There may be situations where your wireless router may go in for a repair, or if it needs to be replaced and you are unable to access your Internet connection. In such a scenario, you may want

Connectify

to convert your computer into a Wi-Fi router. With Connectify, you can creat a software based Wi-Fi router. In this way you can share your Internet connection with laptops, netbooks, or even other Wi-Fi enabled mobile devices.

Installation Complete

Once installed, Connectify will be found running in the Notification Tray next to the system clock. It might not be visible, because Windows 7 has cleaned up the Notification Tray to hide the icons that you don’t frequently use. If you click on the small white triangle it will show all of the icons, including the Connectify radio wave icon.
