I have heard from a friend of mine that a laptop, computer or notebook PC with wi-fi capabilities can be turned into a wi-fi hot spot. Here are the steps on turning your computer into a hot spot.
First, you must have the following:
1. A personal computer with Wifi capabilities.
2. An ethernet connection (wired or wireless is both okay)
3. One or more PC or Cellular phone with Wifi features.
Step 1
Click on Start and go to the Control Panel. Double-click “Network Connections.”
Step 2
Right-click your wireless connection and chose Properties
Step 3
In the Wireless Network Connections Properties dialog, click the box that says, “Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings.”
Step 4
At the bottom of the dialog window, click the “Add” button to start creating your mobile hotspot.
Step 5
Enter a name for your network, select “Open” under Network Authentication. Then, under Data Encryption, select “WEP.” Input a password under “Network key” and confirm it in the next field. Then check “This is a computer-to-computer (ad-hoc) network; wireless access points are not used.” Then click OK to create your hotspot.
Step 6
Your new network will now appear under “Preferred Networks.
