Default Windows 7 – Your Next Wi-Fi Hot spot

It turns out that there is an unfinished feature in Windows 7 hidden away, a developer has found a partially completed feature that will allow any laptop to turn into a wireless access point, allowing all Wi-Fi enabled devices to share that connection. All you have to do is install a small piece of software and away you go

Works awesomely. Using it in my dorm room to get internet to my laptop while my desktop is plugged into the walljack. Sweet.

Surprised that it worked well. I got full bars on my laptop for connecting, and decent speed. Granted I just browsed a few pages, it seemed good though. Will have to run a SpeedTest on both my desktop/laptop while hooked up.
