windows 7 - Share laptop's Wi-Fi with a LAN connection and a mobile device

OS: Windows 7 64bit


I want to share my laptop's internet connection between my PC and my Android device.
But I can only do one of them at a time.



  1. The laptop is connected to internet wirelessly.

  2. The PC is connected to the laptop using a Ethernet cable and internet is shared between them.

  3. I want to connect my mobile device to my laptop by making the laptop into a Wi-Fi hotspot.


PC (Ethernet) ==> Laptop (connected to net by Wi-Fi) <== Mobile device (Wi-Fi hotspot)


I have 3 connections in my laptop:



  • Wireless Network Connection (internet - shared)

  • Local area connection (PC)

  • Wireless Network Connection 2 (Wi-Fi hotspot)


Every time I have to disable either the LAN to get the Wi-Fi hotspot working, or disable the Wi-Fi hotspot to get LAN working.


How can I share so I can use both at the same time?
