Hello,

Almost all laptops come with Wi-Fi network adapter built-in and so, using the adapter, you can easily create a hotspot to access from your laptop and share your laptop’s internet.

1. Download and install mHotspot.

2. Start mHotspot.

3. Type your preferred hotspot name in “Hotsopot name” field.

4. Type “Password” for your hotspot.

5. Select your internet connection from “Internet Source”.

6. Select “Max Clients”, meaning that maximum connection to the hotspot allowed. It’s optional.

7. Click “Start Hotspot”.

 

If your laptop has Bluetooth,
