Turn any windows mobile into WIFI router

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:

Wifi configuration...???

Hello Guyz
I was trying to connect to my home-wifi but I can't in three times.
1- With Belkin N-router and DSL
2- With Belkin N-router and Cable modern
3- Today I bought the new Linksys G Router with my Cable Internet and I can't do it.
I don't know what happens because I get connection on public libraries and in my sister house that has unsecured Belkin G router.
Could be a the IP address of my Internet.
Thanks
ADavid

Try restarting the phone. If not what version of the windows smartphone are you using.

on the routers, are you using any sort of security (wep, wpa etc)? i have 3 routers at my house (2 linksys A/B/G/N and a Belkin A/B/G) all of which work fine. the simple thing to do is log into the router and look at the log. it will tell you why it wont let you connect.

do you have to pay for usage when you use your wifi through your home ?
I have no internet plan btw.
I called T-Mobile and they said yes, I would need the 19.99 plan to access wifi. However, i tried connecting to my wifi and it went through no problem. Am i going to be charged? The CSR also said our Internet Explorer wouldn't even allow me to go onto the web? This is after I clearly did ?
I'm using 6.1 by Kavana.

you do not need to pay tmobile for your home wifi. you pay your ISP that provides your home internet service. you will not be charged for it (by tmobile)

That is correct, you only need to pay $20.00 to get the internet wherever you are...

Answer to all of u guyz
First of all - " I have Kavana 6.1" but previews I had WM6 and I can't connected with both. And the key is that I've been connected to Public Libraries before, I think could be ROUTER setting as gixxum said. If you can help me with that I really appreciate. My new Router is " Linksys WRT110" and the security option is WAP-SPK but I tried Unsecured and doesn't work either.
Thanks Guyz, I hope one you you can help me.

Evo teathering to xbox

My house flooded so I had to move my xbox and its not with the router any more, is there any way I can target it to my xbox? I'm running virus rom anthrax series and stock usb and wifi tether are unlocked. Any ideas?
Swyped from my supersonic

with a computer you can, plug xbox into the computer and get the computer connected to the internet through the phone then in network connection bridge the two connections, otherwise without a wifi adapter on your xbox you can't

If you tether through your EVO via WiFi Hotspot, you can. Note that your ping time will be horrendous, you will never be host, and people will hate you for having such a laggy connection and slowing down the entire game.

with your xbox connected to pc and pc connected to internet open your network connections, highlight both and right click on the wifi one and chose bridge connections
or you can just right click on the wifi one and in properties I think there is share internet option

OP xbox is an original model with no built in wifi and has wifi in house already

Is it possible to use wireless tether for xbox? (I have the xbox slim)
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

For all to read:
Any device that has a wireless adapter that can pick up WIFI signal can use your phones Tethering abilities. So if you have the wireless adapter for your Xbox 360, then yes, you can tether your phones internet and use that as your connection. Just go about it just like you would if you were searching for a routers connection. Note that the ping time will be horrendous. Normal ping times for a 1MB/S download speed is about 30-60ms on a DSL or cable internet connection. Through your phones 3g you are looking at close to a 150ms ping or probably more depending on the signal strength of your phone. I personally have never tried to use my phones internet with Xbox live but going from a generalization in the gaming world, you want to have the lowest ping time possible.(i.e. if your in a game such as Call of Duty and your ping time is terrible and you encounter an enemy, he can actually walk around the corner of a building and see you before you get the chance to shoot him and shoot you first)
But if you want to try it out and see how it is:
Tether your internet to your laptop.
Run a Cat-5 cable from your laptop to your xbox.
Go into your network manager in your computer and share the internet connection.

Is this possible ?? Connect our phone to a router?

My dad has a motor home and canceled his Comcast account for where he keeps it (some motor home park)
Because his internet speeds with his phone is amazing to say the least.
He's fine with just tethering but I was wondering if its possible to some how connect his phone to the router ??
The router is more powerful at sending the wifi, plus he has some things hardwired (roku,computer)
It seems like there should be a way, but I have no clue..
THANKS!

just enable WiFi tethering, you don't need a router for that

Yeah use either wifi tether or barnacle (same thing better options and free) then your phone becomes a wireless router which uses your cellular data connection for internet so subject to plan limits and throttling.
Connect multiple devices like you would your usual router. Any device that can use wifi should pretty much work this way just follow app directions too it's easy just usually have to ok each device on phone before it can access the internet
Note: eats battery for breakfast so keep charger and some power source handy if needed for long sessions
Keep number of clients as low as you can more clients = less time on battery and phones not meant to handle a ton of routing
oh and TMobile is known to firewall certain Ports on their end

