Creating a Wi-Fi Hotspot in Windows 10

In this post i will show you that how to create a wireless Hotspot in window10 and how to share this connection with other devices. That means if you are using broadband connection or using 3G,4G dongle on your computer then you can share that internet with your smartphone, tablet, laptops etc.

Step 01 : Launch CMD with administrative privileges
Right click on window button left bottom corner and click Command Promt (Admin) option as showing in below image.


Step 02 : Checking required hardware availability :

Before creating WI-FI hotspot we need to check whether wi-fi hostspot is supported by machine or not . To verify this run the following command on command prompt :
       netsh wlan show drivers
If you getting details something like below in image that means your system is supporting wi-fi hotspot.



Step 03 : Create and start connection:

Run the command to create connection :
"netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=connectionName key=8charpassowrd
 This command will just create the connection and to start this connection need to run this command .

Run command to start connection:
"netsh wlan start hostednetwork"
If everything is fine you will the success message as in below image.


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.


Now you can see Internet available on the new Hotspot connection created.


In case you want to stop the hosted network, use this command.
netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
