Is anyone else currently using wifirouter with the Touch Pro on the TELUS network? I was using the HTC p4000 originally, and it would not connect (error message saying no ICS), so I installed ICS and it worked great.

I had upgraded the p4000 from the TELUS rom to a cooked WM6.0/6.1 rom, and WMWIFIrouter worked great, out of the box. Even version 1.20/1.25 worked, no problems. I am running Windows Vista.

I just bought the TELUS HTC Touch Pro, and while it connects to the network, the laptop just says limited connectivity, and will not get internet connection. I am using the 1.25 registered version of WMwifirouter.

I installed ICS cab on the touch pro. No luck.

I did the knowledge base article about DHCP with windows. No luck.

I tried to connect a different Vista laptop (don't have XP). No luck

I swapped back to my p4000, to try again. Works.

I tried connecting through USB or Bluetooth. No luck.

I tried assigning a static IP to the laptop. No luck.

I have tried connecting w/o WEP. No luck.

I have tried adjusting the power of the wifi to 'best performance. No luck.

I have tried new ad-hoc network names. No luck.

Does anyone else have TELUS HTC Touch Pro that they can't get working, or that wasn't working and they found a way to connect to the internet? The cooked roms for TELUS still are not yet ready to use, from what I understand.

Am I missing something that is right in front of my face? It seems like TELUS has crippled this somehow.

Unable to route on Samsung i760 running WM 6.1

I am unable to route on Samsung i760 running WM 6.1 using WiFi. It works fine with the USB cable, and I haven't tried BT.

I'm able to connect my PC to the i760 through ad-hoc mode. I get an IP address on my PC and I'm even to ping the i760 from the PC. However, I can't route beyond that.

What's interesting is that DNS works, but I'm using the i760 as the proxy. Perhaps it's a NAT issue where I'm not NAT'ing properly??

Any suggestions? I've tried all these things to no avail:

Static IP

Disabling/Enabling IP Allocator

Changing some of the NAT settings

Changing some of the DMZ settings

Update: As a last effort, I uninstalled WMWifiRouter and ICS and re-installed them and now it works through WiFi! (When I originally installed the apps, I installed WMWifiRouter first before ICS. Perhaps this caused the issue??)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ctr-alt-del:
Darn...I thought I had the issue fixed, but then I started validating. It seems the issue now is every time I restart my device, ICS pukes so I return to the issue of not routing through my WM device.

When I re-install ICS, it starts working again until the next time I restart. :)

Any ideas?

Is there a way to use a print server in conjunction with wmwifirouter?

I need help here. I have a Titan running DCD 3.2.6 and Kitchen 4 Reloaded. I installed WMWifiRouter 1.25 Trial. The program was flaky so I uninstalled it. Uninstall went without a hitch, now when I switch the wifi switch the device appears to search for networks for about 1 second, then it stops. I looked in WifiFoFum and it doesn't see any APs even though I'm sitting right next to one.

Any idea what's going on? Thanks!

Anyone with a touch pro able to maintain a bluetooth handsfree connection with WMWifirouter running? I can connect to the internet just fine through wifi and maintain my headset connection. Seems to be an issue with this program or something.

Can someone confirm this?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] churka:
I'm going on a trip soon and its going to be a long car ride. I want internet on my laptop to keep me busy. I know WMWifiRouter will do the job, but will sprint charge me if I do? I want to use this program and make it free for me.

Are there registry hacks that I need to do or what? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I've read the list of what you have done, but I didn't see a hard-reset listed in there. As it seems you have tried installing ICS but not hard-resetting, try hard-resetting and then try installing ICS again. I'm not sure what is going on here, but it sounds weird nonetheless.

If you're doing this on 1.00 or later, please write to support@wmwifirouter.com with this issue (just link to your posts here and/or explain the situation shortly). We may be able to figure out what is going on, but it will require a bit of work on your part.

If both the print server and the computers using it are behind WMWifiRouter that should just work, though you may have to adjust your hosts file (Google for it if you don't know what I'm talking about) or connect through IP instead of computer/print-server name.

If you are printing over the internet, that is a lot more tricky and might not work at all. You'd have to explain your exact setup for that, though.

You are probably going to have to hard-reset (there seems to be no end of issues with the combo with DCD ROMs).

Using Bluetooth and Wifi at the same time does not work correctly on all devices. This has nothing to do with WMWifiRouter, it is due to the device and it's firmware itself.

Please also see this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2960737&postcount=1099 in response to a very similar question.

The latest WMWifiRouter employs all the known 'registry hacks' to get it all up and running. As far as we know (or been informed) nobody has ever been charged for it, however if you do not have the correct data plan you should always keep in mind that you still could be. Not having the correct data plan and using this service is most likely in violation of the Sprint TOS. Make sure WMWifiRouter is set to use "Sprint PCS" (or similar) instead of "Phone as Modem" connection if you do not have the needed tethering plan.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] julienrl:
Just a note for anyoen considering using this. It works great at doing what it is supposed to do but it everytime I install it it wreaks havock in my ppc and my ppc completely stops working within a week.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] churka:
I have a unlimited data connection plan so I think I should be good to go. If i get charged by sprint, I'm blaming it on you, loool just kidding but yeah...

