Share Internet connection from PC to other devices without using any software (Windows 8 only)

Unfortunately, Windows 8 has no longer make Ad-hoc network.It can, however, still an Internet connection.Now I'm going to show "How to share Internet connection from PC to other devices without using any software (Windows 8 only)".

By using Command Prompt(cmd), we can share Internet connection easily.
Now please follow a several steps:

Step 1: Check for compatibility to create hostednetwork

Right-click on Start Menu
Then click on Command Prompt(Admin)

 or
You can click on Start Menu or Press Windows Key
Then type Command Prompt or cmd
You will see the result on the left side, after that right-click on Command Prompt
Click on Run as administrator on the below tap




  

In the Command Prompt, you have to type the command to check your wireless card:
netsh wlan show drivers

After the process has finished, you need to focus on line Hosted network supported. If it equals Yes, it means you can share an Internet connect with hosted network, but it equals No, it means you can't share it.

  

Step 2: Create a hosted network


Make sure you are on Command Prompt Windows, if you aren't, just reopen it.
To create a hosted network to have to run this command:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=networkname key=networkpassword

mode: Specifies whether to allow or disallow the hosted network.
ssid: Name of the hostednetwork.
key: The user security key used by the hosted network.

Example:I want to create a hosted network with Name=Everyday-Geeks and Password=wesharetoyou, so I have to run this command:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Everyday-Geeks key=wesharetoyou



After that, hosted network has been created. The next thing you have to do is start hosted network
by running this command:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork

Once  you see the line "The hosted network started", that means you created a hosted network successfully.




Step 3: Set up the network

After creating hosted network, you need to do the simple things to make it available to other devices:

  • Open "Network and Sharing Center" by right-click on network icon in system tray, then choose "Open Network and Sharing Center".


  • In Network and Sharing Network Windows, you can see Current network and Hosted Network. In my example, Current network is name "Smart Mobile" which is a Mobile Broadband connection; I have to click on its Connections: "Smart Mobile" (See the below screenshot). Additionally, I notice that my hosted network's Connections name is "Local Area Connection *12".

  • Then I should click on Properties in the new opened window.

  • In Properties window, I will choose “Sharing” tab then check the box “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection.
  • Below that is a drop down list, I will choose it and select “Local Area Network *12,” which is my new hosted network.
  • Finally, I just click OK button and wait for it to be finished.
In my below screenshot, I used my iPhone to connect hosted network and it works perfectly.

Enjoy together :)
