Step 3: At the Settings tab in the window of Connectify , please enter the following information: Hotspot Name (your Wi-Fi network name when playing), Password (Wifi password, at least 8 characters). At the Internet To Share line, you choose the network you are using (wired network, 3G / 4G network from Dcom). At Advance Settings , you can keep the original selection from Connectify.