And you said to make sure I'm using Sprint PCS, not Phone as Modem. Does WMWifiRouter give me that option? I haven't bought it yet, so I don't know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] idk:
When I used version 0.91 I would regularly hit 100k speeds when downloading. Now my top speeds are in the mid 30s. Is there a reason for that? Might be some registry tweaks? I have the latest Sprint ROM.

BTW, I highly recommend anyone that is thinking of getting WMWifiRouter to get it. I have saved so much money using this than pay for hotel internet when vacationing, or out for business. I even use it to shop online outside of stores just so that I can use online coupons and then pick them up a few mins later. It paid for itself many times over.

OpenVPN on a WMWiFiRouter connection

Let's try to explain:

WMWiFiRouter works fine and I can connect my PC o an Internet connection that has limitations: you have to use a proxy that limits your connection capabilities (proider's proxy).

Installed and tested a VPN Server (OpenVPN) on a PC that has a flat (not limited) internet connection.

Tested the VPN Connection from a Client (also from Windows Mobile client) everything is ok.

Using OpenVPN client on Windows Mobile I cann connect using the LIMITED network connection, tunneling using VPN, "going HOME" and using the lat full-capabilities Internet connection. This gives me an internet connection on Windows Mobile WITHOUT limitations (works a bit slowly due to encryption).

NOW THE PROBLEM:

I can connect my LAPTOP to WMWiFiRouter and correctly use the LIMITED network.

Then I try to run OpenVPN client on my LAPTOP, it connects to the VPN Server correctly and a new "LAN" connection is established. At this point My PC has a Wireless connection to Internet (LIMITED) and a LAN connection to Internet (VPN tunnel).

THE QUESTION:

I don't know how to tell to my LAPTOP that should use he "LAN" tunneled connection and NOT the limited one.

(sorry for my bad english)

Hi guys,

Just wondering if the HTTP proxy feature is still on the cards?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aleosha:
Have a PC (WinXP) connected to the Internet, Qtek S200 and notebook (Vista).

Using WMWiFiRouter 1.25. The device is connected with USB to the PC and has Internet. When I enable USB to WiFi in WMRouter, it first says WiFi:"network name", then, when my notebook connects to newly found router, it turn on to be "WiFi: Searching...".

Notebook says that the connection is "Local only" and I can't access the Internet. The device still can though.

I have ICS installed, go it from one of the first posts in this topic.

usb to wifi

i have somehow the same problem. tried to connect PDA to desktop PC and through PDA-wmwifirouter to use my laptop. but it's still impossible.

the problems i have met:1. it shows the created wifi network,but where it should write:USB: connected, it writes: waiting for connection.

2. if it would happen to connect to the usb,the next problem is with the IP address ?...... all is set to automatic. so it shouldn't be a problem.

so it's not working sofar..... and i bought the app for this function
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Yes the configuration wizard asks you which one to use. Of course, if you have the unlimited "Phone as Modem" plan (very few people do), it may be beneficial to use that instead of Spriny PCS (it may give you extra speed or whatnot, who knows?)

Over the months I think I've seen about 4 people saying this, alas, we have not yet uncovered anything this could be related to, nor are we able to reproduce it on any of our own devices (all GSM, though). I think I recall everyone having this issue being with Sprint though (none of our Sprint-using beta testers have this issue either).

I'm not quite sure about this one. In my own experience VPN's are automatically tried first. If this doesn't work for you, I think you may need to adjust the routing table on your laptop manually, which is a hard task for even many "tweakers". If you can connect them both, do a "route print" from the command line and e-mail support with that data, they may be able to help you with that, but no promises.

We're looking at this one at the moment (well of course right now is holiday time, but...) as Samsung has been so kind to send us some devices to test on (but they arrived pretty much on the day the holidays started). Seems to work fine for a lot of people with Omnia, but not for others. Hope the devices we got have this issue so we can replicate it - and fix it. Stay tuned.

I usually don't respond to support requests over PM as that's not my responsibility any more - added that it's vacation time for me. I look into this topic every few days to try and answer questions, but if you want real support, email to support@wmwifirouter.com or use the contact form on the site. That being said, there's a knowledgebase article about this as well as an entry in the manual. Both can be found at http://support.wmwifirouter.com/.

Yes, it is. Actually HTTP, HTTPS, Socks4/5, and new DNS proxies as well as WAPD are pretty much ready (including ad-blocking and whatnot), and will hopefully be in the update we expect to release late January / early February. I'm saying hopefully as there are still a few issues that need to be fixed. If you need the HTTP proxy for something specifically, let me know, perhaps it does not depend on any of the things that still need wrapping up and we can 'silently' include it.

See my reply above to zagonielod.

This method of sharing is kind of tricky to get working, which is why there is a knowledgebase and manual entry about it. We hope to get ActiveSync->Wifi sharing working soon, which will make those manual steps unnecessary if you have ActiveSync operational. It's on the to-do list, but I can't promise anything as to when.

