Phone as Wifi access point.

Is there a way to let my phone work as an access point?
I want to go online with my (Nintendo) DS on the road. The DS only connects to an access point and cannot make an Adhoc connection.
This is what i had in mind:
DS --(wifi)--> TyTn 2 --(HSDPA)--> Internet.

Try searching WMWifiRouter. I haven't tried it yet with my Tytn II, but it worked fine with my older Universal.

Exactly what i am looking for! I gonna give it a try. Thanks
I searched it but didnt find it.

here it is

Hmm it works with the TyTn 2, but the Nintendo DS is not supported.
Reported to not work:
Nintendo DS
Nintendo Wii
PlayStation 3
Unable to connect to a device providing internet using ad-hoc mode.
PlayStation Portable
Unable to connect to a device providing internet using ad-hoc mode.

Thats a very confusing last post. IMO.
Once you turn your phone into a wifi access point then I would think any wifi device could work with it. It's the 802.11? standard .. I read through the thread and didn't see anything saying specifically that the DS doesn't work. Does it have Wifi?

Sadly it won't work. Tried to get my PSP connected too with no luck.

Can you connect to an Adhoc device, that might be the problem.

Try changing some settings around
On WMWifiRouter go to Options >> cellular connections > & make sure Media Net is checked. Also make sure the following settings are checked on the Configuration:
Force ad-hoc only
Wifi power boost (optional) - May heat up your phone though
Unattended Mode
Use DHCP allocator
DMZ
Under Network setup check to see if security is enabled (try to disable it or enable whatever you feel is best & i reccommend you enable it). These settings worked for me.

I thought the same thing. Only it doesn't work this simple i think.. The DS finds my phone as router and see the signal strength. I can connect to it and fill in the WEP key. But when i try to connect to the internet the connection is gone and is shown as no signal.
You can read on the supported devices page that the DS, PSP Wii, etc are unfortunatly not supported.

And what is your power setting under settings/connection/ wireless network?
If it's set for best battery set it to best performance and try.

Im already connected over wifi. Signal stength is fine. I just cant use the internet over that connection.

I've seen sometimes that even if your settings are fine it doesn't connect to
internet with power in battery best. Don't ask me why.
What are your settings under connections? Internet or work and so on?

I'm pretty sure it's due to lack of assignment of DNS servers from the Acesspoint you are connecting to.
You should try to manually setup DNS servers for the connection. There are plenty of free ones, google it.

battery setting: tried best performance, no difference
Internet or work: tried both with same result
DNS: changed setting on wifi adapter: dns: 208.67.222.222 alt dns: 208.67.220.220, still no internet for me
What should i try now?

Still didnt get it to work, please suggest me something.

I also had trouble using WLAN. In the end it seems, that the wlan connection was not the preferred routing, and nearly all data still flowed over the mobile connection. When using WLAN I always have to terminate any existing mobile data connections (Tap on the icons on the top, then on the data connection-type icon, e.g. stylized G for GPRS and then disconnect in the pop-up).
The weird thing is, that not all data went over mobile. DNS-Requests where sent over WLAN, but connections to webservers where routed over the mobile connection. Seems to me like a bug, as you would normally expect that all traffic is routed over the wlan once a connection is up an running.

What is the standard of your W-LAN? Is it 802.11b? Mine does not work with 802.11b but is working fine with 802.11g.

Wo use just WEP. The router cant do more.
I dont use any mobilde data connection, way to expensive with my provider.

Wi-Fi connects but NO data transfer

Hi,
I have just got the Diamond and I have two main problem.
1) Although I have connected the Diamond to my Home wireless network, there is no data transfer. Opera can not open pages, Youtube can not start even I can not update weather?
2) When I connect the Diamond to the Laptop / PC, all PC's and Laptops connected to my home network (wireless) drop from the connection and never connect again?
Thank you for your kind help...

I have same problem with my Diamond.

1) go to: startmenu->settings->connections->Wi-Fi->networkcard/adapter->and make sure that it says "my networkcard/adapter connects to internet"Also at the same tab open IEEE 802.11b/g Compitable Wi-Fi Adapter and try to a static ip matching the one your pc uses. (not sure about it since i can't recreate the problem atm..)
2) Try the thing I suggested in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417664 (plz use search next time)

Thanks for your reply, but both of solutions do not work for me...
Any other suggestion?
Thanks for your help..

Try turning on wifi, then go in LAN WIRELESS and change in "improved performance"

All of this do not work for me too...

Go to Wireless LAN settings and there to power mode and set yo best battery.... that worked for me.

in "settings => connections => WiFi" is "Connected". In "Wireless Lan" there is Connected too... In log on my router there is MAC adress of Diamond as associated and authorized. All seems OK. But on Diamond do not work any internet connection (Weather, web, etc...). With Active Sync works fine. Laptop with the same settings works fine. But Diamond with WiFi... no way :-(

Any other suggestions?

