Creating a WiFi hotspot in Windows 7 + Sharing Internet connection for use, in Android
Posted August 3, 2012 by Sanju in Tips n Tricks. 194 Comments Nowadays, almost all cell phones have an inbuilt WiFi adapter. And also, Android OS is much popular these days. Thus most of us have an Android phone with latest WiFi technology, may be 802.11 b/g/n. As almost all PCs today are equipped with a WiFi adapter and almost every computer OS provides the feature of creating a Wireless Connection, one may think of creating one and share the internet connection for use in Android. But it is of no use, as Android is unable to detect ad-hoc wireless networks and it needs an infrastructure network. Its well enough if you have a wireless router as its somewhat not possible to create an infrastructure network using PCs WiFi. But, here comes the twist. The line you read just 2 seconds ago is wrong. Yeah, one can create a Wireless Network using PCs WiFi for use in Android (Under some conditions!). This guide features a complete tutorial on creating a Wireless Connection in Windows (detectable by Android) and sharing your Internet Connection over WiFi. Before continuing with this tutorial, I recommend you to download mHotspot (http://www.mhotspot.com) . Its required for creating an infrastructure network (A Hotspot!). Also, let me assure, that this software works only in Windows 7 and above. Thus, XP users have to find some other solution as we cannot continue without this application. Sorry for that !! So, lets begin. First of all, we need to share our working Internet Connection with the WiFi adapter. For doing so, proceed as follows. Open Network and Sharing Center. From the left pane, click on Change adapter settings.

(http://sanjutalks.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/15.png) This will list all your network adapters and connections. Now right-click on your current, working Internet Connection and select Properties.

(http://sanjutalks.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/2.png) A dialog box will be opened as shown in the image. Go to the sharing tab. Check the option Allow other network users to connect through this computers Internet connection. If it is already checked, uncheck and check it again. Now, from the dropdown under the label Home networking connection, select Wireless Network Connection 2 from the list.

(http://sanjutalks.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/3.png) In most PCs its name is Wireless Network Connection 2 by default, unless changed. If you can not find it in the list, just search for your Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter and select its name from the list. Then, click on OK. If prompted about some IP Address settings, just click OK and proceed further.

(http://sanjutalks.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/4.png) Now, open Properties of that Wireless Network Connection 2 (Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter). Double-click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).

(http://sanjutalks.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/5.png)

It will open up another Properties window. Here, select the option Use the following IP adress. Set the IP address to 192.168.0.1, the Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and leave the Default gateway blank. Also, set 8.8.8.8 as the Preferred DNS server. Leave Alternate DNS server, blank. Click OK and also close other Properties window. Thus, we have shared our Internet connection. Then, connect to the Internet connection.

(http://sanjutalks.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/6.png) Now, we proceed towards creating a WiFi hotspot. For that double-click on mHotspot.exe that we downloaded a the beginning of this tutorial. Then, click on SETUP HOTSPOT.

(http://sanjutalks.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/7.png) Give the desired name and a password (minimum 8 characters). Make sure you provide a strong password (I recommend that the password should contain alphanumeric characters with atleast one uppercase letter and one special character like for example: Ggsr@143). After that, click on OK.

(http://sanjutalks.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/8.png) Now click on the START button.

(http://sanjutalks.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/9.png) Now, click on the network icon in the taskbar and check whether the name of the newly created WiFi hotspot appears or not. If the name is listed, means we have successfully configured our hotspot.

(http://sanjutalks.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/101.png) It will show Internet access under the name of your current Internet connection and also under the name of our recently created WiFi hotspot. If No internet access is mentioned under the name of your current Internet connection, means you are not yet connected to the internet. While, if Internet access is mentioned under your current connection but No internet access is mentioned under the name of the hotspot, means the Internet connection is not properly shared. Just repeat the previous steps for sharing the Internet connection properly. If all set, then its time to configure the Android device. Below here, I have mentioned steps for the Android device running Android v2.3.6 (Gingerbread). Though, the steps are somewhat similar for other versions. So, just go to Settings -> Wireless and networks -> Wi-Fi settings. Now open menu and select Advanced option.

(http://sanjutalks.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/11.png) Here, check the option Use static IP. Set the IP address to 192.168.0.2, Gateway to 192.168.0.1, Netmask to 255.255.255.0 and DNS1 to 8.8.8.8 and leave DNS2 blank. Now save the settings and turn the Wi-Fi on.

(http://sanjutalks.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/12.png) It will detect and display the name of our hotspot in the available networks list. Select the network, enter the password and tap on Connect . If you are authenticated correctly, your cell phone will be connected to the hotspot.

(http://sanjutalks.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/13.png) Thats it. You can now use the Internet on your device.

(http://sanjutalks.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/14.png) I have basically shown the steps for Android but, these can be done the same way in other devices. One just needs to know how to configure the IP settings in that device. This hotspot is detectable in almost every WiFi enabled device. Thus it can be used to share an Internet connection between PCs too. Happy and Safe Browsing !!

