NetworkOperatorTetheringAccessPointConfiguration Class

Definition

Namespace:

Windows.Networking.NetworkOperators

Provides the ability to configure and create an object that contains a specific tethering network SSID, and specifies the passphrase used to authenticate clients trying to establish a network connection to the tethering network.

Tethering allows a Windows device to function as a mobile hotspot providing internet connections over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Properties can be configured on the Wi-Fi access point such as the network SSID, the password, and the wireless frequency band.

Windows requirements

Device family	Windows 10 (introduced in 10.0.10240.0)
API contract	Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract (introduced in v1.0)
App capabilities	wiFiControl

Remarks

Windows 10, version 1607, supports Mobile Hotspot, an enhanced version of the mobile broadband tethering feature. The Mobile Hotspot and Wi-Fi Direct technology can't both run at the same time. Mobile Hotspot takes precedence over all Wi-Fi Direct scenarios. For example, screen projection and tethering can't both run at the same time.

Constructors

NetworkOperatorTetheringAccessPointConfiguration()

Creates an instance of the NetworkOperatorTetheringAccessPointConfiguration.

Properties

AuthenticationKind	Gets or sets the authentication kind to be used for the Wi-Fi tethering connection.
Band	Gets or sets the wireless frequency band of the Wi-Fi access point. Use IsBandSupported or IsBandSupportedAsync to check whether the Wi-Fi adapter allows configuring a specific frequency band.
Passphrase	Gets or sets the passphrase used to authenticate the connection. Note As detailed in the 802.11 specification, a passphrase must contain between 8 and 63 characters in the standard ASCII printable character set.
Ssid	Gets or sets the SSID to be used for the tethering network. Note The SSID is encoded using the Microsoft code page for the system's default locale. This SSID may appear differently in the Windows network selection UI on a system that uses a different system locale. It is highly recommended that you set the value using characters from the standard ASCII printable character set to avoid any cross-locale inconsistencies.

Methods

IsAuthenticationKindSupported(TetheringWiFiAuthenticationKind)	Retrieves a value indicating whether the Wi-Fi adapter allows configuring the access point with a specific authentication kind.
IsAuthenticationKindSupportedAsync(TetheringWiFiAuthenticationKind)	Asynchronously retrieves a value indicating whether the Wi-Fi adapter allows configuring the access point with a specific authentication kind.
IsBandSupported(TetheringWiFiBand)	Checks whether the Wi-Fi access point supports the specified wireless frequency band.
IsBandSupportedAsync(TetheringWiFiBand)	Asynchronously checks whether the Wi-Fi access point supports the specified wireless frequency band.
