Although everyone is already accustomed to seeing a router in the form of a plastic square device on a table with many blinking lights, a laptop can also handle information routing.
For example, you need to distribute the Internet right here and now, but you don’t have a router at hand, and this article will teach you how to set up a laptop wifi router with shared access to global network with help third party programs.
This article is also suitable for personal computer, but provided that it is equipped Wi-Fi adapter ohm Also, the following programs are designed to work under Windows control XP, 7 or 8.
Note - in Windows 8.1, installation of third-party programs is not required; the Internet distribution function via Wi-Fi is already built into operating system.
Program one
Let's look at the first way to turn a laptop into a wireless access point. You just need to take into account that Wi-Fi must be free, and access to the Internet must be done either via a wired connection or via 3G/4G.
First, download the “VirtualRouter Plus” program. For example, from here: http://opensource.runxiadq.com/index.php/projects/virtual-router-plus.
Website at English language, on home page There is a description of how the program works, which will be discussed further, only in Russian. Click the “Download Latest Release” link and save the archive to your desktop. The program is free and does not require installation. We go into the archive and run the file “VirtualRouterPlus.exe”.
Program window
Next, some simple but necessary settings are required:
- In the SSID field, enter the name of our created Wi-Fi networks;
- In the “Password” field we write the password to connect to it (WPA2 standard, at least 8 characters of the English alphabet and numbers);
- In the “Shared Connection” field, select our connection to the Internet (for example, if we are connected via a Beeline 3G modem, then select the “Beeline” item).
Everything is ready, click “Start Virtual Router Plus”, the program will automatically be minimized to tray, and with any wireless device (smartphone, tablet) you can search for a Wi-Fi network with our name.
The created Wi-Fi network was found
Of course, there will be general Internet access.
Program two
The second program on how to make a router from a laptop will be “Connectify Hotspot”. The program, like the previous one, is distributed free of charge, although there is also a paid option. Download Free version you can from the site:
http://www.connectify.me/hotspot/
After downloading the program and launching it, the first “minus” of the program is immediately revealed - it requires installation; during installation, its own service is created, and a computer reboot is required to start it. After a reboot, it turns out that Connectify Hotspot, without the user’s consent, registers itself in startup, and after launching, it persistently demands registration every time. On the other hand, one can understand that the developer wants to have statistics on the work of his brainchild, everything is quite logical.
So, let's launch the program. The program's welcome window will open first.
Welcome window
For the sake of decency, let’s glance over the text and click “Next”. Next, 2 more windows will be displayed in which registration is requested. We do not enter anything anywhere (if you wish, you can enter it, then the program will be registered), and also click “Next” everywhere. Finally we get to the program settings window.
Program settings window
In this window you will also find out the difference between paid and free version– in the free version there is no way to change the name of the Wi-Fi network, it will always be “Connectify-me”. Nearby you can see a gray “PRO” icon, which means that the pro version is not active (not purchased).
Next, as with the previous program, enter the password in the “Password” field, and indicate Internet connections in the “Internet to share” field. Click “Start Hotspot”, after which a window with advertising will appear once, which we immediately close. That's it, we are looking for a wireless network with the tablet, the connection is configured.
Setup without using third-party programs
Method three
The third way to do it laptop wifi router, does not require installation of third-party programs, but we will configure it using built-in Windows tools. This method has been tested to work on Windows 7 and 8, but we don’t know for sure about XP.
So let's go to the list network connections(either through Start-Control Panel, or press “Win + R”, in the window that opens, enter “ncpa.cpl” and press “Enter”).
In the network connections window, click right click via a wireless connection, and select “Properties” from the drop-down menu.
Selecting wireless connection properties
Allow Internet access
Click “OK”.
Continuing setup via the console
Next, you need to launch the command line, but always with administrator rights. To do this, go to the “Start” menu, find the command line in the list, and by right-clicking on it, select the “Run as administrator” menu.
