Connectify

Connectify Hotspot is a pretty useful utility that will allow you to create a Wi-Fi hotspot from a computer connected to the network. It allows you to do without using a router, as long as you have a Wi-Fi adapter in your system. The program is perfect for deploying a wireless network, allowing you to access the Internet from portable devices. The main disadvantage of this solution is the lack of support for older versions of Windows: current releases need Windows 10 or 11.

Connectify Hotspot allows you to view statistics on access point usage, currently connected devices, the amount of data transferred per device and much more. The hotspot uses WPA2 encryption and has a built-in ad blocker. The free edition shares Wi-Fi connections, while the paid PRO and MAX editions also share wired, 4G LTE and 5G connections, and MAX adds repeater and bridging modes. The interface of the program is quite convenient and intuitive. The user can minimize the application window to the notification panel to avoid overburdening the desktop space.

Connectify Hotspot enables users to create a Wi-Fi hotspot from any computer, eliminating the need for a router.
