Create a WiFi hotspot on windows 7 laptop

Today in this post i am going to share a method to create wi-fi HotSpot on your windows 7 laptop. So Once you setup your laptop as HotSpot then you do not need a router, and you can easily connect all of your device with this newly created HotSpot.

What do I need to set a HotSpot:-

1. Laptop with Inbuilt Wi-Fi
2. Active Internet Connection

Once you have all the above things, process to the next steps.
Step 1:- Go to Control Panel> Network and Internet> Network and Sharing Center .
Step 2:- Click on “set a new connection or network”.
Step 3:- Choose the “Set up a wireless ad hoc network” and clink on next.
Step 4:- Now select the “WEP” Security type and enter the network name and security key(password) and also check on the “Save the settings” and click on next and save settings.

Now your HotSpot is created, to access internet on other devices share the internet with wi-fi. To share the internet open the “change adapter settings” page from the left side bar and right-click on the modem (In my case I am using the MTS Mblaze modem for the internet)of your internet connection and click on properties and then click on the sharing tab and allow the network users to connect through this internet connection.

Now you can easily connect all of your devices with the internet with your newly created hotspot.

      Hey Aditya, Some of Phone Manufacturers by default blocked the ad-hoc wireless signal.. search some online tutorials for manually enable.
