To turn your Windows 7 laptop into a Wi-Fi router to share your USB modem internet connection, you have a couple of options. You can either use built-in Windows features or software tools. Here are the steps to achieve this:

Method 1: Using Windows 7 Features​

1. Set up Ad-Hoc Network:
   • Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center.
   • Click on "Set up a new connection or network."
   • Select "Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network."
   • Follow the wizard to set up the network with a name and security settings.
   []Share Internet Connection:
   • Go to Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings.
   • Right-click on your USB modem connection and select Properties.
   • Go to the Sharing tab and check "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection."

     Method 2: Using Third-Party Software (e.g., Connectify)​

   []Download and Install Third-Party Software:
   • You can use software like Connectify to create a virtual Wi-Fi hotspot on your laptop.
   • Install the software and follow the setup process to configure the hotspot.

     Method 3: Intel My WiFi Technology​

   []Check Compatibility:
   • Ensure your laptop supports Intel My WiFi Technology. This feature may not be available on all Dell laptops.
   []Configuration:
   • If your laptop supports Intel My WiFi, you can access the settings through the Intel My WiFi dashboard.
   • Follow the instructions within the Intel My WiFi application to set up and share your internet connection. By following these steps, you should be able to turn your Windows 7 laptop into a Wi-Fi router to share your internet connection with your mobile devices. Feel free to ask if you need more detailed instructions or encounter any issues during the setup process.
