Despite the fact that Internet has become somewhat an inseparable factor of daily life,
ensuring internet connection in all devices we have is a tiresome task, especially when it
comes to countries like India where both mobile internet and public WiFi services are yet
to find their base. In this kind of situations, however, sharing internet connection by
means of WiFi hotspot feature makes enough sense, as most devices including your
Smartphones and computers do have WiFi in built. Although Android Smartphones offer a
more direct way to switch on hotspot and share your own internet connection to multiple
devices, there is no such option in Windowsbased computers, making the feature a bit
‘hard’ for basic users.
In this post, we have come up with list of top 5 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, we should move on,
right?
Easier management of connected devices and you can limit speed, blacklist or change
nicknames of devices. So, if you want to restrict some devices from stealing your
browser speed, you can do that using the section for client management.
Ability to share your videos using WiFi so that you can access them right from your
Smartphone browser. If you have switched on the ‘Share Video’ option, you will be
given an IP address; you can enter the IP address to browse and play videos that are
stored in a particular file folder in your PC.
Considering these features, My WIFI Router is a productive tool, indeed. Moreover, my
WIFI Router has a UI that has minimal elements arranged in an easily understandable
way.
However, despite being simple in terms of use, MaryFi can be used as a WiFi repeater
— you can use the tool to receive signals from one WiFi modem and repropagate those
signals using WiFi feature of your PC. On the other hand, if you switch on MaryFi when
you do not have one internet connection with you, it will let you access shared folders of
your PC from other devices as well as being part of multiplayer, LANbased games.
And the best part is that, in spite of being free to use, MaryFi will not put some ads to
disappoint your user experience.
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.
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 WiFi 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 featurerich WiFi hotspot
without spending that much time! In addition, we loved its feature to select the source of
internet before creating the hotspot.
5. Connectify (http://www.connectify.me/) (Paid)
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 shutoff 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 we 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 Manual Way (Creating WiFi Hotspot without installing any software)
So, now, you have a list of top best WiFi hotspot software for Windows and these apps
will let you do the job in a single click. Yet, if you are not in a situation to download
these tools and create a hotspot, there is a manual method using Windows Command
Prompt.
First, you have to open command prompt with administrative privileges. To do that,
right click on Command Prompt icon and select Run as Administrator.
Now, we have to check whether your PC does support WiFi hotspot creation. To do so,
give the following command in command prompt.
Input of the command will show you results that are given in following image. From
that, check if Hosted Network is supported. If it’s a Yes, we can move on; otherwise,
you cannot create a WiFi hotspot using the method.
If your WiFi network card supports Hosted Networks, you can create hotspot by giving
a command. In the following command, you have to change ssid value to the desired
hotspot name whereas key to your desired password.
If it has been successful, you can see a message that hosted network mode has been
set to allow and username and passphrase have been changed successfully. Now, you
have successfully created your WiFi hotspot but you have to switch it on first.
On the other hand, if you want to know the details about the WiFi hotspot you have
created, you can give this command:
Success! You have created a WiFi hotspot in your Windowspowered PC using Command
Prompt! Now, if you want to share the internet connection, you have to go to Network
and Sharing center and enable ‘Internet Connection Sharing to that particular network —
simple as that.
To Conclude
Talking of the tools, we loved My WIFI Router very much, as it helps us create hotspot in
seconds as well as to share videos over WiFi, which is a great mater of productivity.
Nevertheless, we would like to know which WiFi Hotspot creation tool you are using.
That having said, if you are not able to download any of these tools to create a hotspot,
we hope the manual method, using Windows Command Prompt will surely help you, as
each and every Windowsbased PC comes with CMD.
