Hey guys, suppose you got an internet connection at your place but there is only 1 LAN port to connect your laptop and you are with your friends who want to surf the net too on their devices, you might have an argument too with them that who will connect it first. So now you don't need to argue anymore because here's a way for you by which you can connect all your devices at the same time just from a LAN port. All you need is a laptop or a PC which has a wireless adapter. All we are gonna do is just to share the LAN internet connection via WiFi by creating a hotspot from your laptop in Windows 7.
Here are the instructions:
- Connect the LAN cable to your laptop and open "Network and Sharing Center".
- Here, click on the "Local Area Connection" > "Properties" > "Sharing" tab.
- Now click on the check box of "Allow other network users to connect..." then click OK and close.
- Now go back to "Network and Sharing Center". Click on "Set up a new connection or network".
- Choose "Set up a wireless ad hoc" > Next.
- Type in Your connection name that you want, and in security type select WPA2 (Select WEP for iPhone).
- In security key, input your password (It won't allow too easy password).
- Check "Save this network" if you want to use this network many times.
- What else now? Just ask your friends to connect to your WiFi network with password you set that you just created and have fun.
