Use the Vox as WiFi adapter?

Just wondering, I know you can use WM5 phones as modems using GPRS and Edge, but what would be really cool is if you could use it as a WiFi adapter so that you could for example connect your laptop to WiFi through the phone. Is this somehow possible with WM6?
Cheers!

Well, you can choose the "Ad hoc" connection type in Wi-Fi connections.

But when I connect the phone to my PC through the USB cable, the WiFi switches off.. It would be wonderfull if I could use the phone as a WiFi adapter for the Computer, but so far.. no luck!?
Cheers!

Try to disable USB connection for internet, somewher in the phone settings (maybe in intert explorer or active sync) ....

Well, it didnt work. Firstly, I cant select "Ad-Hoc" on any of the WLAN networks im using.. Oh well, I guess it just isnt possible?

Using the ppc as a WIFI adapter (not router)?

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..

how can i turn my desire z into a router using existing pc internet connection

Hi all,
Hope you can help.
I know there are plenty of applications that will allow me to use androids 3g connection and turn it into a wifi hotspot, however, what I need to do is use a PC's internet connection and use my android desire z as a router to allow other PC's to connect to the same network. The PC does not have wifi or a router and is connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable.
Many thanks,
Martin

Wired internet via USB tether?

Hello, I'm at work and here is only wired internet, so i wanted to ask, is there any chance, that i can connect usb to pc that has internet and stole some network to my tablet?

I don't know any way to do that, but I use Connectify software on my netbook PC at work which then lets you connect wireless devices to it. The PC just needs to have a wireless and wired connection, it then becomes a hotspot for other devices. Cheers.

CradlePoint with Sensation?

I tried to follow this tutorial to use a CradlePoint CTR350 router with the Sensation
http://www.cradlepoint.com/about/blog/an-android-powered-cradlepoint-router
I do not see the "Mobile Broadband Connect" USB connection mode. I did see a USB Tether option, which asked me Mac of PC and I figured the router would be more like a PC and I chose PC. The phone would not share its internet connection with the router.
Has anyone been able to use a Sensation with a CradlePoint router, and if so, which router and what settings did you do on the phone?
Thanks

Any comments?
Thanks in advance.

I really would like to be able to connect the Sensation to a Cradlepoint router so it can be a backup Internet source if my wireline Internet service is down. Any ideas on getting Sensation to work with CradlePoint?

I had a quick look at the web site you gave. If I understand it, it's a USB -> WIFI router. Such that the Cradlepoint WIFI routes via USB and 3G (phone) to the Internet.
Assuming that's the case I can't see anything in particular why it shouldn't work.
Can you use USB tethering to connect a single PC to the Internet via USB/3G ? (If this works and my assumptions are correct the phone is working fine).
Do you need to configure the Cradlepoint device in any way ?
In the absence of this, the phone can act as a WiFI hotspot, does this not give you enough connectivity to the Internet?

I actually have Mac and I often use the wifi tethering. I only tried USB tethering with the Cradlepoint. The first time the phone asked me Mac or PC and I chose PC, thinking Cradlepoint would be similar to PC. I don't know how to get it to ask PC or Mac for USB tethering again. I would like to be able to connect an Ethernet cable to Cradlepoint to get to the Internet. That would be for the scenario my home Internet is down, then I would want to connect my main router WAN to the Ethernet of the cradlepoint and get Internet through the cell phone.

Anyone have any success in using a cradlepoint?
