I have been using WiFiRouter successfully to connect my Windows laptop to the Kaiser. Works great. I recently got a MacBook Air and attempted to connect it as well. The Mac recognizes the WiFiRouter when it searches for wireless networks but it registers it as a device, not as a network. I don't know how to make it connect through the "device".
Any thoughts?

It works great on mine. I just connect to the device anyway - and it routes to internet regardless.
Any specific question on this one that I can help with?
-Daniel
Since I am a neophyte in the Mac World perhaps there is someting I need to do with the Mac itself. The WMWiFirouter works well with my windows laptop. The Mbair (airport) senses it sometimes and it lists it as a device. When I tell it to connect, it does not do it.
Could you please tell me what setup are you using with the Mbair that makes the difference? Is there any particular setting in the System Preferences that I need to set to make it work?
Thank for any help!
I was able to connect by uninstalling the old version of WMWiFiRouter and reinstalling the new one directly from the website. I went through right away.

Hello guys,
I was wondering if you could help an extreme newbie.
I just got my tilt a couple of days ago, and with the help of a friend i have installed Dutty's touchflow rom. My problem is the following:
I have a Sony Vaio laptop that connects to the internet wirelessly through my wireless router. My tilt also connects to the internet through the router. However if i connect the tilt to the vaio for an activesync or to charge, the wireless connection on the laptop crashes. It crashes even if the wifi on the tilt is turned off. It can only be restored if i disconnect the phone AND restart the computer.
Did anybody face a similar problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
It's an activesync issue.
When not connected to the PPC , Right click on AS icon in the PC.
Select Connections.
on the bottom you will see.
"Allow wireless connection......"
Mark the check box and your good to go

Hey buddy,
Thanks very much for responding. Tried it but unfortunately no joy. Its like my laptop loses the ability to connect to the router. I can see the connection but it just stays there, tries to get an ip, gets one and then crashes again...
Any other ideas?
what nadavi said, helps when you have problems connectin at your phone not your laptop.
perhaps your problem hs to do woth your network-configuration. AS gives a bridged network-interface trough to your mobile phone, connected via AS.
eventually your real-network-interace-driver or something else has problems with thi network-bridging ... did you tried to install AS 4.2 instead of 4.5 or otherwise?

I bet you have a Intel 2195 or 2200BG wireless adapter in the notebook? There is a problem with some of the drivers for the adapter and Activesync that makes you wireless network disconnect when you plug your phone in for sync. I had the same problem on my former laptop, it went a way with a driver downgrade!!! if I remember correct
Another way of solving it was installing Trend Micro PC-illin 2007 Internet security. It installs some sort of driver that made it work, it sound crazy I know but it worked with that - I and more people that I know got it working that way but I dont´t like Trend Micros software
Hey easycure,
Thanks for this response. I took your advice and went the opposite direction. I do have a 2200BG adapter, but rather than downgrade, i upgraded the driver.
Worked like a charm. Thanks!!
@edi - thanks for your reccomendation too. In the end i did not need to go that way, but thanks all the same.

Yeah it might have been a driver update I did, it was two years ago I had that laptop so I cant remember exactly But I am happy that it fixed it for you - I do remember how frustrating it was
I am having the very same issue. When I connect my Kaiser via activesync the wireless status information immediately appears on my laptop. The internet connection then stops working or only occasionally works. Took me an age to find a related thread! I'm about to update the drivers for the 2200BG adapter so I hope it works!
Cheers
I connected Kaiser (AT&T carrier) to the Macbook Air using the usb port. There was no recognition or reaction to the phone. I wanted to use it to connect to the Internet. Then I established a Bluetooth connection to use it as a modem. The phone was recognized, but every time I ried to connect I was told that a connection is "crossed". Then I tried WMWiFiRouter. Mbair recognized it as a "device" but when I tried to connect to the Internet with it, it would not work.
Is there a way to use Kaiser as a modem for the Mac? What are the Mac settings recommended? Are there any specific Kaiser settings that need to be in place?
Thanks for any help and advice.

