Hotspot 27: a new window built around your devices
Your hotspot, the devices on it, and every setting are now a click apart in one window.
Everything on one screen
The Hotspot screen shows your network name and password, a QR code guests can scan to join, live traffic, and every device that's connected. Change something with Edit hotspot and Hotspot restarts with your changes.
Controls for each device
Pick any device on the Clients screen to see its traffic and data used, choose whether it can reach the internet or your other devices, and set gaming mode for PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or Nintendo. With MAX, you can also give it a fixed IP address.
Easier on phone data plans
Turn on Tell devices to save data and phones and tablets treat your hotspot as a limited connection, holding off on large updates and photo backups.
Hotspot 27 follows your Windows theme, or you can choose light or dark yourself.
AutomaticFixWhat people use it for
Hotspot Lite, the free edition, covers most of these. PRO and MAX add more ways to connect.
Share any connection
Turn a wired connection into Wi-Fi, rebroadcast the Wi-Fi you're already on, share your phone's USB tethering, or share a VPN so every device on your hotspot is covered by it. PRO and MAX also share 4G and 5G mobile broadband adapters.
Pay for Wi-Fi once when you travel
Hotel and in-flight Wi-Fi often charge per device. Sign in on your laptop, start a hotspot, and your phone and tablet ride along on that one login.
Block ads and malware sites
One switch blocks ads for everything on your hotspot, with nothing to install on the devices. You can also pick a DNS service, like Cloudflare for Families or Quad9, that blocks known malware sites.
Get game consoles online
Set gaming mode for PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or Nintendo on each console, and UPnP lets games open the ports they need. With MAX, Bridged mode puts consoles directly on your home network, as if they were plugged into your router.
Reach the rooms your router doesn't
Wi-Fi repeater mode extends your existing network to a basement or back bedroom using a PC you already own. Devices that join appear on your main network as if connected directly.
Share through an Ethernet port
Wired router mode shares your PC's internet through its Ethernet port. Plug in a switch or router, or connect desktops, older consoles, and TVs that don't have Wi-Fi.
Already using the hotspot built into Windows?
Windows Mobile Hotspot is a good fit for sharing a connection with a few devices now and then. Connectify Hotspot is for when you need more from it.
Compare the two- Devices on your main network. Windows gives hotspot devices a separate network. With MAX, they can join your home network directly.
