Verify that your Wi-Fi Adapter Driver Supports Ad-Hoc Modeīefore you start to create a Wi-Fi hotspot make sure your Wi-Fi adapter driver supports a virtual access point (Ad-Hoc) mode. We want our computer with a Wi-Fi adapter to be usedas a Wi-Fi access point by other devices and share its Internet connection. We assume that your system has two network adapters - a wired Ethernet network card (connected to a provider’s network) and a wireless Wi-Fi adapter.
So, here we’ll consider how to create a Wi-Fi hotspot (virtual access point) based on Windows 10 without additional third party tools. In Winda simple graphical interface for creating an access point – “Mobile hotspot” appeared. In the first releases of Windows 10, you could create and manage such a hotspot only from the command prompt. This hotspot can be used for creating a local wireless network or sharing Internet connection (wired or cellular 3G / 4G connection) by several devices (smartphones, tablets and other devices). Like in previous OS versions, in Windows 10 user can create a software Wi-Fi hotspot (access point).
