Windows 10 includes a feature

called "Hosted Network" that
allows you to turn your
computer into a wireless
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-turn-your-windows-10-pc-wireless-hotspot 1/47
hotspot, and this guide we'll

show you how to do it.
Whether you're connecting to the

internet using a wireless or wired
adapter, similar to previous
versions, Windows 10 allows you
to share an internet connection
with other devices with a feature
called "Hosted Network".
Hosted Network is a feature that

comes included with the Netsh
(Network Shell) command-line
utility.
 It's
waspreviously
introduced in Windows 7, and it
allows you to use the operating
system to create a virtual
wireless adapter – something
that Microsoft refers to "Virtual
Wi-Fi" — and create a SoftAP,
which is a software-based
wireless access point.
Through the combination of

these two elements, your PC can
take its internet connection (be it
an ethernet connection or
hookup through a cellular
adapter) and share it with other
wireless devices — essentially
acting as a wireless hotspot.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll

walk you through the steps to
verify if your network adapter
supports the feature, how to
configure and enable a wireless
Hosted Network, and how to stop
and remove the settings from
your computer when you no

longer need the feature.

How to check if
your wireless
adapter supports
Hosted Networks
in Windows 10
While some adapters include
support for Hosted Network, you
will first need to verify your
computer's physical wireless
adapter supports this feature
using the following command:
NETSH WLAN show drivers
If the generated output shows

Hosted network supported:
Yes, then you can continue with
the guide. If your wireless
adapter isn't supported, you
could try using a USB wireless
adapter that supports the feature.
How to create a
wireless Hosted
Network in
  
Windows 10
Creating a wireless hotspot in
Windows 10 is relatively
straightforward — don't let the
command line scare you. Simply
follow the steps below to
configure a wireless Hosted
Network:
1. While in Command
Prompt (Admin) enter
the following command:
NETSH WLAN set

hostednetwork
mode=allow
ssid=Your_SSID
key=Your_Passphrase
Where the SSID would

be the name you want to
identify your wireless
network when trying to
  connect
  a new device,
and the passphrase is
the network security key
you want users to use to
connect to your network.
(Remember that the
passphrase has to be at
least 8 characters in
length.)
2. Once you created a

Hosted Network, enter
the following command
to activate it:
NETSH WLAN start

hostednetwork
How to share your

internet
connection with a
Hosted Network in
Windows 10
Up to here, you created and
started a Hosted Network in your
Windows
 10 PC. However, any
wireless capable device won't be
able to access the internet just
yet. The last thing you need to do
is to share an internet connection
using the "Internet Connection
Sharing" feature from a physical
network adapter.
1. Use the Windows key + X

keyboard shortcut to open
the Power User menu, and
select Network
Connections.
2. Next, right-click the

network adapter with an
internet connection – this
could be a traditional
Ethernet or wireless
network adapter —
select Properties.
Note: In Network
  Connections,
  you should
now see a new our new
Microsoft Hosted
Virtual Adapter which is
labeled Local Area
Connection* X, and with
the SSID name.
3. Click the Sharing tab.
4. Check the Allow other

network users to connect
through this computer's
Internet connection option.
5. Next, from the Home

networking connection
drop-down menu select
the Microsoft Hosted
Virtual Adapter.
  
6. Click OK to finish.
At this point, you should be able

to see and connect any wireless
capable device to the newly
created software access point,
and with access to the internet.
How to stop
sharing an
internet
connection with
other devices in
Windows 10
If you want to temporary stop
allowing other devices to connect
wirelessly through your

computer, you can type the
following command in the
Command Prompt and hit Enter:
NETSH WLAN stop

hostednetwork
At any time, you can just use the

start variant of the command to
allow
  
other devices to connect to
the internet using your computer
as an access point without extra
configuration:
NETSH WLAN start

hostednetwork
Similarly, you can also use the

following command to enable or
disable a wireless Hosted
Network:
NETSH WLAN set

hostednetwork mode=allow
NETSH WLAN set

hostednetwork mode=
disallow
How to change a
Hosted Network
settings in
Windows 10
In the case you want to change
some of the current settings,
such as SSID or network security
you can use the following
commands:
NETSH WLAN set

hostednetwork
 
ssid=Your_New_SSID
NETSH WLAN set

hostednetwork
key=Your_New_Passphrase
How to view the

current Hosted
Network settings
There are two commands to view
never miss out.

