wmwifirouter alternative?

Awhile back ago I saw that there was a program that does the same thing as wmwifirouter but it had more options and was free. Does anybody know it was? I been searching but all i could find was wmwifirouter. Help please!

im interested in that too!!
I use wmwifirouter A LOT!!, but its anoying to keep changing the DATE so the trial keeps working, hehe
aslo is it normal that my battery last only like 20 minutes while using it!?

altho i have wifirouter 1.20 and really like it--really easy setup as secured
network..
there is this for free.. (PdaNet) http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Communications/PdaNet-Windows-Mobile-21760.shtml

i dont use it, i just found it for this thread, so i dont know..
like i said, i use the ""majic cab" of wmwifirouter

ICS Control is probably the one you're thinking of:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377047
It's complicated and doesn't have the super simple user interface that WMWifiRouter has, but it's free and more capable, for those that know how to use the capabilities.

yup, ics control was it. Thanks for the responses! not as easy to us as wmwifirouter but not too hard either. I wanted to be able to use port forwarding but doesnt look like at&t will let me use bittorrent ports anyways haha.

USB tether w/o Root. PDAnet for Android Available now!

Hey everyone, PDAnet is now available for android!
http://junefabrics.com/android/index.php
PdaNet does NOT require root access or hacking your phone's firmware in order to work. It is just a regular Android application that works on all Android phones as-is. Currently this initial version supports USB tethering on the T-Mobile G1 phone. Tethering is secure and will also charge your phone at the same time. Your phone can either connect to 3G data or WiFi.

It works perfectly, and root access is not required.
Enjoy!

Good find! Works best with Opera browser (other browsers such as IE and Firefox, won't display pictures for some reason...) Has some connectivity issues when using longer than 5 minutes (yes, I have enable usb bugging enabled and stay alive while connected via usb) All and all, a good program for your laptop without draining your G1 or when the REAL internet goes out. Good find! Thanks! Also, incredibly simple to use!!!

EXE installer? WTF?! How does it work? Does the program require something on the computer-end too?
I'm Linux user, so I can't use it?

Yes, it seems to be only compatible with windows. Since you're in linux, you may try running it through WINE to see what happens.

Did you experience the pictures not loading problem also while using IE or firefox?

this doesn't really seem to work yet
I was able to install it without much trouble and the initial connection looked promising (well, some pages came up anyway).
It was basically impossible to connect to Speedtest.net however and Speakeasy only rated my connection at 287/283 kbps at best (the G1 was on WiFi). I tested it again with the G1 on 3G and got a 409/330 kbps (doesn't that seem weird that it would rate better on 3G?) but then it seemed to stop connecting somehow and I had to restart the program and reestablish the connection on the PC. After a few more minutes it happened again. I would call this basically not useful at the moment, but I hope they can work the bugs out and get some decent speed out of it.
For reference, using Tether WiFi to connect to the G1 over 3G Speakeasy rated the connection at 699/316 kbps. And in my experience it's stable/consistent.
As a disclaimer, this was on my work laptop which has some pretty hefty encryption software installed. While this may be the problem, I didn't have any trouble connecting initially (multiple times).
Additional:
Their "reviews" section is just "customer testimonials", as my honest yet critical assessment of the app's inability to perform as intended was NOT posted and they didn't even bother to drop me an email to try to sort out the problem. I hope they can improve on the app, but they're quickly losing my respect and interest.

I just got this. I dl it to my sd card, connect phone to pc w usb, ran exe through windows. Installed program automatically onto phone. Windows asks to install driver for g1 and it does the work from there.
It seems to work ok, the first few tries on my desktop it would disconnect after a few minutes, restarted phone and its been better but still only seems to stay connected for about 20 min, which should be ample time to do alittle websurfing without getting mad about disconnects.

well they might not have replied because they are aware of the problem, and they clearly state that this is beta software. if you look at the known issues the first one is about the connection dropping and having to reconnect.
once they work out the bugs this software will be pretty useful because of how easy it is to use.

if only i could plug the g1 into the 360 would save me $100...or if i could share the connection with my windows media desktop(i use it as a media server for my xbox and its not even close to a internet connection).
i tried to connect it but it does the network doesnt have sufficient MTU settings. xbox live requires a minimum MTU setting of 1364.
darn.
ill be watching for updates though, should be useful once fully operational.

i've been using mine for a while now...no problems once i turn off the wifi switch on my laptop...recently when i plug it in tho, it says PDAnet is expiring soon...is this supposed to be a paid app?

