The 'official' release won't be, I can tell you that right now. But the semi-public beta version will...

It's up to marketing I'm afraid. I can imagine it is annoying that you've known about it for so long, and I'm sorry to say the originally planned release for the semi-public beta was quite a while ago already.

Had some setbacks in development that took up an insane amount of time to fix, and no doubt the semi-public beta will have more of those surface. Complete rewrites tend to have that problem ;) The whole Treo800w situation didn't help much either, it's a strange beast and took quite some effort to get to work (this is also the biggest reason it is not ported to the pre-1.20 branch, it's not a quick fix).

The beta testers mostly agree it's rock-stable right now though. Rest assured though, the semi-public beta is close, and we do have a set date for the 'real' release which we will not deviate from for pretty much any reason.

When all is done, there will be a much better base for the features we plan to introduce after 1.20 is out. In essence, the 1.20 release is pretty much the foundation we will be building on, so then we can really get cracking!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I have just redownloaded both the EXE and CAB installers and tried them both. Both are 1.10, maybe you need to clear your browser's cache?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] golympio:
Thanks Chainfire that's good to know! Myself I'm quite happy with 1.10 right now, it does what I want it to do and so far (45 min) pretty stable.

I guess some more options for sharing the connection by BT and USB or IR would be welcome, though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
What do you mean? Both BT and USB sharing are supported in 1.2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] golympio:
I didn't know it was included in the upcoming beta, but that's great news!

I do Internet Sharing via BT and USB with the Windows "Internet Sharing" app, it will be great to have all under one only software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paul in Maryland:
I've resisted the urge to load anything older than 1.2. Big mistake: Two days ago, I was at a client's office--a nonprofit. I had my laptop and needed to bring up an attachment in my online gmail, but the office wasn't set up for WiFi and it would have been too much hassle to locate an Ethernet cable and wire me up. If I had only loaded an earlier version of WMWiFiRouter, I could have saved the day and impressed my clients. Arggghh!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris44gw:
"All versions of the trial software will expire on September 3, 2008"

I read that on the site. Any hope that's because the public beta is coming out then? My 800w wanted me to ask.

I'm trying to use this application on my Touch Cruise but for some reason i get an "Fatal Error" message. I have no clue why this is happening. Does anybody now how i can get this to work because it looks just what i need.

i did some searching but i didn't find anything

so please help me with this problem or tell me an alternative software that does the same thing

Edit/Delete Message
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] golympio:
Have you tried deleting the "WMWifiRouter" network in the Wifi manager after uninstalling the program?

Also make sure that you are back to your original settings (IP adresses and so on) for all the network cards.

If it doesn't work, you can also try Walking Hot Spot, or ICS Control (freeware).

WMWifiRouter is the most simple to use for the moment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris44gw:
So if I buy it now, even though it won't work on my 800w, I can get the beta which will when you release it in the next few days? I just want to make sure since I know I can't use it until the v1.2 on the 800w. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris44gw:
Just wanted to let you know I'm up and running and VERY happy

I get this same issue.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fabdelkader:
Chainfire, if I pay for wmwifirouter now, even though it does not work on my 800w, would i be able to download the final version 1.20 for free?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
The FATAL ERROR ??? is a persistent little bug that we cant reproduce and is hence difficult to find and fix. Hopefully we'll release an update before the end of the week (no promises, though) that will fix it once and for all.

@fabdelkader

1.20 is a free upgrade for all paying customers. That being said, we have gotten word from several 800w users that it works, but we cannot guarantee it will work on your specific device. 1.20 is a BETA, after all.

