  <p>I want to create a public Wifi network without any encryption or authentication in order to emulate a public hotspot for Android development purposes. I'm looking for the cheapest way</p>
  
  <p>While Windows provides ways to host an Infrastructure network, it seems to be impossible to create a public network. I know I can buy a cheap router/soapbox*, but I'm looking for a software way. Using Windows. Possibly free</p>
  
  <p>Then I can play with my own captive portal emulation using Apache and a few DNS tricks.</p>
