Turn your Windows 7 laptop into a Wireless Access Point - FREE

in

Why you need it:

You have to setup an impromptu wireless access point to share files, internet, etc.  (I use this with my built-in wireless 3G modem to create my own personal MiFi type connection.

What you need is:

  1. PC running Windows 7
  2. Working wireless adapter (some intel ones don't work).
  3. Connectify Me Software (free beta).

Just download the roughly 1.5MB software and run to install it.  You just need to pick a WiFi name, a passphrase, and the internet connection access and whether you want to turn on the hotspot you've just created or turn it off.
