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.

XDA to act as modem

hey guys,
I have got the XDA Stella (also known as Kaiser) and i herd you can make this phone act as a modem. basically i got an archos (media tablet with internet) which i want to be able to use the internet on my archos through the phone. only problem is i have no idea how to do this or what to get?? can anyone advise please. it would be through wireless or i can do through USB, but was wondering how to do it.
thanks in advance
Shane

Your trying to use your phone as a computer modem right.

If so what you do is this. link computer to phone via usb.
mine then ask me if i want to internet share i click that then click done. if you dont get that option try going to start/programs/connections/internet sharing
that should do what you need.

Erm he wants to share the connection with an Archos, not with a PC. That won't work.
To the OP: USB most likely won't work, as the Archos certainly won't recognise the Kaiser. On the PC it requires Activesync and its drivers to be installed to work. We never know, you can try running internet sharing onto USB and plug it into the Archos, and see...
Otherwise you'd have to use WMWifiRouter or the manual hack to share the connection over Wifi. Beware that sucks battery down like hell on the Kaiser, don't expect more than 2 hours on a full battery.

Whats the Wifirouter you mean just on a normal computer or is it software to buy for the kaiser, and the manual hack am i likely to get caught by my service provider??
there is a option to adhoc to a computer, i was wondering if there is a way to change that to the archos?
also whats the manual hack or where can i find it??

Hey man all you have to do is use search, this topic has been discussed for at least a year now..
wmWiFirouter is a program that turns your phone into a wifi access point. Again, search has all of that info for you plus tons of other great knowledge.

Thanks got wifirouter working, just cant get my archos 5 to find it now

On the WMWifirouter site there should be a list of devices that will not work.. I think PSP's do not work.

Using the Raphael as an External Wireless Card

Does anyone know if this follow scenario is possible?
I want to connect the phone up to my computer via BT or the USB cord, and then the phone will connect via WiFi (802.11b/g) to a wireless router. Can this be done?
Thanks in advance.

Yes. It can be done with a program like wifi internet sharing. I have not used it myself, but NRG has it in his newest rom. You will want to link up with the usb cord because anytime I have wifi and BT going at the same time (internet wifi and BT headphones) there is a conflict. I have also heard that it isn't a great program, but you can find out for yourself. Hope that helps.

Here ya go!

I have to say that it does work. Im using NRG latest Energy rom, july 29, and i can share the internet from my fone to the laptop through wifi and connect the laptop to the internet. basically the fone works like a router... or u can also connect and share internet through usb... it seems to work just a lil bit faster.

I'm not sure how else to explain this. I'm NOT looking to use the cell phone's data plan. I AM looking to use the phone as a usb wireless (802.11b/g) adapter for the computer.
Anything like this?
The Wifi internet sharing is attempting the use of the data plan (no good for my situation).

use WIFImoster...
its wifi to usb mode is awesome. it will try to pick up a free hotspot first, but you can manually connect to a wpa/wep secured network and then launch it, works like a champ everytime.

u can always try to "obtain" a copy of wmwifirouter

This is just my opinion. It might be wrong!
If you've a computer that can connect to your cell phone with Bluetooth.
I'm quite sure that the computer must have Wifi function also.
Why you want to do some easiest thing to be much more complicated!

@navi_mapper:
Not always; I've seen some laptops with a Bluetooth only card, a WiFi only card, and Bluetooth/WiFi combo cards.
It likely the purchaser may not have chosen a combo option or the laptop came with Bluetooth only. Worst case, the laptop may have shipped with a legacy WiFi device and is too costly to replace.
Cheers,

PC Desktops rarely have wifi on the internal mobo. Also, I want as many options as possible with this phone. It's the best yet!

Note that there are early versions of WMWifiRouter (up to V.91, IIRC) still available that were released without encumberance. While it might not be Chainfire's preference, it's not exactly discussing "warez" to use an older version. Granted - the person you're cautioning seems to be insinuating that you get a cracked version...
I recommend paying for it, though - the supported paid version is a lot more reliable (and you can actually uninstall it without borking your network setup). It also offers a very nice USB-to-Wifi interface. I think the free ICSControl offered elsewhere on this forum does the same (USB-to-Wifi), but in my brief experience with that program it was not as reliable as WMWR.

