Shortcut Key win + R → Enter cmd → press ENTER

2. Enable and set the virtual WiFi NIC:

Run the command: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid = wuminPC key = wuminWiFi

This command has three parameters: mode: whether to enable the virtual Wi-Fi network card. If it is changed to disallow, It is disabled.

Ssid: the name of the wireless network. It is best to use English (take wuminPC as an example ).

Key: wireless network password, which consists of more than eight characters (wuminWiFi is used as an example ).

The preceding three parameters can be used independently. For example, you can disable a virtual Wi-Fi network card by using mode = disallow only.
After it is enabled, a wireless connection 2 with the network Adapter "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" will be displayed in the network connection. For convenience, rename it Virtual WiFi. If no, you only need to update the wireless NIC Driver.
