It saved me a lot of trouble since I have unlimited mobile data on my phone. I need to connect my tablet to the internet and Conectify solved it. It can:
One of the best buy ever. No regrets. Doesn't cost a lot but pack with features. Recommended to anyone who need to share your internet mobile.
Great application use it daily
Where I sit and use my PC to the Wireless network is very weak. My system is hardwired in and I have to interest in using the wireless for any kind of networking on my system so when I came across Connectify I used the free version for about an hour and went and bought it right away. It allows me to be able to fire up and utilize the Wireless antenna in my system and use a formally useless just power wasting part of my system.
Pros:
Cons:
Bad interface that constantly bugs you to upgrade to max product, even though I already own it. Will never buy from them again.
Great Hotspot App for PC
Pro: I've been using this for years and still use it until now. Easy to manage all connected devices.
Cons: Sometimes i need to restart it's services to properly setup all devices to connect to hotspot. It's a little problematic to restart every time it's service when my device out of range /when i go outside.
Overall: I satisfy using this hotspot as my primary app for PC.
A great way to get connected!
I've been using Connectify for many years. In it's early days, I used it as a way to connect game consoles to my home network before I had a wireless internet setup. Now I find it great to create extra alternative wireless networks which run alongside the home network. If you ever want to set up a quick temporary guest network or need a dedicated file transfer network, this is as simple as it gets. I'm a fan and I'm glad I bought the software.
I buy Connectify HotSpot MAX from the official website, I was looking for a hotspot solution for my home, rather than purchasing physical device Connectify HotSpot Max convert the laptop to HotSpot point, moreover its has wifi repeater function to strengthen the signals in upper floors, it's easy to configure & reliable.
Connectify is best tool. I am using this software for last three years without any issue occurring. Configuration is very simple and support documents are very detailed and informative. Always recommended to my office colleagues and friends.
