How to make wifi hotspot in Windows
7/8 without using software
Let me tell why I decided to write this article. Couple of days before I brought a new Apple iPad 4 16GB
wifi. I am having a broadband connection in my office and my iPad was useless without a wifi network. So
I decided to use it on my selfhosted wifi network and its working.
Nowadays all the devices have wifi. So its great way to share internet if your laptop has got an internet
connection. How do we share? The answer is simple. By making you pc turn into a wifi hotspot. WiFi
hotspot makes your pc behave like a wifi router. All the devices around you can use the internet by
connecting to wifi network you created earlier on your pc. Follow the steps below to turn your windows 8
laptop into a wifi hotspot. The methods mentioned below have been tested with windows 8. If you have
any issues about windows 7, ask them in comments section. We are not using any software to create a wifi
hotspot. All we will do is fire some commands in command prompt.
Steps to make Windows 8 wifi hotspot:

Type the command below in cmd
In this command replace brainytuts to name you want to give to wifi network
