Windows – WiFi Hotspot without any Password

networkingpasswordswindowswindows 10wireless-networking

I am interested to know is there any way to create a WiFi hotspot in Windows 10 without using any password…

I know the command with password…

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Myhotspot key=password
netsh start hosted network

It only starts hotspot with a password protection. I searched the whole Internet but I can't find any proper answer…

Once I have seen "connectify Hotspot" created an OPEN WiFi network with my PC… So I think it can also be done in command line. I don't want to use third-party software so please help me to solve this problem.

I know that this question is over 2 years old, but I feel that an answer would still be necessary here.

The reason why you can't find a proper answer to this is because unfortunately, you really aren't able to create a hotspot through the netsh command without a password (as far as I've seen). I don't think that the command was made with this option.

I'm pretty sure that Connectify doesn't use netsh. My guess is that it uses one of the drivers that are installed with Connectify to set up a hotspot. Again, this is just a guess - I don't know too much about Connectify and its internal functioning.
