If you're looking for a free Wi-Fi router, there's a more flexible alternative to those network routers: virtual router software. This comes in handy when you need to share an Internet connection with other devices, extend a Wi-Fi network or maybe just create a network between your devices.

There’s no reason to carry around a bulky hardware device to stay connected on-the-road or at job sites. With just your PC’s internal Wi-Fi card and Connectify Hotspot software, you’ve got a fully-featured virtual router right inside your Windows PC.

Best of all - it's a free WiFi router software which works on all Windows 7+ versions!

How many times have you found yourself in one of this situation?

• You’re stuck in a hotel room with just a wired Ethernet connection and have no way of getting your Wi-Fi devices online.
• You're on an airplane, in an airport or in a hotel room where Internet is expensive and is paid per device.
• You're outside your home, on your lawn, and you can't get your Wi-Fi network's signal on your mobile devices.

In all these cases, the main goal is to get your devices online quickly and free (no extra cost). A conventional router cannot help you in all cases - e.g. you cannot use it with captive portals, where you have to enter a username and password or click a button on a website in order to access the Internet.

Plus - it's easier to have the same functionalities already on your Windows PC than carry around an extra piece of hardware.

Connectify Hotspot’s virtual router functionalities are fully compatible with any routing scenario. The free Wi-Fi router software app runs on Windows PCs and laptops and allows you to share any type of Internet connection via Wi-Fi Hotspot or wired Ethernet.

Sharing a Wi-Fi Internet connection over Wi-Fi to your smartphone? Trying to get that Ethernet-only game console onto your 4G Hotspot? Connectify can do that for you. It can share your computer’s mobile Internet connection over an Ethernet cable to get all your devices online.