Thanks. Didn't know that about the older versions of WMWR. I may save up for the $30 that it'll drain my treasure horde.

wifi router not seen by some computers
any ideas why wifi router works on some of my computers but not others. I am using it right now, but my computer downstairs does not see it at all. Have same issue at work some computers see the wifi signal some do not. Seems to be a windows security setting? Works great on computers that see it.

A Few Noob Questions

Ordered HD7 should have in a few days.
I got the Tmobile version if that makes a difference.
1. Do the apps purchased in market for HD2 be compatible with HD7?
2. Does HD7 have the ability to act as a wifi router like the HD2 does?
3. Do they use the same charging plug?
Thank you to who ever provides answers and not flame.
I have sat here over and hour reading these threads, not clear answers to what I am asking.
I do wish some one would do a feature by feature comparison of the two phones. I got this one simply because I am tired of the lag and problems with my HD2. I know we can flash roms and all that, not to my skills or time frame, i need a phone that the developers provide what every phone should have, if this one does not offer that, then back to nokia we go .
Thank you again.

Hi,
1: No it is a completely different marketplace and apps for Windows Mobile 6.5 are not compatible with Windows Phone 7.
2: No, at the moment you cannot use the phone as a Wifi Router although that may be possible in the future.
3: I'm not too sure, the HD7 uses a micro USB port. From what I've seen it appears that the HD2 uses micro as well but I can't be sure.
If you're looking for a phone that Just works, then Windows Phone 7 is the way to go. No ROM flashes or tweaking to get it better as it's all good out of the box.
Enjoy it!

Thank you, but not good news.
I take it that the windows 7 app market is probably much smaller.
I use the wifi router feature all the time when at clients locations and need to get on line with my lap top. This is a major problem, do you know if it can be used via usb and 3G?
Thank you again.

no it can not be used to tether at this time. Only for the lg and samsung has tethering been figured out. The phone is capable of it, you just have to get into a hidden menu that has not been found on the htc hd7 yet.
uhhh, the wp7 marketplace already has over 2k apps the first month...

Where do you see them on line? went to WM7 site, only showed me about 100 apps or so, maybe I am looking at wrong area.
Any idea of a time line or has any one heard of when we will be able to use the wifi router feature on this phone? without this feature, the phone becomes useless to me for work

Wifi Teather

Ok, so I just upgraded to Froyo, flashed Perception build 10. But, I can't get MobileAp to work. Like, it'll run and I can find the network on my laptop, but no internet access once I've connected
Ideas?

settings>wireless and network>mobile ap

Firebird kernel 24

Have you tried connecting with anything besides your laptop? An ipod or another device? I have always been able to connect with my windows devices but it can take a few minutes after connecting before internet access is obtained.
Aster you able to tether via usb?
You can also try using an app from the market to see if it will work if you haven't already.

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
It's in the market. I use it instead of mobileap cause it allows me to secure my wifi and allow only those who I know to connect. Mobileap is completely open to any and all. I'm sending this post from my hp laptop tethered to my captivate.

@bobarone....click mobile ap settings to enable secure connection. default is usually set to open

Thanks for your mention of Windows, because I just tried it on my Mac and that's what would not work. My iTouch worked fine though.
Any ideas on making it work with my Mac? if not that's not a big deal as that's not what I'll be using it for primarily, just wondering.
Thanks for your help, didn't even think about it!

Hmmm...i thought mac's "just worked" honestly I know nothing about them, every time I get a new laptop I say I am gonna get an apple but wind up with windows.
was just in best buy last week and the new ones look sweet so perhaps this summer I will finally make the leap.

Well... Macs are harder to break. lol idk if they 'just work' haha but only reason I even have an apple is because it's fast as hell for school work, and when I got it was before I learned linux so I thought it was the only Windows alternative. Learning linux has made most of this 'more advanced' adb stuff cake because I know all the shell commands haha
I would still recommend one though simply because you'll be relatively hard pressed to find a laptop with such high specs for that price anywhere else. That, and you can multiboot so you can decide what you like best. That was the deciding factor for me lol.
But thanks a lot for your help, this makes me feel much better. I use my wifi tether for work because the upload speeds suck hard and I never get jack done if I don't lol, so I'm happy this works!
