Till now we are habituated to create hotspot using mobile phone containing OS as android, ios and windows. But now you can also create hotspot using your laptop or pc containing a wifi device with proper driver installted. If that is so, then you are ready to share internet.
Created WIFI hotspot will take the internet from your computers's local area network (LAN) usually called as Ethernet and share it over your WIFI connection for others users to access. A maximum of 6 users at a time.
This can be easily done without any software and by using command prompt administrator.
