Following my post few months back about how to set up a simple script to share your connection with Android devices in particular, I found that there was no application which provided full capabilities as my batch scripts did. I started work on a very simple application to convert these scripts into an easy to use application. Today I am releasing first version of this application.
Why AndroidWifi?
While reading this post, some of you might be wondering, why use AndroidWifi? why go through all these steps?
The answer is simple. This is the only free software available to date which enables you to share all types of internet connections over wifi.
These include:
Update 13/08/2013: I am seeing people copying this blogpost as it is on their blogs. For this reason I have put a password on the file.
The software can be downloaded at:AndroidWifi_0.9 AndroidWifi_0.91 AndroidWifi_0.95