A console window will open, enter the command “netsh wlan show drivers”. There will be many lines of text displayed, but we are interested in the wireless network support line.
Network hosting support
If the answer is yes, then great, everything will work. If the answer is no, then we try to update the Wi-Fi adapter driver (preferably from the official website), or the adapter is hopelessly outdated and requires purchasing a newer model.
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=”network name” key=”WiFi123456″. Only instead of “network name” we write our real network name (also in quotes), and in the key field – our password (indicated in the article as an example).
After entering, the console will give a positive result.
Confirming Wi-Fi network settings
And finally, all that remains is to launch our created wireless network. There in the command line we write the last command - “netsh wlan start hostednetwork”.
Launching a virtual router
When you see the line “The hosted network is running,” you can take your smartphone and connect to the created wireless network.
And, finally, a little video on how to configure a laptop as a router, which discusses in detail the configuration of the first program in this article:
Before you start setting up Internet distribution from your laptop/computer, you need to make sure that the Wi-Fi adapter is turned on. On most laptops, the WLAN adapter activity indicator is present on the case; otherwise, you should enable the adapter in the Network and Sharing Center.
Set up Internet distribution using a wireless Wi-Fi network on your computer/laptop.
One way to organize Internet distribution via Wi-Fi is to create a Wi-Fi network computer-computer using Windows(Don't rush to do it!!!). Let me immediately explain that this method has a slight drawback, the fact is that you will not connect an Android tablet or tablet to such a network. smartphone IPhone, only another computer/laptop with the Windows operating system installed. This is due to the fact that you are creating a point in Ad-hoc mode (also called: point-to-point, computer-to-computer, peer-to-peer network) and devices with a different operating system (Android, iOS) will not see your network or will not be able to access connect to her. You need Soft AP mode (also called: access point mode, soft Access Point, virtual WiFi, virtual router) and how to do this is written in the second part of the article.
The first step is to get to the Network and Sharing Center. To do this, you can right-click on network icon in the lower right corner of the screen and select "Network and Sharing Center."
Another way is to go to “Start” - “Control Panel” - “Network and Sharing Center”.
No matter which method you use, you will eventually see the Network and Sharing Center window. Click "Set up a new connection or network."
In the Setting up a connection or network window, select “Set up a wireless computer-to-computer network” and click “Next”.
Read the information window and click “Next”.
In the next window you need to enter the details of the network you are creating:
Network name- Wi-Fi network name (SSID), which will be seen by other computers/laptops. Enter any name.
Security key- password for connecting to a Wi-Fi network, I recommend using a complex password of at least 8 characters, consisting of letters, numbers and special characters (!@#$).
In the next window, click the "Turn on Internet Connection Sharing" button and click the "Close" button.
At this point, setting up a Wi-Fi network between computers can be considered complete. Now if you go to the Network and Sharing Center you will see your Wi-Fi network.
On other computers you can see and connect to the created network.
In order to delete a computer-to-computer connection, go to the Network and Sharing Center, select “Manage wireless networks” and delete the created network.
Set up Internet distribution on a laptop for a computer/laptop/tablet/smartphone.
If you want to distribute the Internet not only to computers and laptops, but also to tablets and smartphones a suitable method described below.
We launch the command prompt with administrator rights, to do this, click “Start” - “All Programs” - “Accessories”, right-click on “Command Prompt” and select “Run as administrator”.
Another way is to click keyboard shortcut
On the command line you need to run the command:
netsh WLAN set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=“point name” key=”password”
For example:
netsh WLAN set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=site key=Pa$$w0rd
After this, you need to enable the network, to do this, run the command:
netsh WLAN start hostednetwork
The next step is to provide Internet access to all connected devices; to do this, go to the Network and Sharing Center and select “Change adapter settings.” In the connections window that opens, select the connection that has access to the Internet (it doesn’t matter what the Internet Source is - a 3G/4G modem, a provider cable or a Wi-Fi network with access to the global network), for this you can change the view to “Table” and see next to the connection “Internet access”. In my case it is "Local Area Connection 2". The orange line marks the network that we created, it will tell you about it Microsoft string Virtual WiFiMiniport Adapter (remember the network name, it will come in handy later).
