How to Use your Windows10 PC as a Wireless Hotspot



Back in WindowsXp and Windows7, I used to share my PC's network resources to other PC via a wireless connection.
Either, it is for an internet connectivity or connecting into a distant control system of a machine in an industrial plant for doing some remote maintenance. It was known as AdHoc network back then.

This setup might not be the best with what the current technology can offer. But for some instances, it helps me a lot.

Here is how I did it with my Windows10 PC.

Check if your wireless adapter supports "Hosted Network"
1. Open the Command Prompt as administrator
2. Verify if the wireless adapter support Hosted Network using the command:
    netsh wlan show drivers

If the wireless adapter isn't supported then it is no luck to proceed. I suggest to try a USB wireless adapter that can support Hosted Network.

Create a wireless Hosted Network
1. While still in the command prompt, use the following command to create a Hosted Network:
    netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=<SSID> key=<Password>


2. Once Hosted Network is created, activate it by the following command:
    netsh wlan start hostednetwork


Share the internet connection to the Hosted Network
At this point, a Hosted Network is already created and activated. Any WiFi capable devices can now connect with this hosted network. However, the internet connectivity is not yet accessible. It needs to be shared first using the Internet connection sharing feature.

1. Go to Network Connections
2. Right-click the network adapter where an internet connection reside
3. Select the Properties
4. Click the Sharing tab
5. Check the Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection option
6. Select the Microsoft Hosted Virtual Adapter (where the created Hosted Network reside) from the drop-down menu of Home networking connection
7. Click OK to finish

The Walking Dead - Season 4 Episode 16



"A"
A flashback shows Rick, Hershel and company at the prison after Rick returns from a bloody run. In present time, Rick sits by a car covered in blood. A day before, Rick, Carl, and Michonne are continuing making their way to Terminus. In the forest, a man is attacked by a swarm of walkers, which then follows the trio. They escape the walkers and come upon an abandoned car. They stay the night there. During the night, Joe and the Claimers ambush Rick and Michonne. Carl, in the car, is attacked by Dan, a claimer. Daryl walks up, oblivious to the fact that Joe wants to kill Rick. Dan continues to attempt to rape Carl. The other Claimers continue to beat Daryl. Rick hits Joe and then bites his neck, killing him. Michonne gets the upper hand of Tony and shoots him and Daryl kills the two others beating him. Rick then brutally stabs Dan to death, while Michonne holds Carl close. Rick then sits by the car where he was in the first scene and talks to Daryl about what has happened before then. The four continue toward Terminus through the woods. Before entering Terminus, Rick hides his bag including his revolver and supplies. Carl talks to Michonne about his thoughts on murdering people. Michonne tells him of her son's death. They embrace while Michonne tells Carl that she'll keep him safe and so will Rick. They enter Terminus and meet Gareth and Alex. Alex shows them around. While Rick looks around he sees Glenn and Maggie's gear. Then he sees and takes Glenn's watch from Alex and holds a gun to his head. Everyone raises their weapons. Gareth distracts Rick while Mary readies to shoot Rick. Rick spins around and Mary shoots Alex in the head. The four run while in the firefight. They come to a dead end and are forced to drop their weapons. Gareth threatens to kill Carl unless they all go into the boxcar. They go into the boxcar and are locked in. In the boxcar they find Glenn, Maggie, Sasha, Bob, Tara, Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita, all being held as prisoners. The group doesn't know what to do. Rick remarks that "they're screwing with the wrong people".

The Walking Dead - Season 4 Episode 15



"Us"

Glenn, Tara, Abraham, Eugene and Rosita are on the tracks when Glenn spots one of Maggie's signs and begins pursuing Maggie. Rick, Carl and Michonne are ahead, with Carl and Michonne competing on who can walk on the rails the longest. Meanwhile, Daryl and Len, one of the marauders, are hunting when they each put an arrow into a rabbit. Len then "claims" the rabbit and argues with Daryl before the marauders' leader, Joe, interrupts them. Joe explains to Daryl that the group has one rule: if they want something, they claim it. He then cuts the rabbit in half for Daryl and Len, since the former was not aware of the rule. While walking on the tracks, Joe encourages Daryl to stay with them, although he informs him that whoever lies or steals from the group will take a severe beating. After the group spends the night in a railroad platform, Daryl awakens to Len accusing him of stealing his half of the rabbit. Daryl's bag contains the other half. While Daryl pleads that he was set up, Joe then reveals that he witnessed Len put the rabbit in Daryl's bag, and begins beating up Len with the group. Upon leaving camp with the group, Daryl sees Len's beaten body with an arrow in its head. Joe informs Daryl that they are tracking a man (Rick), who had killed one of their own and may be headed to Terminus. When Glenn's group approaches a tunnel, with a sign by Maggie to proceed, Abraham decides it is too big of a risk to Dr. Porter and leaves Glenn and Tara with supplies to proceed, and tells Glenn and Tara to return to the last road they passed if they have trouble getting through. Inside the tunnel, Glenn and Tara are overwhelmed by walkers, but they are rescued by Maggie, Sasha and Bob, alongside Abraham's group. Eugene convinces Abraham to go to Terminus with the others, as the place can be a "home base" for them before continuing to Washington, D.C. The merged group enters Terminus with ease and observes the tranquility of the compound. A woman named Mary welcomes them and offers them something to eat.
