1) probably the two devices do not agree upon the password, when this happens, things get pretty messed up. I would recommend using a 10-digit WEP password, this seems to work between all devices (both client and server) we've tried. For example: 0123456789 . Over here phone numbers are 10 digits, so the pass is easy to remember too.

2) Not really. Worked fine on the iPhones we used for testing, but we're not iPhone experts. Perhaps the iPhone does not like open signals? If you get WEP to operate, I would advise trying again with the iPhone as well.

Current license keys are guaranteed to be valid for all 0.9x and 1.xx versions, so if we release version 1.99, that's still a free download/upgrade for you.

What happens at 2.0 is as of yet unknown (2.0 is not scheduled yet), but rest assured that all currently planned features (minor AND major) are planned for 1.xx releases and we intend to continue the 1.xx branch for quite some time to come. When we do reach 2.0, there's a very good chance it will be a completely free upgrade for existing customers. In the fairly odd case that it will not be free, the upgrade price will not be anywhere near the full purchase price.

Keep in mind though, that we do not have any intention of asking an upgrade price for minor new features (and several major features are still scheduled for 1.xx) - if there will eventually be an upgrade fee, you can be sure it'll be worth it.

i tried to connect a laptop via wifi to USB->wifi(USB from my pc with DSL), and after conecting i can ping from laptop to fone, but not from fone to laptop. And the connection between fone to pc doesnt communicate at all, where the 'Windows mobile Internet sharing connection' created in network connections isnt able to get an ip so shows limited connectivity and the fone RNDIS interface doesnt get an ip either. Ive tried many things including giving the internet sharing connection a fixed ip n changing some dhcp settings on fone but always have the same problem. Even tried Winsockxpfix... i returned the settings to default but it still doesnt connect. btw which USB mode should be used? RNDIS also has two modes. Which should be used among them? tried both options in RNDIS but still got the same problem. btw i do have the dhcp service running on my pc.

I've run into a rather strange issue since I started using 1.20. I haven't used the older versions so I'm not sure if this can be reproduced. Basically, the program runs amazing. I can play Team Fortress 2 online with roughly 100 ping, download large files quickly, etc. However, there are a couple websites that refuse to load while using WMWifiRouter. Two that I can think of off the top of my head are www.fileplanet.com and www.direct2drive.com

Is there a setting I'm missing that might be blocking those two specific sites, as well as similar ones? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] subsparx:
Update on this. For the past 3 days since I got WMWifiRouter I haven't been able to go to those sites, but they are working completely fine now. Not sure what the issue was with them but it appears to be fixed.

WMWifiRouter 1.20 Charging Problem

Hello,

I am using WMWifiRouter 1.20 under WM 6.1 Pro on an HTC Touch pro. The Software functions correctly. However there is a side effect when WMWifiRouter is being used: the phone stops charging, and the battery becomes depleted.

Scenario:

- WMWifiRouter is running: 3G -> Wifi

- The Phone is connected to a charger (NOT USB!)

- The Phone is charging (icon shows "plug" and "charging".)

- After a few minutes the phone stops charging, and battery drain starts, even though the phone is connected to the mains cable.

- If the charger cable is unplugged and re-plugged into the phone, charging begins again.

- Soon, charging stops again.

I see this behaviour only with WMWifiRouter. It doesn't occur with any other tested application.

Cheers,

-Z
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Maybe an issue with your provider's DNS, I have noticed these things happen sometimes. We're looing into using OpenDNS in an upcoming release instead.

There is currently no setting in WMWifiRouter that would block or allow these sites.

We're looking into this, so far haven't found what the issue is. We haven't been able to replicate the issue, but we're trying some things that may work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rottis:
I can confirm this. Same phone, same problem.

Easy to recreate by using the battery to 0% so that the phone turns off,con nect charger and start the phone, then run wmwifirouter and connect into it using a computer and start downloading something (big preferably so it does not complete). After a while, the phone turns off as battery has ran out.

Same Problem, On HTC TYTN2

Battery stops charging
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Maverick_TN:
I have had the same battery charging problem on my XV6800 "HTC TITAN/Mogul" running Windows Mobile 6.1 also, but I have associated it with the thermal protection. Under load of WiFi and cellular network connection the unit gets hot while on the charger. I have taken steps to cool the unit while in operation and it doesn't stop charging.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hschutte:
I have this issue on my Diamond aswell.

