Hello mga ka Symb!!

share ko lang po tong bago kong na discover about wifi sharing in Windows 8 without using an application..

-->pa delete na lang po if repost :noidea:

1. Run CMD with administrative privileges; just type cmd on Start Screen, right-click it and select Run as administrator.

2. Check first weather your network interface supports virtualization or not. Simply, run the following command to view Hosted network supported status.

**Type "netsh wlan show drivers"
*remove the apostrophe

In case, it says No, you will need to update your network adapter’s driver. If your NIC supports virtualization, you’re good to go. Now, enter the following commands to configure an ad hoc wireless connection.


3. Type "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=<network name> key=<passkey>"
*remove the apostrophe

4. Once the hosted network has been set to allow, you need to start the mode to create an ad hoc connection. Just enter the command below.

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

If it says “hosted network couldn’t started”, you need to disable current wireless network device and then enable it. You may also need to refresh network adapter list from Device Manger to install a virtual network device driver.


5. When the hosted network is started, enable ICS for newly created Wi-Fi connection, so that you can share your internet connection with others. In order to enable ICS feature, head over to Network and Internet –> Network Connections, and open Properties dialog of network device (which is connected to internet). Now, open Sharing tab, enable Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection, and then choose the newly created ad hoc connection from the list. In our case, it’s Wi-Fi 2, as shown in the screenshot below.

6. Once the internet connection is shared, check the IP address assigned to newly created ad hoc connection from TCP/IPv4 Properties. If it doesn’t assign IP address, then run netsh wlan start hostednetwork command in CMD.

7.After following the above steps, you will be able to connect Wi-Fi enabled devices with your Windows 8 PC. As shown in the screenshot below, the current internet connection is successfully shared with ad hoc connection.
