Make WiFi hotspot on windows 8

I followed the below steps to create WiFi hotspot  on windows 8, and it works fine.
I was using USB modem as internet source, but it is the same for any internet connection.
  1. Connect your computer to the internet
  2. Open network and sharing center
  3. Open your internet connection properties
  4. From sharing tab, check "Allow other network users to connect through this ...", and from connection type list select wifi then press ok , close
  5. Download the virtual router program from http://virtual-router.net/
  6. Extract the zip file and Run the exe file. (it doesn't need setup)
  7. Open windows firewall select "Allow an app or feature through windows firewall" and add the virtual router program to the allowed list

Notes:
  • You may need to do step 4 every time you reconnect the internet, I don't know how to make this option as default.
  • If the devices cannot connect your hotspot, try to restart the virtual router program.
