Create Your Own Wifi Hotspot With a Laptop and Virtual Router

Wireless internet connections are far more prevalent than they used to be, but there are still times when you may find that you are stuck using a wired connection and want to use it wirelessly — for instance, at a hotel with only wired internet but you want to get your tablet online.

Note: we’ve looked at how to turn your laptop into a wireless access point before, but the previous method involved some command line work, whereas what we’re doing today uses a simple GUI application called Virtual Router Plus.
