Doesn't matter, preferrably a Linux distro (such as Arch). I got Windows 10 as main OS. I got only no Mac.
try http://www.connectify.me/, get a 'free pirate version' from you know where.. it worked for me pretty well back in the DS era
@migles this only supports WPA2, since Windows doesn't support WEP, Linux works with other stuff, but I forgot how...
Connectify works well. I thought Windows 10 had the function built in but maybe I'm thinking of something else.
Thanks for clearing that up. If you own your router, you can change its security to WEP visiting your public IP address as a URL. Login to your router and there should be a security menu where you can change the security.

@Pikm not my own router, and I'm only allowed to setup a hotspot by my parents
connectify only supports wpa on the free version.
i remember i needed to use the pirate version to make it work with wep
@migles, AFAIK Windows doesn't support WEP for hosted networks anymore, only Linux does, but I don't remember how I had it working
in Linux it's most conveniently done by using network-manager (arguably the most popular connection setup GUI), it will probably require backends (dnsmasq + hostapd, last time I checked many years ago) to be installed
in Windows you normally need 3rd party (usually wifi-card-brand) software, for the softAP integrated in Windows 7+ is WPA(2) only - and they're hard to find, honestly
In either case, access point mode must be supported by the card and drivers!
Hmmm, I can get it to work on Linux honestly, just remembered I used USB tethering on my phone with Ubuntu
just checked, they removed the option for wep, only allow wpa2 what a fucktards...
maybe old versions still work.. i may have the setup for the older versions wich supported wep on my backup hdd. send me a PM if you want to give a try

Alright, can you try it out whether or not it works on Windows 10? If so then I'll DM you
Share this question:
We access IS applications through LAN, WAN, VPN and Extranet. While the experience is smooth on LAN on our Windows based desktops & laptops, we face following challenges today:
- Limitations on IS application accessibility for other operating systems, browsers and devices
- Performance issues when accessed from VPN/WAN
- Limitations in accessing applications from ODCs
Considering the need of the hour, we are pleased to inform the launch of iConnect - Citrix rollout to all Infoscions for accessing IS applications. This will enable unified, high performance, secured and reliable user experience for IS applications on any device, from anywhere. iConnect will also enable accessibility of IS applications from ODCs as per client regulatory requirements.
Citrix was rolled out in 2012 for selected WAN, power users and a couple of ODCs to meet performance, device and security requirements. We observed performance improvements of 75% to 82% over WAN. Based on the performance and capability benefits realized, we have constantly received new requirements for Citrix solution rollouts, especially from ODCs.

The rollout has commenced for LAN, WAN & VPN users. Access from Extranet and ODCs is also on its last phase and will be rolled out for all soon.
