Hi
I was wondering if anybody knows of any method or program through which i can use my HTC Wizard or Tornado as a WIFI adapter for my laptop.
basically, in order to use the WIFI on my handset as a wifi network connection for my computer.
is this possible?
thanx
You cannot share wifi connection, just gprs (edge/umts).
Please follow my articles, I'ver thoroughly answered your question at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=453&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

Hi All, i'm not sure if this has been mentioned on this forum or if it is even possible, but is it possible to use the wizard's wifi capability's on the pc as a wifi network adapter? I would love it if I could connect my wizard, via usb, to my pc, and use it as a wifi adapter to connect to my router? Thanks!
Try Modem Link
And please don't cross-post.
Is there a way to use the ppc as an wifi adapter for a PC?
Basically I want to share internet through USB connection, which is easy when using cellular network, but not if I want the PPC to have internet access via WIFI.
I have a regular wireless router, but my PC doesn't have a wireless wifi adapter, so I want to use the PPC as the adapter. Is it possible?
Thanks a lot..

ICS Control (and probably the latets version(s) of WMWifiRouter) are supposed to support Wi-Fi routing to USB - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407563

I've read your bible before posting, but couldn't find nothing regrading the question....
Anyway, thanks a lot, ICS control did the job..
Hello Everyone,
When we connect WM phones over Active Sync, we are able to run internet on WM Phone through desktop's connection.
So, I have this old XDA Stealth with me, and I thought of using it as a Wireless Router for sharing Desktop's Internet Connection with Laptops and other WiFi Devices.
Upon using WMWiFiRouter, I'm getting error saying there is no connection defined. That's right because I don't have any data plan and no modem has been defined.
So how can I share my desktop's internet connection with other devices using WM Phone as a Wireless Router (wherein the only way for WM Phone to access internet is through USB Cable and Active Sync).
I would appreciate any help.
Thnx
Sonny
In other words I wanna share Desktop Pass Through Connection over WiFi.
Please help, ain't there any way of doing this?
In other words, you want to share your internet connection that came from WM Wifi, to desktop computer,.
or
You want to sharre your internet connection that came fro your desktop wifi, to your WM device?
Do you want to achieve something like:
Internet->Computer->wired link->WM device->Wi-Fi->other devices
which if it's not possible in WMWifiRouter seems an oversight, and one which the development team may want to know!
Thats right! Its this way.
Cable Model >> Desktop >> Active Sync >> WM Device >> WM Device's WiFi >> Other Devices.
Ain't this possible, if I try forwarding Active Sync's IP?
Here is what I tried,
I configured WM Phone's WiFi's IP add to 192.168.0.1.
Next I got the connection detected on my laptop and pinged the IP and got the reply, but was unable to access internet. Guess ICS was not enabled.
Now how can I forward the IP for Activesync to be used as a gateway to access internet on the laptop through the WMPhone.
i have the same problem as the thread starter here....want to use my old pda2k as a wifi router for my e71...pass through works on pda2k but wmwifirouter doesnt work!
worked follow exact instruction on this page!

Hey Thnx!
I got it working!. But the range and speed sucks!
Is there any way of increasing the range of WM5 device's WiFi interface?
I'm planning to plug a wire to the WiFi antenna and connect it to an aluminium sheet which would be like a parabola covering one side of the phone, hope this would work well.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Hi there,
I've been looking for a solution of the following problem and I was wondering if anyone could help me:
You all know that ppc (windows mobile) connected via ActiveSync to a computer has direct access to the internet connected to that computer (some kind of pass-through connection). I would like my ppc to act as a Wifi hotspot sharing that ActiveSync Internet connection.
Most Wifi sharing software available assumes sharing GPRS/3G etc. connection established via cellular network. I would like to share internet connection established via USB/ActiveSync pass-through.
I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
Best regards.
Hi,
Did you manage to find a solution? I have the same requirement.
Thanks,
Paolo
Today I read an article about "How To Use Laptop’s Internet on Android Phone via Wifi". Hotspot app is needed to do this. My question is: does it need to root the phone? I have a desktop (Win7), not laptop. If I use portable WiFi device/ adapter, will it work to do this?
If the tutorial is available here, please share me.....
Thank you in advance!
See, if you are using desktop.. You need wifi adapter..
But, I recommend you to get Wifi Router instead of adapter as you'll need to keep PC on in order to use internet on mobile and there is price difference of only Rs 400-500 in adapter and router..
Setting up router is easy while setting up internet connection on adapter is little bit tricky. You get some instruction manual with the adapter to help you out..
