Winhotspot is an efficient application that delivers easy means to create virtual Wi-Fi hotspots, which a variety of devices canconnect
 to in order to gain access to Internet.The principle that a hotspot is based upon is simple: using a single Internet connection, you can generate a network that shares its resources with anyone that owns the correct authentication login and password.Winhotspot is brought on a market that doesn’t fall short of such utilities, yet despite that, it became increasingly popular due to its ease of use and accessibility. The first step to creating a virtual Wi-Fi hotspot is to choose the Internet connection to be shared and to set a name and password for users to authenticate with. Once you press the ‘Start’ button, your connection will become shared and available to all users with a device equipped with Wi-Fi support. All connected clients are displayed in an another window, with additional details such as IP and MAC address, while WiFi stats (SSID, signal, channel, etc) are being shown in a separate section.Other highlights include upload / download statistics, as well as shortcuts to Windows’ Network Diagnostics utility and to theNetwork Connections area.During our tests, Winhotspot behaved quite nicely, allowing us to share our connection in a matter of seconds without taking a toll on system resources. One downside worth mentioning is the slow startup speed – it took almost a minute from when we launched it to the moment we actually got to see the GUI. The bottom line is that Winhotspot stands a pretty good chance of becoming even more popular with a more appealing design and better startup times. | |
