Winhotspot 2.0

Convert your Laptop or Desktop with Windows 7 or Windows 8 to a WiFi Router

Winhotspot is an efficient application that delivers easy means to create virtual Wi-Fi hotspots, which a variety of devices can connect to in order to gain access to Internet.

The principle that a hotspot is based upon is simple: using a single Internet connection, you can generate a network that shares its resources with anyone that owns the correct authentication login and password.

Winhotspot is brought on a market that doesn’t fall short of such utilities, yet despite that, it became increasingly popular due to its ease of use and accessibility.

The first step to creating a virtual Wi-Fi hotspot is to choose the Internet connection to be shared and to set a name and password for users to authenticate with. Once you press the ‘Start’ button, your connection will become shared and available to all users with a device equipped with Wi-Fi support. All connected clients are displayed in an another window, with additional details such as IP and MAC address, while WiFi stats (SSID, signal, channel, etc) are being shown in a separate section.

Other highlights include upload / download statistics, as well as shortcuts to Windows’ Network Diagnostics utility and to the Network Connections area.
