Now check you smart phone or tablet in which you can see a Wifi network name as mksWifi as in my case i have given this name.
Once the hosted network is enabled, you can see mksWifi connection listed in the network and sharing center. Now the network needs an internet connection and for this, you need to share the existing active Internet connection. Right click on your existing internet connection and select properties.
Now select the Sharing tab in properties. Check the box against “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s internet connection”. Then select the newly created Wi-fi connection from the drop down list. Now save the details and close the properties.
