seamlessly connected to the network, and can also connect to it via the Internet, but the Internet connection stops after a random period of time. The Wi-Fi connection is still working, but it returns a “no connection” error message until it is disconnected and reconnected. This time period varies from a few seconds to several hours. The Connectify tray icon indicates non-connected devices (blue). The power settings of the Wi-Fi adapters are set so that they do not turn off or sleep. I'm not quite sure, but I think that in Windows 7 it worked and did not terminate the connection. What could be the problem and how can I solve it?

I just read Quora that the connectify application has (or has) a timeout for the free version.

Alexander Gizis, creator of Connectify. says: We just released Connectify Hotspot 2016 and removed the timeout from the free version. Take it from our website and enjoy! "

Here is what I read. So maybe you are using an older free version of the connection, you can fix this problem by updating the connection software.

If this does not work, there are alternatives. FREE ALTERNATIVES

since window 7 (possibly even with xp) has a program (or command) called netsh , it comes with a preinstalled OS that can be called from the command line and with several parameters you can configure a personal access point.

IF this link doesn’t work, then just ignore the link (it may have died), instead I grabbed the most important part and inserted it below.

Run the following command in the CMD window:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=hotspot_name_here key=password_here

This sets the hotspot properties, such as the name and password of the access point.

Then:

 netsh wlan start hostednetwork

This command will launch a hot spot.

PS. You will need to run the cmd window as an administrator. Click "Start", enter "cmd" in the search, right-click the search result cmd and select "Run as administrator"

There was the same problem, but this article helped me.

If you plan to upgrade to Windows 10 from an earlier version of Windows, uninstall Connectify before upgrading to Windows 10 to avoid a rare error during the Windows 10 upgrade process.

If you have already upgraded to Windows 10 from an earlier version of Windows with Connectify installed, Windows Update will be disabled by some Connectify-dependent services. The easiest way to restart these services is to simply uninstall Connectify and reinstall the latest version of Connectify.

A small percentage of Windows 10 users report driver problems during installation. This is most often due to the fact that Kaspersky 2015 blocks the Connectify driver from installation. You need to either switch to Kaspersky 2016, or remove Kaspersky 2015, or disable self-defense in Kaspersky 2015. Kaspersky 2015 blocks the installation of the Connectify driver in Windows 10, even when Kaspersky 2015 is disabled.

I had the same problem.

Try deleting the connection, make sure you delete and reset it when connectify asks you to save them or delete them.

After rebooting, create a hot spot through the command line and the connection problem will be fixed.

All that is involved with the connection is that it runs a few simple commands and makes you pay for a 3-line command that you can do yourself.