Note that the 1.20 beta requires some special instructions to get. They were in our last newsletter. If you do go through with purchasing to get access to it (which I would recommend against) and you have not received our last newsletter, PM me and I can get you the instructions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fabdelkader:
Chainfire- I purchased the beta and it works, however it is rediculously slow.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Post that stuff with an elaboration on the WMWifiRouter forum... this is not the place to discuss the beta.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fabdelkader:
My bad- it was my phone anyway. same thing with pdanet. thanks

Freeze after use (1.10)

I'm running a fully licensed copy of 1.10 and am having a consistant problem with it on my PPC 6800 & WM6 on Alltel Rev A. The program seems to work very well for a short period of time (say 4 or 5 minutes), but after that time the internet connection craps out. The phone still thinks it is connected, however, as does ICS. If I attempt to "disconnect" via WMWIFIROUTER or if I attempt to disconnect and then reconnect via ICS, WMWIFIROUTER hangs at "rebinding WLAN". This occured with version 1.08 as well and with WEP on and WEP off. Only solution is to shut the program down (the system runs VERY slowly while I do this), restart it, do crash cleanup, then soft reset.

These problems seem to occur with bursts of heavy downloading. That is, if I attempt to download a large file, it will freeze up a few minutes into it. I'm wondering if it's a heat issue, as it seems like (I haven't kept a log or anything) it occurs less frequently when I remove the battery cover, open the keyboard slider, and place the phone battery up on a surface. I can't think of anything else to do to troubleshoot.

I don't have this problem at all with USB tethering; I've had it downloading 1 gigabyte files that took four hours of flat out maxed bandwidth several times now without interruption. Bluetooth also works, but I'd rather not use it as bluetooth is actually a bandwidth bottleneck on Rev A.

Honestly, this program is the bees knees, but if it can't hold a connection I probably can't use it; I'm a storm chaser and I can't have my radar crapping out on us all the time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mvtl9902:
I'm trying the 1.10 trial release and I've got an issue with my handsfree bluetooth device.

Each time I connect WMWifirouter, my bluetooth device losts the connection. I have the same issue with my A2DP blustooth device.

What's wrong ?

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] golympio:
Well, I'm not the developper of this software, but as I understand it, it goes automatically through all the steps you'd have to do manually using things like freeware ICS Control, the Internet Sharing application, and the registry editor to set up your Wifi connection. Doing that, it sets up all your network connections, one of which is the bluetooth network profile.

That's why you lose the headset connection.

Maybe in the next version it can be fixed... :)

WMWiFiRouter 1.10

I have a quick question. I have installed MWMWiFiRouter 1.10 on my HTC 6800. All works fine except I cannot connect to https sites. I tried connecting through my ISP and get connected fine. I also tried IE on my mobile device and connected just fine through the WiFi connection to my ISP. Now the fun part. I try IE on my mobile device through my Internet connection on my phone and all I get is LOCATING. Anyway, it seems the https connection is being blocked by Alltel. I have not talked to them yet. You guys are a lot smarter and I thought I would begin with you. Is there anyway around this or am I stuck? Thanks

Has always worked on my Dash

Almost every version for the last 6 months or so has worked on my t-mobile Dash. I don't remember the first time I tried it, but it was way before version 1.0.

Anyway... it is a pita sometimes, and 1/2 of what i do is a shamanistic dance, probably, but...

First I open WmWifi Router

Then I click Connect.

Then I go to "comm manager" and select my Wifi

there, i click on my accesspoint (wmwifirouter) and run through it

I change "network type" to Internet... (it always says work)

make sure, ad-hoc is selected, authentication, open.

(i suspect i don't need to do the following..."

THEN I go into "wifi setting".. change network to access to "all availible"

network notification on

turn off wifi in never.

THEN... contrary to what is intuitive to me... the little wifi icon on the top, while it has little dots next to it... it doesn't do the "circle" thing until there is a connection TO it... it doesn't (what i would expect) show a "circle" when IT is connected...

Finally... lol...

This has worked 100% of the time on my Windows XP machine.

This works 100% of the time on my Dell Linux (Fedora 9 build)

This works 30% of the time on my OLPC ... (partially user error i suspect..)

... as in... first i use their network thing to click on my access point

... then i iwconfig and set the essid

... then i ifconfig

... THEN, lol I go back to their network thing and click connect

... THEN I ping out and it works!!!

... their network thing never shows it as connected even though it is...

