using laptop as router

[somicas]

Hello, I wanted to make my laptop [Acer aspire V17 Nitro] as wifi hotspot and I did it, but the problem is that when i find that wifi on my phone or other laptop it has full signal BUT it's spread "empty" internet. Maybe someone could help me with this problem? [i'm using command prompt to make it]. Sorry if it is really hard to understand what I want to say.

What do you mean by "empty" internet? As you're connecting to the network but not receiving internet?

Is there an Ethernet cable plugged into the laptop?

Oh I think I know the problem, on the wifi connection you're on, have you enabled it to be shared to any connected devices in network and sharing center?

I edited my post, In network and sharing center, press adapter settings and see if the sharing device is enabled, make sure the ethernet is connected too.

Everything enabled there.

 

I could send pictures if someone need more info or I could just try to answer. Really need to repair this thing.
