choose any SSID you want. Input your desired network security key. Choose your
available internet connection (Wi-Fi, LAN) that you want to share.

Software

Connection”.
Step 5: Get back to the
“Network and Sharing Center” and click the “Ethernet” or whatever
shows in the “Connections” section. A new window will pop-up, in that
