PC+Wireless router

Doesn't your router support wireless connectivity?

You could also run a series of netsh wlan commands in command prompt in order to create a 'virtual WiFi' using your Ethernet connected laptop/desktop without having to download any programme.

To do this method; first you want to set the settings of your hostednetwork by opening CMD as Administrator, enter in
" netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=insert your SSID here key=Your Password here

(note that the key must be 8-64 characters long)

now leave your cmd window open as you will come back to that.

Now you want to open Run > type in " ncpa.cpl " > then on your Ethernet connection, right-click > Properties > navigate to the 'Sharing' tab and check the first box that says "Allow other network users to connect through..." > Ok

Then go back to your cmd (command prompt) window and enter in the following command:
"netsh wlan start hostednetwork" - this should then start your virtual WiFi and you can start connecting your devices to it.
