i would love to try this software but for some reason it will not install on my sprint htc touch.. is there a reason for this? wm6 it has....

I tried 0.87 again and still the same issue. I also tried using a static IP yet the iPod's WIFI connection indicator continues to flash on & off. It is curious that the DHCP lookup works fine in 0.80 but not in 0.87.

Also one suggestion: perhaps allow the left soft-key to toggle connect / disconnect?

Last version do not work with my Samsung i600
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike Blitz:
Is this to be used as a wireless adapter connected direct via usb to a pc?

I have followed the instructions but half the time it comes up as limited or no connectivity.

It also tried to use t-mobile internet and not my wireless router.

Probably a little mistake on my part.

I am using a Vario II with WM6 the version direct from HTC/T-Mobile.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
It's better to find it through searching than manually adding it.

This is a known 'issue' with no workaround. Don't even know why this is. Should add this to FAQ.

Thanks, added to ICS Install section

Will look at this.

Thanks for the info, added to second post.

Is your WiFi turned on when you install it?

Will release v0.88 with the added configuration option soon. As for connect / disconnect, this sounds easier than it is :D It'll probably be there before v1.00 though.

Doesn't work? How doesn't it work? Does it crash? You can't connect other devices? Need more info.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
No, this is used to give other devices that have WiFi access to your phone's data connection. It is NOT to provide WiFi access to your PC!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lennysh:
This will not work on any classic edition of Windows Mobile. This app is designed to share a phones data connection over WiFi. Since it's a classic edition, that means it is not a phone. Therefore you have no Cellular Data Connection. So that is why ICS is not working. ICS does not come on classic editions for this reason. Not unless you can find a way to share the net that the classic receives from activesync to another wifi device, this will be pointless...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike Blitz:
Ok thankyou for the quick reply.

Is there anyway I would be able to use the vario as a wireless adapter?

Vista Enterprise and WMWifiRouter

I am running .91 version and Vista.

In order to get this to work after installing it, you will need to create a WMWifiRouter SSID Ad-hoc profile on Vista.

Start WMWifiRouter on your phone

Connect to this SSID on your Vista

This typically does not connect the laptop to the phone.

The trick here is to go back to your phone and stop the wifi interface and start it up again. This should connect the phone and the laptop and the laptop will get a dynamically assigned IP address.

Hope this helps those who have had problems connecting the laptop to the phone over WiFi. Works for me every time.

If you have bluetooth, use that instead even though WiFi seems a look cooler.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldhouseye:
Confirmed that 0.91 works on e-ten x800

Just tried out version 0.91 on e-Ten X800, on AT&T US network. It worked like a charm~! Thanks.

Configuration:

e-Ten X800

ROM: 0402 WWE

Pre-installation preparation: None (just install it and run it, it worked!)

Used installer: The Cab, with network settings (http://www.jongma.org/WMWifiRouter/WMWifiRouter.CAB)

It's awesome. I tried the 0.80 before. It did not work on X800.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lennysh:
What are you trying to duplicate? Everything you done is supposed to happen. You have to have at least one Ad-Hoc connection available in the list for this to work. To enable security, just delete all the ad-hocs except for the one you want to use, then just edit that connection. You can enable WEP which I think is good enough for your situation.... Or you can go to WPA. your choice.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lennysh:
Wrong, I would never choose bluetooth over WiFi. It's not just the "coolness" factor, WiFi is also faster than bluetooth. Especially if your device is 802.11G.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hodakaroadtoad:
I discovered the hard way that you should be careful with this, especially when downloading. My 8525 overheated and shutdown. Everything seems ok now and I hope I didn't do any lasting damage. If I use this again, I'm going to restrict my activity to browsing and email for short periods of time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marctronixx:
everything shold be safe . thats why it shutdown.. to prevent any damage. batteries do not like heat..

i have had the mogul running this app in a fringe cell area (so its pumping more power out to get a better signal) and charging and it has been pretty good under the load. the longest ive ran this was about and hour and a half. it was connected to a laptop and a ipod touch.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Have you tried the to install the code certificate CAB and then installing the software? It seems you device is application locked.

