netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=dota key=pass keyusage=persistent

i eager know topology (star, mesh etc.) use, may use optimally per needs.

p.s.: did post question on superuser.com got no response. hoping lucky here. :)

microsoft says

the wireless hosted network new wlan feature supported on windows 7 , on windows server 2008 r2 wireless lan service installed. feature implements 2 major functions:

• the virtualization of physical wireless adapter more 1 virtual wireless adapter referred virtual wi-fi.

• software-based wireless access point (ap) referred softap uses designated virtual wireless adapter.

and

with feature, windows computer can use single physical wireless adapter connect client hardware access point (ap), while @ same time acting software ap allowing other wireless-capable devices connect it.

as on ap mode (or managed mode) when want connect other wireless device connected laptop client (phone, laptop, tablet, etc.) star topology.

but when connects access point wifi router, act client (or station adapter), start topology again.

mesh topology commonly used on ad-hoc wlan mode.