What I've found is that if you press the power button to switch off the screen after setting up the wifi connection the battery drain is less and the charging doesn't seem to get disconnected that often.

Another thing that helps is also keeping the phone cool (i've actually got a fan pointing at it) while it's connected and charging. This keeps my phone temp below 31 degrees Celcius most of the time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zagonielod:
and the same issue on HTC Touch Cruise
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] epfyffer:
+1 same problem on the Samsung Omnia i900... Battery stop charging and battery level drains very fast !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Yes, so far seems to have to do with the temperature protection. Not quite sure if this is fixed in hardware or possible to change in software, though. After some testing, I can get the Raphael to consistently stop charging at 48 degrees celsius (and starts again when below 48), while a TyTN II will happily continue charging well into 65 degrees. In other words, we're not seeing this on a TyTN II, while some of you ARE seeing it on a TyTN II.

Using the power button to turn off the screen is definitly advised as it does save a lot of power and heat.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smatic:
Any guys, If you use the software in HTC TouchPor, have the heat problem.

Suggestion, you reduce the WiFi output power to reduce the TouchPro temperature.

It works for me, battery almost keep 100% and always charge.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adtman:
Sorry for busting in on this thread, but I don't know what else to do. I have an ATT Tilt. I d/l wmwifirouter. With USB connected it will tell me that it is connected on the phone and on the pc, however the pc does not receive any packets and will not surf. Without the USB it tells me the the "remote party has ended this connection." I have WM6.1. Any ideas as to what I might do to get this little guy working?

If you need to delete this post because it is off topic then I understand. If not thanks for the assistance.

Thank you so much,

Hi!

I don't want to read all the Post inside this Thread..107 pages...:D

My Question:

How can i set up this:

My PC is connected through LAN to my FritzBox, which is connected to the Internet.

I connect my Kaiser via USB to my PC. Mobile Device Center is installed, so i can use the shared Internet Connection on my Kaiser

Now the Question: Can i share the PC's Internet Connection over WLAN, i mean, can i connect my Notebook to the Kaiser, to use it's Internet Connection? If yes, how to set up wmwifirouter/my pc for this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Please check if you have a proxy setup on your phone... AT&T phones often do, this lets WMWifiRouter not connect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darksupernova:
Sorry but as some other users have said, im not going to read all 100 pages pages of this thread!

I have had a quick flick though, and maybe found what i was looking for but am unsure, so ill ask again anyway!

My question:

Is it possable to use wmwifirouter as a wireless network card for my PC?

Basically i am using a PC at the moment that is in wifi range of a router but it does not have a wifi card in it, so i am having to use dial up from my phone which is so slow! I am not sure how much longer i am going to be using this computer so buying a PCI card is out of the question. However if i could turn my samsung i900 omnia into a wifi card over USB then this could be used again if i needed it in the future!

I did email the support at wmwifirouter.com and i got the responce that it was possable but no explanation on how to do it, so if someone could tell me here that would be great.

I did see a couple of posts about wifi->usb but im not sure if this is the same thing??

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

M

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
I couldn't get this to work, I tried to uninstall and now under wireless manager there is no Wifi option. Someone please help, I tried to search this to see if there was a fix but I couldn't find anything. I was using 1.20 and used the crash dump before uninstalling and still nothing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
I think this is what I need, but will it work on 6700, or know what would?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s14tam:
Check to see if your ICS has multiple accounts in it. It is probably trying to connect to the wrong att internet account. I had the same problem on my brothers tilt. I had to find the acount in the registry and delete all the entries for the account that was screwing it up. I forgot where it is though so you'll have to research. Good Luck!

reinstall problem

i install the 0.91 version and it was working very well. i uninstall it for some reason, and tried t reinstall it, but install fail every time, and it tell me there is a version that as to be desinstall, if i want to desinstall it, clicking "yes" and after :

install fail ... :(

how can i reinstall it ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nallyvaico:
How does UNINSTALL work with this new 1.20 version? In the previous versions it caused a complete havoc in the registry and rom files so that you could hardly use regular wi-fi, so the only solution would have to be hard reset. How is it this time?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
I'm currently still having this problem and I used 1.20, still waiting to see if there's a fix before the hard reset. I saw that there was a cab file that suppose to reset wifi setting back to default values, tried it on my 6700 and it didn't work. It's very frustrating

