How To Make Your Own WiFi Hotspot Without Any Software

What Is A WiFi Hotspot?

Sharing internet through one device by making it a hotspot to available for all the wifi enabled device. Which device shares internet is called wifi hotspot, it means it is the source of internet access for other devices.

All we know that it is very easy to make a wifi hotspot in an android device. It is inbuilt feature in Android O.S. But what for a Windows PC? Yes, we can do it with the many softwares available in the Internet and market, but you want to do it yourself without any software?

Then, here we go:

First of all, Run Command Prompt as an administrator.

Type netsh wlan show drivers

If you see, Network Hosted Supported : Yes
Then, It is good to go.

Type command, 
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=NameOfwifiHotspot key=yourpassword
where, NameOfwifiHotspot is your Wifi Hotspot Name, which you want to create & yourpassword is your Password for Wifi Hotspot.









This command will make the Wifi Hotspot with above information.

Now type below command to start this Wifi Hotspot.
netsh wlan start hostednetwork

But, It is not completed yet.

We have no internet access.  For this we would need to share internet access from an active connection to it.

For this , Open Control Panel and go to network and sharing center.
On the left hand side ,select  CHANGE ADAPTER SETTING


Right click in the adapter which is Internet Source for you.

Click on the Properties

Click on Sharing tab.

Check the first box written with "Allow other user to connect through..........."
Select your apater name which is using Microsoft Virtual Adapter and will be with your Wifi Hotspot name.(Can be checked in adapter setting)




Keep other things same. Click on OK.

Hurrah....! You are done.