Right-click on the connection and select "Properties".
In the properties window, select the "Access" tab, check the box next to "Allow other network users to use the Internet connection" of this computer", below select the connection you created, in my case it is Wireless Network Connection 2 (the connection marked with an orange line in the picture above).
On this Wi-Fi setup the network can be considered complete. It should be noted that after restarting the computer distributing the Internet, you will have to run the command again since it will not work automatically . If you want it to start automatically every time you boot your computer, you need to create a batch file and add it to startup. To do this, create Text Document enter the command into it netsh WLAN start hostednetwork, save the document. Further change the extension from txt to bat and add the file to startup (Start - all programs - startup).
In order to delete Wi-Fi connection, launch a command prompt with administrator rights and use the command:
netsh WLAN set hostednetwork mode=disallow ssid=“point name” key=”password”
For example:
netsh WLAN set hostednetwork mode=disallow ssid=site key=Pa$$w0rd
That's all. If you have any questions or suggestions, write in the comments.
So, dear readers of our online magazine, in this article we will share four simple and quick ways“share” the laptop’s Internet connection via Wi-Fi. In other words, we can easily turn our Windows 7 computer into Wi-Fi hotspot.
How it works?
Any Wi-Fi LAN card can be used to transmit wired internet signal over Wi-Fi protocol. To implement this task, you need some kind of virtual bridge or router connecting network devices. The Windows 7 operating system contains built-in capabilities for accessing a wired Internet connection through devices connected via a wireless protocol. However, now there is also software, with which you can literally set up a real Wi-Fi point in your own computer. In this article we will offer several methods, but the choice is yours!
Wi-Fi access point using standard Windows 7 methods
The most obvious way to turn a laptop into a Wi-Fi hotspot is to use standard function creating a new WiFi connection Computer-Computer, which allows you to open access to local files and the Internet connection to everyone connected via WiFi computers and devices.
Go to Network and Sharing Center by clicking on the network icon in the system tray at the bottom right and selecting the appropriate item:
The security type is the type of connection security. The recommended type is WPA2-Personal. It requires entering a password between 8 and 63 characters long. When, if your external WiFi device (phone, tablet, laptop, etc.) the network will not be found, or the connection will be interrupted, You can change the security type to WEP(requires 5-digit password), or open ("No authentication"), that is, without encryption and password.
Click Next and your access point will be created. You may also need to enable access to your computer's Internet connection over the network. To do this, go to the Network and Sharing Center, then in the menu on the left “Change adapter settings” and call up the properties of the Wireless network connection. On the “Access” tab, check the “Allow other network users to use this computer’s Internet connection” checkbox:
Due to the ease of setup and quick activation/deactivation this method Best suited for temporary and fast connection with various devices.
Setting up a Wi-Fi access point using the Windows Command Line
If you are familiar with Command Windows string, then I think it will be easy and simple for you to create WiFi connection using two simple console commands.
First of all, you need to run Command Prompt as Administrator. To do this, open Start and type “cmd” in the search. In the search results, click on the icon cmd right click and select " Run as Administrator«:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=YourSSID key=YourPassword keyusage=persistent
Where YourSSID— Network name, and YourPassword- password. After this, with the following command we enable the configured network:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
You can break the connection with the following command:
netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
Automatic creation of a Wi-Fi point using a Batch file
All the actions specified in the previous subsection can be easily automated by writing a small script. All we need is to open Notepad (via the Start menu) and enter a few lines there:
@echo off
CLS
:MENU
ECHO.
ECHO —————————————————
ECHO.
