This is useful if you would like to create a local area network for accessing nearby computers without necessarily granting them access to your Internet connection. Selecting 'No Internet sharing ' will allow you to broadcast a wireless network without allowing clients to connect to the Internet through your computer.There are a few special connections listed here that are not 'real' connections: Note: If a source has 'PRO' listed next to it, or you see 'PRO/MAX only feature', that means it is unavailable in the free version of Connectify Hotspot but is available to those with a PRO or MAX license. In addition, it will also tell you why it picked that option. If a source is not listed in the dropdown menu, Connectify Hotspot cannot identify it as a functioning device or connection. Hotspot also provides a 'Help Me Pick' link that will automatically select an adapter that has a connection to the Internet and can be used. The source selected here will be the one through which hotspot clients will connect. What should I choose for 'Internet to Share'?įrom the 'Internet to Share' dropdown menu, you will see the available sources of the Internet that you can share.
