You are very valuable for us !
If you have any feature you want to be added or you need any modifications please mail us at ravieeswar@virtualwifirouter.com. or drop a comment we will contact you.
We will do the required changes and we will send you .
irst time I used this today (useful to share the Fonera connection in my laptop with friends) and I have some suggestions:
ReplyDelete1- Add a checkbox to view the password in the input boxes in the configuration menu (rather than a balloon tooltip)
2- Save "router" configuration (currently it must be reconfigured everytime I use the app)... Maybe saving multiple setups could be useful?
3- Move the configure screen to a tab (rather than a window
4- Set max number of "clients" you allow to connect to your PC (and maybe whitelist/blacklist MACs... limit connections to only whitelisted MACs is useful)
5- The "R" in the taskbar is automatically hidden (along with other apps in my system). When I however press the "R" the list of the other hidden icons doesn't automatically disappear (unlike it happen when you press the battery, volume and others) and will appear over the VWRouter menu for some seconds
Thank you Tekla .. would definitely do that.. thanj you for your valuable suggestions ..
ReplyDeleteHello, let me add, if you can code a way to throttle the shared bandwidth that wouls be extremely useful. I want to be able to share my connection but i don't want whoever is using it hog the whole bandwidth. I would actually pay for something like that. I volunteer to beta test if you can try something like that
ReplyDeleteI will definitely try that.. as i have to do this work out of my other works it may be late .. even i was thinking of doing the things you have suggested lie blacklisting mac and white listing mac. Will let you know for sure once i do that..
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if i was saying this correctly but what i meant was bandwidth speed control, like upload and download speed for the user.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to hide SSID in a future release? Thats a typical feature of a normal AP. Would be great! I love the program!
ReplyDelete@VibrantLife : Windows will not allow me to do so .. but after reading a lot about it if you wanted it for security i read that there is no extra security just that it doesn't show it doesn't mean that it has more security .. i read that people generally think that hiding ssid is a level of security..but it is not.. any way i will further look into it and will let you know definitely if i find a solution
ReplyDeleteHi, I would like to refresh this subject.
DeleteIs it possible to add a hiding SSID feature?
BTW, this is the first program that worked on my Win7 computer.
It would be cool if there can be remote access to other computers its just a little something extra
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Effective tool. It´s working fine with my Windows in portuguese, with version 2.0.1.5. I can share my laptop´s 3G internet connection with both my Kindle and desktop. Thanx a lot. Only one issue: the 'Clients Connected' tab doesn't show any clients connected, neither Kindle nor desktop. I refreshed several times with no use. Best regards.
ReplyDelete@Dival : Thank you for using my tool .. there are issues in computers other than English , i first made the basic features working ... And i am trying to solve those issues .. I have to make out time , out of my office work so its getting very difficult to reproduce and fix it .. I am working hard.. I am planning to start coding of version 3 with these fixes .. but it will take time..
ReplyDeletethanks every one for lot of suggestions and ideas.. i would definitely keep in mind all these things in my next major release.. I still have to start coding .. and its is still in planning ... As always I am the only one to do so it may take time ..
ReplyDeleteRegarding my last message, about clients´ invisibility in "Clients Connected" tab: I´m using Avast 6.0.1289 "Internet Security" (full version). I´m adding this info because I have to deactivate Avast in order to use the virtual wi-fi router. Activated, Avast allow to establish the hotspot and others devices to connect, but not to tranfer data via virtual wi-fi router. Thanks.
ReplyDelete@Dival : That issue might be due to firewall .. so in my next major version i will add an entry in firewall to avoid this..please go to firewall advanced security and add this program as exception in inbound and outbound rules .. i think it will work for you..
ReplyDeletePerhaps a number of people would like to see a portable version. Connectify does has but asks for a password when used in organizational settings. Unsure if there is a way around this.
ReplyDelete@Ai Abe : All my releases are portable versions.
ReplyDeleteFriends I have a little problem I would like to help me, I'm connecting to a 3G moden in a laptop hp movistar, nose which is the connection that I share the 3G connection if movistar or wireless network, in any case enable the shared 3G connection below is a tab that says home networking and connections are the following-Select a private network connection, local area connection, network connection inalambricay there that left the default even though I select the connection test wireless then I get a message that you can not save the username and password that I create a session for each device to be connected in order to not pay atenncion accept myself and I'm going to virtual wifi router and selected the 3G connection movistar then Setup, and then press start and I get a message where is the icon that says "enable the wifi adapter" and check the status of wireless device is enabled
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a memory leak.
