Enable virtual WIFI shared Internet access on Windows 7 laptop

I read a post today. I tried using the wireless network card of my laptop to enable the virtual Wifi function to share the Internet. I tried it myself and felt very useful. At least I didn't have a wireless route, the mobile phone can be connected to wifi, update software, and so on. It's much more convenient. Well, I don't need to talk much about it. Let's introduce it first.

First, make sure that your laptop Nic supports the "enable bearer network" function. Run the cmd command as the administrator, and then tap the netsh wlan show drivers command to display the driver information of the wireless Nic, as shown in, if the function is "no", your wireless network adapter does not support this function. If it is "yes", continue to try this function with me. [Determine the method. You can also check the task manager, the "Driver Details" of the wireless network card, and whether the vwifibus. sys Driver file exists. You can also determine through this method]

 
 

After confirming that your wireless network adapter has this function, start virtaul wifi, similarly, the command line netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid = Windows7AP key = password (ssid is the name of the wireless connection in the future and password is the password [more than 8 bits ], you can set the ssid you are used to. In the future, you can search for a wireless network by using this name. Enter the password after the password and remember it clearly ). After the instance is started, you can view "Network Sharing Center"-"Change Adapter Settings". A "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" appears, and you can rename the network connection, of course, this has no impact on network connections. I renamed it to Virtual WiFi, mainly because it was too long before, haha.

Step 3. Enable Internet sharing. Choose "Network Sharing Center"> "Change adapter Settings" and click "in the left-side Navigation Pane". In the displayed dialog box, right-click the connection you are using to access the Internet, click the shared tab, select the first tab, such as, and click in the input box below. In the displayed list, select your Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter network connection. I just renamed it here, select Virtual WiFi and click OK.

 
 

Step 4. Open the wireless network and enter netsh wlan start hostednetwork in the command line. After the boot, you can search for the wireless network on your mobile phone. Haha, I have already used this method to access the Internet. If you only have one computer, you can access the Internet through a network cable, and you have other requirements, try it. Of course, this may cause an error because you have not enabled the wireless Nic. What if you do not enable the wireless Nic ?! Okay, no nonsense. I'm playing. Thank you ~
