    Hello,

    My laptop has an Intel Wifi device and I have installed the Intel My Wifi technology to share internet with other devices.

    My friend's laptop has Atheros AR 9285 wifi.

    Does Atheros has a similar software to share internet like Intel My WiFi?

    Note: The devices which want to access the internet from my friends laptop does not support adhoc connection/ peer to peer

    OS: Windows 7.

    Hi, I think Atheros Client Utility will help your friend to use it like AP and share Internet. Also depending on laptop manufacturer you will have different versions available.