ReplyDeleteAfter connecting a device, when I click on "refresh," the memory usage starts increasing. There may be other leaks too, because the program starts out at around 25MB usage and grows to 60+MB after some time.
I think the memory usage can be greatly reduced because the program doesn't really need to do anything once it has started the hotspot. In fact, you can safely exit the program after you've started and configured the hotspot, and start it again if you want to change the password, etc.
In fact, I think a couple of batch files should suffice for the job. :)
After trying Connectify and Virtual Router with no luck, I got this working nicely. I just have a question about launching it after a reboot, Is there any way to start it automatically after a reboot or change of users without interaction from the users? I have it in my startup folder but it still requires the start button. Is their any command line options to start auto? It looks and works great so thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteas I do not have admionistrator privileges on my work notebook, I would like to be able to install VirtualWiFiRouter once with my admin an use it as a normal user afterwards.
Is that possible?
Thanx, Tom

ReplyDeleteplease enable the wifi adapter?? i can't connection pls
ReplyDeletewhat
ReplyDeletehow about automatically start when window starts up.. ;D
ReplyDeleteHow do I configure this for my PS3 ??
ReplyDeleteI was hoping it would work as it really boosts the signal in my room which is normally not very good due to the router being in my parents bedroom.
I think i'd have to enter the IP manually when configuring it on the PS3 instead of 'Auto' but I dont know what to put in for the values.
no internet access?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.virtualwifirouter.com/p/configuring-first-time.html
ReplyDeleteI add sharing to internet .. but some times if it fails doing that .. there is a simple way .. Please check the link above.. there if you scroll down i have written how to enable internet sharing manually..
could you add wpa only for psp?
ReplyDeleteAmazing tool.. Able to connect my Android and another laptop when at home. But have not been able to connect my Android at office. I keep getting an error message "Failed to Start :(". At office I've connected my laptop via a LAN cable. Not sure if any further information is required.
ReplyDeleteim having the same issue on windows 10 :(
Deleteworks on my windows7, i would like to request an auto restart of the virtual hotspot in case of disconnected internet connection, right now if my connection drops and reconnects automatically, the hotspot stays off.
ReplyDeleteAmazing Tool.It is Awesom
ReplyDeleteThis is a great bit of software,but I would like the following feature:
ReplyDeleteMost of us college students are behind the institute proxy servers/firewalls.However,there is no provision to enter a proxy address in the software.
Please include HTTP,and SOCKS4,SOCKS5 proxy(with username and password) in the configuration.
Thanks,
kmmankad
Awesome tool...Just works!
ReplyDelete**Uninstalling connectify
This is an awesome tool, i'm sharing internet across all the pcs and laptops at home without buying a router. However, failing to transfer files across the machines thru R. Windows 7 firewall is off, using Kaspersky Internet Security and maybe thats the issue but when i go to its firewall, R does come up, not sure how to allow it.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much !!! great application !!! It saves me ! =)
ReplyDeletePlease add proxy support, so the program will share the proxy connection.
ReplyDeleteThis will help people who are in university.
HTTP proxy would be an awesome addition!
ReplyDeleteThis Application will help us a lot. How about "Automatically start when window starts up and Start the Service" even without clicking the Start button.
ReplyDeleteHello, thanks for this application. It works great however, my router disables automatically after a period of time. Please help me
ReplyDeleteCan you change the type of security your wifi will give off? And this is a great program i use it all the time thanks :)
ReplyDeleteen que parte del programa veo... cual es la seguridad que tien la conection ,,, gracias espero pronta respuesta,, buena herramienta excelente
ReplyDeleteMy friend suggested me to visit your blog Dallas Web Development
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your hard work for creating this software.
The tool's usability and user interfaces are very appreciable and the performance is also good.
However one thing concerns me is security as no encryption methods are mentioned.
Kindly work on this part as this is an important feature missing from the application.
Overall, I give your app **** for the installer, stability, performance, usability, user interface.
I don't see any connected client in the corresponding tab, but everything else works wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for this great application. Everybody I know appreciates this software.
