CONVERT YOUR WINDOWS 7/8 PC INTO WIFI HOTSPOT / ROUTER
Windows 7 has introduced the function of using the wireless functionality of your laptop not only to be used as receiver but also transmitting wireless signals. Thus your laptop works as a wifi router/hotspot and other devices could successfully connect and browse internet as you do in case of router. But this functionality is not just the operating system functionality but also requires hardware support.
There are many ways to Convert your Windows 7/8 pc into wifi Router/ Hotspot from your laptop you can do it using command prompt, using windows network setup wizard and a lot of application that make the work easy for you. But instead of wasting your time and mine as well taking you through the how to of various methods I will straight away give you the steps to create a successful wifi hotspot, the easiest way.
Steps to create wifi hotpot on your Windows 7/8 pc :
- Before you begin check that your network card supports “Hosted Network”. To do this open command prompt(admin). Alternatively you can use windows key + X to open the menu.
- On the command prompt type :
netsh wlan show drivers
- If your “Hosted network supported” entry says “yes”, than you can continue else you need to download the relevant update for your drivers.
- Download Virtual router plus from http://virtualrouterplus.com/. There are many clones of this software available which have adware so please download only from the given location.
- You can run the application directly and you don’t need to install it so just click open it.
- Enter the following details:
Type Network Name(SSID) : myHotspot (This can be any name that you want to give to your hotspot.)
Password : ViRtUaL123 (Any string as password alphanumeric, numeric or alphabetic)
Shared Connection : MTNL (It is the internet connection that connects your laptop to the internet.)
Password : ViRtUaL123 (Any string as password alphanumeric, numeric or alphabetic)
Shared Connection : MTNL (It is the internet connection that connects your laptop to the internet.)
- After you are done entering this information click “Start Virtual Router Plus” and your hotspot is ready you can look for this on your other wifi devices.
Known Issues :
- If using dial up connection, dial from windows dial-up program and not from the proprietary software supplied with internet dongles or any other connection types. You will be shown the wifi hotspot but you will not be able to browse internet.
- If you reconnect your internet connection make sure to disconnect and connect the virtual router plus utility too else you internet won’t browse.

Overheating
symptom:
Overheating can rob your laptop of performance and often cause a host of hiccups, such as system crashes and freezing. Every computer generates lots of heat, but laptops are especially susceptible to overheating due to their small size and lack of ventilation. Excessive dust can clog air vents and deprive your system of cold air to cool off the CPU. You can often solve overheating issues simply by cleaning out these air vents with a cloth or keyboard cleaner.
To prevent further dust buildup, place a piece of filtered cloth, say from a Swiffer, over the inhalation vent. Don't place one over the exhaust vent, as that's where hot air is supposed to flow out of the system quickly. If the cloth doesn't work, you may want to update your system's BIOS, which controls the laptop's hardware. Most manufacturers offer an installation file that updates BIOS files automatically, which often address heat management. Just make sure that your notebook is connected to the power supply when updating the BIOS.
