How to make your own Wireless point acces on Win 8 & 8.1 easily :
Since Windows 7, Microsoft has built in the virtual WiFi technology into Windows that gives the ability to turn any Windows machine with the supported wireless adapter into a wireless hotspot natively without the helps from any 3rd party tools. A pretty feature could be very useful and handy but lacks of a pretty and easy-to-use user interface.
In order to use your Windows 8.1 laptop or hybrid device as an WiFi access point for other devices, it must have at least 2 network cards installed and one of them must be a wireless network card. One of them must be connected to the internet.
How to make your own Wifi access point on Win 8 & 8.1 :
1)- Open cmd ( command prompt) as administrator :
2)- Create a Virtual WiFi Network in Windows 8 & 8.1 using :
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode =allow ssid="Tutopb" key="10tutopb10x"
Note :
- "Tutopb" : It's the Wifi access point name,chose what you like
- "10tutopb10x" : It's the Wifi access point keys,it should be mixed as you like
- This will use the WPA2-PSK (AES) as encyption.
3)- Now we should start our Wifi access point with :
"netsh wlan start hostednetwork "

" netsh wlan show hostednetwork "
