A Virtual Router Inside Your Windows Computer

If you need to share an Internet connection with other devices, extend a WiFi network or maybe just create a network between your devices, what will you use? Most probably the first thing that comes into your mind is a WiFi router. But there’s no reason to spend time configuring it and carrying it around in order to stay connected on-the-road or at job sites. With just your computer’s internal WiFi card and Connectify Hotspot software, you’ve got a fully-featured virtual router.

See how easy it is to use Connectify Hotspot for Windows computers as a portable virtual router to share our Internet connection with all your devices via WiFi, wired ethernet, and as a WiFi repeater. Save money and bandwidth, get rid of any networking issues due to incompatible hardware.

A virtual router is a software-based system that does everything your hardware router can do (and some things it can’t). A virtual router like Connectify Hotspot can broadcast WiFi right from your PC, so that any other WiFi-enabled device can get online. Connectify Hotspot is far and away the world’s most popular virtual router, because it’s designed with you in mind.

Here are a couple of scenarios you may find familiar:

• You’re stuck in a hotel room with just a wired Ethernet connection and have no way of getting your WiFi devices online.
• You’re on an airplane, in an airport or in a hotel room where Internet is expensive and is paid per device.
• You’re outside your home, on your lawn, and you can’t get your WiFi network’s signal on your mobile devices.

In all these cases, the main goal is to get your devices online quickly and free (no extra cost). A conventional router cannot help you in all cases – e.g. you cannot use it with captive portals, where you have to enter a username and password or click a button on a website in order to access the Internet.
