The Wireless Network create\/shared with Virtual Router uses WPA2 Encryption, and there is not way to turn off that encryption. This is actually a feature of the Wireless Hosted Network API’s built into Windows 7 and 2008 R2 to ensure the best security possible. You can give your “virtual” wireless network any name you want, and also set the password to anything. Just make sure the password is at least 8 characters.<\/p>\n

If you find that the Virtual Router does not directly initialize or start once you install it, you need to make sure that the latest device drivers are installed for the wifi device. The service is encrypted with WPA2 which makes it secure for the connection so that others cannot access it illegally. <\/p>\n

Overall a simple and useful application which would allow you to share your Internet connection with others using the operating system programs. Try this out and let us know which one of all these wifi hot spot creation software’s do you like?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
