Install an ad hoc wireless hotspot on Windows 10

You can if you want to make a computer with Windows 10 behave like a wireless hotspot. It's not difficult as long as your pc has a wireless network card.

wnet 3 hotspot

You should use the Wireless Hosted Network feature. Wireless Hosted Network is a WLAN feature supported in Windows 10. Let's see how.

Start by opening it commands as administrator. Before setting up Hosted Network, you need to make sure that your Wi-Fi network card meets the requirements to support it. It should have the correct drivers installed to enable this feature. To see if it does or not type the following in the command line:

netsh wlan show drivers

wnet 4 hotspot

Notice the string "Hosted network supported". It must say "Yes". Otherwise, you are unlucky because the wireless card drivers you purchased do not support Hosted Network.

To configure Hosted Network, type the following command at the command prompt:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid = "OPOIO_NETWORK_NAME_THELETE" key = "YOUR_PASSWORD"

With this command you created one Hotspot. So simple. On our own computer we blessed our beards and made it: ssid = ”iguru” with key = ”passpass” (we know that the password is outrageously ridiculous, we only did it for example)

Now, it should start us. For this purpose type the following command:

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

wnet 2

That's it !. If you scan your available Wi-Fi networks from another device, your hotspot network will be displayed and you will be able to connect to it.

If you want to stop your network, just use this command:

netsh wlan stop hostednetwork

Note that your network is not permanent and will disappear after a reboot and until you start it again. However, from pre, το αποθηκευμένο όνομα δικτύου (ssid) και το password θα είναι μόνιμο. Έτσι, τη στιγμή που έχετε το δημιουργήσει, το μόνο που θα έχετε να κάνετε θα είναι οι to start and stop.

You can get detailed information about the network you created with this command:

netsh wlan show hostednetwork

wnet 1

That's it.

Although Microsoft has removed the feature and following the best practices wireless networking from modern versions of Windows, this simple trick can make up for the missing feature for anyone who needs to quickly wireless devices.
