I know there are lots of options.

 

I am trying to find one that will start up - and run - without any intervention - at boot time. 

 

Virtual Router looks really good - would run on startup, but then presents a "what shall I do now" screen. Apparently you can talk to it with some kind of supershell script but that is above my pay grade.  Perhaps someone can recommend one from experience?

My input is wifi ..... which I think makes your solution a bit hard .... ?

 

 

 

 

Are you wanting to use your current wifi connection and re broadcast that?
The only option I'd suggest for that is a TP Link repeater than can Change the SSID of the AP you are repeating.

 

 

Turn your Windows 10 PC into a mobile hotspot by sharing your Internet connection with other devices over Wi-Fi. You can share a Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or cellular data connection. If your PC has a cellular data connection and you share it, it will use data from your data plan.

 

 

 

     

  •  

    Select the Start  button, then select Settings  > Network & Internet > Mobile hotspot.

     

  •  

    For Share my Internet connection from, choose the Internet connection you want to share.

     

  •  

    Select Edit > enter a new network name and password > Save.

     

  •  

    Turn on Share my Internet connection with other devices.

     

  •  

    To connect on the other device, go to the Wi-Fi settings on that device, find your network name, select it, enter the password, and then connect.
