If you do not have a Wi-Fi adapter, you will need to purchase one in order to create a Wi-Fi hotspot. Please note that there are many USB adapters/dongles available on the market that you can use with Connectify Hotspot.
Connectify Hotspot includes a universal Ad Blocker to prevent annoying and unwanted ads from displaying on devices that join your hotspot! It can even block in-app ads on iPhones, iPads, and Android mobile devices.
The '5GHz Mode' warning is shown if you're sharing a 5GHz Wi-Fi hotspot. So, if you are trying to connect an older 2.4GHz device that does not support 5GHz networks and you see this warning in Connectify, those devices will be unable to connect to your Connectify hotspot and will not show the hotspot in their list of networks. Most devices manufactured in the last 3 years support 5GHz and will connect fine with Connectify.
Unfortunately, Connectify does not have the ability to control between 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The channel of the Hotspot is determined by the channel of the network that the adapter is currently connected to as well as your network adapter. If you are connected to a 5GHz network, then you will get a 5GHz hotspot. The same would also be true for a 2.4GHz hotspot.
Some cards might have an option that allows you to change between 2.4GHz and 5GHz band. You should try checking in the Device Manager under the Advanced Properties of your adapter for these options. If you have those options you can try just having the 2.4Ghz enabled.
Need a proven free WiFi hotspot software app that can help you share your Internet connection with computers, mobile devices, gaming consoles and others? Connectify Hotspot is the most popular free WiFi hotspot software that you can use to turn your Windows computer into a WiFi hotspot.
See how easy it is to create a WiFi hotspot with the Connectify Hotspot software app for Windows computers. Share the Internet with all your devices, extend your WiFi network range and get rid of annoying ads, all in one!
If you want to share an Internet connection from your laptop or Windows 10+ computer, you can use the built-in mobile hotspot functionality. Or you can use Connectify Hotspot, the most popular Wi-Fi hotspot software for Windows. But which one should you go with? It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Read below to see a comparison between the Windows Mobile Hotspot and Connectify Hotspot.
All of the above have been thoroughly tested by our team here at Connectify. Apart from the main differences in functionalities, here are some other points to consider when deciding on a Wi-Fi hotspot software to use:
In short, Connectify Hotspot 2016 is currently the only hotspot software that will work with Windows 10 and newer Wi-Fi cards. Folks using earlier versions of Windows can rest easy, too. Since we still support the Hosted Network protocol in Connectify Hotspot 2016, the software will still work on your current OS.
I was cruising the internet for other OS to install on an old device, came across this app to share hotspots with a standalone Wi-Fi device to create your own lan. Has anyone had experience with Connectify?
1. Follow the given procedure in the video until you see the firewall (network) option.
2. Select Interactive filtering instead of Automatic. (Make sure the devices you want to connect to connectify me are with WIfi turned off)
3. After selecting interactive mode, ESET SS will give you a some of the allow deny options for some applications, now allow all the CONNECTIFY ME dialogues and make them a rule by checking the same button.
4. Turn on the wifi on the devices you want to connect to connectify me.
5. Connect to connectify me in your devices.
6. Now ESET SS will again ask for inbound and outbound traffic, check your device name and then and then select the ALLOW Button with making a rule checked.
7. Done. Now your devices must be connected to the connectify me.
8. Turn on the automatic filtering in Eset SS.
Once I have seen "connectify Hotspot" created an OPEN WiFi network with my PC... So I think it can also be done in command line. I don't want to use third-party software so please help me to solve this problem.
The reason why you can't find a proper answer to this is because unfortunately, you really aren't able to create a hotspot through the netsh command without a password (as far as I've seen). I don't think that the command was made with this option.
I'm pretty sure that Connectify doesn't use netsh. My guess is that it uses one of the drivers that are installed with Connectify to set up a hotspot. Again, this is just a guess - I don't know too much about Connectify and its internal functioning.
since windows 7 (maybe even since xp) there is a program (or command) called netsh it comes pre-shipped with the OS that can be called from the command prompt and with a few parameters you can set up a personal hotspot.