I was able to connect perfectly through WiFiRouter by uninstalling the old version of WMWiFiRouter and reinstalling the new one directly from the website. It connected to internet right away.
Hi there,
I got a car-pc since a while and have been using my sony ericsson with it... calls get transferred via bluetooth to the computer, as like phonebook in integrated into the car-pc software... all transmitted via bluetooth...
Now with the diamond, how do i set it up as a phone? winXP doesnt recognize other services than the moden funxtion
you should enable Remote SIM access on you Diamond: Start -settings - connections bluetooth SIM acces and also activate the service for your BT connection (do this in the first tab of the BT settings dialogue after connectig)
already done :-( But the Computer doesn't list other functions than modem for the HTC
Do i need any drivers for XP? Usually not...
Using Diamond & CarPC Via Internet sharing over BT
I have a CarPC in my car, it has a 7" touch screen & it is running WinXP and have built in Bluetooth. So for surfing in the internet , MSN, Skype in my car over the carpc i am using my HTC Diamond with the Internet Sharing icon and connecting it via Bluetooth to the carPC so i get FAST Internet over Bluetooth between my carpc and my HTC Diamond.
It works very good - very stable.
Matter of fact it is "capturing" my 3G Internet and pass it over Bluetooth to the carpc.
Solution works very well.
k, but i am not interested in using it as internet connection, i want to phone via the computers hardware, so the car-pc should act as an headset... besides that, he shoult be able to access the adress book and to begin calls... that for, i neeed 2 comports emulated, but how to create them?
could it be because the device is seen as a PDA, and not as a mobile phone?
I know somewhere here on XDA there is a reg hack for earlier devices to make them appear as a mobile phone to car kits. maybe the same thing will help here. I don't know where it is, can only suggest searching, unless anyone else can point you in the right direction....
I used to have PhoneConnector on my CarPC, with PhocoAdapter on the phone. It worked, but now this software is not supported anymore and unfortunately it does not work with WM6.
Freefone is not compatible either.
My good Blackbaron, I believe we users of CarPCs and Windows Mobile are scr...d!
By the way, sharing the 3G connection workds a treat, by USB, BT, Wifi... I just wish Vodafone would allow other ports than port 80
I still didnt realize what 3G is... ^^ I never owned a ppc before...
Well, on the CarPC the internet speed is as great as a DSL line, here is France I measured it at more than 3.5 MB/s (KS20 is limited to 4 MB/s with HSDPA, who knows why). Coming from the crappy Edge Motorola phone I had before, the browsing is truly amazingly fast!

1) Launch the Internet Sharing application on your phone (all WM6 phones have it)
2) Select your 3G connection, and BT or USB, tap "Connect"
3) USB: have ActiveSync installed on the PC, connect the USB cable, it's done.
4) BT: you have to set up a BT PAN hosted from your phone, add your PC to it, it's done.
5) If your provider uses a proxy, setup Firefox to use it (Tools/Options/Advanced/Network)
6) If your provider has a filter on User Agent, then you need the plug-in "User Agent Switcher", to put the same User Agent string as on your phone.
There you go!

Looks interesting, I'll give it a try when I have some time. Do they have a trial version?
Yes they have, i leeched it... But i don't find the difference between now and before installing it...
I'm trying to set my laptop up to use the td2 to get a connection to the internet. can this be done either via bluetooth wiFi or USB. I have tried to add a bluetooth network connection but the laptop keeps giving an error saying could not connect to the remote device.
When I plug mine into my laptop via USB, I get an option on the device to 'internet share'. Does this not happen for you? I'm not sure whether Windows Mobile Device Center is also needed, but it may be!
I did this today using a Macbook. The USB did not work on the Mac but Bluetooth did. I had to connect to the phone from the computer using ordinary bluetooth first (without network). Then I had to choose Internet Connection on the phone using Bluetooth PAN - which I assume is Bluetooth network. Also had to select Bluetooth PAN on Macbook - was a bit fiddly but it worked. Anyway it does work with USB on the PC see post 16 of the thread here.
cheers both, i will check out the other thread but when I connect the phone via USB to this (work) laptop, I get nothing. My home one uses Vista and Mobile Device Centre, but my work one uses XP.
typically, after a reboot the phone gives of the option to shart internet sharing but the laptop wants to install a rndis connection, but the only way to do this is connect to internet. ironic.
Ok, finally have a proper Interenet connection and downloaded Activesync 4.5 from MS. This looks like it will resolve the situation.
I have LAN cable connection on my laptop. It has wifi and bluetooth module. Is there any way to get an internet connection on my Nexus by using them? My laptop runs Vista.
Thx
if i understand correctly, you want to share the internet on your laptop with your nexus.
You need to configure your wifi on the laptop as accesspoint and connect the nexus with it.
Google internet sharing wifi
you can just turn on network sharing on your laptop... google is your friend here if you need specifics.
Is there any way to do this without a Wireless network card? Since I'm on the other side of the house and get intermittent signal with my N1's wifi. Can it be done using the USB cable? aka reverse tethering?
I don't think android supports this "reverse tethering". Actually I think only WinMo phones support it via Activsync, which is automatic as soon as you plug in your USB.

Is there a way set up a non-ad hoc network on the laptop because the N1 is not compatible with ad hoc networks?
Although you can set up a software AP on your laptop, consider buying a WiFi access point. That way your laptop won't have to be plugged in either And its way easier to setup.
If you are using Windows 7 on your laptop, you can use Connectify (url is connectify.me) to convert your laptop into a wifi hotspot, which you can then connect your N1 to (via wifi)

What about for windows XP? is there an application similar to conectify.
Also just to let you guys know stock android does not let you connect to ad-hoc network sharing like some mentioned earlier. The devices does not see ad-hoc networks.
There is a issue request here about it.

...I'm more comfortable with xp so I'm doomed not to be able to set up an AP with my laptop...
I've been all over this connection and sharing internet connetion thing these days, and today it seems so close to work:
I paired my N7 and laptop on bluetooth, laptop with IVT driver, and N7 clearly shows in bluetooth - paired devices - profiles, under internet access, "connected to device for internet access".
yet all apps on N7 still say no connection.
god somebody pls help me!! It just doesn't make any sense!
btw, I did tick the option of "internet access sharing" and selected the bluetooth network in the settings of the internet accessing connection on my laptop.
I just don't understand whatever went wrong...

Yes, but it's not free. There is a free trial though if you want to make sure it works with your setup.
