Hi Akshay,

Thank you for sharing the information. The drivers appear to be correctly installed. I did some research online and found this link http://bit.ly/BveKB that you can refer to for creating a hotspot on your system.

Dell does not endorse or has tested these settings. Please reply if you have any questions.

Sir I have got Windows 8 - 64 bit installed in my system and the link which u mailed me is for windows 7, so I am not getting "SET UP A WIRELESS AD-HOC" tab in my system instead of that I am getting the following tab

Will u please help me with this sir??

Also, with one of the drivers i have got the hotspot client i.e.,

with this client my cell is connected to wifi but i cant surf through my cell, and my cell has no problem as i have connected my phone before to another wifi.

Hi Akshay,

The steps for Windows 7 and Windows 8 are almost identical. I did some further research on this and found this link http://bit.ly/YUcfQQ. You may try the steps mentioned here, but most likely Dell Wireless 1703 does not support hotspot configuration.

Please reply if you have any questions.

Even this is not working sir..

what should I do now..?

Hi Akshay,

This indicates that Dell Wireless 1703 does not support the hotspot setup. Please reply if you have any questions.

Hi Akshay,

You will need to upgrade the wireless card to one that supports this function. Please reply if you have any questions.

do u have any idea about the updated wireless card which u are talking about..? and can u send me the download link..?/

what should i exactly do..?

Hi Akshay,

You will need to purchase another wireless card which supports the hotspot feature and install it in your system. You need to replace the wireless card of your system to be able to use it as hotspot.

Please reply if you have any questions.

It isn't a download you need.  it's a new wireless card.
