NirSoft HostedNetworkStarter is a software tool designed for Windows 7 and later that allows users to create a Wi-Fi hotspot using their wireless network adapter. According to the vendor, this user-friendly software is suitable for small to large-sized companies in various professions and industries, including IT professionals, network administrators, small business owners, telecommunications companies, and the hospitality industry.

## Key Features

**Wi-Fi Hotspot Creation**: Users can create a Wi-Fi hotspot using their wireless network adapter and share their computer's internet connection with other devices that have Wi-Fi support.

**Simple Configuration**: The user-friendly interface allows for easy configuration of the Wi-Fi hotspot by entering the desired network name (SSID) and network key. Users also have the option to store the network key inside a configuration file with or without encryption, as per the vendor.

**Internet Connection Sharing**: The tool enables users to share both the internet connection and the network from a selected connection. This allows devices connecting to the hotspot to use the internet from the chosen network connection. According to the vendor, internet connection sharing is automatically activated and deactivated when starting and stopping the hotspot.

**Connected Devices Monitoring**: HostedNetworkStarter provides real-time information about the active hotspot, including the hosted network state, channel number, number of connected clients, and sent and received bytes. Users can also view a list of clients currently connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot.

**Command-Line Options**: Advanced users have the option to utilize command-line options to change settings. This includes the ability to start the hosted network instantly without displaying the settings window and modify network SSID, network key, share internet option, and more, as per the vendor.

**Configuration File Support**: Users can save the configuration of HostedNetworkStarter to a file for easy loading in the future. The tool supports loading the configuration from a specified file using the /cfg command-line option, allowing for automated setup of the Wi-Fi hotspot, according to the vendor.
