HostedNetworkStarter: Host WiFi Hotspot on Windows

HostedNetworkStarter is a small utility that allows you to easily host a WiFi hotspot on your Windows computer without additional software. It provides a simple interface to start, stop, and configure a hosted network.

What is HostedNetworkStarter?

HostedNetworkStarter is a free, open-source Windows application that provides an easy way to set up a WiFi hotspot on your computer. Unlike the built-in mobile hotspot feature in Windows, HostedNetworkStarter does not require any additional network adapters or hardware.

With a simple interface, you can start and stop the hosted network, set the SSID and password, configure the type of security, and choose the network band. It works by using the Microsoft Hosted Network feature introduced in Windows 7.

Key features include:

• Quickly toggle your hotspot on and off
• Customize SSID and password for your network
• Select security type (WEP, WPA2)
• Set 2.4GHz or 5GHz band for hotspot
• Auto-start hotspot when Windows boots up
• Lightweight and portable

If you need to occasionally share your internet connection with other devices through WiFi, HostedNetworkStarter makes it very straightforward to transform your Windows computer into a wireless access point. It's a simple alternative to more complex hotspot manager tools.
