Create WIFI Hotspot using Command Prompt

Happy weekend guys. I will be posting computer tricks every Saturdays or Sundays. For today, we will be looking on how to create WIFI hotspot using cmd (popularly known as command prompt). Hotspot allows multiple computer system to connect to a network.
Follow the steps below to create one: 

Step One: Run command prompt as Administrator and click YES to their agreement.

Step Two: Verify if your system support LAN or not by typing " netsh wlan show drivers " without quotes. 
Check for the output "Hosted network supported: Yes" means that your computer support LAN.
If the result is "YES"  then move further else download & install the latest wlan driver for your computer then continue.



Step Three: Type "cls" without quotes, that is a command prompt command to clear the cmd screen.
Step Four: Now  to create the hotspot network  type following code in cmd  : " netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Hotspotname   key=password "
You replace hotspotname with your desired ssid  and password with your password(at least 8 character) for the network and hit enter . for example we are creating our hosted network                    like this :
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=OMOTECHNIG  key=fulafian



Step Five: To start the hotspot just created. Type " netsh wlan start hostednetwork " and press enter.



Step Six: Now the hotspot created can be seen in every devices or computer. Connect and input password.

Step Seven: To check your hotspot status. Type " netsh wlan show hostednetwork " 

Step Eight: To stop the hotspot, type "netsh wlan stop hostednetwork"

 

Same thing goes if you want to start the hotspot, just follow step Five

In case  you can't access Internet make sure your LAN connection is sharable if not do this : 
    > > To share your Internet connection on this hotspot go to the Network and sharing center and click on Change adapter setting.
