Mobile devices commonly use wireless networks to connect to the internet. When you’re at home, you could actually make a Wi-Fi hotspot out of your computer. All you need is the Virtual Router Manager. This is a free app that you can easily use to transform your Windows PC into a router for wireless internet.

Easy Configuration

When you make a Wi-Fi hotspot out of your computer, you simply share the network which has internet access. The app lets you configure all of this very easily. You just need to enter a couple of details to properly establish the wireless hotspot.  

Select Your Password and Shared Connection

Choose the name and password you want for your network. This will give your new wireless connection the proper security it needs. Also, choose a shared connection so that your linked peers can have internet access.

Virtual Router Manager is really good because it shows you a list of your connected peers as well as the hostnames and the addresses of the MAC and IPs.

Maintains a Secure Connection

This tool comes in handy for securing your connection because you must create a password that is a minimum of 8 characters. There is also WPA2 encryption as well. It only takes a couple of clicks for your Wi-Fi hotspot to get set up.

The app works great on any Windows 7 computer. However, if you want to share a network, you’ll need administrator privileges. But still, the app works great and you won’t even need to reboot the system either.

Conclusion

This app is a great tool for anyone who wants to create a wireless hotspot out of their computer within minutes. There are only a few configuration options to deal with, so novices and experts can both figure them out quite fast. There are no instructions included, but you probably won’t need them anyway. The interface speaks for itself.
