Hello Guys,
     
When we want to use the Internet in multiple electronic devices, we need router which can help to wifi hotspot from Lan Internet. Typically, using a router we can connect 5-6 multiple electronic devices to internet such as phones, tablets, and personal computers.

Nowadays every household has multiple electronic devices [at list multiple phones], which are connected to the internet through wifi hot-spot. But what if router stop working or someone moving to another place and does not have a router?

I will show you how we can turn our laptop or personal computer in a router[to create hotspot]. Even by connecting multiple laptops to that hotspot, Files such as documents, images, and videos can be shared.

First, make sure your Lan cable is connected with your laptop and the internet is working. And then open your command window as administrator. 

1) Write "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid=" your hotspot name" key=" password"  and press enter.[Text is shown in red, "ssid" will become your hotspot's name and "key" will be your password.]

2) Write "netsh wlan start hostednetwork" as shown in the below figure.

 Now your hotspot ready.



At this stage, a yellow mark that indicates, limited internet might be showing. Now to the sole, this problem follows the below steps which are very easy.

1) Open Control Panel.

2) Select Network And Internet.

3) Network and Sharing Center.

4) Select the network which you provide to others as shown in the figure.


5)  You get a Wi-Fi status window, So select Properties.

6)   Click on sharing, in internet connection sharing check the first check-box and in-home network connection select the new connection that you just created and then click the ok button!

Properties --> sharing --> allow other network users to connect through this computer's local network --> select the created network --> click on the Ok button!
