Windows Auto Hotspot 🛜

Windows Auto Hotspot makes your PC share internet automatically.

When your Ethernet cable is connected, it turns the Windows Mobile Hotspot ON.
When the cable is disconnected, it turns the hotspot OFF.

It is made for normal users, with simple shortcuts in the Start Menu. No Task Scheduler setup is needed.

Who is this for

• People who use Ethernet on a PC or laptop
• People who want to share internet to phone, tablet, VR headset, or another device
• People who want it to work automatically after installing

Install (One-Line) 🚀

Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:

$u='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luizbizzio/windows-auto-hotspot/main/windows_auto_hotspot.ps1'; $p=Join-Path $env:TEMP 'windows_auto_hotspot.ps1'; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $u -OutFile $p; & powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $p -Install -SourceUrl $u

When Windows asks for permission, click Yes.

What you get after installing ✅

After installation, you will find a Windows Auto Hotspot folder in the Start Menu with shortcuts like:

• WAH - Disable
• WAH - Enable
• WAH - Open Log
• WAH - Status
• WAH - Toggle
• WAH - Uninstall

This makes it easy to use without typing commands.

Before you install (one-time Windows setup)

Configure your hotspot once in Windows:

1. Open Settings
2. Go to Network & Internet
3. Open Mobile hotspot
4. Set your network name (SSID) and password
5. Make sure sharing is set to Wi-Fi

After this, the app can manage it automatically.

How to use (easy mode) 📘

After installing, open the Start Menu and use the shortcuts:

• WAH - Enable: turns automation on
• WAH - Disable: turns automation off
• WAH - Toggle: switches between enabled and disabled
• WAH - Status: shows Ethernet, hotspot, and task status
• WAH - Open Log: opens the log file
• WAH - Uninstall: removes everything

How it works (simple) ⚙️

• Ethernet connected → hotspot turns ON
• Ethernet disconnected → hotspot turns OFF
• It keeps monitoring in the background
• It starts automatically when you log in

Requirements ⚠️

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• Administrator permission (for install/uninstall)
• A Wi-Fi adapter
• An Ethernet connection (built-in or USB Ethernet adapter)

Good to know

• This is best for Ethernet to Wi-Fi sharing
• Great for laptops, including setups where the laptop stays plugged in
• You can use WAH - Status anytime to check if everything is working

Uninstall ❌

Use WAH - Uninstall from the Start Menu.

It removes the scheduled task, shortcuts, installed files, and app state.
