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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