This app is gay... It was pretty good at first... but once the guy updated to r1.5... its been acting gay... it would come up with random blockings... it blocked www.google.com... wtf?... and wikipedia... yahoo answers... so I just got root and installed WiFi Tether for Root users... works way better and doesnt have blocks...

USB tether 4.2.6
This is supposed to be plug and play. A lot of people have said it's great. I have not been so fortunate. Anyway, could someone give me directions on how to use this. 1. plug in phone via USB. 2. settings/wireless settings/ internet tether (on). 3. Go to PC and click on G1Tether click connect. For me this does not work. Help.

This application is a fine hold-over for people who are too stupid to get root, but it is a VERY VERY poor imitation of tethering.
1) A real tethering solution will NOT require proprietary crap to be installed on the CLIENT.
2) Wired or Wireless tether for root users *IS* a *TRUE* plug-it-in-and-it-works solution. Run the program on the phone, plug in the wire, and you're done. No weird nonsense to be installed on the computer.

Can this be done may sound stupid but oh whatever

Here is the background of my question, I let a co-worker borrow my wireless adaptor for my xbox. No wouldn't it be awesome if you could use your Fuze to connect to the internet via wifi signal for xbox? Or even you wirelss provider (would probably go over 5gig cap though). Hey man that would be a rock solid idea.

NRG Puts the "WiFi Internet Sharing" application on all of his Roms. But I am sure that you could find it if you searched for it.
@Buffalo Your sig leads me to believe you have NRGZ28's latest Rom. You should be able to go to all programs and find this on the list.

but how would you then get the signal to the xbox? i didn't think either the 360 or original had a wireless card in it. You would need some type of adapter to go to the xbox that would allow it to connect. If you do find a way, let us know, I don't have a wireless bridge for my xbox, this would be useful.

We are saying that you need to have the wireless adapter for the Xbox or the Xbox 360. I have done this with my Wii and it worked fine. I have no idea how much data i used. Is there a program that will log how much data you have used? Thanks

Look for Spb GPRS Monitor

I was wondering a way to bypass ms wifi adaptor
I have one already and I have another xbox, I know you can do it with a laptop and crossover cable but, I was just wandering and I am pretty sure that you will go over your internet cap if you played onlilne a good bit.

I send wifi from my phone to my laptop, and then cat5 to the xbox 360 to avoid having to buy the wireless adapter.
I never paid attention to usage though, my data is unlimited.
... but now i'm curious.

I'm curious too..
Anybody can post some usage stats.

OK.
2 hours Online
Data transfered: 351MB
Of which is uploaded data: 124MB
2 hours was about 12 / 13 games of halo 3
also, sat idiling in lobby for a while chatting to some friends in a party.
And - Pulled host in one game - lol
Intermittent Yellow bar Latency, meaning over 150ms to host, but green most of the time.
Not too bad, But if your on a data plan, then unlimited probably does not literally mean unlimited.
Most probably your isp / carrier will have a FUP (Fair usage policy) which will entitle you to a couple of GiB
Also - if your a 3g / hspda user, they can tell when you are tethering, and may not even count it to your bundle allowance.
I know T-Mobile in the uk here, used to not allow tethering, however, when web and walk came out, they changed their stand on that.

[Q] Wifi so slow that it's useless

Ok guys, seriously. This device is amazing except for the fact that the wifi on it
absolutely sucks.
Is it hardware, and do I need to go exchange mine,
or is it software?

Try loading dropbox.. how fast do the files dl? Have you tried tethering to a 3g phone to compare speeds or tested other networks? Are you just testing browser speed and have you tried Opera or Dolphin HD to compare?

Dropbox is REALLY slow and fails to download more often than it succeeds. Which sucks cause I am using it to save the apps that I want in case there's an update that wipes everything.
Dolphin HD is not bad, but still really slow. like 10 seconds for google.com to load.
I have an alternate market installed, and its good, but almost useless since It fails to download so often.
EDIT: oops, I do not have tethering on a 3g since I am not paying the rediculous 3g fees when I have wifi everywhere. I would literally never use the 3g.
And since you are required to get a data plan if you get an android, or any other smartphone, that is out of my reach.
I wonder if the cell companies realize that they are losing money this way?

