Cannot make Wi-Fi hotspot
- by Junaid
I want to make my laptop as wi-fi hotspot. To do so, I pressed button Settings-Network-Wireless-Use as Hotspot..
Then it creates a wireless network connection 'Hostspot' and connects. But it gets disconnected just after making connection.
Here is my network hardware info:
sudo lshw -C network

Can anybody help in it?
