1.
Open command prompt as an administrator
2.
Now type the following command:
netsh
wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyNetwork key=MyPassword
Press enter
Replace
"MyNetwork" with the name you'd like to use for your custom network,
and "MyPassword" with a password.
3.
Now type the following command
netsh
wlan start hostednetwork
and
press [Enter] to fire up the virtual adapter.
4.
Now click Control Panel >> Network and Internet >>
Network and Sharing Centre >> Change Adapter Settings,
5.
Right-click your internet connection and select
Properties.
6.
Click the Sharing tab, check "Allow other network users to
connect...", choose your virtual Wi-Fi adaptor - and it’s done.
7.
Any nearby Wi-Fi enabled device will see a new network appear
with the SSID defined above. They'll be able to connect to it with password
provided, and can then immediately share internet connection.
While
it's worth knowing how to do this manually, if it's something you do often then
you'll probably prefer a simpler solution.