ECHO Press 1, 2, or 3 to select your task, or 4 to Exit.
ECHO —————————————————
ECHO.
ECHO 1 - Set Wifi Sharing Attributes
ECHO 2 - Start WiFi Sharing
ECHO 3 - Stop WiFi Sharing
ECHO 4 - Exit
ECHO.
SET /P M=Type 1, 2, 3, or 4, then press ENTER:
IF %M%==1 GOTO SET
IF %M%==2 GOTO START
IF %M%==3 GOTO STOP
IF %M%==4 GOTO EOF
:SET
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=YourSSID key=YourPassword keyusage=persistent
GOTO MENU
:START
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
GOTO MENU
:STOP
netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
GOTO MENU
Again, instead of values YourSSID And YourPassword enter your connection name and password values. Save the file under any name and Necessarily specify extension ".bat". All you have to do is run the script as Administrator and follow the instructions on the screen command line.
Virtual Wi-Fi hotspot using third-party applications
There are a huge number of applications that allow you to turn your laptop into virtual WiFi router We will not consider this countless number, but will dwell a little on a wonderful program called Connectify Hot Spot PRO. The application is distributed on a paid basis.
Connectify Hot Spot allows you to connect to a virtual hotspot as mobile devices different platforms and computers with different operating systems. The program is easy to set up. All you need to indicate is Network name(Hotspot Name) password(Password) and, in fact, network adapter (Internet To Share), from which Internet access will be opened. After starting with the “Start Hotspot” button on the “Clients” tab, you can view connected or recently connected devices.
Conclusion
There are many different uses Wi-Fi points access, except for opening access to the Internet for Wi-Fi devices and computers. However, we hope that any of the methods we described will help you cope with the task posed in this article. Find the best one for yourself and don't forget to like!
To organize a wireless network, a router is used - a special device that sends information packets between network components (see).
In the absence of a router, data transfer can be realized using modern laptops, tablets, smartphones that have a WiFi module that is built into the device at the manufacturing and assembly stage.
Using software methods on a laptop, you can create a virtual router that distributes WiFi signals with provision of general access to the Internet (see).
The article discusses three ways to organize “distribution” of WiFi from laptops:
- when using a “Computer – Computer” connection;
- using the console application of the operating system “Command Line”;
- using additional software.
IN Windows systems versions 7, 8, 10, the processes for creating and configuring a wireless connection and providing shared access to the Internet are similar and have a common scheme.
Before creating a public access point on a laptop and distributing Internet tools from it, you need to:
- check functionality wireless module laptop. You can diagnose the Wireless Network Adapter using the built-in operating system tools in the Device Manager (Screen 1);
- If problems are detected, update or reinstall the drivers for the network adapter by downloading programs from official sources;
- connect your laptop to the Internet using a cable connection or USB modem;
- enter the data correctly network settings into the laptop operating system, taking into account the provider's recommendations.

When connecting a mobile device to the created virtual network, there is no access to the Internet
Check the following:
- Is the WiFi source through which the laptop is connected to the Internet correctly indicated?
- Do web pages open on the laptop itself?
- Disable your antivirus and firewall and try checking access. If, in this case, Internet access appears, add this connection to the antivirus exceptions.
Restart Wi-Fi distribution using the appropriate commands.
Devices do not connect to the created network and the error “could not connect to the network” appears, or the “Obtaining IP address” process freezes
Disable your antivirus software and try connecting again.
Hello. Recently I saw a comment on the site asking how to use a laptop Wi-Fi router. The laptop is connected to the Internet via cable and how to make it distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi to other devices.
Seeing this comment, I remembered that you can actually create a connection “computer-computer” over Wi-Fi, I decided that this was a great topic for a new article. Here's the comment itself:
In general, I want to use the laptop as a Wi-Fi router (the laptop itself is connected via a regular cable). Through a computer-to-computer connection, I want to connect a laptop to it, so that I can use the Internet on the laptop and on the laptop. Is this possible? The problem is that I connected everything and the icon on the taskbar shows on the netbook that there is Internet access, but when I open the browser (I have Explore and Google Chrome) it does not connect to the Internet, and I can’t figure out why problem??
