Download of the Week: Connectify

 

An indispensible application for road warriors and broadband users without a dedicated wireless router. Connectify lets you share your internet connection by creating a Wi-Fi hotspot using your laptop's wireless chipset, saving you the trouble of carrying a portable wireless router or networking equipment of any kind.

 

 

 

The free version, which has fewer features than the Pro version costing Rs. 1599, is still highly useful. It lets you create a Wi-Fi access point without any kind of trial or expiry period, any kind of nagware dialogs or popups. Setting up the software just takes a few easy steps, and in a few minutes you can be sharing your broadband or 3G connection with your friends and other networked devices.

Protip: Use Connectify with our App of the Week to transfer files wirelessly from your laptop to your Android device.
