How to turn my laptop as a hotspot?
I'm living on campus and in the dorm it is possible to connect to internet only with one device ( laptop or iphone or ipad ) but sometimes I need to have two of them connected. How can I have my laptop as a hotspot so I can have other devices connected and the hostednetwork mode is not supported by my laptop.
so, how can I solve this problem? Is there any external device that I can use as a access point or something like that?
Hi you can try connectify, which is great. I use it all the time. Just make sure you don't have Hotspot Shield installed.
They are offering Lite, Pro and Max package.
Lite is completely free and should be enough for your needs. You can download it from here.

Max version has no restrictions, so if you want it you'll have pay a small fee for it.
- Will it cost me if I use 'personal hotspot' from my iphone to my laptop?

- Using Personal Hotspot with my DELL Laptop? Ok, so this idea just hit me. If I turn on the "Personal Hotspot" on my iPhone 5c (with 3G service on), and connect it to my computer via USB, will it make my laptop internet faster as well? The 3G service is So much more faster on my iPhone 5c than on my DELL Laptop! So will this help my laptop if I select my iPhone on the internet connection?
