Do you need to share an Internet connection with all your devices, whether at home, at the office or while traveling? Now it's easier than ever to do this - you don't need any additional hardware, like a wireless router.

You can, of course, use Windows' embedded Internet Connection Sharing functionality, but we've got a better and more feature-rich alternative to that: Connectify Hotspot - a virtual router app for Windows PCs that turns your laptop into a Wi-Fi hotspot and helps you share any Internet connection via Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet with other devices.

Connectify Hotspot is FREE use in order to turn your Windows laptop or PC into a Wi-Fi hotspot and share your wireless Internet connection with other devices.

If you want to share other types of Internet connections - wired (DSL, Cable, LAN), 4G / LTE, others (VPN virtual adapters) - with all your devices, you have to upgrade to Connectify Hotspot PRO or Connectify Hotspot MAX. You will be able to share any type of Internet connection from your Windows computer with any WiFi or Ethernet enabled device. You don’t need any technical skills. You can share your connection with the click of a button. You don’t need any extra equipment or cords.

All versions of Connectify Hotspot allow you to set up a secure connection by giving you the power to name your hotspot name or SSID (you can even include emojis) and create your own password using standard protocols. Your laptop or PC becomes a wifi hotspot. Or maybe you want to use the wired router mode and share the Internet via Ethernet / LAN.

Here are five easy steps to share any Internet connection with other computers, smartphones, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo and other Wi-Fi or Ethernet enabled devices:
