You need a router if you want to connect to the internet from your iPhone for example. But what if you do not have a router and you don’t want to purchase one right now? If that is the case, then you need to know that a solution to your problem is offered by the appropriately named Free WiFi Hotspot application. With this free application you can turn your laptop/notebook into a portable WiFi hotspot.

A wizard will help you download and install Free WiFi Hotspot on your Windows-powered computer – any Windows edition from Windows XP up to Windows 8.
The minimum system requirements for running Free WiFi Hotspot are: 500Mhz processor, 256MB of RAM, 50MB of free disk space, 800x600 resolution.
The recommended system requirements for running Free WiFi Hotspot are: 1GHz processor, 100MB of free disk space, 1024x768 screen resolution.

At the top of the application’s interface there’s a section that allows you to set up the Hotspot ID and password. Underneath it there’s a section that allows you to create/start the WiFi hotspot, stop the WiFi hotspot, get detailed info about the internet connection, and access the Help.
And underneath that there’s a dropdown menu that lists your internet connections and allows you to share the internet connection you want.

Say you have an internet connected laptop, an Android smartphone and an iPad tablet. Thanks to Free WiFi Hotspot you can turn your laptop into a WiFi hotspot for your smartphone and tablet. Instead of using up your data plan, you can connect to the WiFi hotspot created with Free WiFi Hotspot.

Free WiFi Hotspot provides a free alternative to buying a router. As long as you have a laptop or notebook that is connected to the internet, you can turn that laptop/notebook into a WiFi hotspot for all your devices that need to get online.

Pros

The minimum as well as the recommended system requirements are quite low. Little time will be spent on figuring out the interface. Use Free WiFi Hotspot to turn your laptop or notebook into a WiFi hotspot; use Free WiFi Hotspot to share your laptop’s internet connection with other devices. As the name points out, this software is free.

Cons

During the download and installation process you are repeatedly asked to install additional software on your PC.
