Wifi dongle to Wifi hotspot : Windows 7 FundaZ

Recently I've got a new funda on windows 7 that I am going to share with all of you. I've a USB Wifi dongle and I want to share internet connection of my computer via this USB dongle to my adbroid smartphone and Tablets (both are Wifi enabled). I just don't want to buy a new tata photon/internet dongles only for the tables or GPRS enable for my smart phone :D..
I've tikona broadband having a good internet speed in my computer and I just want to share the connection to other devices --

 HOW CAN I DO THIS ??

- after lots of googling I found the solutions and the steps are below ---

1. This tricks only works with computer operating system - Windows 7 or later. Thats why I'd formatted my PC with Win7.

2. Now plugged my NETGEAR WG111v2

3. Update the driver and firmwire - this is the must thing you need to do...I've downloaded the firmwire --> WG111v2_v4.0.0 from netgear official site. Now this device can be ready to make the wifi hotspot.
- Windows 7 may do the driver update automatically (using internet update) but you need to update the firmware manually.

4. Check your device is ready or not ?? open cmd from run as administrator and just copy/paste the below command --> netsh wlan show drivers 

following screen would be displayed in command prompt -->

check the Hosted network support--> this is YES here..that means your device can perform as a hotspot..

If this is no..don't worry - you need to update just the firmware and driver again and then restart your machine..

5. Now start the wifi server from your PC so that the devices can find the wifi server. This can be done in two methods -

a. You can install a software named "Virtuel Router manager" and start the server providing SSID (your choice) and password (your choice :D )

b. If you are advanced user, just run cmd as administrator and copy/paste the following code --

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Test key=password

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

The CMD response would be following - 

The hosted network mode has been set to allow.
The SSID of the hosted network has been successfully changed.
The user key passphrase of the hosted network has been successfully changed.

6. Now check if your devices (smartphone/tablet) can find the server..

**please provide the password so that only the authenticated users can connect..

7. Now check once if internet is opening from your tablet..if yes then ENJOY..if No then do the steps below --

8.  You need to check the ICS - Internet connection sharing is enabled or not..For this please open the property of your LAN connection/Internet connection of your PC..Go to Properties..there you can find a Tab named Sharing --> check ICS

flow --> 

Network and Sharing Center --> Change adaptop setting --> choose your adaptor.modem --> right click and open properties --> go to Sharing tab

Make sure your setting is same as the screenshot below -->

9. Done..Now once disable and enable your internet connection and wifi hotspot. Next try internet or apps from your tab/smartphone..I hope it would works perfectly...

ENJOY :D

If you have any problem..you can place your comment here..I would check and try to revert if I have the solution :D
