not always have the opportunity to purchase a separate wireless router.In this situation, the simplest solution is the distribution of WiFi from a laptop or desktop computer.The standard, built-in operating system itself can not solve this problem.Therefore it is necessary to install applications that are built-in transmitter mobile PC is converted into a real virtual router.
Why do it?
The majority of people in our country at home already have more than one device that works wirelessly Wi-Fi.These can be laptops, stationary PCs, smartphones, tablets, and satellite receivers.The list of such devices is endless.They must somehow assemble into a single network.The simplest solution - is to buy a router that would solve this problem.But it does not always have the financial ability to buy it.Then the solution suggests itself: to use existing hardware in combination with additional software.In this situation, no problem can be implemented with the distribution of WiFi laptop or desktop system unit.For these purposes, the most commonly used two programs:
- Connectify;
- VirtualRouterPlus.
It is their setting and will be devoted to this material.
Connectify
This is one of the most popular solutions for the distribution of WiFi has been realized with the laptop.Connectify - a software product company of the same name Philadelphia.There are two versions - paid and free.The first of these is the index «Pro», and the second - «Lite».The difference between them is in certain limited functionality.The professional version is available more features, and it greatly expands the capabilities of the virtual transmitter.To set this program, the following:
- Download the version of the installation from the official website of the developer.
- install it.
- Making reboot the PC.
- find on the taskbar shortcut to this program and go to its settings.
- Just need to install the network name and password to access it.
- Next you need to pay attention to the drop-down list «Internet».Then select the source of the information.That is, the connection is to be used for data transmission.
- The next step is to include all wireless connections.To do this, just click on the corresponding icon on the taskbar and in the window that opens, use them.
- then go in the "Device Manager" (Start \ Control Panel \ Device Manager).In the window that you want to include Wi-Fi-transmitter.
After this distribution of WiFi from your laptop or desktop PC is ready and can be connected to the global web.
VirtualRouterPlus
This is a simple program than the above.It is enough to download from the official site and extract the archive.Then run it (file with the extension «exe»).In the window that opens, enter the name of the network created and password to access it.In the latter field, select the source of the information.Then a message appears stating that the launch of a virtual network has been successful, and the distribution of WiFi from your laptop or PC will be done without any problems.The benefits from this program in comparison with the analogue of the following:
- long list of supported operating systems (XP, Vista, 7 and 8);
- no need for special installation.
Cons is she such:
- fewer options;
- no official support of the developer.
Conclusions In this article described how the program can be implemented through the distribution of WiFi laptop or PC using the integrated hardware resources.This solution allows you to save a certain amount, but it is not necessary to abuse it, and as soon as possible is recommended to buy a router.After all - it is an additional burden on the computer from which it generates the resource reliability.Nothing complicated about it.This task can handle each.
