Most of the recent laptops and netbooks already comes with wireless capability allowing you to connect to wifi hotspots. Previously I’ve written a few guides (XP, Vista, Hotspot) on how to share the wireless Internet connection without a wireless router. Let’s say you have a direct connection to the Internet via network cable and the computer has a wireless adapter. Since your computer is connected via cable, the wireless adapter will not be in use and it is possible to make the wireless adapter to share the Internet connection that you are getting from the cabled connection. This saves you from spending money in buying a wireless router.
However, the steps are quite long are involves a lot of steps. Moreover there are also many different network configurations and the steps that I’ve written might not work for you. Good news is I found a free software called Connectify which is able to “EASILY” turn your Windows 7 computer into a wireless router with only one click. Trust me, sharing an internet connection using your wireless adapter cannot get any easier than this!
1. Fill up this form to obtain the Connectify download link. The page mentioned that the link will be sent to the e-mail address but
2. Download and install Connectify. (The installer ConnectifyInstaller.exe is only 1.41MB in size)
3. Select the Internet connection you wish to share (My internet connection is coming from Local Area Connection and Connectify automatically selected it)
