Bridge Network Connections Easily in Windows 10
Forget about complicated Windows 10 setup and configuration steps in order to network bridge connections. There’s a software app that does this and much more with just a click of a button – no need for any technical skills!
Connectify Hotspot is a virtual router software app that turns your Windows PC or laptop into a Wi-Fi hotspot and also makes network bridging a child’s play.
Read below how to setup bridge connections with the help of Connectify Hotspot, the #1 hotspot software used by millions of people around the world!
Wired in, Wi-Fi out
No router? Connectify Hotspot makes your Windows PC the router.
A Windows PC with a working connection already has everything a router has. Connectify Hotspot takes the connection coming in over the cable and hands out a Wi-Fi network your other devices can join.
Wired in Wi-Fi out
-
At the office
A desk with a network port and no wireless you are allowed to join. The Windows PC on that port can put your phone on the same connection.
-
In a hotel room
Older rooms still have an Ethernet socket behind the desk and little else. One cable covers everything you travelled with.
-
At home
A modem with no Wi-Fi built in. The Windows PC already plugged into that modem can hand out a network to the rest of the house.
Available for Windows 10 and 11
If the setup becomes something you use daily rather than once, Connectify Hotspot PRO drops the 60-minute session limit.
