Intel® My WiFi Technology (Intel® MWT) enabled laptops, that are connected to the Internet, can share Internet connectivity with other Wi-Fi devices. The devices must be accepted by the user in the Intel® MWT software.

The Intel My WiFi Dashboard creates a personal area network (PAN) using wireless technology based on the Wi-Fi Alliance Wi-Fi Direct™ standard. The standard allows a user to set up a Wi-Fi Direct connection between devices. Learn more here. | |
