Create Wi-Fi hotspot in windows 7/8/8.1 without using any software.

Create Wi-Fi hotspot in windows 7/8/8.1 without using any software.

Method : Using .BAT file:
Windows .bat files are best ways to automatically execute commands, so you need not bother about executing them in command prompt again. You can learn how to create a .bat file here. Follow these steps to run your own hot-spot in your computer:

  1. Open notepad.
  2. Type in the following commands: (without quotes)
  • "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=NAME key=PASSWORD" 
  • "netsh wlan start hostednetwork"
  • "pause"

     3. Note: In the first command ssid is your wifi name and key is password required to connect to your           wifi. So you can replace the NAME and PASSWORD to that of your choice. Password must be               at least 8 characters.
     4. Save it as .bat file. (example: wifi.bat)
     5. Right click the saved file and run as administrator.


 (NOTE: if you get an error like "The hosted network couldn't be started. The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform requested operation." , then follow here)

     6. Open Control Panel and move to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center.
     7. Click on "Change Adapter Settings".
     8. You will see an adapter saying "Local Arean Connection* 15". Instead of 15 it can be any other                    number. You need not worry about that. This is the hotspot you just created. Now you need to share            your ethernet connection for this hotspot. 
     9. Right click on "Ethernet". Go to "properties" and click on "sharing" tab. 
     10. Check the first option and select that Local Area Connection *15.

Now, you have successfully created a hotspot without using any software. You can connect your mobile and explore the internet.
