What is Reddit's opinion of Virtual Router?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Yeah I'm pretty sure you can't connect if you have only a 3DS...

However, you can easily use your laptop as a virtual router and have it connect through there. I used this program to connect my 3DS to the internet and it seems to work fine.

There's this if you have an Ethernet connection to your laptop with a compatible wireless card. Other than that, you might want to use your smartphone, while connected to some other WiFi, as an AP for your 3DS. Don't run it off of your data plan. I think most support wpa2-psk using AES.

BTW, do you mean tkip when you said wpa2-tisk? I've never heard of a protocol with that abbreviation before.

In this case, if you want free, which free is always good. You can install a virtual router program on your laptop and setup an ad-hoc network between the two devices and share files that way. This method ignores your building's Wi-Fi and connects the two devices directly. Ex: http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/

Connect to your wifi with your laptop, then use this: http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/

Connect your ps4 to the wifi you created, you should have nat type 2 internet! At least, this is what I do in a similar situation.

Hi there,

I found the free equivalent to Connectify! It is located at Virtual Router. After trying everything else possible this one worked for me. Follow the same steps outlined here but with Virtual Router instead of connectify.

You could try something like this: http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/

That should let you share Internet from your laptop (while directly connected to ethernet), and it should bypass the 'log in through a web browser' thing, just sharing the Internet connection your laptop already has (because you already did the browser log in thing on there, right?). I've only tried doing this using a MacBook for a Nintendo DS before, so I don't know for sure if this would provide the same functionality. Erm, does your xbox even have wireless access?

wait wait wait. Do you have a WiFi card in your laptop, but you're hooked up via a cable?

If so, I am in the same situation as you when I'm out on the road. If you are and are running windows 7, there is an easy software solution.

If you are on XP, there is virtual router software available, it's just a tad bit harder to configure.

Another option would be to connect your laptop with Ethernet and use it to create your own wifi network. Assuming you're using Windows you can check out www.connectify.me or http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com

Just for future reference, the type of program you're looking for is called a Virtual Router. There are many paid options, but I have used this free program (http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/) and it does exactly what you're looking for. Watusa is right about the chipset. But in short, if the laptop came with windows 7, you should be able to do this. If you upgraded from vista or xp, it's a little iffy. I'd recommend giving this program a try, and see if you like it enough to get your money back for the Wifi range extender. Hope this helps!

I'm on the road so I can't link or anything, but I think I remember another post where somebody talked about a program called Virtual Router or something.

Edit: Here - http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com Haven't used it so I don't know if/how well it works.

This is not my Guide, but one I found on PSO-World.

>Alright a simple guide to get pso2 vita to work with a VPN right now. The only requirements are a computer with wifi, and 2 minutes of your time.

>1-First start off with installing your vpn of choice on your pc, in this case I will follow through with vpn gate. Note that this will not work with pingzapper, wtfast or any other ping related server.

>2-Once you are done with that head over to http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/ and install virtual router.

>3-Connect to your vpn and make sure it's working properly.

>4-Now open the virtual router, edit network name and password to whatever you want.

>5-Under shared connection be sure to select the correct network, in vpn gate's case it should be called vpn-vpn adapter.

>6-Click start virtual connection.

>7-You should now find a new wifi on your vita with the name you chose earlier, connect to it then check your location on the browser.

>8-It should show up as Japan, if it does then open the game and play. If not you either chose the wrong adapter or something went wrong.

You know, it didn't occur to me when I wrote the comment that the Galaxy doesn't have an ethernet port. No, that was a bad suggestion and I apologize.

However, if you use something like this - and please bear in mind that I have no experience with this specific software, only the concept - you can get a Windows 7 machine to act as a router.

How this would work: you'd plug your Galaxy into the "router" machine, probably your own laptop/tower, via USB, and use tethering to provide it with internet access.

Then it would serve a wifi network, using the machine's wireless card, to other devices in your house. You'd use the software router's access controls to disable access to Facebook for your sister.

This is obviously not a long-term solution, but it will tide you over until you can come up with something more permanent. All of this would be easier, I'm sorry to say, with conventional web access.
