This application lets you use your phone as WIFI router without setting up anything in device. Let me if you guys like it.
This application has its own thread here on XDA-Developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357152. Don't really see the point of you posting the CAB here.. without all the information needed.
Well this message, in the wrong place, introduced me to your excellent application!
thank you
How do you turn off this wifirouter?? i got it working and works fine although i cant get my archos gen 5 to pick it up but i tuned it off but my computer still picks it up although it cnt connect to it
the app is connected but i am not connected to the internet on my laptop...any answers? i tried resetting a bunch of times
is it the trial version or the real thing? is there a free way of doing it.. does it work for windows 5
infrastructure mode?
is there a way to broadcast in infrastructure mode, instead of ad hoc? i would love to use a zune hd with this, but it is not able to see ad hoc networks. thanks.
???
the SSID is not showing up in my computer. All others (mine and my neighbors wireless connections) are showing up.
How to get my playstation 3 2 work with this router
Hi i am so damn frusterated right now with this. How do i get my ps3 to work with this router thing. My computer connects to it and recieves wifi. But when i try to find it with my ps3 it wont detect it. Does any one know how do i get this 2 work.
try this
1. connect ur trinity to ur laptop / pc via USB and run "internet sharing" on your trinity.
2. Set up an Ad-Hoc connection on your PC / Laptop and directly connect ur PS3 to it.
3. In network settings on your PC / Laptop click the ad-hoc connection icon and the windows mobile based device icon (Ctrl-Left click each one) right click one of them when their both selected and click on bridge connection from the drop down menu.
this method's a bit of a potch to set up but once its running it works perfectly and you only have to set it up once. it also lets you use the internet on your pc and ps3 at the same time.
I'm pretty late to this and NEW (newbie), but I wanted to make a quick post about it's use on my Imagio winmo 6.5 OS 5.2.21... no mods, no roms burned and this works perfectly. Now I can surf at work without the assistance of our helpful IT friends LOL.

Your laptop or pc picks up adhoc signals aswell as infrastructure, to be quiet honest, this app is very useless when advertised as a router, doesn't route anything if just limited to adhoc, adhoc = computer to computer connections, not a router to me at all! Its a very nice app for many other things though.. I see someone giving you instructions for 'ICS' doing all that just makes it all pointless and you may aswell just get a home router connected to house line!
This is one of my favourite apps. I've been using it for a long time now and just awesome.

Really love this app. Only problem is that it worked great the first time I launched it. Now it can't connect. It just keeps on cycling trying to connect to att gprs and finally says "the remote party has ended this connection". Any ideas?

It sounds like possibly your connection settings have been erased. Can you get internet in Explorer, etc? If so, please disregard this...
how do i load it in my phone
thanks for the share , can you explain how the procedure works , I want to create applications like these but still don't understand their concept
Closing as this is a duplicate thread for this one:

