Problem sharing ethernet connection via WiFi

  • 772

I've an Ethernet connection to the Internet and I need to share it via Wifi with my other mobile devices. I followed up the instructions of setting up a hotspot in Ubuntu:

  1. I created a new connection via the network manager tool.
  2. I setup the security options: WEP 128 Encryption Passphrase.
  3. I turned on the hotspot using this new connection.
  4. My laptop connected successfully to the hotspot, however it didn't appear when I activated Wifi on the other device (Android devices).

What is the problem?

wireless

  1. You have created an adhoc network. To share wifi to your android device, you need to create a wifi-hotspot
