How to distribute Wi-Fi from a laptop: secrets for users

Modern people often require access to the Internet from different devices. Let's say that a netbook has access to Wi-Fi networks, and Internet access is on another PC. How in this case to distribute Wi-Fi from the laptop?

Mobile devices are already capable of supporting technologies that were not available five years ago, even for stationary computers. To be more precise, conventional PCs do not need a wireless connection, as they usually have a cable connection to the Internet.

First of all, in order to distribute Wi-Fi from the laptop, you need to make sure that the module is capable of this. As a rule, if the model is produced later than 2008, then this step can be skipped. Now you need to activate the module with hot keys. After this step, create a network. How to create it? To do this, go to the control panel, from where we go to the tab "Network and the Internet." There is a section "Managing wireless networks," and there we create a new network. In order to distribute Wi-Fi from the laptop, you need to create a computer-to-computer network. If it is used only at home, then you can not protect it with a password, but for security it would be better to install the WPA2 protocol.

Well, the first step is complete. Now you need to redirect the existing Internet connection to the created network. In fact, it is worth remembering that it is possible to distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi from the laptop only for netbooks, laptops, and also for the iPhone, since other devices simply will not see such a network.

Go ahead. Now go to the properties of our connection to the Internet and go to the tab "Access to the connection." After that, you need to check "enable other users to use the connection". Next, you need to restart the computer. And everything - the network is ready to use.

Distributing Wi-Fi from a laptop may not be such a difficult task. There is a program called ConnectifyHotspot. There are times when the network is installed, but can not use the Internet connection. Then distribute Wi-Fi from the laptop will be obtained only with the help of the above program.

But here there is a minus - it is non-Russian, it will have to be paid for its acquisition. If you know English, and the question of buying is not a problem for you, then you need to do the same first step, then write the name of the network, the password from it, and also choose which connection you need to share. To do this, in the lowest line, select the network into which we need to redirect the connection. The limitations of devices that can use Wi-Fi are not here.

It is worth remembering that such an access point is undesirable for permanent use, especially if there is no access to the power supply. Connecting to Wi-Fi even in client mode requires a lot of power, and as an access point the laptop will not last more than an hour. In addition, you need to have a high-speed connection that will ensure normal surfing to all clients connected to it. It is also necessary to monitor the signal strength, since this connection is set to 10-15 meters and is quite sensitive to obstacles.