Hi,
i am currently trying to tether my tp2 with my mac book. With the xda orbit i had before the tp2 this was no issue at all however i cant seem to get it to work with the tp2. Problem is that the tp2 doesn't seem to advertise its PAN functionality anymore when the devices are paired. So the macbook thinks the tp2 doesn't support PAN. Now when I use the internet sharing app on the tp2, it tries to connect to the macbook and then tells me that the macbook wouldn't support PAN and therefore the connection cannot be shared. On the xda this worked slightly different: the xda would open up a PAN when I started internet sharing. Then i told the macbook to connect to this PAN. So i have a catch-22 here. Any ideas on how I could get this to work?
thank you,
Kork
On a funny sidenote: this worked yesterday for a few minutes. I activated connection sharing on the tp2, and it asked me where to connect to, i selected the macbook, et voila... This was actually even better than on my XDA as I could connect in a single step.
Today i just get the message that the target system (my Macbook) would not support PAN and therefore no connection could be made - which is an outright lie...
Called HTC about it. They were actually clueless and recommended to hard reset the device. Well I got all the time in the world, did a hard reset, no change. This still remains not working. Has anyone a working bluetooth tethering between the TP2 and Mac OS X?
Had a nice talk with Apple Support for half an hour now. We tried the usual stuff, and the guy was very friendly and trying to help me, but the bottom line was "we do not support windows mobile phones, htc has to make it work with a Mac". This came not totally unexpected though. So back to square one, I am not yet giving up. But no tethering is a blocker...
Okay, guys we are getting closer. I digged deeper into the Bluetooth Settings of Mac OS X and found out that the PAN set up is stored in com.apple.Bluetooth.plist in /Library/Preferences on the Mac. With my old XDA paired, i got some Entry in there called PANDevices and the Device-ID of the XDA in that list. The Device-ID of my TP2 was not in there. So i manually added the Device-ID of my TP2 and guess what - Tethering Happyness . Problem is, on any reboot, the setting gets lost. So i am going to write a small script that fixes the plist file. I'm doing a bit of testing as well, to see if this is really the fix, but I'm getting close.
Seems that wasn't it either. It seems that the restart of Mac OS X's bluetooth daemon actually did the trick, the changes in the file were actually pointless. So now I got reproducible behaviour:
1. Restart Computer
- Connection sharing from TP2 to Mac doesn't work.
2. Restart the bluetooth daemon
- sudo killall -HUP blued
3. In bluetooth preferences, click Advanced and tick "Share my internet connection with other bluetooth devices"
4. Start the internet sharing application on the TP2. Now it works. You have to repeat steps 1 to 3 if you reboot your Mac.
Going to give Apple another call, as this clearly looks like some bug on Mac OSX side.
This is exactly why if I get the TP2 I will be keeping my n78 or e71 as a backup phone. With Joiku Spot it makes it so easy to tether. Actually, I wonder if there is a program like Joiku Spot that would do this.
For those who don't know, Joiku Spot makes your phone a wireless hub, and creates a wireless network which your computer can attach, thus using the internet from your phone on your computer. I have a macbook, and with Joiku Spot, i'm getting roughly 1800 download speeds on my mac when i'm tethered.
There is: http://www.joikushop.com/?action=products&mode=productDetails&product_id=265 - > WMWifiRouter.
However, having WiFI + UTMS is going to drain your battery pretty quickly, that's why i use bluetooth all the time, which makes the device last much longer. But i guess the WIFI option would be more compatible with all kinds of OSes...
Yes, but when I am tethering i generally have access to a plug outlet so i have no problem plugging my phone in while i'm using it as a wifi hot spot. I was using my e71 via bluetooth on both OS X and XP and my speeds are doubled with using wifi. bluetooth can only transfer so fast.
Well i use it a lot on train rides where you can consider yourself lucky if you got an outlet for your laptop let alone one for your mobile phone... So bluetooth is the way to go...
You could use a USB charge cable to keep your phone powered off of the laptop battery, while using WMWiFiRouter or any other similar program for your connection.
Although I guess if your trying to have all this done wirelessly, that kind of defeats the purpose.
That would be a good reason! but, TP2 supports usb charging, so that shouldn't be a problem. Then, you can plug your laptop in at work or wherever you're going!
Just read what Tecknik said, so it's about the same!
TP2 tether to macbook pro
Hello, I'm also trying to get my tp tethered to macbook. There is an option under BT in Mac to specify username and a phone number to use BT to connect to a modem, do i need to specify any of this information? OR do I just need to select to "share internet with other BT device" on the mac?

I used to be able to tether fine about a week ago but now i'm getting the following msg:
"failed to establish internet sharing connection to remote device as it supports only network access point (nap) mode"
any thoughts? there is a bluetooth pan connection in network settings on my macbook. I've deleted it and recreated with no luck.
and "share my internet connection..." is checked in my device's advanced options from the bluetooth settings on my macbook.

That's the message i get all the time after rebooting. You could try the steps I described above, this usually makes it work for me. Until next reboot, though.

I Tether on all my MacBook/Netbook using WMWiFiRouter all the time.
Just enable Wifi on your Mac and it autodetects some PAN settings -even on the airport card. Give this app a try.
This has known to work on Tiger and Leopard. Never tried it on SnowLeopard though.
Well sounds easy enough. However isn't Wifi eating up your battery like a starving ogre?
Killing BT with Terminal worked great. I have been struggling with this problem for a couple of days now. Nice work. Very much appreciated. I am going to link to this solution from my post. I did not yet verify the failure to function after reboot but I will test that. I'd love to have a script that does this automatically.

