Top WiFi Hotspot Software For Windows

In this post, I have come up with list of WiFi hotspot software for Windows PCs. Using these software, you will be able to create a WiFi hotspot in a few clicks, rather than digging into networks section of your PC. So, I should move on, right?

1. Connectify (Paid) 

 

Connectify

Unlike the aforementioned hotspot creation tools, Connectify is a paid software to create WiFi hotspot, despite the fact that a free version with less features are available.
For instance, if you are going for Pro, you can remove hotspot shut-off timer and share internet from both 3G and 4G devices. So, if you are going with the basic plan, you’ll be able to share your wired internet connection. Plus, Connectify works fine with both Windows 7 and 8 PCs. When I do compare Connectify with other tools out there, however, the inability to share internet connection from a 3G or 4G device is obviously a disadvantage.  So, the rest of the software can be termed as good alternatives to Connectify because they are free and offer more features as well.

2. mHotspot (Free)

mHotspot

The tool, mHotspot, is something as far as you are concerned about turning your Windows-based to a WiFi hotspot and thus a source of internet. Using this easy-to-use free software, you can create a hotspot by choosing a name for hotspot, password, source of internet and number of maximum clients. mHotspot works with both Windows 7 & 8.
  • Hotspot can have up to ten clients. However, you have the option to put a restriction on number of devices that can be connected to your hotspot.
  • Ability to know details about connected Wi-Fi clients and their resource consumption
  • When compared to other WiFi hotspot creation tools out there, mHotspot has a really small size (of around 400KB) and downloading it will not be a problem even when you have a small internet connection.
mHotspot is indeed a great choice when you need to create a feature-rich Wi-Fi hotspot without spending that much time! In addition, I loved its feature to select the source of internet before creating the hotspot.

3. MyPublicWiFi (Free)

MyPublicWiFi

Here comes another easy-to-use, simple-in-terms-of-feature tool to create WiFi hotspots — MyPublicWiFi. The tool is a freeware and supports Windows 7, 8 and Windows Server 2008. Since it supports both 32 and 64 bit architecture processors, MyPublicWiFi will work smoothly on Windows based devices.
  • Ability to know which devices are connected to your WiFi hotspot! So, even when you have created an open network, you will know who else are there.
  • URL Logging helps you have a list of websites that have been accessed during the hotspot session. If you think someone is accessing the hotspot to access some ‘undesired’ website, you will be able to get details on those sessions using the feature.
  • You can use the tool as a WiFi repeater in order to extend signal of your home WiFi or other situations. If you want to extend the range of your WiFi modem, you can do it in a few seconds. 

 

 4.  Free WiFi Hotspot





Figure A

This is a basic tool for sharing your Wi-Fi hotspot. Its only real configuration options are the hotspot name (the SSID) and password. After entering this information, you simply select your network connection and click Start to begin sharing. When you're finished, you can terminate the connection by clicking the Stop button.

5. Virtual WiFi Router





Figure B

Like Free WiFi Hotspot, Virtual WiFi Router is a simple tool with limited configuration options. However, this tool allows you to limit the number of peers that can connect to your hotspot. There is also an option to see which devices are connected.

 

6. Winhotspot WiFi Router





Figure C  
Winhotspot WiFi Router is another free tool for turning your PC into a Wi-Fi hotspot, but it offers a few extra options. Like the other tools, you can specify a custom hotspot name and password and choose which network connection you want to share. But you can also monitor upload and download bandwidth and see which clients are connected to your network. There is also an auto run option and a safe mode option.
