Enable Virtual WI-FI on your PC

Windows 7 includes a little-known new feature called Virtual Wi-Fi, which effectively turns your PC or laptop into a software-based router.



What is Virtual Router?

Virtual Router is an open source software based router for PCs running Windows 7 and its freely available for users.
Through Virtual Router, users can share their internet connection with any Wi-Fi device (Laptop, Smart Phone, iPod Touch, Net book, wireless printer, etc.)
These devices connect to Virtual Router just like any other access point, and the connection is completely secured using WPA2 (the most secure wireless encryption.).
By using Virtual Router you can establish most secure wireless access point without any cost.


Features of Virtual Router Manager :
1.Added Installation Check for Windows 7 / 2008 R2 or later
2.Added ability to customize the icon displayed for a particular device / connected peer. To do this, either "double click" the connected peer, or "right click" and select "properties".http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
3.Added Network Name (SSID) and Password Field Validation. SSID can not be longer than 32 characters, and Password must be at least 8 characters and no more than 64 characters.
4.Persist SSID and Password across executions so that the user doesn't have to type it in every time.
5.The First time Virtual Router Manager is run the Password/Passphrase field is blank. This is to encourage users to enter their own password instead of just using the "default" value in an effort to help increase the overall security. This way there is no "default" password for hackers to try connecting with.

Note : Virtual Wi-Fi can be done without using any software but this is the simplest and secure way to create an Virtual Wi-Fi Router
