Connectify Hotspot is a software router for your Windows PC or laptop. With Connectify Hotspot, you can transform your PC into a real WiFi hotspot, and share your computer’s Internet connection as Wi-Fi with any other PC or mobile device.

Features and Highlights

Easily Create a Wi-Fi Hotspot and Connect all your Devices
Just give your Hotspot a name and password, and you’re ready to go. The tool isn’t just the world’s most powerful hotspot software, it’s the easiest, too. Just give your Hotspot a name and password, and you’re ready to go.

Share Any Type of Internet Connection
Connectify Hotspot lets you easily turn your PC into a Wi-Fi Hotspot so you can share the Internet with all your devices. Turn a wired connection into WiFi at the click-of-a-button and even share an existing wireless network as Wi-Fi.

Enjoy Safe and Secure Sharing
Your Hotspot is automatically secured with WPA2-PSK encryption, just like a conventional router. That means all users get the safest and most secure WiFi sharing experience available.

Monitor Network Usage By Device
Finally! You can track down that friend who’s using all your bandwidth. The newest feature gives you real-time graphs for monitoring how much data your various connected client devices are using at a glance.

Fling Files to Connected Devices
Forget passing around USB thumb drives. You don’t know where those things have been. Germ-riddled USB drives b’gone. The Hotspot is the only software router that lets you wirelessly send files directly to connected devices, without even needing an Internet connection. In an ideal world we’d be able to pass EVERYTHING this way but for now just files. Get PRO or MAX to unlock unlimited file flings.

Note: 2 (two) days trial version. Requires .NET Framework. Limited functionality.
