Virtual Router Manager is a helpful tool because it allows you to wirelessly share an internet connection with any Wi-Fi device. If you have a router that does not offer Wi-Fi, then Virtual Router Manager can alleviate your internet woes by allowing you to build a network from the comfort of your home. After you download the program, simply input your network name (SSID), create a password and click "Start Virtual Router." Within seconds, your PC will be able to operate as a full-fledged Wi-Fi router, allowing you to use the newly created hotspot and connect to the internet with your laptop, tablet, smartphone, or any other Wi-Fi-enabled device.

Possibly the best perk that VRM offers is the ability to cut the cord and ditch your wired internet connection. No longer will you have to rely on cables and cords to access the internet with all of your devices. You can do it wirelessly thanks to Virtual Router Manager. This also means that all of your friends and family members can use your hotspot to access the internet. The other great feature that this app provides is its ease of use. All that's required is a PC with either Windows 7 or Windows 8 and an internet connection from a router. If you meet these requirements, you can download VRM and create a Wi-Fi hotspot wherever you are.

The primary interface of this application is so simple and straight-forward that even a novice computer user can have Virtual Router Manager up and running in no time. However, while it is easy to use, the tradeoff is that it is also limited in its functionality. There's no options for designing your hotspot or the ability to customize how you want it to function. But if all you're looking for is an easy way for all of your devices to access the internet, then Virtual Router Manager is a great option.
