1. Because the steps in this tutorial must be run under administrator privileges, you need to run the command prompt as an administrator.
The first method: we are from the start menu —>all programs—> Find the “command prompt”, or type cmd to search quickly, right click on it, select “run as administrator", in the pop-up user control window, click “yes".
The second method: Another way is to hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys and click the shortcut directly, which is even simpler.
2. Next we need to: enable and set the "Virtual Wifi NIC" mode
Run the following command to enable the virtual wireless network card (equivalent to open the router):
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode =allow ssid=”xp510” key=xp510.com
There are three parameters in this command:
Mode: Whether to enable the virtual Wifi NIC, disable to disallow, the virtual NIC will disappear.
Ssid: Specify the name of the wireless network, preferably in English.
Key: Specify the password for the wireless network. This password is used for secure WPA2 encryption of the wireless network, which can prevent the network from being blocked.
The above three parameters can be used separately. For example, only mode=disallow can be used to directly disable the virtual Wifi NIC.
3. Enable “Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)” function is mainly to share the connected Internet with other computers or devices
a, from the start menu —> control panel to play — >Network and Internet—>Network and Sharing Center—> Steps to Open Adapter Settings Open “Network Connections
b, right click on the network connection connected to the Internet, select <;Properties", switch to the "Share” tab, check the box in it, and select the network connection that allows it to share the Internet. Here is our virtual Wifi NIC: After confirming, provide the shared NIC icon next to The “Shared” flag will appear, indicating “Internet Connection Sharing” is opened to the virtual wireless network card:
4. Turn on the wireless network
Continue to run the following command at the command prompt: Br>netsh wlan start hostednetwork
You can open the wireless network that we set up before (equivalent to open the wireless function of the router. Similarly, turn start to stop to close the wireless network).
It can be seen that the virtual wireless network card has already opened the wireless network we have designated, and its IP address and other attributes are allocated by the "Internet Connection Sharing" service, so it is special:
Everything is ready Ready, in the end, just connect to the wireless network on a computer or mobile phone that needs to be connected to the Internet.
Fortunately, as long as the wireless network card driver of the "Windows7 Logo Certification" is supported by this mode, we can directly find whether to bring the logo when purchasing the wireless network card. If the virtual wireless network card does not appear in the network connection after running the mode=allow command, the real network card does not support this function. You can upgrade your NIC driver to the latest Windows 7 version.
In addition to using the command to set the virtual WIFI function, Microsoft also revealed its programming interface, which provides the possibility to develop a graphical setup program. For example, the free small software Connectify can intuitively set the virtual Wifi function.