It has NEVER worked on my Asus Eee PC, which is running eeedora and NOT their system. The whole iwconfig ifconfig mystical dance doesn't work... and it appears that I cannot set it's mode to "ad-hoc" or "adhoc" or "AdHoc" or any other combo i tried, it gives me a setting error. EVEN when I try using Network manager first, it seems to never set the essid or the mode to ad-hoc.

I was googling on how to make this work with my EeePc and found the "Dash doesn't work" comments... and wanted to add my .02 ... i just hope some of this makes sense and isn't all mumbo-jumbo...

... a very dangerous user. ;)

Is there no changelog anywhere for this app? I've checked here and all over the website and I can't find anything. It sure would be nice to see one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
1.20 has been completely rebuilt from the ground up, so we cannot provide a changelog between it and older versions.

Changelogs will be available in the future.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stpete111:
Ok, thanks.

Does 1.20 have any major new features that 1.11 didn't have?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
A lot of them actually, it's pretty much a completely different application.

Hi guys

Im having problems with WMWifirouter on my Samsung Omnia, it seems to work fine (loads and installs) and my laptop finds the wifi and locks on, but i cant surf internet on my laptop! I can surf via internet sharing (bluetooth or by usb cable)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] illi:
I tested this new v1.20 and was able to connect my eeePC flawlessly. The reported speed was 54Mbps! Excellent. However, what annoys me was that whenever the backlight goes off the connection is lost. I had to play with the keypad to ensure the backlight does not go off. How can I solve this problem?

The other problem is that it gets overheated too fast too soon.

Thank you

Hello

I have problem with this software.

My phone is: HTC touch p3450

the problem:

Why ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lit2fly:
I confirm this, it seems WMWifiRouter doesn't ensure the WIFI is enabled in standby mode?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
@ everyone with the standby issue

Actually it is tried to make sure the wifi stays on when the device goes into low-power mode. This doesn't seem to work for all people across all devices - something we obviously want to fix.

If you are having this problem, does it happen when you use the power button, or does the backlight go out normally after a while? (it shouldn't). Please also state the device you are using it on (somebody already noted the Omnia)

@ error message on screen

If you can reproduce this (i.e., it happens every time) I can give you a debug build which can tell us where the error came from so we may fix it. It does not show you this information by default, as it increases WMWifiRouter's size three-fold and slows it down significantly.

@ working with ICS but not with WMWifiRouter

This is also under investigation

@ all

Take note that 1.20 is

not

based on the old WMWifiRouter and thus there are some 'childhood' issues with it we try to iron out ASAP.

It is likely we will be opening up our beta forum to all users so these sort of issues can be discussed, tested and fixed easier in more detail.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ijojo:
Thanks for your replay. I'm ok for testing with a debug version. I'll give you my e-mail through PM so that you can send it to me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lit2fly:
I'm using Diamond and when I press the power button the wmwifirouter doesn't work.

The reason why I press the power button is because if I don't press it, it seems wmwifirouter prevents my machine going to the standby mode (backlight can be off but the screen is always on) in this way it's very battery consuming...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] illi:
My device is Dopod 577W/HTC Tornado with my own cooked WM6.1 ROM. The backlight goes off normally after a while.

I hope this issue can be solved soon.

Thanks for such a great software.

HTC TyTN II ATT Tilt with Windows Mobile 6.0 Charging Issue

I recently got the license from you guys but I just want to mention that there is an issue with charging while using WMWifiRouter 1.20. I have my Tilt right in front of a fan because I know that if the PDA gets hot, it will simply stop charging while using even the regular Internet sharing via usb... But since I know that, I just put my Tilt in front of a fan and it can continue online 24/7 and it will charge forever. Now... the problem is that with WMWifiRouter 1.20 it will simply stop charging after 5 minutes more or less no matter if it is in front of the fan. The tilt is very cool... no heat at all, but it stops charging after 5 minutes when running WMWifiRouter. If I close the software, it starts charging again instantly. Any ideas? thank you a lot...

