I used to use Intel My Wifi Technology to turn my Window 7 laptop into WiFi hotspot so that my Android phone can connect to my laptop and use the Internet connection to download apps. Somehow it is not working any more. I can see on laptop the connection gets on and off constantly, and my Android phone does not locate the WiFi hotspot any more.

I tried several ways:

1. I tried to use my Android phone in public library where it is working via WiFi provided there. so WiFi on my Android phone works.
2. I tried to set up my own WiFi hotspot according to instruction found after online search. The problem stays same without using Intel My Wifi technology. It seems like my laptop does not emit WiFi signal correctly. But my laptop can use public WiFi without problem.

I need this working because reverse tethering via USB needs to root my Android device. That I don't want.

Did you tried to set:Hosted Networkwith ICS it is pretty simple :)

edit: to spare your time in cmd write:

Remember that your Wifi card is required to be turned on. If you set this corectly you can find your virtual wifi in your network center > network adapters (or something like that). Now you can easy edit it's settings like ICS and share your Internet !

If you are connected to the hotspot and you have enabled the sharing in the Source connection (the one which is source of internet), by selecting the name mentioned below the hotspot you made( It will be like wireless connection 1 or wireless connection 2 and so on). Than in that case click the ICS (Internet connection sharing) setting and check all check Boxes. Follow step by step as below

like if you are sharing LAN than go toLAN properties -> sharing -> enable sharing check Box -> select the wireless connection corresponding to your hotspot.till now done and no internet thanbelow the enable sharing there is ICS Internet connection sharing settingsclick ICS link and than check all check Boxes. That's it. please excuse typos if there are any.
