Easy way to setup your computer into a wifi router

This will show you how to easily create wireless
hotspot on your computer to share internet with
other computers, iPhones, iPads, Android and
even use it to PING on Blackberry without BIS etc
by creating a wireless hotspot on your computer.
Now people own many devices which are nothing
without internet connections and subscribing to
them all is not economical.
Personally I didn’t know Blackberry devices can
ping without BIS before now but yes, I do ping on
my blackberry 9930 using wireless connection
from my computer.
The number of devices that can be connected is
unlimited also, so you can connect your friend’s
laptops, connect your iPhone, iPad, Androids all
sharing the same internet.
Trust me they are many software that can
achieve this, most of them are not free like the
popular Connectify but this method by using
Virtual Router Manager is the easiest I have
come across and is totally free.
Steps to share Internet via wireless from
computer to other devices
1. Downloadd Virtual Router Manager
2. Install it on your Windows Computer
3. Open the Virtual Router Manager and type
in a Network Name (SSID) , also type in a
password, (note it must be up to 8
characters), select the internet
connection you want to share
4. Now click start Virtual Router Manger
5. Now you can turn-on wireless on your
devices and you will see the network
name, connect to it with the password
you have created and you will have
internet access from the computer.
If when you clicked start Virtual Router Manager
you get a message that says “group or resource
is not in the correct state to perform the
requested operation” then all you have to do is
on your start menu search CMD and right-click on
it and run as administrator when a DOS
environment comes up just type in this “netsh
wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ” without the
quote and hit enter, now it should work fine.
If you need any further help just comment below
and I will reply you.