FYI: Apple iPod Touch 2G no more ad-hoc

Apple's new 2nd generation iPod Touch has crippled the ability to use ad-hoc connections. 1st generation iPod Touch with 2.1 firmware still connected through WMWifiRouter.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thegob:
so the new 2nd gen ipod touches can't connect using wmwifirouter? can others confirm? i was just about to buy a touch...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
That's very strange, we've tested it on several different Diamond's here and it works beautifully. Do you have an original HTC Diamond (GSM or CDMA?), or a rebranded version? (If so, which provider?) Are you using the very latest version (the trial version on our website - input license code to make it full version).

Could you tell us what your exact timing settings are for turning off the backlight or turning the device off (automatically) ?

Same question for you :)

Strange, we always thought this was a heat-only issue. Did it stop charging even though it was cool with the old version as well ?

The oddest thing is that it starts charging again when you exit WMWifiRouter, that is really strange.

Heard of this issue before, but have never been able to reproduce it (so it's hard to treat)... We've ran HTC Kaisers (Tilt) literally for almost two months straight, on 1A chargers, routing several computer's internet connection 24/7, without a fan, becoming quite warm to the touch, without ever seeing this issue.

We'd also like to see some confirmation of this. Seems some people are having troubles with their iPod Touch and others not, while running the same firmwares. Especially interested to hear from anybody that it DOES work for them on 2nd gen iPod Touch with 2.1 (as that would put the issue somewhere else)

v0.91 not visible

I've tried to see if other have had this problem, but no luck. V0.91 of WMWiFiRouter installed fine on my Sprint WM6.1 Mogul. When I run it it configures and shows "Connected to WMWifiRouter, Ready". The WiFi switch is on. Neither a 1G iTouch or my Laptop sees any broadcasted routers - did I miss a configuration? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thegob:
I just installed 1.20 on to my HTC Sprint Mogul (WM 6.1). After setting up the ad-hoc network, I can't seem to connect to the data connection on my laptop (Win XP Pro SP3). I am able to successfully connect to the network but no default gateway.

On my laptop, I set the settings to static ip:

IP address 192.168.2.10

subnet mask 255.255.255.0

default gateway 192.168.2.1

I do have one question: is it possible to use this sotfware for ....how could i call it.... so what i mean is,taking the normal wired internet,connecting the PDA with the USB cable to the PC and turn that internet connection through the PDA available for laptops?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Try Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Wireless LAN -> Power Mode -> Best Performance . (note that 0.91 is not supported)

For static IP, you probably want to use .3. instead of .2. , as that is the default setting in WMWifiRouter. I'd recommend setting it to DHCP and checking out the following article, though:

http://support.wmwifirouter.com/knowledge/KB0809023/

Yes, that is possible, though tricky to set up... It'll be in the new documentation how to set this up soon, however those doc's are not ready yet (ETA, +- a week)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zagonielod:
I put 5 euros in it if you can do that ;) not much but as a show of my appreciation for your work.

one more question: will the newer 3.03 version be available soon?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
3.03 ?

Latest out is 1.20.551 ... With 1.21.xxx probably some time over the next two weeks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zagonielod:
damn! you're right :P i just checked it. i don't know where did i see that 3.03:D

ok so 5 euros when i will be able to transform wired to wireless :rolleyes:

Thanks Chainfire. I had actually changed it from the default to .2 so I used those settings. I actually got it to work on my laptop using no security/WEP and the speeds were really fast.

Two issues arose from there:

1. Upon setting a WEP pw, connecting from computer to wifi signal was successful but there was no data going through. Any suggestions?

2. Testing the open signal on two 3g iphones, the phones connected but no data passed through. Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] idk:
I just used the trial version of 1.20 and it is way better than the 0.91 that I was using before. I intend to buy the licensing, but the question I have is how does the licensing work with new updates coming up? I see a new version comes along about once a month and not sure how that'll affect the licensing. Would I have to stick with the version that I bought the license for? Or would I get free licensing for the next versions? Or something in the middle?