Reply Posted by Sanju on February 18, 2013 at 8:59 PM When the WiFi of your device is on and it lists the Wireless Access Point, just press and hold the name of that Access Point and check show advanced options. Then click IP Settings and change from DHCP to Static. Here you go. Now you can set the static IP and DNS information. Its because in earlier Android, the IP information is managed per Wireless Adapter but later on its managed per Network Reply Posted by Sadfi on March 3, 2013 at 1:02 PM I did that already bt once i choose static, the save button deactivates and the new settings wont get saved

Posted by Sanju on March 8, 2013 at 4:14 PM You should provide the accurate ip settings for the save button to get enabled..

hi thanx for giving such a nice article. But i am facing issues in finding Microsoft Virtual WIFi miniport adapter. I searched also but its not coming i serched on internet also but no use. Reply Posted by Sanju on February 18, 2013 at 8:35 PM You can try with the default wireless adapter. If you are unable to get a working WiFi connection, then I think your device doesnt has the Microsoft Virtual WiFi drivers. You may diagnose this problem from Microsofts website.

I followed all your instructions, precisly. Am using a Galaxy s3 and it connects to my wifi adaptor shared from my 3G usb modem. But the problem is my phone wont connect to the internet, facebook, play store, anything internet related it gives a try again error message. even whatsapp texts dont go through. Ive been reading all the comments and I cant seem to see any help there. PLEASE Help.. What must I do to get this right??? Reply Posted by Sanju on March 26, 2013 at 7:59 PM First of all make sure you have properly assigned a static ip address in your PC. Then as per this tutorial assign a static ip in your Android. Secondly, ensure that the DNS address on both the devices are same. If your ISP dont have a particular DNS address then assign 8.8.8.8 manually. Lastly, check that your Internet connection is properly shared. Also select the connection (through which you are sharing the internet) in the list of connections in mHotspot (if new version) Contact me if problem persists thereafter.

Reply Posted by Sanju on June 19, 2013 at 2:01 PM Thus your system doesnt have a WiFi Adapter dude. So you cant use this technique of sharing internet.

It still works Reply Posted by Sanju on June 19, 2013 at 1:55 PM Thank you Reply Posted by shafeel on June 9, 2013 at 7:06 PM brother ,i have samsung y,and i want to use internet in my lap(windows 7) through wifi portable hotsport,,now i conected with it ,,but i cannot acess internet in lap..(there is come no internet aceess) pls help Reply Posted by Sanju on June 19, 2013 at 1:59 PM First of all make sure the Packet data is enabled in your SGY. Then in your lappy, go to Network Settings and ensure that the WiFi adapter is set to take IP automatically. If both these steps are executed well, I think there shouldnt be any problem in accessing the internet.

Hi Sanju! Its written above that IP Address for PC should be 192.168.0.1 & for

Hi Sanju! Its written above that IP Address for PC should be 192.168.0.1 & for android(gingerbread) IP address should be 192.168.0.2 . As both given IPs must be same as u mentioned so pls. correct it. I faced one issue with mhotspot (latest version-400kb) on clicking start hotspot, it says driver problem found, wait while mhotspot restore it to default but in vain. I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64 & also have Microsoft virtual wifi mini port adapter. Also, please tell can I use that hotspot(if created successfully) for file transfers between android & laptop(for example: by using Wifi file transfer pro apk on phone). Coz I mainly want to use it for file transfer& not usually have internet on laptop. Pls. help meeee pleeaase. Reply Posted by Sanju on June 28, 2013 at 2:21 AM Hello. I never told that both IPs must be same!! In fact, the IP Address of your PCs Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter and the Gateway Address on your Android should be same. Secondly, if you are facing problems with the software, try its previous versions. Also try running it in the compatibility mode. If the problem persists, you can use Connectify. And after connecting to the hotspot, you can obviously use it for file transfer. Good luck! Reply Posted by Dreamzone on June 28, 2013 at 10:23 AM O.K. Sanju! Sorry for being misunderstood, Will try it for sure To other windows 7 users:- If you dont see Microsoft virtual mini port adapter in the list, then it might have disappeared from the list but still there in your system. So, b4 downloading another driver, just try the following method:1. Open cmd.exe & run it as administrator. 2. Now, type the following in single line netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow (without quotes). 3. Hit & youll see ur missed adapter in the list. Reply Posted by Sanju on June 28, 2013 at 2:24 PM That was a good one..! Hope users solve their problem of the missing adapter.. Thanks for sharing..

HI, I want to know if this will work for the following situation. Laptop connects to 802.11 a protocol wifi network. Now create a wifi hot-spot in either b/g protocols. The reason is my android device does not support a protocol. And I donot have ethernet connection since this is public wifi network for my apatment complex. Any ideas on how this could be done.

Reply Posted by Sanju on July 18, 2013 at 11:50 PM Try to update the WLAN drivers.. and if your system has a WLAN Switch sort of thing then make sure that the Wireless adapter is turned on before starting mHotspot..!
