    If you used Windows 7 or Windows XP, you know that these operating systems allow you to create adhoc wireless connections between computers. You could use those connections to create a wirelessnetwork between multiple computers or to share the Internet connection that was available on one ofthem. If you use Windows 8.1 or if you just migrated to Windows 10, then you might have noticed that

    this can no longer be done, at least not using a visual interface. However, with the help of the Command Promptand a few commands, you too can turn your Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 laptop or hybrid device into a WiFiaccess point. Here's how:

    What You Need In Order For This To Work

    To use your Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 laptop or hybrid device as an WiFi access point for other devices, itmust have at least 2 network cards installed and one of them must be a wireless network card. One of themmust be connected to the Internet.

    We've tested multiple scenarios, and the ones that worked great include:

    One laptop using its Ethernet connection for Internet access and its WiFi adapter to broadcast use anetwork cable to connect your laptop to the Internet and the wireless network card for the access pointthat's sharing the Internet access with other devices.One laptop that is connected to the Internet through a mobile USB modem and broadcasts the wirelessnetwork through its WiFi adapter many users will have a USB mobile modem available with 3G or 4Gconnectivity. They can use it for Internet access and use the wireless network adapter for creating theaccess point and sharing the Internet access with others.One laptop and two wireless network adapters, one connected to the Internet and the other acting as anaccess point you won't find this situation too often, as laptops and hybrid devices don't come with twowireless network cards installed. However, you can install a wireless USB adapter and use it to create theaccess point.

    How To Turn Your Windows 8.1 Or Windows 10 DeviceInto A WiFi Access Point

  • Step 1. Create A Virtual WiFi Network

    To begin, we'll need to open Command Prompt with administrative privileges and use a command to create avirtual wireless network that is broadcasted by your device.

    To show you how this is done, we will create a wireless network called Hotspot. The password for this networkwill be "7Tutorials".

    Inside the Command Prompt window, type the following command:

    netshwlansethostednetworkmode=allowssid=Hotspotkey=7Tutorials

    Notice that the name of the network is set using the SSID parameter and the password is set using the KEYparameter. Obviously, you can set your own values for them.

    To create the access point, press Enter. If all goes well, you should see that the hosted network has been set.

    Now you have created a virtual adapter that can function as a wireless access point for other computers anddevices in your area. However, in order for it to work, you need to take one more step: turn this virtual adapteron.

    Do not close the Command Prompt. Keep it open and enter the following command:

    netshwlanstarthostednetwork

  • Then, press Enter.

    The virtual wireless adapter is now started and shown in the Network and Sharing Center.

    You can connect all your devices to the newly created wireless network. However, it has no Internet access. Ifyou stop at this point, when you connect other devices and computers to the newly created access point, youcan create a network between them and use it to share files and resources, but they won't have any Internetaccess.

    Step 2. Allow Internet Access For The Devices That Are Connected To TheVirtual WiFi Network

    Open the Network and Sharing Center. Notice that the virtual network adapter you just created is displayed asactive, but it has no Internet access at this time.

    http://www.7tutorials.com/what-network-and-sharing-center
  • Click or tap the connection of the physical network adapter that currently has Internet access. In our case, it is anEthernet connection.

    This opens the Status window for the selected network adapter. Click or tap Properties.

    In the Properties window, go to the Sharing tab.

  • In order to give others Internet access to the virtual WiFi adapter that we created earlier, check the box near"Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection".

    Then, select the virtual adapter that was created earlier.

  • Click or tap OK and Close to save the settings you've made.

    Go back to the Network and Sharing Center and you will notice that the virtual network adapter now has Internetaccess.

    The virtual adapter now gives Internet access to all the devices that are connected to it.

    Step 3. Connect Your Wireless Devices To The Access Point

    The next step is to connect your wireless devices to the virtual WiFi access point and use them to access theInternet. Also, the devices that are connected to your laptop or hybrid PC, are placed in the same network withthe access point. You can use that network to share files and folders between devices.

