Pc as an access point in windows 7

If you have no Wi -Fi router, simply set up a virtual Wi -Fi feature provided
by windos7. Makes it possible to do so. Start the command prompt as
administrator and enter (all in one line)

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="virtual WiFi"
key="aBcD-dx59-vcxy" keyusage=persistent

set the value for "ssid" and "key" as per your choice, with a minimum of
8 characters for the key. The router virtualization , like almost all devices,
support the network card "microsoft Adapter for miniport virtual WiFi"
appears in the device manager under "network Adapter", However one
must switch to another device if this doesn`t work

Once the new adapter is visible in the device manager activate the new
connection using the following network command
netsh.wlan.start.hostednetwork' you can view the status with the
command 'netsh.wlan.show.hostednetwork' you will encounter a '0'
under ' number of clients' if no device is connected to the virtual Wi - Fi
network. If another PC which is hosting a virtual hostspot is connected to
the device, the new network will be displayed on this ' virtual WiFi'
and the connection setup options will be offered
