How to turn a laptop into a wireless repeater

A wireless repeater is a piece of hardware or software that allows you to repeat or play back the main wireless signal, with the same network name and password. Most WiFi repeaters are hardware devices with antennas, which require you to set up and carry another device with you to stay connected.

For software, most wireless repeater applications do this without a bridging step. This means that clients participating in your hotspot receive a real IP address from the shared network, can access the Internet through a hotspot, but not actually on the network to do any work. like playing online games, streaming videos, etc.

The Connectify Hotspot wireless repeater software makes your Windows computer a WiFi repeater easily and is also an important bridge, helping to avoid any incompatibility problems and problems.