Same problem after i made ROM update from 1.7... to 1.93. before works fine. no other software is istalled.

Been having an issue with connecting to my wireless network also for the last week. My phone is from orange in the UK. My wireless router is an Dlink 614+ on Virgin cable broadband.
The Diamond would connect intermittantly but then say 'not avaiable' after a period of time, or when trying to reconnect after diasbling/enabling wi-fi in the comms manager. Also, after restarting my router the device would connect for a while but not seem to 'hold' it's connection.
When the device was 'connected' I could not get opera/youtube to load a page, even though I could see the diamond in my router's log showing it connected with a leased ip address. What made it so annoying was that every other wireless mobile device/laptop I have owned has connected without any problem at all, leading me to beleive there was a problem with the phone. Again, this was rather frustrating as the phone was detecting avaliable networks but just not 'holding' the connection nor 'using' the connection in opera/explorer etc.
After searching on xda-developers and other forums for a possible known issue, I tried all the various suggestions including;
i/ increasing to best performance under power mode in Wireless LAN settings
ii/ Hard reset of router (even though other wireless devices were connected fine)
iii/ trying static rather than dynamic ip for my diamond in router settings
iv/ disabling any security/encryption on my router
v/ entering DNS settings in manually into my diamond
vi/ changing 'connect to' under wi-fi neteorks to 'Work' rather than 'the internet'
vii/ tried various roms
and other suggestions I had read about - all which didn't make a difference!
I was about to send the diamond back to Orange (here in the UK) but decided to give it one last go and change my router. I bought a Netgear WGT624 for 25 quid from PC today world and my diamond connected
straight away without an issue, and opera/youtube/messager all connected straight away to the internet. I have not lost connection once. So thats how I resolved it - obviously my device did not like 802.11b (on the original dlink router) even though all previous smartphones have connected fine and the diamond's wireless adapter is labelled b/g.
Hope that stops anyone wasting a week like I did, I would try it out on another router before making any decisions because the chip in the diamond seems a lot more picky to what it connects to than anything I've used in the past!
cheers

Linksys WAG54 is OK, Freebox is not perfect
It really seems to depend on the WiFi router.
I've had probems with my French Freebox (my ISP's ADSL+wifi router) using WPA2 AES. It would work fine, for half an hour maybe, then it would stop. It says it's connected but there is no data transfer. You can switch WLAN off and on, soft reset the phone... nothing will do. Then it will work again later on.
I downgraded encryption to TKIP and i experienced the same problem.
But then I've tried my old Linksys WAG54G router, using the exact same encryption protocol and key and it works perfectly (for hours)!
I've also tested free access (Paris public Wifi, Mc Donald's...) and they work fine.
As my ISP wifi box does not let me have a look at all the settings (beacon time, etc.) it is very difficult to tell what makes it not-so-compatible with my Diamond... But there must be something.

Connection problems 3G/Wifi

Hi guys!
I have a Touch Diamond 2. It's great and certainly an upgrade from my Touch Cruise!
I have a strange problem though. Whenever I try to connect through 3G (T-Mobile Netherlands), immediatly after it makes the connection, it gives the dialog 'cannot connect etc'. 3G is truly connected but no data is coming in.
Now I have found where the problem lies, sort of. 3G works fine when I don't configure my home Wifi connection. Whenever I configure that, 3G stops working. It doesn't matter if Wifi is turned on or off. 3G does have a dynamic ip, where my Wifi connection requires a static IP. But I make all these settings in the Wifi part of the configuration screen, the IP details are under the 802.11 b/g network card.
This used to work flawlessy on my Cruise. Anyone have a solution? Thanks!

good morning. as you are with tmobile i'd suggest you are having the same problems as me with tmobile uk. for some reason tmobile sets up a proxy server in your 3g data connection setup, this caused huge problems for me but clearing it solved them all.
try this first and see how you go.

Possible, but where exactly do I change the proxy settings of the 3G connection?

Hey that's a coincidence, just read the same question at GoT
I have similar problems.
Now and than my HSDPA connection works good, but at some moment I just can't reach any website.
Disconnecting and reconnecting to HSDPA sometimes helps, and sometimes I just have to wait a few minutes and than it works again.
I also tried another DNS (OpenDNS) but it doesn't solve the problem,
Proxy settings can be found at (I assume your dutch):
Instellingen> Meer> Verbindingen> Verbindingen> Mijn proxyserver instellen
At my TD2 is no proxy set, so thats not the cause.
Hope sombody else can help!

Do you have a static IP for WIFI as well? I kinda found out that setting WIFI on dynamic IP solves the 3G problem, so somehow they must be connected. But this should be able to work, it's almost as if 3G 'takes over' the static IP from the WIFI settings, but the connection settings from my 3G are offcourse set to dynamic.

