Thinix WiFi Hotspot allows you to share your Internet connection. In this regard, the tool can create a virtual access point that can substitute expensive network hardware. This way, you can easily link various types of devices, including PCs, laptops, smartphones, and tablets, which makes it ideal for home use. Fortunately, it supports multiple network card models as well as sharing Wi-Fi as well as 3G/4G connections.

The program works with a minimum intervention on your part as it can detect the available hardware. Yet, you can also configure various parameters, such as hotspot name, automatic program startup and Internet connection to share. Moreover, if you are worried about intruders connecting to your hotspot, it is possible to use a key or even let the program create new ones automatically. Likewise, you can set filters that prevent other users from accessing blacklisted websites.

From the program’s interface, it is possible to monitor the hotspot status by watching some parameters and information. For example, it shows if the hotspot is currently active and how many client devices are connected.

To sum up, Thinix WiFi Hotspot definitely solves a problem if you need to provide Internet services to various users and devices on a temporary basis; however, it is more advisable to use dedicated hardware if you intend to create a permanent network. Although it definitely deserves a try, you should also know that, unlike other similar products, it cannot be used for free and will stop working after a given number of hours unless you pay the necessary price.
