This time caracara will discuss how to create a hotspot on a laptop computer with Windows 7. The first way is without an application and the second with an application.
How to Make Hotspot on Laptop
You can choose which method is the easiest for you. To make your laptop a hotspot doesn't even need a lot of capital, just a laptop, a net connection (LAN/WiFi), and the Windows 7 operating system. However, if you use an assembled PC or desktop, you need an additional device, namely a WiFi Adapter. But if your computer already supports WiFi, you can immediately practice it. To start creating Hotspot on PC follow these steps:
The First Way to Create a Hotspot on a Laptop
To turn your laptop into a hotspot without an application, we will play with Command Prompt or CMD. CMD is a Windows default application that is capable of translating a command line in the form of text to be executed by the Windows operating system. To open CMD you can press the Start button then in the search field type “cmd.” Then right-click on the application and select “Run as Administrator.”
After writing C:\windows\system32> type “netsh can exhibit drivers.” This aims to check whether your laptop computer or PC can run VAP (Virtual Access Point). Find the words "Hosted Network Supported," if it says No, then you must activate it first. The method:
Go back to me and run as administrator
Type netsh can set hostednetwork mode=allow then Enter
If it works, it's time to activate and create a WiFi name (SSID) and password
After C:\windows\system32> type netsh can set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid= (SSID name is up to you without brackets) key= (password without brackets)
Example: netsh can set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=caracara key=Laptop123
When finished, type again gets can begin hostednetwork to enable VAP.
At this stage, you can share the web but can't connect to other devices. After following the steps above, complete it in the following way: Open Local Area Connection > Properties > select the Sharing tab. Select Wireless Network Connection two or the SSID name you created earlier. After that OK. To stop it, type netsh can give up hostednetwork in me and to reactivate it type netsh can begin hosted network.
The 2nd Way to Make Hotspot on Laptop
Apart from using CMD, you can also use the advert hoc facility to turn your laptop computer into a hotspot. With Ad Hoc you can share a net connection and data from one laptop computer to another laptop computer wirelessly up to 10 meters.

From another device, turn on WiFi and look for the WiFi name according to the SSID you created earlier, enter the password, and you are immediately connected to the internet.
How to Make Hotspot on Laptop with Application
If the process of activating the hotspot without the above application is quite inconvenient. You can use third-party applications as an alternative. There are various applications that can turn a laptop computer into a hotspot, but the simplest is mHotspot.
Run mHotspot and check the option to install additional apps (bloatware). Click Next then fill in your Hotspot SSID name and password. If successful you can start by clicking the Start Hotspot button. To stop it simply click the Stop Hotspot button. You can use web sharing with apps, whether you're connecting to a wired or wireless web.
How to make a hotspot on a laptop computer you can apply directly on your laptop computer. For those of you who use Windows 7, you can use the above method. Meanwhile, for those of you who use Windows 10, you can directly activate the Hotspot menu from the Windows main page because the Hotspot facility has become a default feature in Windows 10.
That's all from me, I hope it's useful.
