Almost all of us use internet heavily on our iDevices. But this requires a WiFi connection through a WiFi router. Today we will be showing you a way through which you can use WiFi on any of your iDevices WITHOUT a WiFi router. This guide will help you make a wireless network directly from your laptop and share your laptops internet connection with your iDevice.





Note : This guide is only for Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7. A separate guide for Mac may be posted in the near future.

Requirements :

* Laptop
* Windows OS
* Antivirus
* A separate internet connection such as DSL


Use WiFi Without A Router On Your iDevice [How To] :

1) Disable your firewall from either Windows Firewall or the antivirus. Activate every other settings from the antivirus so you stay protected.

2) Open the Network and Sharing Center from either Control Panel or by clicking the small internet button on the bottom right.



3) Click on “Set up a new connection or network”.


4) Select “Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network”.


5) A window will pop up displaying all the information you need to know about an ad hoc network. Click Next.

6) Enter all the required information and click “Next”. If you want to set up a password protected Wireless Network, you need to enter a 10 digit password. Choose the letters of your password from a to e or 1 to 4 eg. aabbccddee, aabbccbbaa etc.

7) Now you will see another window which shows on the bottom that says “Turn on internet connection sharing”. Click that area which displays this message. If you don’t see that option, then it’s not a big issue as you can still use your Wireless Network that you just set up. Then click “Close”.

Now you can use WiFi on your iDevice without a WiFi Router as you are now sharing your laptop's internet connection with your iDevice. In other words, your laptop is now your WiFi Router.
