Check if your Windows PC can support creating a virtual router
Before starting, you need to verify whether your computer can support creating a virtual router. Press the Windows logo key (⊞) + S to launch the search bar, then type cmd to bring up Command Prompt. Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
For Windows 10, you can skip directly to the instructions for creating a mobile hotspot.
For Windows 8:
In the Command Prompt, type the following:
netsh wlan show drivers
Hit Enter.
If you see “Hosted network supported : Yes,” then your network adapter can create a virtual router.
If you do not see this message, you may need to update your network adapter drivers.

Create your virtual router
In the Command Prompt, type the following:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=NETWORKNAME key=PASSWORD
Name your virtual router by setting the following values:
ssid=[choose a name for your network]
key=[choose a password for your network]
Hit Enter.
You will then see this message:
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.
Congratulations! You have successfully created a virtual router.

Start your virtual router
To start your virtual router, type the following in the Command Prompt:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
Hit Enter.
If the virtual router starts successfully, you will see a message that says, “The hosted network started.”
If you get a message saying the hosted network could not be started, update your network adapter drivers.
If you do not use Windows 10, follow these next steps.

To share your virtual router on Windows 8, follow these steps.
Open the Run prompt by pressing the Windows logo key (⊞) + R, or by clicking the Start button. Type ncpa.cpl, then hit Enter or OK.

Now, look for a network connection with the description “ExpressVPN Tap Adapter.” (This example uses “Ethernet 2.”)
Right-click it and select Properties.
In the Properties window, click the Sharing tab and check the box for Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection.
