Turn Your Windows 7 Laptop into a Wi-Fi Hotspot
Do you have a big quota for internet access in your laptop? Do you want to share you connection with your familiy, friend, or even to another people? But you don’t have any idea how to do it.
One of the solutions that I would suggest is by using Connectify.
What is Connectify? Connectify is a free and easy to use software router for Windows 7 computers. With Connectify, users can wirelessly share any Internet connection: a cable modem, a cellular card, or even another Wi-Fi network. Other Wi-Fi enabled devices including laptops, smart phones, music players, and gaming systems can see and join your Connectify hotspot just like any other Wi-Fi access point and are kept safe and secure by password-protected WPA2 Encryption.
When it is run in “Access Point” mode, Connectify is a real Wi-Fi Access Point running on your computer. Any device that can connect to a regular access point, can connect to a Connectify Hotspot, with no special setup or software required. When Connectify is run in “Ad Hoc” mode it sets everything up for you (Wireless card, Internet sharing, firewall, etc.) in one click. It also provides advanced features like showing you what computers are connected to your network, and letting you right click them to Explore their shared drives and printers.
It should be a great software that you will need, in case when you want to share your data and you don’t have any portable storage (e.g flash drive) to distribute it. Also would be a nice software that you can use to play any networks games with your friend (just say Counter Strike or Stronghold Crusader). Just install Connectify in your laptop, set the configuration that you want to apply, whether by manual or by easy setup wizard. Turn on your windows 7 laptop wireless, and Buzz! Now you are ready to make a Ad Hoc network in your laptop. Search your Wi-Fi name in your friends laptop. If you have an internet connection, you could choose whether you want to share it too or not.
Your wireless Access Point hotspot is encrypted with WPA2-Personal (AES) encryption. Your security is as strong as the Password that you select. The Ad Hoc mode hotspots are protected with WEP encryption. You can’t turn off this encryption because Encryption is required with Connectify, they take your safety and security seriously.
Connectify runs on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, both in either 32 or 64 bits. Windows 7 Starter Edition is not supported, as it lacks some of the features Connectify utilizes. So remember this software will not run in Windows XP even Vista
Connectify depends on improvements made in Windows 7 to operate. Frankly, Windows 7 is such a big improvement, that the developer suggest you’re better off upgrading than waiting for us to get all this working on an older version of Windows. But you also have to remember that your friends don’t need Windows 7 in order to connect to your Connectify hotspot, any Wi-Fi enabled device can connect to your network without any additional configuration or software.
For the installation and frequently asked questions just check it on Connectify Support website. Connectify is an absolutely free and unrestricted free software.