A really good question that probably interests many. For example, you have a laptop with Wi-Fi, to which the Internet is connected via cable. For example, you got another laptop or netbook. And you want to connect your new device to the Internet via Wi-Fi. You don’t have a Wi-Fi router yet, you haven’t purchased it yet, or you don’t want to install and configure it at all.
In such a situation, you can use a laptop connected to the Internet as a Wi-Fi router (access point). The Wi-Fi adapter that is in the laptop can not only receive, but also distribute a signal. You just need to make some settings, create a computer-to-computer connection, and the laptop will distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi.
Tested and working!
For the experiment and the quality of this article, I have two laptops ASUS K56cm And Toshiba Satellite L300. ASUS Let's connect to the Internet via cable, it will distribute the Internet to us, it will act as a Wi-Fi router. A laptop Toshiba We will connect to ASUS via Wi-Fi and use the Internet on it. Moreover, on a laptop that will work as an access point, the Internet should also work. Let's get down to business.
Attention!
Only other computers (laptops, netbooks) will be able to connect to the Wi-Fi that the laptop will distribute. Phones, tablets and other mobile devices will not be able to connect to Wi-Fi. In order for a laptop to distribute the Internet to mobile devices, you need to use the Virtual WiFi Router program, etc.
And in the notification panel, the Internet connection status should look like this:
If everything is like mine, then you can start setting up the connection.
Setting up a computer-to-computer connection
We continue setting up the laptop that we will use as an access point. We need to create a connection to which another device will connect.
Right-click on the Internet connection status and select.
Click the button "Add".
Choose Create a computer-to-computer network. This connection can be used not only to connect to the Internet, but also to create a regular local network via Wi-Fi, for example, for exchanging files. I wrote about how to set up a local network through a router in the article.
In the next window you can familiarize yourself with the functions of this connection, and click "Further".
If you want your network to be password protected, then I advise you to leave it that way. WPA2-Personal. If you want the network to be open, then select “No authentication”.
Security key – enter the password for the Wi-Fi network. Just choose something more complicated than mine I do this, for example.
Next we see information about the network we created, namely the name and password (though it's hidden). But the most important thing we need to do in this window is Click the “Enable Internet Connection Sharing” button. If you do not press this button, then when you connect to the network on this laptop, there will only be the local network, and the Internet will not work on connected devices.
As you see the inscription “General access Internet connection is enabled", the window can be closed.
We have set up our laptop that will distribute the Internet. Now let's try to connect another laptop to it, I have a Toshiba Satellite L300.
Connecting a laptop to the created wireless connection
Turn on Wi-Fi on the laptop and click on the Internet connection status in the notification panel. As you can see in the screenshot below, there is our network, which I called "f1comp". Click on it, then click on the button “Connection”.
A window will appear asking for the security key for the network we created above. Enter the password, if you set one, and click "OK".
Attention! At this moment, a window will appear on the computer that distributes the Internet in which you need to select. You can also choose “home network” , but when I selected “Home Network,” my laptop did not connect to the Internet, but this is most likely due to the fact that NOD32 Smart Security 6 blocked the connection.
Then on the laptop that we connect to the Internet, mine is Toshiba, a status should appear that the laptop is connected to the “f1comp” network we created and has access to the Internet.
All friends, this is a victory :)! We just turned a laptop into a Wi-Fi router and connected another laptop to it.
Conclusion
As you probably understand, I wrote this article (like almost everything on this site) and simultaneously carried out settings on two laptops. So all the information has been verified in practice. As you can see, everything worked for me, and I hope that everything worked out for you as well.
As always, you can leave your questions in the comments to this article. Best wishes.
