WMWifiRouter

Being out of town in a hotel that has a flickering connection with a wireless (more spiritless than wireless....) I thought of giving my installed WMWifiRouter a try. I had it installed some time in January and never used it. Despite the successful connection between the Kaiser and the network, the laptop recognized the WMWifiRouter only twice, for very short time, and it never connected. I searched for instructions in the forum and the only available stated that WMWifiRouter 8 had everything packaged in the cab, no extra hacking needed. It also all referred to a website which apparently has been taken down. Has anybody made it work successfully? Are there any changes that need to be done to the phone other than installing and running the WMWifiRouter? Does the Internet Sharing Kaiser program need to be specially configured? Finally, does the Laptop need to be set up in any special way?
Thanks for any help!

you need to make an adhoc wifi connection between your laptop and phone before running the app...

I don't recall ever having to perform that step.

At some point you had made an adhoc connection to your phone, if it was there previously then you didnt have to do that first step. But if you never set up an adhoc connection to the other device then its necessary to do so before running the app.

How do you make an ad hoc Wifi connection between the phone and the laptop? I am not sure I understand what that means.Could you please explain in simple steps?

I could be wrong. But I believed the latest WmWifirouter package will handle everything on the PDA side include the adhoc SSID. Otherwise:
1. Start > Settings > Connections > "Wi-fi" > "Add New ..."
2. "wifirouter" for Netowork Name, "Connects to:" = "The Internet", Check "This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection"
3. In Wmwifirouter, make sure to check "Use DHCP Allocator" so that Kaiser will acted as a DHCP server and assign IP to yr laptop, click "connect"
4. From yr laptop, search for "wifirouter" as SSID and connect to it.

The final version of the program does not allow for DHCP allocations etc., seems to do it all by itself. The ironic thing is that it connected somehow, after about 10 attempts, and I am usiing it to write this one.
Thanks for all your help and patience!

WMWiFiRouter site down
I'd like to give WMWiFiRouter a try. The site is down. How can I get a copy?
Thanks, Bren

The files had to be removed at the authors request. Keep checking his site for details!

Or you can check this thread:

Also im going to lock this thread, all support details should be referred to the above thread due to the authors request to pull the software. I dont want to have this app sneaking its way in and having negative affects on the author.

WIFI problems. Cannot connect to the internet

I am a fresh owner of an unlocked HTC 8925 and I am having the hardest time connecting to the internet via WIFI. I connect to any hotspot just fine (atleast that's what the phone indicates to me) but when it is time to hit the internet with internet explorer it tells me that I can't go anywhere. (Yes, I chose that this connection connects to the internet)
I don't recall the exact error message but it was along the lines of that any websites I tried to go to was name unknown or something like that. I'll get the exact error message if needed.
Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

have you got the IEEE 802.11b/g etc set to "the internet"?
it may be obvious/you've already checked it, but i thought i'd ask, seeing as no one has commented yet...

GOT IT! At least for myself (HTC Touch "Elf" w/ ShadoW 2.0 ROM).
Was going MAD over this.
Problem is that some programs (in my case the WMWiFi Router ICS software) changes the default network settings for WiFi.
Go to Settings-->WiFi -->Network Adapters Tab. Click on your main WiFi adapter (in my case "IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter") and select "Use server assigned IP address".
If this doesn't help (i.e. already checked) I do apologize. Worked in my case.
Hope this helps!

wifi ad hoc?

Hello! new to N1 forum, could any1 tell me if its even possible to connect via wifi to an ad hoc network. Im using CyanogenMod-5 rom which finds network but fails to connect. any help wld be great. sorry if this is the wrong place for my question.
regards bevan

Yes, you'll have to edit the (tiwlan.ini0) and (wpa_supplicant.conf). When I get to night...i'll try to post what you need to edit.
I just got my N1 today and will playing with it ...so it might be around 10-11 CST to night when I post back with the info.

Here a quick type up
going to system/etc/wifi and edit tiwlan.ini...do a seach for WiFiAdhoc and it should take to
WiFiAdhoc = 0 and change the 0 to 1...right ather WiFiAdhoc put
dot11DesiredSSID = CARPC what ever you want...as you can see I use (carpc) so I can connect to my carpc.
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0 this will stay 0 so it all should look like this
WiFiAdhoc = 1
dot11DesiredSSID = CARPC
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0
Now for wpa_supplicant.conf add this to very bottom
ssid="CARPC"
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
}
If you still need help just post back in here....

thanks
soloxp hope ur enjoying the new phone & yes it seem I need a little more help with this. now as Im new to android I've never actually edited setting before. I found setting/etc/wifi but could u please point me a tutorial on how I edit this file. thankyou for ur time.

ur welcome!

You can try these...just change my setting to your and see if it works.
I try to insert a rar file. i'll try another way.

WEP works fine without making any changes. So if its just a quick temporary solution use that.
Thats what I used when in Japan for net on the N1, as the appartment only provided a LAN cable & I only had a netbook with me.

Hi, I changed my settings in wifi with yours using win rar (maybe that's not how to do it?) but didn't work sadly. when trying to flash told me file was bad. should I mod this file using some other programe? not sure. am a noob but willing to learn how this is done thanks again!

In order to obtain an IP address automatically. You need to be running a DHCP server which I doubt you are.
To get around this set a static IP address on the phone.

My phone can obtain network address ONLY if my laptop is connected to internet. (no problem).

There's no tiwlan.ini file in nexus one & there's no need to edit it. just have to edit wpa_supplicant.conf.

cheers

have kind of given up on the ad hoc thing for now but thanks for advice guys. Im on 3g mobile broadband and recently got a 3g router which fixed my problem. when I leave the house and require internet I just use 3g sim card works fine so no need for ad hoc at the moment.

AdHoc - unsuccesfully
Hello all.
I have the same problem with adhocing my N1 and wireless adapter D-Link DWA-150.
I used to check all the "solutions" of this problem (wpa_supplicant. conf, rooting, new SSID...) but it seems not usefull for me.((
To soloxp - there is not any tiwlan.ini in N1. At least in CyanogenMod 5.0.6.N1.
What can I do more to connect my wireless adapters?..

Has anyone figured this out? I am running CyanogenMod 5.0.7.1 and I do have the wpa_supplicant.conf file but I'm not sure what to put in it as far as editing it. I use WMWiFiRouter on a Windows Mobile phone because that phone is 3G and my Nexus One only gets EDGE. My iPhone and computers can connect up to my WM phone just fine I just can't get my N1 to connect to it.

So this is indeed the way for my question and possibly the solution..
I have been asking abt this,
I got N1, CM7 latest...
linksys compact g wireless USB adapter
after creating adhoc connection I connect my phone and it stuck at "obtaining IP address"
Now please tell me how can a place or make a change in N1 system files?
please help me with links and yeah Im a nooobbb

USB tether program?

Just picked up the Vibrant (T-Mobile's version of Galaxy S) today. Is there another USB tether program besides PDAnet for Android? Hopefully point and click.
Thanks for replying.

I'm afraid you are at the wrong address here. The International Version of the SGS has an integrated piece of software that has been reported to work flawlessly.
For one you have a device specific forum and if nothing is going on, your post still doesn't belong in Android Development but in the Application section of this Subforum.

probably you should try easytether! great program for tethering your internet connection via usb!

Isn't there a possibility to debrand the Vibrant and to flash a not-branded firmware which allows USB-tethering. Some providers here in Austria lock this feature too but after debranding it works well.

I used PDA net for a long time, its the best Usb thether app!
You could also try updating the phone, you would get usb thether option and mobile ap also..
