In this article we will teach you
how to turn your laptop into a WI-FI hotspot.
Step 1) Download Connectify Lite Version
Download the free connectify. While Pro version is available at Rs 1,717/-
Step 2) Install Connectify Lite Version
Install the software by typical "next-next-next" Setup process.
Step 3) Set up Connectify
You can find Connectify running in toolbar. You will be able to change the hotspot name, but the name always has to retain "Connectify" as prefix. Then, you will have to pick what kind of connection to share, which depends on whether your laptop is connected through an Ethernet cable or a Wi-Fi network. Using the option of sharing mode, you can configure what type of encryption you would like applied on the hotspot. After that, simply click “Start Hotspot” to turn your laptop/notebook into a personal router. You should be able to detect the wireless network you started on any other device with Wi-Fi access. The taskbar app should then switch over to the “Clients” view, where you can manage and view devices that are connected to your Wi-Fi hotspot.
Conclusion
Connectify is more than enough to provide capability to share the data even in Lite Version. With Connectify, you can purchase a single connection for your laptop and share this connection with your smartphone and tablet, without having to shell out ridiculous amounts for multiple connections. Connectify supports Windows XP,Vista, 7 and 8 versions.
