Free Tool Connectify Turns Your PC Into a WiFi Hotspot [VIDEO]

b2ap3_thumbnail_pc_wifi_hot_spot_400.jpgWe’ve all had those moments where you desperately need a WiFi signal. Without one, how will you check your email? If you have a PC with a wireless card, you can take advantage of Connectify to turn your PC into a WiFi repeater, effectively extending your hotspot’s signal. With everyone looking to take advantage of wireless technology, a WiFi signal is necessary; so here’s how to make it a little better.

A virtual router, like the one which Connectify provides, offers several benefits that an ordinary router might not help with. Here are a few ways Connectify impresses:

  • Extend Your WiFi Signal: If your PC is located some distance from the router, you might experience connectivity issues. Connectify fixes this issue by extending your WiFi signal using your device as a WiFi repeater. Basically, Connectify’s virtual router makes it easier than ever to access a WiFi connection, especially when at a distance.
  • A Wireless Signal Without the Wires: Even though you’re using a wireless signal, you might notice that the WiFi router still has to be plugged into the wall. What gives? It shouldn’t be called wireless if it does, in fact, need wires. Thankfully, you can use a virtual router to extend the signal. Since the mobile device is technically repeating the signal, you’ll truly have wireless Internet at long last.
  • Multiple Device Connectivity: A virtual router comes with all of the bells and whistles that a normal router comes with, including the ability to connect to multiple devices. With enough flexibility to connect your smartphone, tablet, laptop, e-reader, or any other mobile device, a virtual router is sure to help you get more work (or play) done.
  • Travel Savings: Your business journeys might take you across the country, complete with all of its shoddy hotel WiFi hotspots. Some hotels even charge extra for the privilege of using extra devices on their subpar hotspots. If you use Connectify, you can dodge the extra charges and save some cash the next time you travel.

A tool like Connectify offers all of these features for free. If you want to access even more helpful features from Connectify, then you can upgrade to their PRO and MAX plans for a minimal fee. To learn more about Connectify, check out their promotional video:
