A WiFi repeater is just what it sounds like: a piece of hardware or software that lets you repeat or rebroadcast your main WiFi signal with the same network name and password. Most WiFi repeaters are hardware devices with antennas that cost a bundle, and require you to carry yet another device around with you in order to stay connected.

Most repeater software free applications do this without bridging.  This means that clients that join your hotspot don’t get real IP addresses from the shared network.  They can get on the Internet through the hotspot, but they’re not really on the network to do any peer-to-peer networking.  So, game consoles will report NAT problems, Chromecast apps won’t find your Chromecast, your Apple TV won’t show up for your Mac to stream to… the list goes on.

Read below to find out how you can use the Connectify Hotspot repeater software free app to turn your laptop into a virtual WiFi repeater and enjoy better wireless signal with no additional hardware!