Connectify can easily act as your primary router or even a repeater for your home router, extending its range and providing Internet access wherever you need it. Connect to your home network, enter the same Wi-Fi name and password, and hit "Start Hotspot." Devices will automatically connect to the Internet through either your Connectify hotspot or home router depending on proximity.
Before you know it you can finally have Internet access in that impossible back room or basement. In addition, if you run Connectify away from home with these settings, any devices that need to be bound to a specific network (such as Eye-Fi cards or wireless printers) will work flawlessly with no additional configuration no matter where you are! So forget trying to mess around on the command line with ICS, Virtual Wi-Fi, or Hosted Network, just install Connectify and have a real hotspot up and running in seconds.
Connectify Hotspot includes an all new universal ad blocker to prevent annoying and unwanted ads from displaying on devices that join your hotspot! It can even block in-app ads on iPhones, iPads and Android mobile devices!
Improved Speedify Compatibility: Building on the Jumbo packet support, Speedify and Connectify Hotspot now automatically negotiate packet sizes. This means your hotspot clients really get the full speed, security, and stability benefits of your bonded Speedify connection. Make sure you're up to date with Speedify 10.7 or later.
After I saw this link offered by vasishath, I managed to setup a wireless hotspot to share the internet connection from the same single wireless interface device. This wireless device must to use an Atheros driver that is already build with nl80211 support. Next I will show you how.
Here is my project Linux Wifi Hotspot which has both GUI and command-line interface. It can create a virtual wifi hotspot on the same wifi adapter which is connected to the internet. It has additional features such as MAC filter, Change channel/frequency band, view connected devices etc.
How to configure the Ubuntu/Xubuntu PC as a WiFi hotspot (ex: for use in airports or on airplanes in order to share a single, paid connection from your PC with your phone and other devices):
on latest ubuntu (04.20) - there is a built in options in the wifi settings.so when you turn on wifi, you have the 3-dots button on top - one of the options there is "turn on hotspot", there, you'll set the wifi SSID and password, and that's it.Note: every wifi adapter can be used only for one action at once - or hotspot of connect to network. so if you have only one adapter and you're connected only via wifi - won't do...
As you will see, or maybe already know, Ideally you need to connect your PC with ethernet cable to a 1gig router and use it's dedicated 5Ghz wifi as close by as possible. Wifi-only and wifi hotspots do not work well so do not believe everything you see on YouTube. Even the Virtual Desktop developer states that wifi hotspots (esp. ones using a pcie card) are not a good alternative.
A little update in case someone find this thread, my laptop has an intel ax200 that supports both bands, so I connect to the internet with 2.4GHz and make a hotspot with 5GHz to connect with the oculus. The experience it's quite enjoyable. I think I may be able to play even from a hotel room with this setup.
If you were about to spend money anyway, buy a router. Skip all the network card stuff, all the hotspot, a simple router is all you need. mine cost me like 40$USD it is wifi6 nothing fancy, and i am VD user, it has been rock solid for the past 2 years, like rock solid!. I dont want to say the model i am using here but PM is welcomed.
Hello. I have created, via MS-DOS netsh commands, a wifi hotspot which is supposed to be started with no problem. But I can't see it from others devices, as an Android or iPhone phones or another laptop.
Is there any way to create the hotspot on the same interface that is connected to the Internet (like the software connectify does on Windows) ?
I was thinking of creating a virtual interface (like the one airmon-ng creates to monitor wifi) and use it as the second interface. Is this possible?
Now using the software called Hostapd ( link in orignal post ), I have converted the myAcc into an access point and i have used dnsmasq to provide ip addresses to the connecting clients. At this point, 2 different interfaces are shown in the iwconfig and ifconfig. My client is able to detect the hotspot, connect to it, gain IP address and is even able to ping the host.
