ii)MypublicWifimywifirouter virtual wifi software.This software is free.Though there is many virtual wifi software for example mhotspot , virtual wifi plus and more but this works me best on windows 8.0 PC and TP LINK wifi usb adapter.Though connectify is best but it’s not free.

iii)Internet connection on PC or laptop via USB Dongle or Broadband or anything.

Note: I am writing this tutorial based on windows 8.In other operating system the process may vary.

Step by Step Guide:

Create wifi hotspot:

2.Go to “Control PanelNetwork and InternetNetwork and Sharing Center” on your computer.An wifi device would be shown as seen below.

3.Right Click on “Wi Fi” and Click “Properties”. A drop down list appears , scroll down the list you discover “Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4)”, select it and click properties.The properties should look like this.Check “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”. Click ok and exit.

4.Install Mypublicwifi and open it with administrative access.To open with administrative access , right click on desktop mypublicwifi icon  and click “Run As Administrator”.

5. Check on “Automatic Hot spot Configuration”.
i)Input network name(SSID) as you wish ,i choose it as Androidadvise.com
ii)Network key i.e. password to protect wifi at least 8 character.
iii)If you enable internet service check “enable internet service” and choose from where you want to share your internet.I am sharing from Ethernet, as seen below.

Now click on “Set up and Start Hotspot”.When all process will be done you see “Stop Hotspot” button will appear.
If mypublic wifi does not work, then try mypublicrouter.
6.Now go to ; “Control PanelNetwork and InternetNetwork and Sharing Center”

So, you have to enable internet sharing.

Right click on “Ethernet ” or from where you selected in step 5.iii to share internet. Click “properties” and go to “sharing” tab.

Check “sharing” and select “Local Area Connection*13” and click ok.In your case there may be “Local Area Connection 14 or 12 or anything may appear”.

Now your connection is shared.As shown above.

Check on “Control PanelNetwork and InternetNetwork and Sharing Center”

You have done all the process to create wifi hotspot.

Proceed to next step of accessing internet.

Connect Internet On Phone:

1. Switch on wifi on Phone. Automticlly virtul wifi will become visible.
In my case Androidadvise.com is visible.

2. Touch on the visible device you created and input password i.e. network key.It will take few seconds.

3. Wait for few seconds and you will be connected.
Now you are connected with wifi without paying regular fees for mobile.Start enjoying your new wifi.
