Wifi Assist

Staying connected to the Internet can be very important in today's highly interconnected world. Wireless networks have been of great help with this issue, as one can find such hotspots almost everywhere. Digital tools that create WiFi networks from common connections are largely 'responsible' for this development and Wifi Assist is one such application allowing its users to share their Local Area Connection.

It should be noted that the program does not work with versions of Windows later than the 7 installment. Other than this technical bit, one also requires a network adapter device; no other knowledge is needed to generate hotspots, as the lightweight tool is highly easy to install and deploy.

All the standard configuration settings are available, such as defining the new network's SSID, as well as the password to be used, and the source shared network. Creating the new hotspot requires just that one clicks on the "Start" button and new devices can connect to the network instantly.

Unfortunately, one cannot adjust more advanced settings, such as the ability to control the transfer speed, or the number of user connections. Also, once a hotspot is live, administrators don't have the option to disconnect devices. Although the ability to adjust these preferences is not essential, having them does significantly improve the overall performance, especially in the area of privacy and security.

The interface is highly intuitive and efficiency-geared, as one only has one window to employ. Three standard settings fields handle the “SSID”, “Password”, and “Shared Network” preferences and an on-screen button allows users to generate hotspots.

Summing up, Wifi Assist is a lightweight and practical solution for anyone looking for methods of generating a WiFi network. The tool requires a network adapter and is not compatible with any versions of Windows later than 7. Password-protected hotspots are supported and one can also customize SSID names.