WMWiFiRouter eats up way too much battery, faster then the device can charge via USB (and my USB charing isn't working but thats another story)

Hello, I have been searching around for a day and a half now to no avail. I figure I will ask here as a last attempt before I go and buy another USB wifi adapter.
I am trying to use my HTC Dash with WM6.5 to tether an available wifi connection over to my Windows 7 PC. Basically trying to use the phone as a wifi adapter. The phone has no cell data service, but can connect to the home wifi network that is here. My Windows 7 PC has no Wifi adapter (I left it behind >.<).
Here is where I am at. The HTC Dash is connected to the Wifi network, and when I try to select a Network in the ICS program, it says there is none available. I have been able to get USB selected in ICS, and the phone connected to the computer. In Windows I see a Windows Mobile Remote Adapter in the Network Connections area when I sync the device in Windows Mobile Center. But no matter what I try, ICS sharing on the phone will not let me select the Wifi connection it has.
Through my searching I have found a lot of information on tethering 2G and 3G internet through USB, and using the phone as a Wifi Hotspot. But those where no help in this.
My friend on a G1 with Andriod can tether Wifi connections to a pc, and I am wondering if Windows Mobile can do the same thing. I can flash my ROM from to 6.0 or 6.1 WM if needed.
Thanks in advance to any advice given, hopefully someone can help me out
UPDATE: Still have no luck. I found a program called ICS Control v.21, but it only works on touchscreen WM phones, not WM standard. Which means a bunch of crashing.
This program would do exactally what I need it to do... just does not support my phone. Well the search continues... looking like I may just have to go buy an USB Wifi adapter soon.
tethering w/wifi
It does work. I'm currently answering this on my 2nd desktop Vista with my S620 via my home wifi network. Waiting for a 25' ethernet connector to hardware to wifi/modem Not quite sure how it is with a wifi adapter but 2 things I do know from experience. You shouldn't need an adapter.
1st: you can't be in Sync Center while trying to tether, at least in my case on a Vista desktop. It won't let you tether while the sync is running (or your already synced).
2nd: (this worked for me) open internet sharing on your Dash/S620, pc connection-usb and be ready to hit connect the 1st couple of seconds after pluging your usb connector into your phone, and give it 10-20 seconds to actually connect. If you wait to long to hit connect, the phone will start syncing with the computer. Won't let you tether.
RE-read post, missed thar "WinMo" remote part. My bad. Don't own Win 7. Don't know what that is.
Question: Is there an active wifi where you are ? From your post it sounds like "yes"
You do not need a wifi adapter. You do need a USB cord.
I tethered with edge for a bit, but then got to thinking. Try Wifi. It worked, but be quick.
Neither one is super fast but Wifi is definitely faster than Edge. Better than not being on the net at all. Occasionally it'll cut out, just unplug usb, get to connect screen, plug in and hit connect. Should be set.
As a side note: I also tried tethering with G1. Xferd pc driver to Vista from G1 but computer says it can't find the driver. Gave up after 2 hours.
G1 tethering works great on XP though.
Hope this helps. Good Luck. Really cool when it works.
Are you using a wifi tether or just usb?
If wifi, what program/version are you using and where did you get it? I got the ICS usb tether working, but my version of wmwifirouter.cab won't even install on the dash. cheers

I'll have to break out the Dash again and let you know. It's been sitting for weeks since I repaired LCD screen and flashed my TMO Wing. Can't seem to stop playing with it.
Give me a little time and I'll get back to you.
You do have a wifi modem, correct ? I was using usb.
Right, just to be clear, my goal is to set up my Dash to receive it's edge data and transmit that out as a wifi signal that my laptop will pick up and connect to the internet. No USB connection. I'm getting an ipad eventually and this is all to avoid that stupid 3g garbage they're hawking.
I tried a program called wmwifirouter.cab but was unsuccessful. An ad-hoc wifi network was created by my phone and my laptop was connected to it but couldn't connect to the internet. And my phone kept crashing.
Any ideas? Thanks