This

should

have been fixed quite some time ago. Seems there is yet another factor weighing in on this. Something is known for some people to keep the connection up when it behaves like this is doing a "ping 192.168.0.1 -t" (endless ping) on your PC/laptop and letting that run.

WPA is NOT supported for Ad-Hoc connections. I believe this is also in the FAQ.

Myeah, seems PSP doesn't work after all.

You must configure WEP both on your device in the control panel on the other device you are connecting to it. Googling for it will give you more information.

I just wanted to note, that even though security is important, it is less of an issue with WMWifiRouter than with normal networks, as your mobile device's signal is pretty weak. While with a real router people two floors and 5 apartments away can access your system, the average mobile device has much lower power and thus the network doesn't reach nearly as far.

Try installing the code certificate CAB from my site first, then try reinstalling again. You may also wish to look up how to "application unlock" your device, it may be needed.

Setting security parameters is done in your device's control panel wifi applet.

Yes, if the WiFi is not secured then everybody can join your network.

I will look into this, but I think ICS requires your cell connection.

Not yet, though I hope to have it before the v1.0 release.

ICS still requires that data connection AFAIK. I don't see how you could get this to work, but by all means try and fiddle.

Myes this is an annoying one, it happens with more people - I even had it myself for a while and then it went away again.

As you have used the no-network installer, did you add the WiFi Ad-Hoc network manually? Also, do not start ICS manually, just start WMWifiRouter, it will take care of ICS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hodakaroadtoad:
I hope so. I'm in a remote area too and had mine on the charger. I've been having apps crash more often than normal (tmail,opera, S2U2, etc.), but I'm hoping it's just coincidence.

When I picked it up, I could tell what had happened from the heat. I pulled the battery and let it cool and it's been working except for the above normal crashing. I'm hoping it's just a buggy app upgrade, but only time will tell.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] orangegator:
Yeah. I noticed my Mogul gets hot when using this, especially while charging. I keep it on a marble windowsill. This acts as a heatsink and keeps it cool.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] krispaintballz:
I am having problems. Ever since i have been using the wifi router, I cannot connect to my wifi and home. What is the problem? My interent at home works fine but just cannot pick it up using the wifi on the phone. It shows up then asks for key, type it in, Then it says cannot connect. Why? please help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marctronixx:
ummm what phone/carrier are you using? what version of wmwifirouter are you using? and dont say "the latest one".. look in it and see what verison....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] krispaintballz:
It is a verizon xv6800 and version .91 that would be the latest? But i know it is .91 version. I also been having troiuble with messaging. Is there an app out there that lets me sent sound, video , and pictures in a message. My problem is that i cant get the mms working. I can recive the picture but then it wont download the picture. Please help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] texas83:
The only version I can get to install correctly is either the no-network or the .exe file just transferred over to my phone directly. I did not turn on ICS this time, and it still wouldn't get past the WLAN is ON! screen.

I have no idea how to create an ad-hoc network on my phone or computer either. Any help? I WANT THIS TO WORK SOOOOO BAD. It would make my life a ziiillllion times easier. Anyone wanna help me out?

Get this working with psp

Hi

I still cannot get this to work with my psp. Is this a wmwifirouter thing that can be sorted or is it something that DAX will have to look at?

Just so that I know where to look and who to ask. Would be such a cool feature.

Thanks guys for your efforts in making this software. Great now, will be brilliant if I can use remote play via my phone!

Suggestion

Hi Chainfire ,

Would it be possible to allow only a certain amount on ip’s or connections to be connected to the wifi? Maybe you can allow only a certain amount of ip’s to be allocated via the DHCP allocator.

