Virtual Wifi command

I see there is some softwares that can provide you virtual wifi, but it doesn't really required you to download this software, all you need to do is below two commands

click on windows -> Run-> CMD
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="MySSID" key="Mykey" 
netsh wlan start hostednetwork


Detailed steps


1.

Enable VirtualWifi

You must run a command line with admin rights.
Type in:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="MySSID" key="Mykey" keyUsage=persistent
Leave the commanline-window open
2.

Check the new virtual wifi adaptor

Go to your Device Manager and check if you see a "Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adaptor" when expand the network adaptors.
If you check your wireless network cards in your network and sharing center you´ll see a second wireless network connection.
3.

Start the virtual network card

Go back to the admin-rights command shell and type in:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