menu connect not open up in wmwifirouter 1.2

Hi

I have a Axim Dell x50v pocket pc and i have installed this soft to use internet in my laptop from pocket pc usb. My pocket is connected to internet via wifi with other computer, so the connection is USB - pocket pc - WIFI. The problem is when i start the soft, immediately appear the message error: "E: error.adapter_list". Press ok and i can to start the soft but the menu "connect" is not visible, i can`t see the options from this menu. Some idea please???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] segadc:
I mistakenly installed v.91 (used the cab I already had when in wm6.0) instead of checking out the new one. Anyway. I am manually deleteing it ( did use that crash backup feature before a failed uninstall, deleted wifi, added a new adhock connection and deleted to fix that issue). I have one more file to delete but cannot. Its in Windows/AppMgr called Jorrit jonma WMWifiRouter. I get an access denied. I want this gone so I don't see WMWifiRouter in the remove programs list. Or is here a registry entry I need to delete Thanks! I do not want to have to hardreset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
People, if you are having serious issues, please write to support @ wmwifirouter.com.

v0.91 is NOT in any way supported. You want to use it, you're on your own.

The uninstallation issue is not present in 1.20 (the old uninstaller just tried to rectify the problems if there were any, but that doesn't work right on some devices either). You may still have problems with the wifi, this is actually due to a combination of bugs in Windows Mobile WZC and the wifi drivers. If you change a number of settings, the wifi driver simply goes crazy and corrupts it's own settings. We have worked directly with Microsoft to get this issue as 'solved as possible' for the current generation of devices, and it happens a lot less now, but it can still happen. It's not something WMWifiRouter itself does.

There is no simple fix for this, though transplanting a part of HKLM\Comm registry from a correctly working device to the errant device sometimes works.

@cubanboy

This is a known issue and it's being worked on (next release will likely fix this). If you have a device with this issue, make sure wifi is turned on before starting WMWifiRouter.

@segadc

There is no way I know of to remove that file, you do not have the permission to do so. I'm unsure if removing that file would actually fix the issue, though.

I am using Michy's ROM for Athena 5.1 which come with wmwifirouter 0.8 or 0.8 built in. However, not sure why it can't be used. I subsequently install wmwifirouter 1.2 and it mess up my wifi. I can't connect to any wifi network that I used to be able to install. I didn't uninstall the old wmwifirouter as it is built into the rom. the ieee 802.11b/g compatible wifi adapter setting innetwork adapter showed use specific ip, and the ip is the one set by wifirouter 192.168.3.1, same as the dns under name server. If I keep that setting, I can connect to the wifi hotspot, but unable to receive any data. the webpage just can't open. If I set it to use server-assigned ip address, it just don't connect. I hard resetted, reflash the rom, reflash the radio to 1.57, even repair corrupt wifi using mtty, all end up with the same problem. If I connect the athena to wmdc, it pop up in the athena "cannot obtain server-assigned ip address. try again later or enter an IP address in network setting".

anyone can help? my wifi is screwed...

Problem resolved

Hi

I write to nothing ask else to tell everybody that my problem with the menu "connect" was resolved with the new released wmwifirouter 1.25. So i can to connect my laptop to internet across my pocket pc by usb. My PPC is connected to internet via wifi through ad-hoc connection with other PC.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
People have reported Omnia and iPod Touch both working, yes.

Have seen this once before, not a Vista expert myself though. Have you checked if your phone has a proxy set up? This may be the cause.

Not at this time, no.

Good to know... Dell Axim x50v was it? Another one for the supported devices :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Calis:
Thanks Chainfire

First, I'd like to say: I don't buy software...ever. Read into that what you will. After trying many things, I downloaded v1.25, ran it and it's working. After playing with it for about an hour I came back and dropped some money down on it. I didn't even let it run out the 21 day trial. Well worth the price.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A San:
I am new here, I just want to know where can I download the trial version for testing. I've already go to first page, and nothing could be download or to the global websites, and also only for registered user.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sadthai:
wmwifirouter has the "ability to feed internet to your normal wireless router"

how does this work? i do not see any documentary concerning this feature or how to set it up.

i'm assuming that if i fee internet into my wireless router, then the router pass the internet connection to my ps3, my ps3 should be able to go online?

would someone please help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
A description on how to do that can be found here:

http://support.wmwifirouter.com/knowledge/KB0806019/

Note that this article has not been updated for v1.25 yet, if you are using that, go to Options -> Configuration -> Wifi Network and make sure WMWifiRouter does not create a wifi network at all nor sets ad-hoc mode.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MikesDroid:
I've heard about this program for a while now, and never really got around to trying it. I never had the need because I didn't have a laptop. I recently got a laptop, and I could have REALLY used this last weekend. Downloaded it today, gave it a try, and it works great. Def gonna buy this one. Well done man!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 96XJSport:
Can't bear to read through all 110 pages....but I did search the thread and read through much of it, to no avail!

