Command Prompt is a useful tool for developers.There are so many commands through which we can make computers do lots of things which are unknown to people .There are options in smart phones to switch on Wi-Fi hot spot through which the data connectivity of cell phones can be shared with other devices.Laptop too comes with a transmitter for transmitting wifi signals.There are few software available through which Wi-Fi hotspot can be switched on.In this post I will be speaking about configuring the Wi-Fi hotspot using Command Prompt.
Step1:
Run command prompt with administrator permissions.
Step 2: " netsh " is the command through which network related settings of a PC can be accessed and modified.
Best way to explore different possibilities of any command in command prompt is to type the command followed by a question mark symbol as shown in above pictures.'wlan' is the port whose settings we have to access to switch on Wi-Fi hotspot.
Step 3: Configuring the Hosted Network
Type following command in the command prompt to create a hosted network (Wi-fi Hotspot) " netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=<Enter a name for hotspot> key=<Enter a password having minimum 8 to maximum 64 characters> " using mode you are allowing the user to edit settings of the hosted network, ssid and key are the name and password of the hotspot.
Step 4: Start Hosted Network
Type following code into console to crosscheck entered data " netsh wlan show hostednetwork " 
Type this code to view entered password. " netsh wlan show hostednetwork setting=security ".
To switch on the hotspot type " netsh wlan start hosted network "
Following are the pics showing visibility of wifi hotspot on a smart phone.
Step 5:
To switch off the hosted network enter following command " netsh wlan stop hostednetwork ".
