Enabling or creating Wi-Fi hotspot in window 8 is really a hard option if you are a gui user and find it
hard to play with the core windows options. In windows seven there was an option to create the Wi-Fi
hotspot but its not the case with the Windows 8. In Windows 8 you will need cmd to create a hotspot.
Later you will share your laptop internet connection with the hotspot through the windows Network and
sharing center.

Below is the step by step guide to create and share your laptop internet connection with other wifi
devices.
A Working Internet Connection (Either Dial Up Connection or Else Lan Internet Connection)
A Built In or External Wifi adapter which supports the sharing ability for internet connection
A laptop surely and a brain!
Lets find out that whether your wifi card supports sharing or not for this go to search and open up CMD
in the administrator mod. For opening CMD in administrator mode you need to right click it and then
open the cmd in Administrator Mode.
After you have opened cmd write the following command and look for the thing mentioned in the
screen shot that whether its written yes or no. It its yes then you can go on It means that you can
enable the hotspot and can share your internet connection.
Command to Check Sharing Compatib i l i ty of wif i network for windows 8:
netsh wlan show drivers
Now find the following , hope so that you will find a yes!
Dont close the cmd as you are going to use cmd again. Following is the command line to create the
hotspot, set the password and name it as you want too.
Things which You Will need to share your internet with other Wi-Fi
Devices:
F inding out: that whether your Wi-F i card supports sharing:
Creating The Wi-Fi Hotspot:
08/10/2013 Creating Wi-Fi HotSpot in Windows 8 - Share Laptop Internet Connection | Talk Of Web
www.talkofweb.com/creating-wi-fi-hotspot-in-windows-8-share-laptop-internet-connection/ 3/30
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=nameOfwifiHotspot key=yourpassword
The above is the command to create the hotspot. Replace nameOfwifiHotspot with the desired network
name and replace yourpassword with the desired password which will be used by the others to
connect to the hotspot.
Press the enter and hotspot will be created.
Now you need to start the hotspot, again you are going to need the cmd and the cmd must run in the
administrator mode. Write the following command in the cmd to start the above created hotspot.
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
Press enter and the hotspot will be created and will be discoverable by the other devices as well.
All Right, everything has been done and now you only need to give your laptops internet connections
access to the created hotspot, so that any user connected to the hotspot will have the internet access
also. For this reason you will need to open the windows networking and sharing center.
Starting the Wi-Fi Created Hotspot in Windows 8:
Sharing the working internet connection with the windows 8 Wi-Fi
hotspot:
08/10/2013 Creating Wi-Fi HotSpot in Windows 8 - Share Laptop Internet Connection | Talk Of Web
www.talkofweb.com/creating-wi-fi-hotspot-in-windows-8-share-laptop-internet-connection/ 4/30
Open up the network and sharing center, and then go to Change adapter settings on the top left pane.
Click that to open. Here you will see your created hotspot connection plus the connection which you
want to be shared with the hotspot for the internet sharing. The created hotspot connection has the
star with the name. You need to open the properties of the connection which you want to be shared
with the hotspot.
Right click and open the properties of the connection which has the internet access and is the original
internet connection of the laptop, whether its a dialup, local area network or anything like that. Go to
the sharing tab in the properties and then tick the Allow other network users to connect through this
pc internet connection and in the drop down below, select the hotspot connection which is Local Area
connection *21 in my case and then hit ok. Re-dial the connection or else reconnect the internet
connection if needed.
That was it and you are done, the password to connect with the hotspot is the same which you used
while setting up hotspot in the cmd. If you cant still share the internet then reason are that firewall or
an antivirus is causing the problem, try disabling the firewall if you trust the person with whom you are
sharing the hotspot or else try adding an exception int he firewall or antivirus.
After receiving a lot of error reporting in the below comments of this post, I have written an article on
how can you resolve errors which retain your from creating a successfull internet connection shared
wifi hotspot on windows 8 or windows 7, read detailed guide:

Go to your network and sharing center and there open up Change adapter settings just
after you run the command netsh start wlan hostednetwork and there, you will see your
hotspot connection with a star * that is what I called created hotspot connectionand the other
connection will be your own internet connection adapter. Hope this makes sense now!

because sometimes after restart its stays sometimes not. Maybe it would be possible to do
something more to make hotspot permanent?

I wasnt able to figure it out that how one can make it permanent, I know after restart it
vanishes and you need to again create a new hotspot, it was an option in windows 7 to make it
permanent. Ill figure it out and will post solution soon if I find one. Thank You for dropping by!

Without any details I cant help you solve the problem, since the same way worked for me
and a lot of users out there, You main connection turns to limited one, are you using any
static ips or anything like that? I mean do you specify ip for your lan connection? and are
you at lan?

Have you used the command netsh wlan start hostednetwork because that will be used to
start your hotspot. But as you have stated that you have shared your regular internet
connection with your created hotspot then means you have started the network. Ok, try to
disable your antivirus in some cases antivirus blocks the new connection from broadcasting.

Dear friends,
I have tried everything more than one way and still dont get the internet connection. Sometimes, I
get errors unable to set connection or something like that. When I go to share, it refuses to allow
other network users to connect. I cant get it started. this problem makes me raise another
questions.
how many versions of windows 8 used in the market and which ones work and which gives you
errors?
I really need to know, I have some issues for real.
It worked onces on my iphone 4 for like 20 minutes, and then, kept giving me errors.
can anyone give me detailed guidelines on how to fix or repair this issue?
your cooperation is appreciated.
thank you ahead

Go to the sharing tab in the properties and then tick the Allow other network users to connect
through this pc internet connection and in the drop down below, select the hotspot connection
which is Local Area connection *21 in my case and then hit ok.
This part, Im not able to change it to the required local area connection thing.. i Just get the spot

First be sure that you got the connection with the star under the change adapter settings. Did
you get that? Anything like Local Area Connection * with a star I mean to say! if you got that
then you must have that in the drop down menu of that specific connection which you want to
share! i-e your main internet connection.

It works really good, BUT everytime that I turn off and then on again my PC I have to go back to the
CMD adm mode and type: netsh wlan start hostednetwork again to make it discoverable again.
Is there a way to turn on my PC and make it starts automatically?
Thanks

This happen after you disable via Control Panel -> network adapters -> right click button on the
virtual connection -> disable
To fix that go to Devide Manager (win-key + x + m on windows 8), then open the network adapters
tree , right click button on Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter and click on enable.
Try now with the command netsh wlan start hostednetwork with admin privileges. It should work.
Note: If you dont see the network adapter with name Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter
try on menu -> view -> show hidden devices in the Device Manager window.
