Windows PC as a Wireless Hotspot (2)

In the first post, we needed to install a third party software to convert the PC to a wireless hotspot. There are many hotspot software (free and paid) on the internet

While installing method is convenient, sometimes it might not be convenient to install one.
Windows have internal features that can be activated to convert your system into a Wireless router.

1. Open the Windows Command Prompt

2.  When it opens, type in the following command:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyNet key=MyPassword

Replace 'MyNet' with a name you want to use for the custom network, and 'MyPassword' with a password that is hard to guess. Press enter to create it and then type in the following text:

netsh wlan start hostednetwork
Press enter again to start it up.

3. Lastly, go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Centre > Change Adapter Settings, right click your internet connection and select Properties. Select the Sharing tab and then check 'Allow other network users to connect…' and pick the virtual Wi-Fi adapter name you just created

4. Connect your wireless devices to the ssid used in Step 2
