CREATE WIFI HOTSPOT USING CMD IN WINDOWS

you have no router ??????????

no problem.............

Today I am going to show you how to create your own wifi- hotspot using  windows command prompt...

so let's begin.......

note:- In this Tutorial i am using windows 8.1 but this method work on evey                    windows  operating system.

Step 1:-

             open the command prompt as administrator.In windows 8 and above you can do this by pressing "windows logo key+X" and select the command prompt(admin) as shown in below screenshot.

Step 2:-

           At first you have to check whether your wifi adapters supports hosted network mode or not?

 So type the  below command in command prompt

"netsh wlan show drivers"

If it is yes then you can create hotspot,otherwise you have to upgrade your wifi adapter or drivers.

step 3:-

in view of that your adapter has support for hosted network mode, type the below command in command prompt

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=wifi_network key=0123456789

ssid= name of wifi you want to create

key= your wifi password.

step 4:-

next type the command "netsh wlan show hostednetwork".

step 5:-

next type the command "netsh wlan start hostednetwork name of your wifi you already created" to start the hotspot and press enter.

 

for example:- netsh wlan start hostednetwork wifi_network

To stop the hotspot you just have to type stop instead of start in the above command.

That is " netsh wlan stop hostednetwork wifi_network"

IF YOU GET THE ERROR LIKE " THE HOSTED NETWORK COULD NOT BE STARTED OR YOUR PHONE CAN NOT CONNECT TO HOSTED NETWORK. I WILL TELL YOU HOW TO FIX THIS ERROR.

1.How to Fix " The Hosted Network Could Not be Started in windows

steps:-

1.  open "device manager" and click on "view"-->"show hidden device"

2.  move to "network adapters" and search to      "microsoft hosted network virtual adapter"

3. Right click on it and choose "Enable".

2. Your Phone Can Not Connect to Hosted Network. 

Seems like the IP address set on the computer is incorrect.

Please check the IP address set for the Wireless network adapter.

Steps:-

1. Type Command prompt in the Start menu and press enter.

2. In the Command prompt, type ipconfig /all and press enter.

3. This will show the IP address that is set to the ethernet cards. (Both wired and wireless)

4. If you see the address starting from 169.xxx.xxx.xxx, then you will not be able to connect to Internet or devices. In such cases, you need to manually set a static IP address for the wireless network adapter.

5. Type the following commands in command prompt to release and renew the IP address.

   ipconfig /release

   ipdonfig /renew

6. check if the computer is detected by the phone in wireless networks.

If the issue persists, then  set a manual IP address for wireless network.

1. Press Windows key and R key to open Run prompt.

2. Type ncpa.cpl and press enter.

3. Right click on the wireless network and click on properties.

4. Select IP4(Internet protocol version 4) and click on properties.

5. Place a check mark on "Use the following IP address"

6. Set a manual IP address. For example: 192.168.2.3 and the subnet 255.255.255.0

7. Press ok and close the Windows.

8. Check if the phone is able to view the computer through wireless connection.

Since hosted network is a temporary wireless connection, you may have to re-create it after every reboot.

Hope this information helps you.
