Step 1
Choose a Wi-Fi router that works with your laptops. Pre-study the parameters of wireless networks to which mobile computers can connect. To do this, study the paper copy of the instructions or see the detailed information on the website of the manufacturer of these laptops.

Open the Wi-Fi router settings menu by entering its IP address in the browser field. Connect the DSL (WAN, Internet) port of the router to the Internet cable. Open the WAN menu and configure the connection to the provider's server. To do this, specify all the necessary data that you specify when setting up a direct connection to the network.

Now open the Wi-Fi menu and create your own wireless hotspot. Select such parameters of its operation so that all necessary mobile computers can connect to this network. Set a strong password to prevent your network from being hacked. Save the settings of both menus and reboot your Wi-Fi router.
Step 5
Connect mobile computers to the created Wi-Fi hotspot. Check for internet access. To view or change the wireless password, repeat the procedure to enter the router settings interface. Open the Wi-Fi menu. Find the Password field. It will display the current password required to gain access to your wireless network.
