How to Turn your Windows PC into Wifi Hotspot without using any tool

Step 1: First you need to open “Command Prompt”. You need to open the Command Prompt in “Administrator Mode”. Type in search cmd / right click cmd from results / Run as admin.

Step 2: After you open the Window, type the following command in your Command Prompt.
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Hotspot key=Password123
The “ssid” represents your “WiFi Hot Spot’s name” and the “Key” represents your “WiFi Password”. You can change them, incase you need.


Step 3: Next, enter the following command and press enter to start your virtual WiFi hotspot. It should show a message that “The hosted network started”.
netsh wlan start hostednetwork

Step 4: Now, go to Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Network Connections. There you will see the newly listed “Virtual Local Area Connection”.

Step 5: Go back to the “Network and Sharing Center” and click the “Ethernet” or whatever shows in the “Connections” section. A new window will pop-up, select “Properties” and go to “Sharing” tab on the top.

Step 6: Enable “Allow other users to connect through this computer’s Internet Connection” option on the top. In the drop down list below, select the newly listed “Virtual Local Area Connection”. Click “Ok” and you are good to go.

Now your Windows machine will act as a virtual router, to connect all your devices. This option will be very helpful when you have an ethernet connection or a USB Connection, you can easily share WiFi and connect your other devices using this method.
