Tap the hidden features of Windows 7 Set up your own Wi-Fi base station

  

If your Windows 7 system has an external network connection and there is a prescribed Wi-Fi device, you can turn it into a Wi-Fi base station with a simple command.

This feature seems to have been hidden, and has not been developed yet, it is estimated that the compatibility of the device and driver is not resolved, but we can test it out:

Admin Start the command line prompt and enter
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Hotspot key=passwordhere

Start the base station function with the following command
netsh wlan start hostednetwork

After running the command, you will see a "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" device in the network and sharing settings.

Setting up sharing in the Sharing tab will allow you to access the machine with a wireless device. The current functionality doesn't seem to be powerful.
