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.

Connectify Hotspot PRO and MAX let you easily share the Internet connection from your 4G LTE or 5G mobile broadband device. This means you can share your family data plan with friends, coworkers, and all your other Wi-Fi enabled devices.

Hotspot MAX is the only virtual router software that gives you a real Wi-Fi Repeater so you can extend the range of your home or office Wi-Fi. Your main Wi-Fi connection sees all the devices connected to your Hotspot so you can play console games, share files, and stream content across the network.

In order to create a Wi-Fi Hotspot, your computer needs a Wi-Fi adapter. If you have a Wi-Fi adapter and Connectify is not detecting it, you may have it disabled. Here is a checklist you should go through:

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 is using the same Wi-Fi band and channel that your wireless access point uses. Your PC acquires a connection via Wi-Fi, and if you share over the same device you use the same band and channel.

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.

Internet connectivity is essential in today's world, from people working or entertaining themselves to children learning. Internet access is constantly being improved all across the Globe, but there still are (and will be) situations when you need to share your Internet connection with other devices.

The most popular option is to use a smartphone and share its cellular connection via Wi-Fi. No "thrills" - just Internet you can use on other devices. However - make sure you realize you're using a metered connection and you may pay extra to your carrier at the end of the billing month.

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.

First, let's touch the things both the Windows Mobile Hotspot and Connectify Hotspot can accomplish. They both help one share their Internet connection from their Windows computer to other devices via Wi-Fi:

If this basic sharing functionality is all you need, you can use the built-in Windows Mobile Hotspot. If you need more, or are curious on what Connectify Hotspot can do in addition to the above - please continue reading.

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:

Bottom line: Connectify Hotspot does much more than just share your Internet connection via Wi-Fi. It turns your computer into a virtual router, giving you much more flexibility to share, manage and improve the Internet experience.

I'm trying to play a video game with my friends that requires a local wifi network that allows UDP broadcasts. The dorm wifi doesn't allow UDP broadcasts, so I'm trying to set up my laptop as a hotspot. Windows 10 by default allows you to share an internet connection over wifi, but you must have an internet connection to do so. Sharing the wifi connection results in a lot of problems such as constant disconnects, and I don't have access to an ethernet connection to share. Is there some way I can set up a wifi network without actually sharing an internet connection?

1.) Open an elevated command prompt. Win+X and choose CMD (Admin) OR type in "cmd" or "command prompt" into Windows Search by typing into Start Menu and then right click "Command Prompt" and select "Run As Administrator"

2.) Check if your system is capable run this command: netsh wlan show drivers. Scroll down to Hosted network supported. If it saysYes you are in luck; if No there is no easy alternative and don't continue.

Replace %ssid% with your Wifi or "Hotspot" Name or SSID. E.g. ssid=MyGreatHotspot. Replace %pass% with your Wifi or "Hotspot" Password. It must be 8 characters long at a minimum. E.g. key=strongPasswordsAreWEAK.

4.) After that run the command, netsh wlan start hostednetwork, to start the "Hotspot" broadcast. Right now you can play without internet connection after all devices connect. Remember to check IP addresses of all your individual devices in order to connect to each other. The hotspot's IP Address usually is "192.168.137.1".

5.) Open Run (Win + R) or by searching for Run and enter in ncpa.cpl, then press Enter. A new adapter has shown in the screen it should say something along the lines of "Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter". (Optional if you're OCD, rename that one if its says "L.A.N Connection* 15" or rather to like "Hotspot"). Right click the Internet Connect Source you want to share internet from and choose "Properties." Go to the "Sharing" Tab and checkmark or toggle on "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet Connection." Apply, OK to save changes.

In case writing your own application is a possibility, have a look at the WiFi Direct API, which offers a legacy mode. Enabling the legacy mode will create a SoftAP with the specified SSID and password. However, specifying no password doesn't seem to be supported.

Have a look at the IoTOnboarding sample to see the legacy mode in action (and to have a better 'documentation' than what Microsoft officially provides): IotOnboarding/IoTOnboardingService/OnboardingAccessPoint.cs

If you are still using windows 10, then just open "Microsoft Store" from Start Menu. Find the app named as "Hotspot Lite" from there and just install it. Now open the app and configure the settings if you want or not. Done!!

First use connectify to create hotspot and then turn on the mhotspot app and create hotspot again using it. It will work as the sharing has already been enabled by the connectify app.Then, close the connectify app. Now enjoy unlimited net sharing.

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.

I have created the virtual network by netsh commands and I have activated Internet Sharing Connectio of LAN over the virtual network. The network even seems to be connected to internet, but can not be found the ssid from other devices.

If the SSID is not detected, then open the properties of the wireless connection (go to Network and Sharing Center) and make sure (ICS) Internet Connection Setting is enabled. Make sure to select the Ad Hoc connection under Home Networking Connection.

Really don't know what is happening. In other laptops I have had no problems following these kind of instructions.(Specifically I can prove using it in a Toshiba Tecra R840 with an Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6230)
