Keep your Kiosks Connected without Additional Hardware
Does your company utilize touch-screen kiosks, tablets, or PCs at events or on-location to collect information, process sign-ups, or share photos and files?No matter what kind of kiosk system your company is using, Connectify Hotspot ensures that all of your Wi-Fi enabled devices can get online and connect to each other. Simply install our easy to use software router on one of your PC’s to create your own secure wireless network no matter where you are.
Then you can share or rebroadcast:
- The Wi-Fi or ethernet connection at the venue (even if it has a pesky “captive portal” that your kiosks can’t seem to get through – like at a hotel or coffee shop)
- Your Own 3G, 4G, or mobile broadband connection (such as a tethered cell phone or MiFi device)
- No Internet connection at all for a purely local network (so your devices can simply communicate with each other)
Whether you need to collect email addresses at a trade show, assist customers in sharing photos or posting to social media, or are running Wi-Fi photo booth operation (check out this article by Photo Party Upload!), Connectify Hotspot makes it easy to get all your devices online.
Allow Customers to Connect to You!
With Connectify Hotspot you could also set up your PC or kiosk(s) to operate as a public Wi-Fi hotspot for your customers to connect to allowing them transfer files or photos from their phone or other wireless devices to your kiosk and vice versa.It’s a kiosk kind of world and Connectify is embracing it with open arms and Wi-Fi hotspots.

Casting and device discovery
Chromecast, Roku or AirPlay can't see your phone? Use Connectify Hotspot to put casting devices on the same network
Casting works by one device finding another on the same network. Connectify Hotspot in its default mode puts the phone and the streaming device on two different networks, so the search finds nothing.
Chromecast, AirPlay and most smart home apps look for hardware by broadcasting a request across the local network and waiting for a reply. That request does not cross between networks, so a phone on the hotspot and a streaming device on the router never hear each other.
Connectify Hotspot's Bridging Mode puts both devices on one network. Everything joining the hotspot gets an address from the router instead of from the Windows PC, which means the phone and the streaming device share the same network and the cast icon comes back.
MAX Bridging Mode is a Connectify Hotspot MAX feature.
