Setting AP Mode in Windows 7- A6210

Hi, New around here so don't flame me too hard. So I would like to use my windows 7 laptop with my A6210 as a wireless hotspot. Now when I connect to the device to a Windows 10 device, I can go to properties and set AP Mode to on but in windows 7, there is no option in the properties to set it. All drivers are fully up to date.

    Hi Noobnetworker,

     

    I believe this the limitation of the Windows 7 since no option shows on the properties. Check with Windows if they have other option.
