In depth
A closer look at HostedNetworkStarter
Smartphones and tablets usually have integrated hotspot creation options but that is not the case with regular desktop computers. It is possible to share your wired Internet connection with other devices in case no wireless router is available but this operation requires a bit of experience with the command prompt. An easier way is to use an application that can create and configure the new hosted network for you. One of the many choices out there is suggestively called HostedNetworkStarter Following a simple setup process, you are introduced to a well-organized interface and prompted to enter the details for the new hosted network. To initiate a new connection, you must enter the desired network name (SSID) and the security key, for start. For your convenience, HostedNetworkStarter can be instructed to remember the network key and include it in the configuration file, with or without encrypting the data (it is advisable you encrypt the data so as not to risk exposing your password). You can also choose the connection you want to share via the hosted network and set a maximum number of connected devices, in order to avoid overcrowding the network.