I had exactly the same problem with my D2. I also had it on my Cruise with the later ROMs. The official HTC 6.1 ROM did not have this problem.
I experience it when I set up my wifi 802.11b/g network card in the phone to have a static IP address and set the default gateway. If I use DHCP there is no problem.
Setting the wifi card up on the phone DEFINITELY screws up the cellular data connection.

I use a dynamic IP, for me it doesn't work.
With my dear old Wizard (MDA Vario) I had no problem at all with the same settings!

yup thought i was the only one with this problem need a fix for it soon man otherwise we are gettin bumped for not havin the settings coz we on t-mobile

I solved it temporarily by setting Wifi to dynamic IP, but this prevents me from connecting at work. I'll send HTC an e-mail, let's see if they are willing to hot-fix this one

for me i find that the web sites work but any app that requires to go online ie facebook, msn, sky fire etc jus dont work wen you try to connect online......... stupid t-mobile

My connection problems are gone.
Maybe I (we) encountered hickups with the T-Mobile proxy-server....

maybe You can help me.
I have a MDA V (germany T-Mobile) and i can not connect to my AP here at Home.
I have a ASUS WL500g configured as AP behind my Firewall/Router. All other device in my house, a Laptop, a Netbook and a 'WII' working fine!
All get the IP from the Router, the AP works transparent.
D2 will not connect. The Mac-Address from the D2 is configured in the AP, and i can see the router statuspage and see the MAC of the D2 sometimes in the list. But only as "associated" and never as "associated authorized" as the Laptop here in example:
-------------------------------------------------
Stations List:
-------------
00:23:76:yy:xx:xx associated <-D2
00:1C:BF:yy:xx:xx associated authorized <- Laptop
--------------------------------------------------
I configured a lot in the settings, but i cant get the D2 online with wifi.
Can someone plz help a bit?
-
other question: if i manage the problem some day, is it possible to configure the Networksettings of the D2 device in the way that the device only use USB and te WiFI-Connection to access the internet? I hat it that the device use mobile-internet connection without asking me to do so.

Same problem

I was experiencing the same problem, only with the difference that I am using 3 different Wi-Fi adapter settings every day (for 3 different networks - two with fixed IP and one with DHCP enabled. Most elegant solution that I came up with was a small, but very handy application called "WiFi Profiles". Settings for WiFi adapter are easily changed by choosing a profile that you want to use and applying it. Before you disconnect from WiFi network, you just set adapter to DHCP, and after that your GPRS/3G/HSDPA connection works like a charm. By the way, I am proud owner of Touch HD but I am using Dutty`s Topaz based rom V3.4 XTREME SHIP.

Use WiFi internet not 3G (not tethering) on G1

Ok, so I've searched and found a million articles about tethering and that is the exact opposite that I would like to do.
My 3G prices are crazy and I don't have a data bundle. At home I have a Netgear WiFi ADSL router. My mission is to have my phone use the DSL internet through WiFi.
I am running Manup's 2.1 v1.5 rom. Works like a dream (thanks btw).
I go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > WiFi settings. WiFi is on.
There are two check boxes "Wi-Fi" and "Network notification", both are ticked.
Below "Wi-Fi" (in tiny font) it says "Connecting..." for a few seconds, then "Disconnected".
I have found my router's network and added it. It asked for the WEP key and the network is "Remembered". When I select it, it shows Excellent signal, WEP security and 3 options: Connect, Forget and Cancel. If I click connect, it does nothing.
I have the NetCounter app and yet no (0) data has traveled through wifi, only Cell (3G). Tried browser and market..
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can help me out with this.
My WiFi is working because I have a PC down stairs that is on the network through WiFi.
Thanks,
Dave
Oh, in my router's admin, in "Attached Devices", it only shows the two PCs and not the phone.. I have messed around with static ip on the phone a bit, but no luck.

To disable the 3G go to Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Only use 2G Networks (Thats on 1.6, should be the same on 2.1, but cant remember exactly...)
To connect to Wifi, reset the router and try again...that worked for me
EDIT: There are some widgets on the markets that toggle 3G/EDGE, wich is also usefull in your case...

Thanks, but disabling 3G only limits it to Edge/GPRS, its still using the mobile service provider's internet. I've got an app for that.
I tried resetting the router, but the phone doesn't want to connect to the network. Are you using any security? I am using 128 bit WEP encryption. I will mess around with that a bit, but cant see why it should cause any trouble.

I made the network "Open" (no WEP etc), still no connection. I tried using static IP, but nothing.
I have read a lot about people having problems with WiFi and their routers.
I also read that some mimo technoly that certain routers have causes problems. I have a Netgear DG834PN router.
Back to search I go...