Lets say for instance when I am at home I use 2 computers, I can then limit the ip’s to be allocated to 192.168.0.2; 192.168.0.3 for both my computers and then when away from home I can limit it only to one connection for my laptop. Limiting it to only the amount of pc’s you want to be connected would reduce the need for wep.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marctronixx:

WMWIFIRouter and PSP

I understand that it has been reported as not working with the PSP but I am not content to just accept that and give up. There has to be a reason why the PSP won't find or connect to the WMWifiRouter connection but other devices do. I have WMWifiRouter working on my T-Mobile Wing with the PDAViet TouchFlo rom and can connect my Dash to WMWifiRouter without problems. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marctronixx:
well start hacking. this thread is not about hacking into the psp. there are a few forums out there that address hacking into the psp and chain posted a link to one of them.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jejagua:
If I were to guess, most likely this is due to a limitation of the PSP's ad-hoc WiFi functionality. It's intended for PSP's to communicate to one-another, therefore it could be limited.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marctronixx:
thats exactly it. its not intended to talk to non psp's. im SURE it can be hacked to do so but this is just not the thread to do it in... :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrekim:
PSP and DS ad-hoc issues

I think the simple fact of the matter is that the PSP and the DS (and I believe the Wii as well) don't support Ad-Hoc networks. While people have attempted to work around that using Windows ICS, these consoles were made to connect to Access Points and Access Points only, either through software driver or hardware design.

However, certain wi-fi chipsets (broadcom, for example) do have the ability to become "Soft AP"; that is, to emulate a AP through a driver setting. It's been confirmed to work and I believe that the Nintendo USB Wifi connector is designed for this purpose, but I'm not aware if this feature is available in mobile handsets.

Maybe someone with more knowledge of the wifi chipset drivers can shed some light into this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikiresty:
I have a problem after uninstalling.

I uninstalled wmwifirouter while it is CONNECTED. Not only running, as suggested, but connected

So, I'm unable to connect to any wi fi network becouse the settings on the registry are that used by wmwifirouter.

Anyone can help me to solve this issue? I re-installed wmwifirouter, so I think that I lost even the backup..is it right?

HEEEELPPP!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marctronixx:
what phone are you using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nishababe:
HTC Shadow

Does anyone know how to get the WMwifirouter to work with the Shadow? I was able to install the one(WMwifirouter) without the network. But not the one with the network included. Also, the router says that it's connected to the available network that's on my device. But when I check my wifi settings it still says "connecting". Help please! What IP addresses should I be using on my network?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarkStonton:
I really don't understand networking in any kind of detail and particularly the software side and have had a few discussions with Chainfire re: Infrastructure vs ad-hoc networks and reasons I could believe the DHCP allocator would not generally be enabled in infrastructure mode because it could screw up existing networks, etc. As a result of the last discussion I looked up the definition of an infrastructure network and it was something along the lines of "a network which includes one or more access points". This means that an access point need not necessarily contain a DHCP server (or allocator) if there is one but I wonder if it also means that a DHCP allocator doesn't also have to be in the access point.

This is all wild speculation from someone who doesn't know (me) which someone else may be able to confirm as possible/not possible but could it be possible to turn on the DHCP allocator in infrastructure mode without needing to be the access point as such or are the 2 linked somehow (in Microsoft's setup or otherwise)?

I have my phone with wmwifirouter set up with a further router which thinks it is an access point via an ethernet port but all clients point to the phone (which is also a client of the external router) as the gateway to the internet. Everything is set up for infrastructure with full security but the DHCP is not handled by the phone. (There is a disadvantage that the path from any device to the internet is device-router then router-phone, 2 hops on the same network, and of course it's a 2 box solution where it would be really fantastic if only the phone were needed!)

I don't have any idea at all about where the split between software and hardware comes into the equation (i.e. hardware is fixed, software may be fixed by Microsoft even though in theory it can do 'anything').

Assuming this could work, the remaining difficulty would be in constraining the phone and wmwifirouter software to use the correct infrastructure network rather than just any one of potentially many which are configured.

As I said .... I'm just speculating and theorizing can anyone else shed any light on the possibilities?

Cheers, Mark

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dasilva333:
this is a bit off topic maybe but can wmwifirouter or any program for the pocketpc do what i am about to propose; might actually be pretty useful too.

Okay the easiest way to explain it would be through a diagram shown below:

it would be like a tether to a cellular network but to a wifi network instead. A usb wifi aircard modem if you will

Help!!

