Intel My Wifi and AIS 7 conflict

[lord ami]

Hello!

I have a problem with AIS 7.0.1466 and Intel My Wifi technology. IMW is basically my ASUS laptop's feature which enables me to share my internet connection. But with AIS enabled, other devices have no access with my hotspot.

I've enabled Home/Low profile firewall setting but it doesn't work with that as well.
It only works when I disable AIS.

Is there any solution for that? I found an older thread about this issue but it doesn't have solution there.


So long,
Lord Ami

I've released the Intel My Wifi and still continues to block the connection hotspot!
How to solve?

hello again.

what happen if you remove the files from your wifi in the avast firewall rules and add them again does that solves the problem?

any other security programs on your computer that could conflict with your wifi?

[jhoniquest]

No use. I already did and redid the settings several times.
Who is the firewall blocking avast because the disable, everything works!

I am having the same problem.  Intel MyWifi no longer works since the latest update to Avast Internet Security. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling MyWifi software and AIS. Looked through firewall rules, reset adapters. Nothing seems to work. Can Avast offer any guidance on what is happening and how to fix it?

It doesn't help to remove and add them again.  Can someone here help with this problem?

ETA: If I completely uninstall AIS, Intel MyWIFI works just fine.  What is the conflict between AIS and MyWifi?

Well, avast 7 is quite old... It's difficult to us even to remember how it works.
If I'm not wrong, Intel MyWIFI was not available for later Windows versions either...
Can't you look for other alternatives to Intel MyWIFI?