How to disable a
wireless Hosted
Network in
Windows 10
While the setup of a wireless
Hosted Network in Windows 10
is not very complicated, Microsoft
doesn't make very
straightforward to remove the
configurations when you no
longer need the feature.
Although you can use the stop or

disallow commands, these
actions won't eliminate the
settings from your computer. If
you want completely delete the
Hosted Network settings in

Windows 10, you'll need to
modify the Registry.
Important: Before you change

anything settings on your
computer, it's worth noting that
editing the Windows Registry can
be a dangerous game that can
cause irreversible damages to
your system if you don't know
what you are doing. As such, it's
recommended for you to make a
full backup of your system or at
least System Restore Point
before
 proceeding
  with this
guide. You have been warned!
1. Open the Start menu, do a search for regedit, hit Enter, and click OK to open the Registr
2. Scroll down the following path in the Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services\wlansvc\para
Right-click the HostedNetworkSettings DWORD key, select Delete, and click Y
  
3. Restart your computer
4. Open to the Command Prompt and use the following command:
NETSH WLAN show hostednetwork
You will know that you have successfully deleted the settings when the Settings

5. Make sure you turn off "Internet Connection Sharing" in the physical network ad
internet with other devices. Use the Windows key + X keyboard shortcut to ope
select Network Connections.
6. Right-click the network adapter, and select Properties.
7. Click the Sharing tab.
8. Uncheck the Allow other network users to connect through this computer's
  
9. Click OK to complete the process.
Things you need

to know
Although the wireless Hosted
Network feature in Windows 10
allows you to implement an
access point solution to share an
internet connection with other
devices, it's not meant to be a
solution to replace a physical
wireless access point.
Also, there are a few things you

want to consider. For example,
wireless speeds will dramatically
be reduced compared to the
rates provided from a physical
access point. Perhaps it would
not be a big deal for internet
browsing, but downloading or
transferring big files could be an
issue for some users.
You also need to consider that

your computer needs to be
always turned on to act as a
wireless access point. If the
computer
 
enters into sleep,
hibernate, or restarts, your
wireless hotspot will stop
working, and you will need to
start manually the feature using
the NETSH WLAN start
hostednetwork command.
You cannot run a SorftAP and ad

hoc at the same time on
Windows. If you need to create a
temporary network connection
between two computers, setting
up ad hoc will turn off SoftAP —
you can run one or the other, not
both at the same time.
Wrapping things
up
Wireless Hosted Network is a
nifty feature in Windows can be a
great tool to have for when you
need to create a wireless access
point on the go. It won't match

the performance of a physical
wireless access point, but it can
be useful for many unexpected
scenarios — like having one
wired ethernet connection and
several devices you want to get
online. It's not a replacement for
the real thing, but in a sticky
situation, it can be just the fix you
need.

Yes, ad hoc was removed in 8. I recall

some security warnings about it in prior
versions and always assumed it was
related. I recall an article about why the
"Free Public Wifi" ad-hoc SSID had gone
rather viral. If memory is correct, a
critical mass of computers were set to
remember and automatically connect,
that they would run into each other, start
the network, and attract new curious
users who would also save the setting,

etc.

Scenario where this is helpful: My grandfather's
retirement community has a mesh WiFi network
which for privacy is set to prevent wireless
clients from communicating directly (no normal
LAN behavior). So no simple wireless printing.
This should avoid the alternative of switching
between the printer's direct wifi and mesh WiFi
that has Internet. If I'm successful I'll owe Mauro

You say "You cannot run a SorftAP and ad hoc

at the same time on Windows." which implies
the exsistence of a 'ad hoc' option. However I
tought that ad hoc was removed from Windows
in faviour of this new SoftAP functionallity and
that you now can only created a SoftAP and
now longer true ad hoc networks, where
everyone is directlt talking to everyone else.
Or do you only mean that you cannot be joined
to an ad hoc network and run a SoftAP at the
same time? I do know how to join an ad hoc
network after someone else has created it but I

do not know how I could create one. Everything
I could find gave me the impression that it is no
longer possible since Windows 8(.1) and
therefore I have been using the SoftAP function
as described in this article instead.