Hi folks,

I've installed WMWifiRouter v0.91 (well I installed a couple of the earlier versions too!).

I can get WMWifiRouter to work fine, and it works very well. Great job Chainfire.

However, when I exit the application and try to connect to my home wifi, it wont connect at all.

The home network is a 802.11g network, ssid broadcast turned off, WPA2 secured. My phone is the T-Mobile MDA Vario III (TyTN II) running standard ROM.

What I am seeing is:

To get WMWiFiRouter working, I need to tell the wifi settings on the handset to use "adhoc connections only". I believe that this a known issue.

To then try to connect back to my home network, in the network settings, the WMWifiRouter adhoc connection still says "connecting". If I then change it to "use access points only". My home network isnt trying to connect. I then select it and choose connect. It sits there for a while saying connecting. Then times out. However when it times out, it also deletes the entry from the list of networks!

Anyone able to help or assist, as Id really love to be able to use WMWifiRouter, but for the past two or three versions i have had to remove it to be able to use my home wifi connection.

Cheers

WTFH
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nishababe:
Were you able to download the version with the network or the one without it? I am having trouble setting up my IP settings on mine. I was only able to install the one without the network. HELP! :eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rmancl:
:confused:I don't see the usefulness of this. you can get a wifi adapter for your computer for about $10. Outside of it being a cool thing to do, it seems a little overkill.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] orangegator:
I was thinking the same thing. Seems useless. Still gotta carry either a usb cord or wifi adapter. Plus, if you're using a laptop, most have built in wifi.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6ber6:
However, if the laptop is connected to the network through a cable and thus provides the access ot the Internet, then it should be nice (and usefull) if the phone may act as a Wireless Access Point using WMWifiRouter.

For example, during a meeting, we may have a unique wire for connecting to the Internet. If we have no portable wireless access point, the phone will replace it.

What do you think about that scenario?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MeanderingCode:
It would be easier by far (and not eat your phone's battery) to use built-in or pcmcia/usb wireless on you laptop to share your wired internet connection. I don't know what platform you're running, but this is not difficult on linux, windows, or mac. This isn't the forum for those things, but a google search something to the effect of "[your OS name] wireless share internet connection". This is often called "bridging", if that helps your search.

EDIT: Just remembered that plugging your phone in via USB will trickle charge it...bluetooth connection would eat even more battery. The rest of what i said still holds true, however, including ease of use/setup.

Works on T-Mobile Shadow!

So...I finally got it to work with my t-mobile shadow.I just had to make sure that my computer could see the network that I created. All you have to do is create a network on your mobile device (if one hasn't been created for you), start the router, then locate that network in your computer's "available networks". Then just click "connect" on the computer. You will then see the ring around the wifi symbol go solid. But it won't go solid until you connect to the network through the computer as well. Good luck!:)

Ubuntu Issues

I was having issues trouble shooting WMWifiRouter and Ubuntu.

I couldn't pin down if it was Ubuntu or WMWifiRouter which was having the problem connecting.. I could see the Ad-Hoc network in Ubuntu when i would try to connect it would just hang. I played with all the settings in WMWifiRouter to no avail.

Turns out it was my wireless driver.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc

I had to revert back to Ndiswrapper.. But it worked!!! Those having Linux issues check the driver.. I didn't have a windows box with wireless to check.. So took me longer hopefully this might save you some time!

Hi, I was lucky one to be able to download this great application few days ago. I think it is great application, but I cannot make my laptop connect to it :confused:. I run application on Eten Glowfish X500+, it is WM6 based PDA phone that has WiFi and blue tooth and Edge data connection speed. I have ATT Edge unlimited data plan. I followed install instructions down to the letter. I installed application and tried to run it with the following configuration: Auto start - unchecked, Auto quit - checked, Auto reconnect - check, Unattended mode - check, Use DHCP Allocator - tried it checked and unchecked. Application was not getting connected - it was always stoped on the screen/message - "Connected, WLAN is ON! Waiting for ICS..."
