How to create a wifi hotspot using wifi connection

Question

I am very new to ubuntu . I am using ubuntu 14.04.01 and i am using a wifi connection and i don't have a lan connection. I want to create a wifi hotspot using this connection. I searched on sites but i only get the methods to create it with lan.

I tried http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/02/wifi-hotspot-ubuntu-laptop-android/

thanks in advance.

Go to settings and click on Network

Now click on Wireless(if not already selected) and then click on "Use as Hotspot"(below list of available networks)

Click on turn on (It may ask for name, password, encryption type etc. if you haven't ever used it.)

This method works for me...
