Create a WiFi Hotspot

 

6. Create a WiFi Hotspot

You can also use the Command Prompt to create a WiFi hotspot on your Windows PC, and share your internet connection with multiple devices, all without having to use any third-party apps whatsoever. To do this, just follow the steps below:

• Launch Command Prompt, and type “netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=HotspotName key=Password“. Replace “HotspotName” with the name that you want for your WiFi hotspot, and replace “Password” with the password you want to set. Hit enter.

• Next, type “netsh wlan start hostednetwork” and hit Enter, and your WiFi hotspot will be broadcast, and other devices will be able to connect to it.

Note: If you want to stop broadcasting your WiFi hotspot, simply use the command “netsh wlan stop hostednetwork”.
