Without any doubt, one of the most effective and cheap ways to share your Internet connection is  buy a router. Thanks to it you will be able to share your Internet connection with a multitude of other devices such as your laptop, your cell phone, your iPhone etc. However, if you don’t like the idea of spending money to buy a router, I have got a simple, free way to turn your computer to a Wi-Fi hotspot!

Connectify is a simple, free software tool which does a simple thing. It turns your computer to a hotspot letting you share your Internet connection to whatever device you want, without  additional hardware, wires, plugs, or chargers. Here is a list of its most important features:

• Other users will see your computer as a real hotspot.
• You will be able to see all the devices connected to your computer including their IP and hostname.
• Select the Internet connection to share, choose a name and a password for it and you are done. Quite easy to set it up.
• The access point hotspot is encrypted with WPA2-Personal (AES) encryption.
• Connectify runs on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, both in either 32 or 64 bits. Windows 7 Starter Edition is not supported, as it lacks some of the features Connectify utilizes.
