I am trying to create an wifi hotspot for a few handheld devices, but keep running into some problems.

After following the step by step instructions provided by talkofweb.com/creating-wi-fi-hotspot... I am able to get the following: enter image description here

However, when I try to connect to the *_Dell network from my tablets (both Android and Apple) and open the browser, I get "unable to connect to the internet."

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

    Few weeks ago I tried the same thing with a laptop of my father in law, it was very frustrating and, ultimately, unsuccessful. A friend of mine who works more with windows (I've been using Linux and Mac only for years) says it just doesn't work with every laptop. Anyway, you may have some luck asking about it on SuperUser. – piokuc Sep 09 '14 at 22:16

Apparently I had the same issue, and come cross 2 solution, one is to buy a router, the other one was downloading connectify http://www.connectify.me/

Hope it helps.
