WiFi Hotspot Icon
Window 8 has many features. But they didn’t add Ad-hoc network feature in window 8. That is we can't create Wi-Fi hotspot directly. Don't worry there is another way to create Wi-Fi hotspot on Window 8 and Window 7 using a software called Virtual Router Plus.

First, check your device support this feature.

Open cmd (Command Prompt)
For Windows 8  Press Win + X
Command Prompt Shortcut keys

And Select Command Prompt (Admin)

Command Prompt open

For Windows 7
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt

And type the command:

netsh wlan show drivers

Command Prompt


And find Hosted network supported : yes/no

If yes, your device support this feature.

Then Download Virtual Router Plus here

Extract the download file and Open VirtualRouterPlus. (No Need to Install, Just Open)

Virtual Router Plus

And Enter Network Name (SSID): (Any name).

Enter the Password.

Select Shared Connection (which Internet connection you want to Share).

Then click Start Virtual Router Plus button.

Now You can broadcast your own internet and share it with your Wi-Fi mobiles, Tablet, etc

NB: After Completing WiFi Hotspot click Stop Virtual Router Plus button.
