This will allow others to connect wirelessly to your Windows machine as if it were an access point. With this configuration, you can use one virtual adapter to connect to your regular wireless network and the other to connect to another network, such as a WiFi hotspot. Once it’s virtualized, you can convert one physical wireless adapter into two virtual ones. With the Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter, you can turn your computer into a wireless hotspot and let other computers access the internet through it.Įssentially, this technology virtualizes your wireless network adapter much as VMware/VirtualBox does. One Wi-Fi is used to connect to a Wi-Fi network, while the other is designed to communicate directly with other devices (monitors, printers, scanners). In Windows, the Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter allows you to connect two devices using Wi-Fi Direct without routing through Wi-Fi routers or access points.