Well, in your case, I won't be any help. What I did was run a 2nd computer off of my Dash with a Wifi Modem.
XP in another room with a wifi modem attached on Comcast, Dash on wifi and usb to Vista computer, since I didn't have a 25ft ethernet cable at the time.
Was running Vista-Dash-wifi modem-XP to comcast so I could run 2nd computer without being hard wired.
I'm familiar with wifirouter cab. It let's you use your phone like a hotspot, correct ?
In all my searches for various things for the phones, I thought I saw a different application that did the same thing. Possibly might even have it. I'll check and upload for ya if I find it. Have hundreds of cabs/zips to search. Let you know.
Possibly google it and you might find it yourself. There's a program called: WalkingHotSpot online for $24.99 if you don't mind spending. Dash isn't listed as a supported windows device but looking at the other phones listed my guess would be it should work. Try their DEMO version, see if it works.
Good Luck.......
2AM and I was just wondering......When you received your phone, you also got a usb cable with it, right ?
Why don't you just usb Dash to laptop and use "internet sharing" ????
My plan is to set this up for an iPad, which doesn't allow internet access over a USB cable, so USB tethering is out, has to be wifi.

Do you have a home computer ? If so, get yourself a Wifi Modem and set up a home network. $40-60. Although Comcast sold me mine for $20 and I get to keep it. I can get all 5 phones on the internet at the same time, not that I need to. It'll also be so much faster then running thru Edge. Besides the fact video's don't play for crap tethered running through Edge. Just a suggestion.
My opinion stands concerning Apple. Get ready to cough up more fees for internet (ATT). They're doing away with unlimited data. Did you see their prices ?
You'll never catch me with ATT.
I just put WMWifiRouter on my TMO Wing 6.5. let you know how it worked. Setup went fine, so far.
did you try downloading the actual .cab from WMWIFIROUTER.COM it's only a trial for 21 days, the "Free" versions don't work on the dash i've tried many of them.
once you install and get it set up be sure to write down the Access ID and Password it gives you so you can connect to the WiFi signal beaming from your phone from your PC. It works for me to tether a WiFi connection from my Dash to PC though I prefer the more stable Internet Sharing USB to PC and I have an Unlimited Data Plan.
WMWIFIROUTER also lets you tether a connection from your phone via bbluetooth.
I use WMWiFiRouter and its a life saver. It lets you pretty much tether any connection to any other.
Just yesterday I was at a meeting in a resturant with some clients and used it to hook my netbook to the internet and used bluetooth as the connection to the phone. Yes, Internet Sharing can do that, but it has alot more it can do too.
You can use Bluetooth, USB (it shows up as a USB modem), or even set it up as a WiFi Router.
Very cool program and it works perfectly on the Dash. I love it.
I never tried the trial version. A friend of mine showed it to me, so I just bought it. It's under $20. Well worth it if you run into that situation often.
Being a hardcore winmo user/modder for past 4 years, I'm finally switching to an android based phone, Evo. The hardware, especially the WiMAX which is served where I live, got me to finally switch over to Android (pre-ordered Evo last week from shack ), and now got a few software questions.
When connecting Evo to some random win/mac computer through USB,
Will the external MicroSDHC card (and hopefully internal flash as well) act as a USB drive? Loading mp3's without taking out the card is a must, and since I do a lot of PC troubleshooting, also love using my phone as a drive where I store all my fav rescue tools and other portable apps/docs.
Is it possible to share either 3g or 4g data, like winmo's internet connection sharing feature, by having phone be detected as a generic network adapter? I prefer tethering data through USB because I notice faster and much more stable download/upload speeds compared to WiFi and many desktops which I work on don't come with WiFi card so USB is pretty much the only option. And also, the phone is being charged at the same time
Hopefully it'll be "yes" to both questions, but since I haven't dealt with Android before, besides running a crippled v2.0 on my HTC Touch Pro where USB didn't work anyways, I wanted to consult with the "experienced".

