A free software-based virtual wireless network creation application.

Virtual Router is a small, basic and free utility which allows you to convert your PC or laptop into a wireless hotspot.

Using the program is pretty easy, and upon launch, a wireless hotspot will be created automatically with the default SSID and a generated password.

Virtual Router can be useful in several situations, including when you'd like to share your Internet access with a mobile device such as a tablet or a cell phone. It can also be useful for situations where your hotel or lounge WiFi is limited to one device. Virtual Router can simply share one connection with other devices.

Overall, this application is quite basic and relies on the WiFi sharing feature that's built into Windows automatically, although only accessible from the command prompt.

Virtual Router is a user interface for something Windows is already capable of and quite useful.
