Win8 notebooks do wireless hotspots, all WiFi devices share network connections

Everyone knows that without a wireless WIFI device, Win7 can create a wireless temporary network to achieve network sharing, so that WiFi devices can connect to the network through a laptop. So in the Win8 system has actually canceled the wireless temporary network (ad-hoc) function, this function of single virtual WiFi is still there, below we will introduce how to create WiFi hotspot sharing under Win8.

Operation steps:

Set as follows:

1. Right-click in the lower left corner of the desktop and select Command Commander (Admin);

2. Enable and set the virtual WiFi network card;

Run the command:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=cai key=12345678

This command has three parameters,

mode: Whether to enable the virtual WiFi network card, disable to disallow.

ssid: The name of the wireless network, preferably in English (taking cai as an example).

key: wireless network password, more than eight characters (take 12345678 as an example).

The above three parameters can be used separately,

For example, only use mode=disallow to disable the virtual Wifi card directly.

As shown in the figure:

After the connection is successful, one more network card will be connected to the wireless connection 2 or Wi-Fi 2 of the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter. If not, just update the wireless network card driver.

3. Set up Internet Connection Sharing: In the "Network Connections" window, right-click on the network connection that is connected to the Internet, select “Properties”→“Share”, check “Allow other ······connect(N)” and select “Wi-Fi 2”.

4. Turn on the wireless network: continue to run at the command prompt: netsh wlan start hostednetwork

(turn start to stop to turn off the wireless network, then enable the wireless after booting The network only needs to run this command again.)

At this point, the red cross of Wi-Fi 2 disappears, the WiFi hotspot has been set up, and the host is set. Other devices with WiFi modules can search for wireless network cai, enter the password 12345678, and share the Internet!

The WLAN transmitted by the virtual wireless AP is 802.11g standard with a bandwidth of 54Mbps.
