INTRODUCTION

To enable wifi hotspot in any computers, will be a great success when you use broadband connections.

I should say that,the method which iam describing is very useful and it only take upto 1or2 minutes.Trust Me.For this you should have a working internet connection and windows8/8.1 os.This can also be done in windows7,xp,etc..but here im only giving the instructions for which i had mentioned above.

1. First you should have installed your wifi drivers.You can check it in your device manager.
2. For that you go to control panel>device manager>network adapters.There you will see wifi drivers.
3. So now you are in to the proccess

STEPS

• FIRST AND FOREMOST YOU SHOULD CHECK THAT YOUR PC HAS THE ABILITY TO ENABLE WIFI HOTSPOT

For that you should open your command prompt to have a check.So in the search box type cmd.You will see the command prompt and to use it as administrator you just hold the CONTROL and SHIFT key and press enter.so you will see it as the way in the image seen below.

Now type 'netsh wlan show drivers' and press enter.it is seen below.

After hitting enter you will see an image as seen below and make sure that it it say> 'hosted network supported-YES' it can be seen from the image below.if it says no,then you cannot make hotspot.if it says yes then you are ok and you are in the game :).

now after completing this step you type>netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=yourssid key=your password it can be seen from the image.

NOW YOU ARE FREE TO GO
if your system shows like this then follow this command>"netsh wlan start hosted network".thats it and you will see that the hostednetwork started.

so your hotspot is created successfully.
it can be seen in the network sharing centre.

AFTER THIS you should share your internet.for that take your ethernet properties and click share.
so now you will get the required wifi from your laptops

ERRORS

• may be after you type command 'netsh wlan start hosted network' it may say that something like-The hosted network couldn’t be started .

The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation .this is because  your virtual adapter is disabled,so you should enable it.For enabling it you should open device manager and click show hidden.so you will see this driver after going through network adapters.then repeat the process.

• may be after you type command 'netsh wlan start hosted network' it may say that something like-“The wireless local area network interface is powered down and doesn’t support the requested operation.”This is because you just did not turn the wifi ON.so turn your wifi on before doing this.
•  Check  the status of the hosted shared connection that 'IPV4 shows INTERNET.if its ok then you are done with it.if its not then just disable and enable the ethernet connection.
