Make your laptop/PC Wi-Fi hotspot

Many of us would like to ease the data connectivity in our house by setting up Wi-Fi.

But you may need a Wi-Fi router to do so which may cost around a 1000 INR.

But now you can easily set up Wi-Fi hotspot without any router or any Wi-Fi enabled modem.

For this your laptop/PC must contain 2 data cards .

And then just follow the next few steps.

1. Open Command Prompt in Administrator mode.

2. Type the following command in the command prompt:
               
                     netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Nightsurfer key=12345678

And press Enter.

*Note: Here Nightsurfer is the name of the hotspot and 12345678 is the password.

3. Now type this next command:

                netsh wlan start hostednetwork

And press Enter.


4. Now go to Network and Sharing Center.

  Click on the BLUE colored link of the connection whose data would be used over Wi-Fi.

5.Go to Properties and then click over to Sharing column.

6.Click the checkbox on allow other network... connection.

7.Choose the same name from the dropbox which was in BLUE COLOR.


Then the hotspot Access type would show Internet.

Now you can use internet on your mobiles or tablets through Wi-Fi.

This process works best for Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

If any problem occurs feel free to ask in the comment section.
And also tell if this worked for you and if you liked it or not.
