I have a broad band internet connection. When I dial the dialer it connects to internet. Thing needs to mention that I dont need any modem or anything for dialing purpose. I want to make a wifi hopspot with that connection. As I dont have any static IP there in the connection.
I need to connect my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 to internet using that wifi connection.

How Can I make a wifi hotspot with that dialup broadband connection?

Three short, practical options and what to check first.

Identify the link type: inspect Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Change adapter settings. A "Broadband" entry usually means PPPoE (ISP username/password dialer). A "Mobile broadband" or a device name suggests a USB 3G/4G modem. If an ISP/router box already exists it will usually expose an Ethernet/WAN uplink. No static IP is required for any of the approaches below.

If the ISP uses PPPoE and there is no router capable of handling it, two reliable paths exist. The most robust is a consumer wireless router that accepts PPPoE on the WAN page — enter the ISP credentials in the router and the router will create a Wi‑Fi SSID the Galaxy Tab 2 can join. If the dialer is bound to a Windows PC, a software hotspot plus Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) works: verify hosted-network support, then run these commands in an elevated Command Prompt:

netsh wlan show drivers
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyHotspot key=StrongPass123
netsh wlan start hostednetwork

After that, enable Sharing on the dialer/PPPoE connection and select the hosted-network adapter. Note: the host PC must stay powered and the wireless adapter must support hosted network mode.

If the connection is a USB mobile dongle, a router that supports 3G/4G USB modems (or a phone hotspot) is preferable. Use WPA2 with a strong passphrase, avoid leaving ICS systems unattended, and choose a router-based solution for the most stable, always-on Wi‑Fi. This builds on points from and about router-based Wi‑Fi and complements 's remark about mobile hardware.

It you have broadband then you will have a box of some description, somewhere. Because you have broadband that connects to your phone line (is this why you call it dial-up?) you will likely have a Router. If it is a new Router then it must be Wireless capable.

Who is your Internet provider?

Seeing "Broadband" and "Dial-up" on your post, I am assuming you are using a cellular connection?
If so, you can look at Cradlepoint's products.

All modern broadband routers have wireless as per BIgpaw above. To join such routers there are a varietry of security hurdles. Some routers you have to push a button and then enter a 25 digit code, others have a straight password. It seems as though your Galaxy may have been linked in the past so that it can use the router.
You do not say where you are or what ISP you have, but there is a growing trend here in France for ALL routers (in private houses et(rc) to become universal hotspots to the clients of that ISP. IT may be that this method (which works well and extends the use geographically a lot) may develop where you are.