Thanks.. Yea I know about tethering as we both do it all the time..
As I said, in his motor home his router is already set up to many things (Direct TV, Roku,Computer, laptop)
Yes we can just do it through wifi tether, but I thought you would be able to some how hook it right into a router that is WiFi/Ethernet and just leave it at that..
Believe it or not at 45 feet long, with some stuff in the back and some in the front, the signal sometimes isn't as strong

This is advice only I am not responsible for anything you choose to do with any of your own personal equipment!
It ain't easy but it is possible but you would need to create a wifi bridge but unless your router can use dd-wrt or other custom firmware won't work.
Basically you would start wifi tether then use router via DD-wrt to connect as client to phones wifi said and then it would share that with devices connected to the router out again though phone would still bottle neck speed if too many clients go too crazy on data because in the end all data must flow through phone to the internet.
I did it with a cheap linksys wrt54g v8 but I bridge my ISP router out to another room. Also all wired Ports on router would also go back to phone and internet

Something else you can do is wired tether to a computer and set the other computer's gateway to that computer's ip. If this sounds like an option you are curious reply and I'll give full instructions.

Well you could just bridge the phone connection in network connects to I've that connects to router set router gateway to that computers IP (set up ics in windows walks through comp piece after phone tethered and all drivers set). If you use crossover ethernet cable (trees different than straight through normal cable I know I do camping telecom work all day either buy one from just bout anywhere just be sure it says crossover) or make one) from computer with USB or wifi tethered phone to routers WAN port and set router IP manually to something like
Computer:
IP: 192.168.1.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: the IP of the bridge created by ics
Router
IP:192.168.1.2
Same subnet
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
That is very basic and off the cuff while on smoke break Google ics and basic use of bridges connections for detailed info
You would have to have that computer run full time without going to sleep for internet access via phone even from rest of network. Otherwise all devices would see either and work between themselves butno internet until gateway was on and awake.

Yes, set phone with barnacle then connect DD-wrt using client bridge under wireless after you either clicked SSID using their pop up or entered it manually drop down box at bottom is client bridge. Don't forget to click security and set the settings accordingly.
Also don't forget to click to allow DD-WRT router on your phone screen when you connect it just like any computer before it will see the internet.

i realize this is an old thread that i am hoping to revive...
i have an android phone that is rooted.
also have a linksys wrt54gl router
i am trying to do one of several things and i need some help...
i am wanting to use my wifi hotspot on the phone fed through the router to get internet...
i can already tether in windows 10 straight to the phone... my issue is linux mint 18 isnt seeing any wireless connections and it doesnt pick up a usb tether as wired. i dont have dsl or anything like that. only mobile data provides internet..
i am super confused.
router has dd-wrt installed i just am confused on how to get it to work....
each page i read is something different and i havent found the setting that works, and im not terribly knowledgeable about this either.
i installed the dd-wrt because of linux being that it is linux firmware for the router i figured it would communicate way better and not have to do work arounds etc...
my linksys ae1200 needs to much work and its still not seeing that one and i havint figured out ndiswrapper or ndsgtk (might have that incorrect- essentially the gui for ndiswrapper)
im trying to figure it on windows 10 right now and havent tried for linux.. figured its just way better to ask... i could care less about configuring for windows 10.. system is dual boot win10 and linux mint 18.
i want it to work so i can get linux where it can do updates and download from internet the necessary package through synaptic, etc...
trying to do other things with linux for android...
AGAIN there is not wired connection to work from so in general im just having a hard time.
any and all help is appreciated and if im in the wrong thread, please direct me to the correct one.
thank you

Wi-fi tethering?

Hello, Having issues setting up wi-fi tethering on my phone.
Used several different methods (fox-fi, wifi tether, the widgets that simply turn on wifi-tethering) and everyone gives me the exact same problem.
Turn on wi-fi tethering, it turns on without issue (on fox-fi it says "Started with errors"). Shows up as a network to connect to on my PC, connect to it without problem. But I don't get internet access. I can transfer files between the device, but don't get any data connection.
Anyone have a similar experience? Suggestions?
Using PDAnet I can connect my phone to my computer with the USB cable, turn on USB tethering, and that works fine. Would much rather have wi-fi tethering though.
I have the Verizon CDMA/LTE version, rooted running stock 4.04.

With any of the wi-fi tethering, sometimes dhcp acts up and doesn't get the correct ips. What kind of ip addresses are you getting on the computer you are wi-fi tethering?

No. I've tried Foxfi and android wi-fi tether and both have the same result.
Checked it on a friends computer and same thing so more than likely the problem is on the phone end.
Everything I see online says you just download foxfi, press activate hotspot, connect to it, and that's it.
Is there some blatantly obvious step maybe I'm missing?

Not sure why my friends computer didn't work, maybe he had done the same? Anyway, works, posting this from my computer connected to my phones wifi.
