How I Use My Computer / Laptop as WiFi Hotspot without any Software

Do you have a computer or laptop? You have been trying to create a wifi hotspot just like you do on your android devices.

This tutorial am sharing today, you don’t need apps or any software before you can create or host a wifi hotspot on your computer. Well you might not know this feature is available on windows os or mac os and I've tested both and it's working perfectly well.

Instead of you using your smartphone internet using its inbuilt hotspot you can apply the step by step guide and get it done on your computer, with what I noticed many computer (pc) users download various software to make their computer or laptop a WiFi hotspot which might contain spyware and adware, which might get you angry seeing these things.

So I suggest you not to download any of such softwares, instead use this my detailed and easy tutorial which am going to teach you right now.

How to use your Computer as WiFi hotspot

Note: like I said this could work on mac and windows operating system.

Firstly, I will be sharing two (2) various ways on
how to open a wifi hotspot using command prompt.

FIRST METHOD USING COMMAND PROMPT

1. Click Start for windows or Mac Button for Mac
2. Type or search for Command Prompt into the search box. This will bring up the command prompt icon.
3. Right click command prompt and click run as administrator. This option is available only via right click drop down menu.
4. Click Yes. Then command prompt should open
5. Type “Netsh wlan show drivers” and press enter. Note: command will display information to help you confirm that your computer can create a hotspot with the command prompt.
6. Look for “Yes” next to “Hosted Network Supported” if you see yes that means your computer supports the hosted network feature.
7. Now type the code below into command prompt.
8. “Netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=entclass key=entclassblog” 
9. And press enter. Make sure to replace “entclass” and “entclassblog” text with what you want your hotspot name and password to be.
10. Type “Netsh wlan start hosted network” and press enter. This will turn on your wifi hotspot
11. Exit command prompt if you like, now enjoy your hotspot. (Don't include the quote marks).

Google rolling out Cleanup Feature for Chrome on Windows

If you are among of those who go outside Chrome Web Store in search of Add-ons, Google is saying it's very risky. Furthermore, Google has officially announced that it is taking further steps to alert users about malicious extensions/setting changes.

The first of these changes quietly rolled out last month. Chrome now detects when any browser settings have been changed without user interaction, and will offer to revert the changes.

You've probably seen installers that ask to change your homepage or search engine (Java, I'm looking at you), or ones that do it without your knowledge. Chrome will detect these changes, and the next time you open the browser, it will ask to restore the original settings.

Secondly, Chrome on Windows will have some form of antivirus built-in, called Chrome Cleanup. Google says that the browser will prompt you when it finds 'suspicious or unwanted programs' on your PC (details here), and give you the option to remove them.

Google worked with ESET to utilize its detection engine for this feature to work, but the company is quick to note that Chrome Cleanup is not a general-purpose antivirus. It sounds like this feature will replace the standalone Chrome Cleanup desktop program, which had a similar purpose.

Google also says Chrome Cleanup isn't a general-purpose antivirus, which means users would still need separate software, leaving them with two programs constantly scanning their PC. If you ask me, this is just another performance eater, especially when it comes to RAM usage.

The Chrome Clean up feature will only be available for Chrome for Windows. It will not be included on Chrome for Mac and Linux.

You can now Order Food directly from Facebook

Facebook has been adding lots of interesting features to its platform. On first adding features to the desktop version, it's also been released to the official mobile app too. Now, the company has announced that you can now order for food directly on Facebook without leaving the site.

It's also interesting to know that Facebook has added some services to take care of the delivery. Seems Facebook is taking this service seriously. Below are the companies to take care of the delivery according to Facebook's blog post.

• Delivery.com
• DoorDash
• ChowNow
• Zuppler
• EatStreet
• Olo

In introducing this, Facebook stated:

"Ordering food for takeout or delivery is supposed to be simple. That’s the point. But somehow it’s gotten complicated. First you need to decide what to eat, then you have to sift through a bunch of options and services."

This feature is currently available to all Android, iOS and desktop users in the US. Although, the feature is yet to hit Android devices but it should arrive soon or later, as it's live on desktop version.

To order for food or try out this feature, just navigate to the Explore menu and then to the Order Food section. There, you will be presented with several options from which you can choose from; once you've selected what you want, select Start Order.

You will also see if the restaurant in question offers takeout or delivery. After all of this, you have the option to select the service you wish to use — the example in the blog post is that you may already have an account with Delivery.com and want to use them, or you can create a new account without leaving Facebook.