When you plug the Evo into your computer, it pops up with 4 options: Charge only, HTC Sync, Disk drive, and Internet sharing.
I have never tried the HTC Sync and Internet sharing before, but now I'm trying Internet sharing to see what it does.
Wow, it really very easily shares internet connection with my Linux desktop. Very cool of HTC to include wired tethering natively...
Edit: I should mention that the Evo was in fact sharing it's 3G connection.
I'm new to the Android thing, but found this while researching tethering options for Android. I assume these would still work on the Evo (minus the 'needs root' option, for the time being):

That answers both of his questions. So when you plug in Evo, you can use it as disk drive, and as Internet sharing (USB tethering), very cool!

On ubuntu, it detected the phone immediately as usb0 and connected to it in 5 seconds.
On windows 7, it does the Installing device Drivers thing, then fails. Comes up with this status http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30367/Evo Tether.png
So I guess it works out of the box on Ubuntu but not Windows 7. Though it shouldn't be hard to install whatever you need. I'll update when I figure it out.
Edit: To get it working on Windows 7, I just installed the "HTC Sync\HTCSync2.0.31.exe" file on the sdcard then switched the "USB Connection Type" on the phone to Internet Sharing. Windows 7 then connected to the device as if you plugged in an ethernet cord.

Dont have 4G in California yet. But I'd assume you will share whatever mobile connection your phone is currently on, 3G/4G.
before i get too excited, has anyone tried the 64 bit drivers or just the 32? mobile internet+phone charging=better but i am on win7 64
ubuntu 10.4 lucid 64bit
confirmed that HTC EVO "internet sharing" working fine on Ubuntu 10.4 64bit - out of the box, no configuration needed. just plug in and it automatically connects

My post above was tested on Windows 7, 64 bit.
Once it's rooted, it'll work fine. I'm actually tethered to my G1 right now. Checking a box on the phone and plugging in the USB cable is exactly the same as plugging in an ethernet cord. It's really nice.
Do you need to pay the $29 charge to do this?

No, USB tethering is free AND unlimited.
i use ics
i use internet connection sharing, ics to import the wired usb tether web connection and send it out my lan port to a wifi router running ddwrt...
the router can broadcast the wifi.
i did it pre root using the 10 buck easy tether app.
i rooted 2.2 last night and got wifi tether working this mornign
so i am currently seeing how to usb tether post root w/o easy tether.
so both are possible most likely post, but definatly pre root.
Hello! after posting about tethering to my PS3 and getting no replies I kept messing around and figured out a great and reliable way. I'll be explaining how to do so for anyone who's curious.
Things you'll Need:
-Android Phone
-Computer or Laptop (this guide is only for PC because i don't know Macs)
-1 ethernet cord
-A Router
-PDAnet, or any USB Tethering app. PDAnet is what i used for this
Setting up Process.
-First, enable USB Debugging on your phone.

Nice little guide m8. How is the gaming experience using 3g? I have never attempted to try this and would expect it would be frustrating to play online on a 3g connection.
Actually I played fine on 1mbps back (had to block everyone off though so it won't lag) when I had that type of Internet, but I use 20mbps now gaming has never been the same.
Since its about ps3 add me psn: N33DL3S9325
works fine for me. ive played league of legends and skyped at the same time with no issues.
and battlefield 3 with no issues so far
and will do man, i'm jehc92
I routinely get at least 20MB/sec down and 10MB/sec on Verizon 4G with my GNex. In fact, it's even better than the AT&T high-speed internet I spend a small fortune on every month.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
why not get down for some Verizon internet? Let them rape you all da way! Why share some of that love with AT&T? I also enjoy blazing fast 4G... But alas it is capped at around 4 Gigs... what a rip off..
just to add if anyone wants to try this, it may take a few minutes to start working for some reason. i was telling my friend how to do this, (cause hes getting raped by at&t internet and has unlimited data) and his 3ds/ps3 wouldn't connect for about 10minutes then it started working.
Jehc For those having issues trying to update their xbox360 via tether . I was getting errors while trying to update due to the low MTU the work around is to download the updates to a pc then transfer via usb . Follow the instruction in the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933498 .
I have windows 8 and in my sharing tab I don't have am option for Local Area Connection