Just downloaded both .cab and AS .exe (1.25 trial) directly from website, and both result in "installation of wmwifirouter.cab unsuccessful" at the device...where do I go from here? Knowledgebase references alternate installer, but I don't see one on the trial download page....

Wifi definitely switched on prior to attempting installs...also, I did try several soft resets...

No issues using Internet Sharing via USB...although, upon upgrading to 6.1, I did have to use the Internet Sharing .cab fix....(not sure it matters, but figured I'd mention it just in case)

Sprint HTC Mogul, 6.1 Rom....

FIX:

Did a hard reset, made room on my storage card, and now working great....sweet app!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Just FYI, there is no longer an alternate installer - this will have to be adjusted in the knowledgebase.

For those that have this specific issue right now, the cause seems to be incompletely or not ran carrier customizations. Not sure yet exactly how/why this is, though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 96XJSport:
:confused: Another question:

I do realize the phone interacts with WMWifi the same that it did with Internet Sharing (i.e. interrupts data during call, resumes after hangup). But it seems I have no ability to use my BT headset while WMWifi is "connected". If I disconnect, my BT headset works fine....is this the way the program is designed? I hope not, as I am finding this to be a big issue, for me at least, one which I never had when utilizing Internet Sharing via USB.....

In fact, what's weird is I tried a soft reset, then used BT headset to "redial" last number...works fine. Then, I started WMWifi. When I used headset to try to redial (by pressing button on BT headset twice in quick succession), it starts a redial, but my BT is disconnected immediately after and I have no further connection with my BT headset. Phone works fine on the handset, just lose my BT headset. I'm guessing it has something to do with the way the program "takes over" BT control...but to be perfectly honest, I have no intention of ever connecting utilizing BT connectability with this program. Perhaps I can disable WMWifi's "take over" of any BT control?

I hope I explained this in a an understandable way....:D

BTW, running 6.1 Rom on Sprint Mogul....

UPDATE:

Just tried same situation, but using WMWifi to connect internet to USB. BT works fine that way, just as it always did with the standard WM IS app...

I have never really used the Wifi function on my phone, so I don't know if the BT ever worked while Wifi was on or connected...perhaps it has nothing to do with the software, and the phone simply isn't able to utilize both Wifi and BT at the same time??

Also, did some research and others have had similar problems, but could not find one possible solution - NOTHING!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stealthj:
just downloaded the trial for 8525. all functions work. but with adhoc, you can only connect one device at a time right? . i will try connecting to router, got a few routers to test it with.any key?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
You can connect multiple devices in ad-hoc mode :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 96XJSport:
Chainfire -

Any thoughts on my post above RE: using Wifi and BT at the same time on a Mogul? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Not really.. We're aware this conflicts on some devices, it's quite likely because many devices have a single antenna that is used for both bluetooth and wifi (and thus can interfere with eachother), combined with drivers that are not built to handle it. That's 'informed speculation', though ;)

I can assure you however, even though WMWifiRouter also offers the option to share over bluetooth,

nothing

is done with/to your bluetooth stack unless you choose a connection profile that actually uses it (this is true as well for cellular, wifi, usb). It's not something WMWifiRouter is doing, it's something your device is (not) doing.

I do know there some registry edit you can do on a device or two that enables simultaneous use (in the driver?). I think it was for the Athena, but not sure, been a while since I've seen that hack.

And BTW, I see you mentioned the data connection being interrupted during a call and resuming after... that is not "normal" behaviour as you describe it, in fact, it depends entirely on the network you are using and it's capabilities. For comparison, my data connection

never

drops when I get a call (it'll happily keep going), while for other people calls do not come through at all when a data connection is active. For more information, see http://support.wmwifirouter.com/knowledge/KB0802013/.
