Answer» This could also be under Windows, but I understand it is not REALLY a Windows . Not sure about that. Anyway, here goes. A hot spot is a local Wi-Fi ACCESS Point coming from a device that would otherwise be a Wi-Fi CLIENT. You MIGHT want this when no Wi-Fi is available.
Making a hop-spot with my iPhone 4 is very easy. The same is true for most Android phones that have both Wi-Fi and 3/4G data.
But what about doing it in Windows? I found that the software included with some Wi-Fi USB adapters has the software lacking in Windows. That works. Wait. somebody says it has always been in Windows. What?
So I Google and see a video that says I can do it in Windo0ws 10. Maybe it is easy. but I can not understand the video. After a bit my attention spans burns out. I don't get it. So is it really easy using just the built-in Window software?
If I could learn to do this, it would free up some of the hardware clutter in my man-cave. Maybe. Do you know how?
It is definitely possible with internet connection sharing but the performance is nowhere as good as using a dedicated access point.Thank you, But how do I do it? Don't tell me to go to Hawaii.
In some cases performance is not the concern. Example, I want to check my e0mail with a device that needs a Wi-Fi and in we are in an office that has only wired Internet. Is there a quick way to get the desktop PC to send out a Wi-Fi feed?
You can download software such as "VIRTUAL Router" that will do it for you but you can also set things up from the command prompt. http://www.ampercent.com/turn-windows-10-pc-into-a-wi-fi-hotspot/15499/I would like to do it without any third party software.T hanks. I am trying that now. I keep getting something wrong. I am not getting the WLAN command right. Well, I see I am going to have to do some reading if I want to do this in the command prompt.
