It is quite possible to distribute the Internet via wi fi without using a router. You just need to use the capabilities of the laptop, which are included in it from the factory. For convenience, it is best to use special programs, after that distributing wi fi using a laptop does not require much effort.
The first step is to download the software to your computer. There are 2 versions: paid and free. For home use, the Lite version (free) is quite suitable.
We launch the program. Coming up with a network name and password.
Next are the fields:
- "Internet to Share". Here you should indicate the connection through which the network on the computer works.
- “Share Over”. We select the type of connection through which the distribution of the Internet will be carried out.
- “Sharing Mode”. We select the type of adapter operation. For the unknowing user, the “Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc, Encrypted” mode is great.
After the above manipulations, click on the "Start Hotspot" button.
