Free Wi-Fi Hotspot 3 is used to share your computer’s internet connection by creating a password-protected wireless hotspot; you simply set the SSID and password in the app and click ‘Start’. This turns your wireless card into a virtual Wi-Fi router. You can use it to allow the connection of all your Wi-Fi gadgets (phone, tablet, laptops, etc.) to the secure network.
If you have any problems setting up or using Free Wi-Fi Hotspot 3, it includes a help section – this offers online tutorials, both written and videos, to talk you through creating, sharing, and protecting the Wi-Fi hotspots. The layout isn’t complicated – it has a basic interface that is easy to navigate, so you don’t have to search to find the functions you want to use. It allows you to select which connection you want to share if your device has more than one network connection. With Free Wi-Fi Hotspot 3 being a free service (as the name suggests) you expect to receive pop-ups and banners advertising ‘special offers’, however when updating this app, you are bombarded with these – some of which are quite difficult to find the option to decline.
So Free Wi-Fi Hotspot 3 is undoubtedly good value (it is free) if you are wanting to share your network connection with other devices, it has some security (all networks are password protected), and it has a useful integrated help section. The annoying ‘special offers’ are worth putting up with to access this free service.
Transform your notebook or laptop into a Wi-Fi hotspot.
