Share Internet Connection On Your Windows 7 PC By Making It A Wi-Fi Hotspot

Sometimes your wireless router goes for a repair, or needs to be replaced and you are severely handicapped because your Internet connection is now restricted only to one Computer. In such a scenario,  you would want to convert your PC into a software based Wi-Fi router, so that you can share the Internet connection with your other laptops, netbooks, or even Wi-Fi enabled mobile devices.

Here is an amazing free software, Connectify, which turns your Windows 7 PC into a Wi-Fi hotspot in just a few clicks. You can set up a Wi-Fi network by giving it a name, password, choosing the network interface of the Internet connection that you want to share, and the encryption mode. Start the hotspot, and you can then join your other devices to this wireless network by entering the same password.

The connected devices show up on Connectify, under the ‘Connected Clients’ section. Connectify also maintains a history of all those clients that have connected to this WiFi connection. This simple to use program is a big money saver.
