The HostedNetworkStarter enables you to turn any Windows PC into a WiFi hotspot. This way, other devices will be able to use the Internet connection that your computer is using.
The portable program (portable, that is, for those who do not know, does not need to install) uses the wireless capability hosted by the Windows operating system and which Microsoft introduced for the first time from Windows 7.
The feature allows Windows users to create virtual wireless network adapters (Virtual Wi-Fi), και σημεία ασύρματης πρόσβασης που βασίζονται σε λογισμικό.
The two main scenarios for enabling a wireless network hosted on a device are network connection sharing and personal wireless network or Personal Area Network (wireless PAN).
Today you can start and stop a wireless network from line commands using the netsh wlan start hostednetwork command provided that the Windows system supports all the requirements.
With Nirsoft's HostedNetworkStarter, things get much simpler as it offers you a gui.
Just download the application and unzip it to your system. Run the application by double-clicking on .exe and fill in the boxes to get your own Wi-Fi hotspot.