ReplyDeleteI think these two requirements would be very helpful:
1) To have a flag, so the pre-configured wifi starts with the application (no more need to click on "Start")
2) To have a flag, to start the application minimized
Hello Ravikanth Eeswar. :)
ReplyDeleteI have used your software and it's very useful. I am just wondering if you can add a feature that automatically checks for updates so that the users would be reminded if a new update is available. Thank you and more power! :)
When walking away from the signal range and coming back, the reconnection is failing at obtaining ip-adress. have to restart the program to run correctly again. this interrupts the main internet connection so apps like internet radio and cloud based apps are timed out
ReplyDeleteI experienced a bug where I was constantly being told that the password has to be 8 characters long. Naturally it happened after I typed a shorter password and clicked the start button. However once this message appeared it wouldn't stop appearing until the application was restarted. Not sure if it's a unique case or if you're already aware of this. I just wanted you to know. All in all a great app.
ReplyDeleteI want it automatically started during windows startup please...so there will be no need of pressing the start router button everytime we open our laptops..I think thats the only ingridient lacking of being the greatest there is.
ReplyDeletewow--one last feature needed...Because i want it to be kept a secret that I am the one who is transmiting wifi..could you please PUT AN OPTION THAT MAKES IT SILENT DURING STARTUP..WHAT I MEAN IT DOES NOT SHOW THE MENU DURING AND AFTER START UP..MAKING AN OPTION TO AUTOMATICALLY MINIMIZE AT SYSTEM TRAY..I THINK THE WIFI BANNER IS OK..BUT THE MENU IS VERY OBVIOUS TO ONLOOKERS--OFFICE LIFE IS DIFFICULT WITHOUT WIFI AND PROHIBITED..
ReplyDeleteWhy the refresh button is not anymore available for v3.0? unlike v.2 it is always available while router is Alive. I also noticed that I am now experencing hard connectivity with v3, I am always restarting it since refresh function is disabled...Please check I would return to v2.0 if not for the run at startup function of v.3...Please correct this functions.....
ReplyDeleteThis tool doesn't work with the Wifi Network adapter - Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205
ReplyDeleteI am running Windows 7 Professional with SP1.
Please do the needful. Many thanks.
A wonderful tool, thx 10k times for that.
ReplyDelete1) To disable the Security would be a great feature to me, because
sometimes it is helpful to get a secureless clients connected.

ReplyDeleteEl source para que todos podamos trabajar en el :)
ReplyDeleteHello, I've just installed your software and tried to share my internet connection to my cellphone. It is connected to wifi but when I try to open an interneet explorer or any app which uses internet, it appears as it is not connected to any network. I checked the hosted network supported and it says yes. I can't find the problem, could you help me?
ReplyDeletecan u please something through which we can view which websites people vist on our wifi?

ReplyDeleteHi i like this software it is good but make this for andriod please
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIt didn't work for me (win 7 / fix Windows6.1-KB2496820-x86 installed).
I got the message : "Virtual Wifi router failed to start" (I run it under administrator rights)
When I tried to run manually the wifi sharing using shell command line, I got the following message after the commands :
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mod=allow ssid=MySSID key=MyPassWd
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
"The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation"
I have tried to deactivate and reactivate the network cards.
I have checked the drivers of the network cards which are up-to-date.
I have rebooted the machine.
And it is still the same behavior, with Virtual Wifi router or Cmd lines.
So, If you have any ideas ! :))

ReplyDeleteI can't create a password. It says more than 8 characters while mine was over than 8 characters. Help!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey!
ReplyDeleteThere is bug in my computer. When I click 'Stop', the application crashes.
I'm with the latest version of your program, and running Windows 8.1 Enterprise.
What can I do?
Hi .
ReplyDeletei liked your software .. very light and portable , quite easy to use ... but there is a couple of things are missing in your software ... firstly the encryption methods are not shown and hide SSID feature is missing ...
Thank you for this great application.
ReplyDeleteBut we can connect only one device, kindly help us to connect more device.
It will be cool if you could add suport to WEP security too.
ReplyDeleteI have a Nintendo DS and want to connect it, but it only work with WEP...
Hello, thank you for that great sofware, its very usefull, would be great to have the ability to hide the SSID so the wifi connection will be not visible and you only can connect it having the SSID and password.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI also would appreciate a feature for hiding the SSID.
Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI also would appreciate a feature for hiding the SSID.
