Connectify Hotspot enables users to turn a PC into a Wi-Fi Hotspot and share Internet with all nearby devices. It is a virtual router application that lets a user share Internet from a laptop with a smartphone, tablet, media player, e-reader, other laptops, and even your nearby friends. The vendor states it can be used it anywhere in the world without restrictions.
One of the better times Meraki Go has proven useful was when the Fresno Grizzlies have baseball games, and many people come to our brewery to watch it on our televisions or stream it on their phones. The quick internet service allows us to attract more patrons and also improves their day. Half of the time, people are coming into our bar just to use the internet and end up buying a few drinks! The business had shot up thanks to our switch from when the pandemic started in 2020.
Connectify Hotspot would be good for those that travel often and need to have internet access at all times (without having to find a public place with Wi-Fi). From my experience, it isn't as reliable as being connected to standard internet as it can disconnect occasionally, but it performs better than other hotspot options
Multiple devices can be connected with the same network, which eases the burden of securing multiple Internet connections, as we use a single Internet connection.
Devices such as Printers, Scanners, IoT devices can be connected with same Network.
It removes the need for Having a Physical WiFi router. This helps save some money, which is critical for Small Office Home Office.
It's good, it can be better, but it's good. We had problems with Outlook 365 disconnecting and their support wasn't able to help us. We spent a few hours on the phone and finally, one of our NOC guys decided to change the MTU. I'm sure their support is good, I just think that this time we didn't find the right person.
I would use Cisco Meraki Go for small business needs. I would rather use the full Cisco Meraki system for anything more than five people. Cisco Meraki Go is cheaper but regular Meraki is far more robust.
Connectify is always the first choice, as there multiple Wifi hotspot software are available, but with very limited function. However, Connectify has different solutions such as Speedify which also makes it a very favorable choice.
The ease of deployment can be moved from one site to another easily. There is no need for any source or managing controller and hence it can be easily moved with the same configuration. This type of solution is best for teams who work together and are on the move from one location to another and who rely on high performance and good security for their wifi network.
