popular use cases

At Home

connectify can easily act as a repeater for your home router, extending its range and providing internet access wherever you need it. Connect to your home network, enter the same wi-fi name and password, and hit "start hotspot." devices will automatically connect to the internet through either your connectify hotspot or home router depending on proximity. Before you know it you can finally have internet access in that impossible back room or basement. In addition, if you run connectify away from home with these settings, any devices that need to be bound to a specific network (such as eye-fi cards or wireless printers) will work flawlessly with no additional configuration no matter where you are!

On the Road

connectify placed second in lifehacker.com's top 10 downloads for a road warrior laptop and it's not hard to see why. For the road warrior, internet connectivity is a lifeline. Airports, hotels, and coffee shops know this and charge accordingly, often as much as $10-$15 per day, per connection! These fees can quickly add up when traveling with friends or co-workers. The handful of hotels that do provide free internet access occasionally only supply you with an ethernet jack, which leaves wi-fi only devices and smart phones in the dark. Even the lucky few that have mobile 3g cards or adapters are limited to a single connection. Because connectify is free to download and use, users can save money on multiple wi-fi connections while on the road and still get all their devices online simultaneously.

At College

many schools and private institutions have restrictive limits on the amount of devices an individual can have registered to their wireless networks. In this day and age, these quotas are quickly exceeded by the wide variety of wi-fi enabled devices (such as smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and gaming systems) we use on a regular basis. With connectify running on a laptop or desktop pc, you can circumvent these limits and securely connect any number of devices to your personal wi-fi network.

Offline Networking

even without an active internet connection, you can still run a connectify hotspot. This provides wireless access to shared folders or drives on your network as well as the ability to play lan games with others.
