Hi Elite Hackers!

Welcome! to my 4th post. This tutorial will explain, how to extend a (hacked) AP's range with a wireless adapter. I made this guide because after hacking an AP it was difficult to connect to it (poor connection) and further exploit it. You can also use this:

1) If you don't have a Router

2) If you want to extend range of your own Router/Wi-Fi/AP

Connect Your Wireless Adapter:

Here, I will be using TP-LINK TL-WN822Nv3 Wireless Adapter.

Wireless USB network adapter with dual antennas.

Host a Network:

Copy this in a notepad and save it as Host.bat (this will create a batch file)

You can also go to network setting and then create an Ad-Hoc network, but that doesn't work in Windows 8 , So:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@echo off

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=D.I.E key=diediedie keyUsage=temporary

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

pause


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(don't paste these lines "----")

  • SSID is the name of hosted network.
  • KEY is the password/passphrase.

Open the Batch File:

OPEN IT WITH ADMINISTRATOR PRIVILEGES

Result:

Command prompt displaying network status update.

If an error like this appears: "Cannot host network, device or resource busy...." Inform me in the Comments section.

Grant It Internet Access:

  • Open Control Panel.
  • Go to Network and Internet.
  • Then Network and Sharing Center.
  • At the left side/pane, click on Change adapter settings.
Network and Sharing Center settings on Windows, displaying network connections and access types.
  • You should see a Local Area Connection* 13 (D.I.E) this is your hosted network and you should also see a Wi-Fi (TP-Link... for me) connection
Network connections window showing various network adapters and their statuses.
  • If you don't see a Local Area Connection... Then:
  1. Press Windows Key + R, type devmgmt.msc in the Run dialog box and hit Enter, this should open Device Manager.
  2. In the Device Manager window, expand Network adapters, from the list pick the microsoft virtual adapter, right click and select ENABLE.
  3. Then follow this guide again.
  • Now using your Wireless Adapter, connect to a network (a hacked network which you want to extend it's Range)
  • I have a list of hacked APs in my locality:
How to Extend a (Hacked)Router's Range with a Wireless Adapter.

I will use the first one's internet connection.

Here:

Wi-Fi network settings interface displaying available networks.

After SUCCESSFUL connection, get back to Network Connections window.

  • Right Click on the Wi-Fi connection, then select Properties.
  • Go to sharing tab, then check the two check boxes.
  • Choose Local Area Connection* 13 (or other) under the Home Networking Connection.
Wi-Fi properties settings screen with network sharing options.
  • Click OK.

INTERNET ACCESS GRANTED:

  • You have successfully extended the range of the Hacked AP.
  • There you go your new Wi-Fi!
  • REMEMBER TO CONNECT TO YOUR HOSTED NETWORK (D.I.E.) instead of connecting to hacked AP of-course.
  • Also you will have to keep your PC on, you can change the settings of the wireless adapter so that it does not turn off when PC goes to SLEEP.

HAVE FUN!

Keep using your Neighbour's Wi-Fi for free, always, forever, no connection delays or timeouts.

Keep your android connected to it. Use it as much as you can, it's yours.

Thank You!
