Hi friends this is my latest post on windows and this is about
turning your windows 8 computer into a WiFi hotspot. Basically a WiFi
hotspot can share the internet connection from it to various other
devices like handheld devices, laptops and personal computers. There
used to be a method to convert windows PC
into hotspot but which would look complicated and at the end of the day
you have to depend on the software such as connectify which would
hardly work for someone. But windows 8 is not going to be a troublesome
as is very versatile and has already built in configuration to turn it
into a hotspot. All we have to do is just giving it a little push. Let’s
start.
1) Open up your network and sharing center from the control panel.
2) We are about to share your incoming network connection and so click on the active connection and select properties.
3) Move on to the sharing tab and click on the check box next to “Allow other networks to connect…”
Windows 8 into Hotspot in Just 2 minutes
This tutorial that I’m gonna let know is very simple and completely makes your work 100 times faster. Let me start with the procedure without wasting any more time for the introduction.1) Open up your network and sharing center from the control panel.
2) We are about to share your incoming network connection and so click on the active connection and select properties.
3) Move on to the sharing tab and click on the check box next to “Allow other networks to connect…”
4) We are half done here. Now open your command prompt in admin mode. If you aren’t aware of opening it in admin mode then hit the windows key and type in CMD. Right click on the CMD and windows will provide you an option to run it as administrator.
5) Once you are inside CMD type in the following command
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=username key=password
6) Replace the username and password with your desired values.
7) Finally type in the following command to start the network
netsh wlan start hostednetwork Also Read : Improve Performance Of Windows 8
8) The above code triggers the network to share the incoming connection from your computer. Anyone can access your network now just by connecting to your shared network.
9) Remember to turn on your WiFi else you might end up with some errors.To turn of the network execute the code netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
10) I’m attaching a screenshot of the command prompt window here for your easy reference.
