How to create WiFi Hotspot when connected to a wireless network with 2 network adapters in Windows 8.1?

I have 2 wireless network adapters - internal and external, so I want to create hotspot on second one while using 1st one for wireless connection. Apart from Connectify software.


Solution 1:

I Figured it out using CMD and providing a small tut so that others can benefit:-

1.To create a virtual WLAN network (HotSpot) enter in Elevated CMD:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=yourhotspotname key=YourPassword
2. Then start the HotSpot by giving the following command: netsh wlan start hostednetwork
3. Go to Adapter settings>choose wifi(external/internal which is connected to Internet)>properties>sharing>tick on allow other network and select newly created virtual adapter(with asterisk sign).
4. Hotspot is now online, to stop it enter in CMD: netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
5. Turning the computer off or rebooting also turns the HotSpot off. However, the HotSpot still exists (it "survives" the reboot); from now on you only need to turn it on when needed with the
netsh wlan start hostednetwork command.
