Use Windows 7 to create a Wi-Fi network without using router

If you have got Wi-Fi in your laptop and have Windows 7 installed in it then you can easily turn it into a Wi-Fi hotspot and share your net connection with other people in the range and Virtual Router is the easiest way to do so.

Virtual Router is an open source software which leverages the Wireless Hosted Network API which is a part of the new Windows Operating Systems (Windows 7 and Windows server 2008).

The program is really simple to use. After downloading and installing the software all you have to do is specify the network name and password to access this network. It uses theWPA-2 encryption to protect the wireless network from unwanted users.

The program requires only 20mb of RAM and is pretty simple to understand and use. Requires Windows 7 or Windows server 2008 to run.