I've been experiencing some issues with the

hostednetwork since I installed 1511 (maybe it's
an issue with my setup or it's a bug, I don't
know). The issue is that after a couple of hours,
although the hotspot is still active and other
devices are able to connect to it, they cannot
access the Internet. The workaround I've been
using involves (i) stopping the hostednetwork,
(ii) disabling and reenabling the Wi-Fi adapter,
(iii) restarting the ICS (internet connection
sharing service), and finally (iv) starting the
 hostednetwork

consistently resolves the connection loss issues
for me. Just thought I'd share.
Tip: you can type "netsh wlan start/stop host"

save time, the command is still recognized

here, but I find it hard to believe
Microsoft would not have the time to
make a simple toggle in Win10. Look at
all the Win10 LTE tablets.
Plus it would be helpful to use your PC's

WiFi to share your connection so you
don't kill your phone's battery.
Oh, and I know this one is a stretch, but

it would also help Microsoft with getting
Win10 in to cars.

Did you forget to read? It says right in

the article it was part of Windows 7.
Since you clearly think you're a better
journalist, why don't you start your own
news site and leave this one.
Axmantim
Read carefully. How does the article

imply that it's only a Windows 10 feature
if it specifically states it was introduced
with Windows 7?
Axmantim
No, it's YOU who does not get it. What is

the relevent version of Windows right
now? 10. What will 200,000,000 people
be searching for how to do things on
their shiny new OS. Windows 10 users.
Would you rather them say "How to turn
your Windows PC into a wireless
hotspot"? That wouldn't work because

not all versions support it. How about
make the title "How to turn your
Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, Server 2008 R2,
and Server 2012 into a wireless hotspot,
if and only if you have a network adapter
that supports this feature and have
administrative access" Would that be an
acceptable title for you? Should Mobile
Nations contact you for every title from
now on to make sure they are
acceptable to you and never mind that
they need to get articles out that are
relevent to today's users that might be
searching for this information. Try this,
copy and paste the article title into bing
and see the results. This article is about
4 links down. Now remove the number
 10 and
  you'll see this article isn't on the
first page. You're a moron if you don't
understand that the people that write
these articles don't do this for free, and
the way the get paid is through web
traffic. If no one can find the article, no
traffic, no money. So for once in your life,
get your head out of your a$$.
Axmantim
How about this, all things aside, since

you can't form a rebuttal without twisting
around what I say. If the article bothers
you so much, and many of them do on
here, why continue to visit this site. Do
you have nothing better to do? Me
personally, I'm laid up in bed from
surgery, so I have a legit excuse. So
what's yours, troll? Unemployed and
bored? Jealous? Can't really think of
more at the moment.

I like your response to smart asses like

kevin. All too often, authors of articles
try too hard to tolerate trolls like this

clown. Well played.
Achike Da
please guys, can someone help. i

followed every step correctly until the
end but under 'properties' i don't have a
"Home networking connection drop-
down menu". There's no drop down
menu for me to select my local area
connection. any solutions?

The network you're connected to is not

the right profile (probably set to public).
Richie Vk
I have the same issue. My network set to

private now. Did all the steps but when I
go to share the option to switch to the
new network is not available? Any
advice on how to correct that thanks!!!
John McIlhinney
I'm guessing that it's because networking

on a PC is far more complex than on a
phone. On a phone there's just one
interface and it's always the same
whereas on a PC there are all manner of
interfaces and possibly more than one
on the same machine. I'm sure that it

could be done but the fact that it would
be implemented differently to the phone,
be more complex and probably not used
nearly as often is why it hasn't been
done yet I'd imagine.

You can just put the commands in

notepad and save the file in .bat format.
One file to start (start.bat) and one to
stop (stop.bat). Just make sure you run
them as admin

The command can be set as

Environment Variable that is easy to
access by short name.
E.g. start = netsh wlan start
hostednetwork
stop = netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
and so on.
To run, open Command Prompt with
Administrator and just type %start% to
start hostednetwork or %stop% to stop
hostednetwork.

With windows 10 I found that the

connection worked for a few minutes,
then disconnected and would not
connect again without a restart.
This fix solved the problem when I typed

in netsh wlan start hostednetwork.
When I do the second step:>%stop% I
receive this message:
'%stop%' is not recognized

as an internal or external
command,
operable program or batch
file.
I'm fine using the command line. It is

curious that MS doesn't make this a gui
option. Not everyone is running a wifi
network in their home.

I have the same problem and I think it's

related to the wifi card. I have 3 laptops
and 1 has this problem. You can
disable/enable or unplug/plug your wifi
card instead of a restart.
