How to open a WiFi hotspot for a Win7 system (hosted network)

There are a lot of tutorials on the web that take laptops as WiFi hotspots (hosting networks), and this article is a chore to use as a backup. These two commands are very useful when traveling to a hotel.

The code is as follows	Copy Code

Only two commands, the SSID is the network name, key is the password. After you enter the above command, a virtual network card with Microsoft virtual WiFi miniport Adapter is added.

After you enter the command, then find the network card (usually local connection, is usually our wired connection of that net card), right-click the property--> share, in the "Allow other network users through the Internet connection to this computer to link" before tick, and then select the new virtual network card.
