 Doing anything without the  is almost incomplete, considering thhe wide spread of internet and technology as a whole. But it can be so frustrating when you have to subscribe for different data plans on all your gadgets just because you can’t afford to get a router.

recently i posted a tutorial on how to CREATE WIFI HOTSPOT ON WINDOWS WITH SOFTWARE. Today I will be sharing with you how to create a wifi hotspot on pc with command prompt. (CMD)

CREATING WIFI HOTSPOT WITH COMMAND PROMPT:

This method has been tested on windows 7, 8 and 8.1 have not been able to test it on windows xp but am not sure it works on that os. If you have a windows xp installed on your pc you can just give it a shot.

1^st step: = CHECK IF THE METHOD IS COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR WIFI ADAPTER:

1.       Open your command prompt in administrative mode.

2.       type this command = netsh wlan show drivers

3.       Under the hosted network supported, if you see yes then your wifi adapter is compatible.

4.       Keep the command prompt open as it will still be needed.

5.       If you get “no” that means it is not compatible with your wifi adapter. you have to use this method.

2^nd step: = CREATE WIFI HOTSPOT NETWORK:

1.       Type this command = netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=www.yomitech.com key=yomitech

2.       Strike the ENTER key. And you should see something similar to the screenshot below.

* In the example above,

==> The SSID is www.yomitech.com

==> The password is yomitech

To use your own desired SSID and password just edit the command before you strike the enter key.

3^rd step: = STARTING THE CREATED WIFI HOTSPOT CONNECTION:

After creating the wifi network, the next thing is to start it up.

1.       To start the connection, type this command netsh wlan start hostednetwork

2.       Strike the enter key and you should see something similar to the screenshot below. 

3.       Now you can close the command prompt.

4^th step: = CONFIGURING AND SHARING THE CREATED NETWORK:

1.       Open the control panel.

2.       Clikck on the view by: drop down menu and select small icons.

3.       Click on network and sharing centre.

4.       On the top left corner of your screen, click on change adapter settings.

5.       The name of the created hotspot will always start with Local Area Network* in the image below, the name of the created network is Local Area Network* 22.

6.       Now choose the network connection you are currently using (in my case am using Broadband) right click on it and select properties. 

 

7.       Click on the sharing tab, click on the drop down menu under Home Networking connection and select Local Area Network.

8.       Click on ok and that’s all.

Now you have just successfully created a wifi hotspot and also shared your connection.
