Connect Broadband 3G USB modem internet from your Laptop to Android / iPhone with Wifi

11:43 AM

Why to pay extra for the Mobile internet services when you already have the home braodband. If you consider your per month $20.00 for your mobile internet that accounts for $240.00 a year and in 5 years that comes to $1200.00 Why should you just waste such huge money on something just to check the notifications on Facebook or the Tweet from your favs.  Also if you have noticed that even you set up a Ad Hoc connection from your laptop that is not being recognised by your phone.But never to worry about i have come up with an idea to solve your problem. I am laying the path for you how to connect your home broadband connection on your internet to your phone without any wireless router. Yes without any router, without any additional software and with out any much hiccup. All you have to do is a series of steps and you are done.

Steps in Windows 7:

Step-1: Open "RUN" (in admin mode)





Then right click it and select "Run as Administrator" option.

Step-2: Start your Wireless Network by enabling the Network Switch located in your Laptop. My switch for Dell Inspiron is on the right side( push it forward)

Step-3: Copy paste the below command to create an access ID for your device

"netsh  wlan  set  hostednetwork  mode=allow  ssid=phonewifi  key=Kareena123  keyusage=persistent"

Note: You can set any name  to  this access point by replacing 'funkywifi' with your required
name.Similarly you can give any password/security key  instead of 'password123' that must
be a string with 8 to 63 ASCII characters.
If  keyUsage  is  specified  as  'persistent',  the  security  key will  be saved and used when the hosted network  is started again  in future. Otherwise it will be used only when the current or
next  time the hosted network is started. Once the hosted network is stopped, the temporary
security key will be deleted  from  the system.  If keyUsage is not specified, it is persistent by
default.If you want to keep the password temporary replace 'persistent' with temporary'.

3. Once  the  command  executes  successfully. You  can  check  your  newly  created  hosted
network configuration by typing the following on the same command prompt window:
netsh wlan show hostednetwork
Now  that  you  have  configured  the  access  point  network,  follow  step  no.  6  to  share your
broadband or lan connection.
4. Now  that you have configured a hosted network named 'funkywifi', you need to start it by
the following command on the same command window:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork

Now you can check  the same by opening either 'Network and sharing center' or by clicking
connection button in right corner of taskbar.
5. To stop the connection type the following :
netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
[Remember  everytime  you  do  this  ,  all  these  commands  except  the  commands  in  step 3
and  5  needs  administrative  privilages.Hence  you  should  follow  the  first step for doing the
same.]

If  you  don't  like  to  type  all  these  lines  every  time  you  start  your network, then skip steps
2,3,4  &  5.  You  can  save  the  three  commands  as  discussed  in  steps 2,4 and 5 in three
different  batch  files, which  can  do  the  same  task  if  you  run  them  as  administrator.To do
this,  type  the  command  of  my  2nd  Step  i.e,  "netsh  wlan  set  hostednetwork
mode=allow ssid=funkywifi key=password123 keyusage=persistent"  in Notepad.exe
and save it as "sethostednetwork.BAT".
Similarly  save "netsh wlan  start hostednetwork"  as start.BAT  and "netsh wlan  stop
hostednetwork" as 'stop.BAT".
Now  to creat or configure a new connection you can right click on "sethostednetwork.BAT"
file icon and click on 'run as administrator'.

To start the connection right click on "start.BAT" file icon and click on 'run as administrator'.
To stop the connection right click on "stop.BAT" file icon and click on 'run as administrator'.
If  you  want  to  change  username  and  password  just  right  click  on  the
"sethostednetwork.BAT"  file  icon  and  click  on  edit  option.  After  replacing  the existing
username or password save it.
6. Now  this  is an  important step without this you can't share your laptop internet. For doing
this go  to  'Network and sharing center' and click on 'Change adapter settings'. If you find it
difficult to find it, just type 'Network and sharing center' as search phrase.

Identify your broadband connection or your PC internet connection (for me it is 'Local Ar
Connection')  ,  right  click  and  goto  properties  and  then  click  onto sharing tab.Check t
"Internet Connection Sharing"  button  and  select  your  home  network  connection  from  t
given options  in the same tab for me it is "Wireless Network Connection 2".Now click ok a
you are done.

:P Not yet ! ! 
7.  Once  you  can  see  your  hosted  network  in  'Network  and  sharing  center', go to
Settings>Wireless and network>Wi-Fi Settings in your android device , and tap on "Turn on
Wi-Fi" button.  It will automatically detect your PC/Laptop wifi network. On clicking the same
connection in your mobile you only have to give the password and tap on 'connect' button.
Once connected you can use your PC/Laptop internet.
