Your Hotspot for Summer Travel

Summer is in full swing and that means it’s officially travel season! Maybe you’re going home to visit family or taking a much-needed vacation with your significant other or friends. No matter who you’re with, you’re likely to be spending a lot of time in airports, on trains or buses, and staying at hotels. Staying connected to Internet is important, but sometimes it can prove to be difficult getting all your devices online. With Connectify Hotspot users can save time connecting all of their devices. If you need more than the free version, see PRO and MAX in the Connectify store.
Here are some reasons you should pack Connectify Hotspot with you for summer travels:

Sign in to the hotel or airport Wi-Fi once in your laptop’s browser, then share that connection with your own devices and your family’s.
Users can see each device and its data use, and switch internet access off for any one device, right from their laptop. That part is free.
Your Connectify Hotspot maintains a personal area network that all of your devices recognize no matter where you are.

Travel Wi-Fi

One hotel login, all your devices, through Connectify Hotspot

Hotel Wi-Fi usually asks for a room number and a surname on a browser page before a device can get online. Connectify Hotspot lets one Windows laptop do that sign-in and share the connection with the other devices you travelled with.

The sign-in page

Hotel networks hold new devices at a browser login page until someone fills in the form.
Devices that struggle with it

A Kindle or a smart speaker has no browser for the login page. Consoles, streaming sticks and handhelds often fail to load it, or lose the connection when the hotel login times out.
One gateway instead

Your Windows laptop signs in once and becomes the gateway for your other devices. They join the laptop's hotspot, so the login page only has to work on the laptop.

Hotspot Lite, the free edition, runs in 60-minute sessions, so on a long stay you start it again now and then. PRO removes the time limit. If your devices stop getting online, the hotel login has timed out: sign in again on the laptop. If the hotel charges per device, check its terms before you share the connection.
