在之前的教程中，我们展示了如何将任何Windows 8.1 笔记本电脑或设备^{(laptop or device)}变成WiFi 接入^{(WiFi access)}点。该过程涉及创建用于广播无线网络的虚拟^{(wireless network)}无线网络适配器^{(wireless network adapter)}。将Windows 8.1设备用作WiFi 接入^{(WiFi access)}点后，最好禁用并删除您创建的虚拟无线网络适配器。^{(wireless network adapter)}这是如何完成的：

关于Windows 8.1中^(Bit)的虚拟 WiFi 适配器^{(Virtual WiFi Adapters)}的一些背景^(Background)知识

为了将您的Windows 8.1 设备变成^{(Device Into)}一个WiFi 接入点^{(WiFi Access Point)}，您必须使用几个批处理命令来创建一个虚拟WiFi 适配器^{(WiFi adapter)}。生成的设备名为Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter。

一个非常重要的细节是不能启用多个Microsoft 托管网络虚拟适配器这一事实。^{(Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter)}

要禁用它，您必须运行两个批处理命令，这与我们最初用于创建虚拟适配器的命令相反。

如何禁用Microsoft 托管的虚拟 WiFi 网络适配器^{(Microsoft Hosted Virtual WiFi Network Adapter)}

首先，您必须以管理员权限打开命令提示符。^{(Command Prompt)}然后，输入以下命令：

netsh wlan stop hostednetwork

您将收到一条消息，确认无线托管网络已停止。但是它还没有被禁用。

要禁用它，请输入以下命令：

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=disallow

结果是一条简单的消息，告诉您“托管网络模式已设置为不允许”。^{("The hosted network mode has been set to disallow".)}

您还会注意到虚拟适配器不再列在网络和共享中心^{(Network and Sharing Center)}中。

此外，如果您想仔细检查托管网络的状态，可以运行以下批处理命令^{(batch command)}：

netsh wlan show settings

然后，查看托管网络线路^{(network line)}，如下图：

如果显示否^(No)，则表示虚拟网络和虚拟适配器均已禁用。

结论

这是您在将 Windows 8 和Windows 8.1变成WiFi 接入^{(WiFi access)}点并且不再需要使用此功能后清理它们的方式。我希望我们的解释足以让您从第一次尝试就完成这项工作。如果您有任何问题或意见，请不要犹豫，使用下面的表格。

How To Disable a Virtual WiFi Network Adapter in Windows 8.1

In a previous tutorial, we've shown how to turn any Windows 8.1 laptop or device into a WiFi accеss point. The prосess involved creating a virtual wireless network adapter that was used to broadcast the wireless network. When you are done using your Windows 8.1 device аs a WiFi aсcess point, it is good to disable and remove the vіrtuаl wireless network adapter that you have created. Here's how thiѕ іs dоne:

A Bit of Background About Virtual WiFi Adapters in Windows 8.1

In order to Turn Your Windows 8.1 Device Into a WiFi Access Point you have to use several batch commands that create a virtual WiFi adapter. The resulting device is named Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter.

A very important detail is the fact that it is not possible to have more than one Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter enabled.

To disable it, you have to run two batch commands which are the reverse of the ones we used to create the virtual adapter in the first place.

How To Disable The Microsoft Hosted Virtual WiFi Network Adapter

To begin, you'll have to open the Command Prompt with administrator rights. Then, enter the following command:

netsh wlan stop hostednetwork

You will receive a message confirming that the wireless hosted network stopped. However it is not yet disabled.

In order to disable it, enter this command:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=disallow

The result is a plain message telling you that "The hosted network mode has been set to disallow".

You'll also notice that the virtual adapter is no longer listed in the Network and Sharing Center.

Furthermore, if you want to double check the status of the hosted network, you can run the following batch command:

netsh wlan show settings

Then, check the hosted network line, as shown below:

If it says No it means the virtual network and the virtual adapter are both disabled.

Conclusion

This is how you cleanup Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 after you have turned them into WiFi access points and you no longer need to use this feature. I hope our explanations were good enough for you to get this done from the first try. If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to use the form below.
