Hey, I recently moved into a new flat, I have a better internet connection now but there is no wireless connection, just a cable. Is there any way for me to set up my laptop so that I can use it to access the internet wireless from it on my tablet an mobile? I have a 64-bit Windows 7 computer.

The phone isn't so important, its my Nexus 7 tablet that I want to connect, I don't want to use my phone as a hotspot, is my laptop that I want to be providing the connection.

what's the name and model number of your laptop and I can tell you if you can make your pc a hotspot and if your just using it for installing and playing games you can download them of Google play to your tablet?

Thanks, that did help, I now have a network that my nexus can see, but it seems unable to connect. Just says "connecting", then "Saved, secured with WPA2", and remains unconnected.
