The Secret on how to turn your laptop or desktop to a Hotspot without the use of any third-party software

Firstly, let us start by understanding some vital terms needed to comprehend this learning process.

1. A hotspot is actually a physical location where people may obtain Internet access, typically using Wi-Fi technology, via a wireless local area network (WLAN) using a router connected to an ISP (internet service provider) or a datacard popularly called a modem that is connected to an mobile telecommunication company like MTN, Airtel, GLO or Etisalat.
   
2.  Netsh is actually a windows command-line scripting utility that allows you to, either locally or remotely, display or modify the network configuration of a computer that is currently running. Netsh also provides a scripting feature that allows you to run a group of commands in batch mode against a specified computer. Netsh can also be used as well to save a configuration script in a text file for archival purposes or to help you configure other servers. Though, Netsh has many usages, but for the purpose of our lesson, we will only concentrate on one of them.

Step One 

• ·         Ensure your laptop or desktop as a wireless Network adapter card. How do you find this out? Open the Run dialog box by pressing (Windows key + R) and Type “ncpa.cpl” and press the Enter Key.  You should see something like this. Check if can see WiFi Adapter Icon. If yes, lets proceed. If No, then stop following me.
   
• Now Run you command Prompt as an Administrator.  Press the window key on keyboard and Type "CMD". Right click on it and click on Run as Administrator.
• Now we are going to setup our hotspot name also known as Service set Identifier (SSID), Our Password or encryption key and the Wireless Network (Hotspot) Mode.

Step Two
I believe the command prompt is currently opened on your screen. Just like what I have here. Alright, lets proceed.

• Type the command exactly as I have here "netsh wlan set hostednetwork ssid=nathanielwireless"
  'nathanielwireless'  is the name of my hotspot, you are free to give yours its name too. After that, press the Enter Key.
• After that Type this command "netsh wlan set hostednetwork key=asdfg12345"
  'asdfg12345' is the password I am using to secured my hotspot, you are free to use yours. 
• After that Type this command "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow". You are free to set yours to 'disallow' if you don't want your hotpot to be visible to the anyone. But for now, set to allow.
• If you are sure you have completed this step and it was successful, CONGRATULATION!!!!!. Its time to move to next step.

Step Three
Its time start out hotpot, lets move it. Please, don't be in a haste in closing the command prompt window.

•   Type the command exactly has as seen "netsh wlan start hostednetwork".
  If successfully started, we are good to go.

Step four
 Ensure your datacard is connected to your laptop. Follow step one and open the Network Adapter Area.

• Right click on your datacard Adapter from the image on step one, my datacard adapter is called "Mobile Broadband 2, Glo 2".
• Click on Properties, there are two tabs there "Networking" and "Sharing". Click on Sharing Tab.
• On the Internet Connection Sharing area. Select the Checkbox that says "Allow other network users to connect though this computer internet connection" .
• Then, On the Home Networking Connection Select list. Choose, the adapter your Hotspot created and Click on Ok.
  If you done everything correctly, search for the hotspot and connect to it. You should be able to surf the Internet with the device.
