Here\u2019s how the whole thing works.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to a hidden virtual Wi-Fi adapter feature in Windows, you can even create a Wi-Fi hotspot while you\u2019re connected to another Wi-Fi network or wireless router, sharing one Wi-Fi connection over another one.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Share_Your_PCs_Internet_Connection\"><\/span>Why Share Your PC\u2019s Internet Connection?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons to share your PC\u2019s internet connection via a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/352265\/what-is-a-wi-fi-hotspot\/\">Wi-Fi hotspot.

If your desktop or laptop has built-in Wi-Fi, you can use that to create a Wi-Fi hotspot, then connect your phone (or any other wireless device) to the hotspot.<\/p>\n<p>All of your device\u2019s wireless traffic is then routed back along the Ethernet line, giving you significantly better performance.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Encrypt_Traffic_Through_a_VPN_Running_on_Your_PC\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Encrypt Traffic Through a VPN Running on Your PC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/368332\/wi-fi-6-what%E2%80%99s-different-and-why-it-matters\/\">Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E use WPA3, which enables encryption on public Wi-Fi networks. But not all networks you\u2019ll encounter use those standards yet. If you want to encrypt all of your wireless traffic on a Wi-Fi network, you can fire up a VPN on your PC (probably a laptop), then connect all of your wireless devices to that laptop\u2019s hotspot. Then all of your traffic will be encrypted, and you don\u2019t need to worry about whether or not someone is snooping on your online activity.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Circumvent_Per-Device_Fees\"><\/span>Circumvent Per-Device Fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes you\u2019ll be in a hotel room, on a plane, or elsewhere, and you\u2019ll find that the Wi-Fi network has per-device fees. Not interested in that?

An ad-hoc network is really just a simple, direct network connection between devices. In this case, you\u2019ll be creating an ad-hoc network between your PC\u2019s wireless connection and any wireless devices you want to connect. You just need to make sure that your wired connection is set up and that the PC does have Wi-Fi available.<\/p>\n<p>Note that when you set up an ad-hoc network using your PC\u2019s Wi-Fi, it will disable\u00a0any existing connection that uses that Wi-Fi adapter.