    The Fast Way Of Turning Your Windows 8.1 Or Windows 10 Device Into AWiFi Access Point

    In order to help you, we searched for a way to automate as much as possible the procedure described above.

    http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=ChxtYulyJVbi9KYmb3AGY34G4DuD98NIHiMeA_44C2tkeEAEgu_PCB2CZ8c-BhAWgAbD51MsDyAECqQKO8avj_jQbPuACAKgDAcgDmQSqBMUBT9CgzfbS6VpPeeyS2bedTpxdAu1swqQwPV0NUUEPOwmNhpUDOzoF_BO726_4j1mTz4Jn1dhgiJuGou1-GEMwXRMhQMZ_G30PLKyx1bS50UqSlrT5tkcpgNLJwjJPeg5p22Gz9KSNb1AErZqFNxOKnP1iNnUtaX1iJ6BFyucEpEdGEqimb_E6XckA5X_QxoBaoAPT0j0wmjywbCo1XHkh5m2cN_5EQEQgbp5vNV3NwmrCFHcg80HcBlQ5WVNGdcnCGq_BiDjgBAGIBgGgBgKAB7iGqzSoB6a-G9gHAQ&num=1&cid=5GgnzsB7h_PkXEaNuggbSzn8&sig=AOD64_2SHaR4UFCTpRLrwCZyr4odvA58nA&client=ca-pub-4636325249148529&adurl=http://www.colloky.cl
  • That is why we created a program that would make things as simple as possible.

    We've created a custom executable file, available for you to download. Its name is WiFiAccessPoint.EXE and it'sincluded in an archive that you have to extract manually, after downloading it. Look for the wifiaccesspoint.ziparchive file at the end of this article, download it and extract the executable inside.

    The file is small, only 163KB in size. When you run it, it is possible that the SmartScreen Filter will be triggeredsaying that our file might put your PC at risk. That is not true. Click or tap on More Info and Run Anyway. Then, aUAC prompt will be displayed, because this program requires administrative permissions. Click or tap Yes to runit.

    Our file uses both the Command Prompt and PowerShell in order to run and do its thing. After it starts, a windowis displayed, in which you can enter the details of the wireless access point that you want to create. Also, you canchoose whether you want it enabled each time you start Windows. When you are done, you should seesomething similar to the screenshot below:

    http://www.7tutorials.com/what-smartscreen-filter-how-does-it-work
  • Our program has a limitation though: it's not possible to automatically set the Internet connection sharingbetween the network adapters. Accordingly, the program will notify you that you have to perform this stepmanually. The first time you set things, you have to manually share your working Internet connection with theone created by our program. However, from there on, you won't have to share it again, as Windows willremember your initial settings.

    The Fast Way Of Turning Off And Uninstalling The WiFi Access Point

    WiFiAccessPoint, the small program which you can download and run in order to transform your device into awireless hotspot, also gives you a choice to turn off and/or disable the automatic startup of the wireless hotspotfeature. When asked if you want to stop and uninstall your hotspot, all you have to do is answer No, by typing inthe letter N.

  • We hope that this little tool will come in handy for you!

    Conclusion

    As you can see, with the help of a few clicks/taps and commands, you can create a virtual wireless connection inWindows 8.1 or Windows 10. Try it out for yourself and let us know how well it worked for you. Also, do youknow of other ways to create a wireless network connection between Windows devices?

    Hi, I had the same problem with the command saying "The hosted network couldn't be started. The groupor resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation"But I can't find the local area connection adapter in my device manage, neither under network connections

    I accidentally disabled the local area connection adapter before, is that why i can't start internet sharing?

    I am at the part where you enter "netsh wlan start hostednetwork".

    I'm getting the message "The hosted network couldn't be started. A device attached to the system is notfunctioning".I also enabled my Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter but I am still getting the message above.

    Your help is kindly appreciated.reply

    Sorry, but your network adapter doesn't support hosted networks. Look at the line: "Hosted networksupported : No"

    Check 3 things:1. Do you have a proxy set up on your smartphone? If yes, remove it.2. Check the firewall on your computer. Try disabling it and try the connection again.3. Make sure the IPs of all your devices are set to auto.
