Win7 easily turned into a Wi-Fi base station with a simple step

How to turn Windows 7 computer into a Wifi base station? In the system home qq group saw a netizen's help, so Xiaobian consulted a professional, professional People feel that using these two softwares (Bzeek and Virtual Router) can implement Wifi base stations (hotspots). But if your Windows 7 system has an external network connection and there is a prescribed Wi-Fi device, the method is much simpler, and it can be turned 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:

Step /Method

Start the command prompt in admin mode and enter

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Hotspot key=passwordhere

Start the base station function with the following command < Br>

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

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

Setting up sharing in the Sharing tab is complete, after which you can access the machine with a wireless device, and the current functionality doesn't seem to be powerful.

Currently supported devices are:

Atheros AR5005GS (as in the TP-Link TL-WN651G)

Atheros AR5007EG with 8.0.0.238 firmware

Broadcom 4310-series (in many Dell laptops)

D-link AirPlus G DWL-G510 Wireless PCI Adapter (driver version 3.0.1.0)

Intel 5100/5300 (with latest drivers from Intel's Site, version 13.0.0.107, 64bit systems only)

Ralink RT2870 (in many 802.11n USB dongles)

Realtek RTL8187SE (with the drivers that came with Windows 7)
