How i create a hot spot for mobile phones?

[fits79]

Hi i have the "Broadcom BCM43142 802.11b/g/n Wireless Network Adapter"

How i can create a hot spot from my lan cable internet i have at my laptop to wifi and make it hotspot so i can connect with my android mobile phone to internet.

Is that possible?

Yes, it's possible and I'll show you how I personally do it.

First we need to run some commands to establish the hotspot. So take the following code and paste it into a text document. Now rename the text document from a .txt extension to a .bat file extension. This only works if you have "show file extensions" turned on in the Folder Options in the Windows Control Panel. So if that's not turned on do that first.

@echo off
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=your network name here key=your wifi password here
timeout 3
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
exit

Where it says ssid= is where you put the name if your network you want created.

Where it says key= is where you put this new Wi-Fi network's password.


Now after you run the batch file by double clicking on the .bat file you saved you need to go into your Network Adapters in the Windows Control Panel and right click the LAN cable adapter and select "share" and chose the Broadcom Wi-Fi adapter to share with. So, you're sharing the LAN adapter to the Wi-Fi adapter.

That's it. Hopefully when done you'll have a hotspot to connect to from your computer's Wi-Fi adapter.

To tear all this down you first unshare the LAN adapter with the Wi-Fi Broadcom adapter and simply reboot the computer.

Notes:

SSID means: Service Set Identifier. It's the fancy name for the Wi-Fi network name.

As an example. If you wanted the network name to be "Guest" and the password "1234."

@echo off
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Guest key=1234
timeout 3
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
exit

In Windows 10 there is a one click button to do this...

It partiatly work.

And i mean.
Doesn't accept the password neither the ssid name.
As ssid name is the name of the workgroup i have at my laptop and NOT this i was put at this .bat file.

Here is what i write.

@echo off
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Grigoris laptop hotspot key=12345678
timeout 10
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
exit

I even try this, and still doesn't work.


Isn't there any gui way to make that?
