Most of us have seen the feature in android phones which allows you to convert your phone into a wifi hotspot and then the mobile's data connection can be used in latops or other wifi devices to connect to the Internet.
Have you ever wondered if you could do the same with your laptop.
Suppose you have a USB modem(or a LAN connection) that allows you to connect to the Internet on your Laptop but you are limited and cannot use that Internet connection on your mobile device or some other laptop.
Maybe you are in a room with 3 or more friends where one of the guys has a USB modem. Only 1 person can access the internet at a time?? If you have any of these problems, I present you a solution which will help you out... : D
You can convert your laptop into a wifi hotspot using a third party tool 'mhotspot'. Download Link.
Step 1.> Download the above software. Its a very small 300Kb file. ;-)
Step 2.> Run the downloaded file.Goto Setup tab and enter the hotspot name and password of your choice.
Step 5.> Then a status box will appear, click properies.
Step 6.> Go to sharing tab and tick the box,"Allow other users to connect through this computer's internet connection" and select the wireless network connection 2(This is the same name which appeared in the image of step 4).
Step 7.> Click "start hotspot" to enable sharing your internet through wifi.
Step 8.> Final view.
And you are done.... !!
Now you can view and connect to this network on your other wifi devices and use it freely... :D
You need not configure this entire process every time you set up a hotspot. One time configuration will do.
If you change your internet connection, then you need to reconfigure.
You can even create a hotspot if you are accessing internet using a LAN cable also.
