Create a Wifi Hotspot with Your PC

Besides being a blogger, I work as a lecturer as well. Working in an office with only LAN cable port is torturing, especially when I want to use my iPad. What should I do? Of course I don't want to do a dozen of setup just to create a virtual hotspot. I also don't intend to spend money on extra wireless router. So, again, what should I do??? Don't worry about that, we certainly have the solution for you, and it's perfectly simple.

Connectify is what you need. Just click on the link to download the application for Windows PC. After installing the application, they will prompt you update to the PRO version. You can omit that one as the "Lite" version is already sufficient enough for home users. When you are done, you will need to reboot your PC. By rebooting your PC, the Connectify application will launch at your startup. There's no complicated setup, you just need to set your hotspot name and password. Then select the wifi adapter that you are using to amplify the wifi signal. You also need to select the network card of your PC (which you use to receive broadband signal from the LAN cable). That's it! Now plug in your LAN cable and wait for the hotspot name which you set to appear on your iPad Wifi detection list. Tap on your hotspot and type in the password that you set just now and you are now ready to surf!