Have you tested other networks? Is the wifi weak where you live? If yes to both swap the NC with another unit.. My 3g/wifi tethered connection is about 4 seconds to load google on the stock browser. Dropbox has never dropped a single app I have uploaded or DL's (awesome app btw!!).

Well, Im on a college campus, there are usually 4 or 5 APs visible on the same channel with the same name at any given time. iPhones work fine on it, iPod touches work well on it...
The nook registered with the network easier than any of the above devices, except that it drops connections/can't download/download speed is terrible.

Why not go to the same BN you bought the unit and test the wifi against the demo units? IF yours is considerable slower or the signal is weaker swap it as defective.

No problems here, fast on wifi at home or 3g tether.

What have you been using to tether?

I think the worst-case is that the nook does not like the wifi here. That no nook would work well with this network. Linux doen't like the network either, it will keep randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. It makes me worry that I have a device that will basically have no internet until I leave college.

I have no problems with wifi on this device.
Using 6 mbit AT&T DSL Home Service, over wifi wireless-g, WRT54-GL flashed to Tomato 1.25. Both devices in the next room, in the same spot, downloading a 28.3 MB file.
Nook Color: 1m 1s
Evo 4G: 1m 8s
So, defective devices notwithstanding, there is nothing inherently wrong with the Nook's wifi performance at all.

you guys suck. Mine is pretty much useless for webbrowsing, and IM BARELY works, dropbox just refuses to fully download anything.
Guess it's back to B&N tomorrow... I guess I'll unroot it tonight.
Also it was doing this before the root, so I know its not that .

Just swap it and report back.. You'll be up to speed in no time

Yeah, I'm just worried that it doesn't like our wpa enterprise network and it'll never work on it...
Thanks guys, I guess I'll report back when I get a new one.

Damnit guys... Now I'm just confused...
Guess this thing is broken, and back to the store it goes...

I was having the same issues as yourself.....till i:
Switched my security from "WPA-PSK [TKIP]" to "WPA2-PSK [AES]"

Changing Channel on Router Solved: Once Slow Nook Wifi to Super Fast Nook Wifi
I just wanted to pass along the solution that worked for me:
I had a nook wifi and bought a new nook wifi/3g for my mom. Sometime after synching both of these, my nook wifi starting going in like super slow mo! So much, that it was almost useless to try to shop for new books. My favorite search is "0.00 <any topic>" to search for free books on a particular topic.
So, after googling for like ever, the fix I tried that worked was to change the channel on my router (linksys) from channel 6 to channel 11
Whallah, didn't have to reenter my credentials (I'm using wep security), everything just went from super slow mo to super fast again! Love my nook again!

yea im having issues too, but i dont think its with the nook color. i was using it stock rooted for a few days and it was pretty quick. recently put on froyo and now market is slow and so is browsing. going to try a higher class card and see if that helps. but ill have to look up other answers.

Working reverse tether!

Ok, Ive been looking around these forums for a while and havent come across a working way to tether FROM you pc TO your tablet over wifi. I can do it over usb but the play store doesnt work and the bluetooth option isnt for me. I found a way to actually get wifi to work (at least for me) if thiere is a easier way please let me know
First for me I am using to wifi cards for this however it should work over Ethernet or hell even dial-up.
1.Whatever connection you are using to connect to the web allow it to share the connection.
2.Download this app WiFiHotspot creator or if you trust me here is a link to it http://jumbofiles.com/y0l9dv3pbh5x be aware that unless you go for a advance install it wants to install alot of bloatware, nothing malicious just annoying!!!!
3. Once its installed just run it, it's very self-explanatory.
I've noticed its not very fast but it gets the job done. Also it works for everything Ive tested it with. Play, Youtube, network games.
If its any help Im running Windows 7
Thanx guys

I use connectify it gets the job done very well. I also am running the comp off of wifi and re broadcasting wifi with the same card using it

Really. i always had trouble with connectify, i could surf the web but couldnt use it to download stuff from the play store. might have to dig around the advance options some more

You beautiful beautiful man, seriously so grateful for this. You absolute lifesaver. God if I could give you a hug I would.

I wasn't able to get your file because the site was down but I downloaded the program from the authors site, start the install and AVG flipped out. After looking around a bit, it's not just me. Be careful w/ this program.

+1 for connectify.
Beamed from my Grouper

Can yoy reupload the file. It seems down!!
Thankss!!!