Can't connect using a Thinkpad

I have a thinkpad and use its thinkvantage access connections software to manage my wireless connections. When I try to connect to the wireless network created by my phone, I get the following message "DHCP IP configuration is not supported for adhoc connection, use static IP configuration. I used the settings above and was unable to connect. On the phone, under configuration i noticed that the IP range was 192.168.2.x , I changed that to 192.168.0.x so it would match the settings above. I still was unable to connect. Can you please help me? Thanks.

Interaction issues between wmwifirouter 1.25 build 600 & SPB Wireless Monitor 3.0.1

setup:

HTC Touch Cruise

WM 6.0

SPB Wireless Monitor 3.0.1

wmwifirouter 1.25 build 600

I have been trialling wmwifrouter 3G/HSDPA to WiFi and works OK, but everyday I got 1 or 2 freezes that costs me a lot to come back live my PDA (if need, I can detail the issues…). Several times I almost have to hard rest my PDA, but fortunately I was able to disable wifi and phone with the built commanager follow by the fully deinstall using a register program and reinstall gain from scratch the wmwifirouter.

After many tests, I believe I found out the reason, the wmwifrouter have problems when the SPB Wireless Monitor is turn ON monitoring the traffic.

Chainfire, could you please comment or help?

Thanks in advance.

Today without the SPB Wireless Monitor ON, my PDA froze again. This time, may be was due to that I started the wmwifirouter with the cellular data already connected...

PDANet isn't freeware though. And ICS is cool but still has the same issue of PDANet. It's connected by wire. I like having the ability to roam around and still be connected. Also you can have multiple people connected at the same time with WMWifiRouter. I bought the latest version of WMWifiRouter and have never regretted it. It was well worth the money and it's great knowing that it's still actively being updated.

cannot remove trial WMWifirouter from Sprint Mogul

Hi:

I installed trial version (0.89) of WMWifirouter on my Sprint Mogul (HTC PPC6800) running on wm6.1. I installed it while the WiFi on my phone was turned on as the instructions on the download site said. The program did turn on but could not connect to my labtop. It would instead connect to other WiFi's that were available in my place of work.

It was missing up with the normal WiFi capabality of my phone since I could not connect to free WiFi's anymore. One of the items in the list of available WiFi networks was either hpsetup (probably referring to my laptop) or WMWifirouter while the program was installed. Therefore, I decided to remove it (my WiFi was un as the uninstall instructions on the download website said) but the uninstallation message said cannot uninstall it.

Unistallation removed some of the program but not all of it since in the list of available WiFi networks, I sometimes have hpsetup or WMWifirouter listed. I cannot permanently remove them from the list of my available WiFi networks. Therefore, when I go to places with free WiFi, my phone no longer connects to WiFi properly: It says that WiFi is connected to the desired network, but when I try to open a webpage, it keeps saying something like cannot locate the page.

I tried to re-install the program, but a warning comes on and says previous version cannot be removed and asks me whether I still want to process. When I permit it to proceed, it says installation unsucceful. So now I cannot install or uninstall it. Does anyone know how I can manually remove the program in its entirety from my phone?

Thank you.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
@all

Sorry folks it seems I unsubscribed from this topic by accident. I was wondering why there were no more replies (doh).

Keep in mind that support goes through support @ wmwifirouter.com !

I'm not quite sure what I should do with this, I'll try and have a go at SPB Wireless Monitor, see if that gets us anywhere. However it is quite likely we can't resolve the conflict from the WMWifiRouter side (its most likely a "bug" in SPB Wireless Monitor, though too soon to say. I say "bug" cause WMWifiRouter does some fairly rigorous handling of wifi, which several other wifi programs are not prepared to handle as it doesn't normally happen, before looking at it in-depth I assume this is the case).

Try setting Start -> Settings -> Connection -> Wireless LAN -> Power Mode to "Best Performance". If WMWifiRouter does not show up at all its usually a power issue. You may also need to set your wireless network on the computer to be able to see ad-hoc networks (should be default, though). Could also be a crappy wifi card, though!

Just FYI, an 'ad-hoc' network is just a type of wifi network. Access points use 'infrastructure' mode, while 'ad-hoc' mode is generally used to connect devices with eachother when a true access point is not available.

Yes. The Fuze is just a rebranded HTC Touch Pro and several of our users are using it on a Fuze.

That's good info to have, thanks. Added to the website.

In Samsung devices this setting is usually located under Start -> Settings -> System -> Battery (or Power) -> Wi-Fi (tab) .

It doesn't seem to make a whole lot of difference on Samsung devices though, but the ones we have here connect well.

There is a good reason those versions are not allowed to be spread, and though some like to think it's just because they're free, it's primarily because of issues like these. There is no known work-around to un/reinstall version 0.8 - 0.91 if it fails to uninstall, other than issueing a hard-reset.

Most newer phones automatically disable charging when the battery temperature goes up. If you turn off WMWifiRouter (or soft-reset) this temperature will rapidly drop again, allowing charging to start again. AFAIK, the cut-off temperature for charing is 48C for most devices. There is no known work-around - and there shouldn't be, as this protects your phone from overheating. However, make sure you turn off the screen while running WMWifiRouter by pressing the power button. This can make as much as a 50% difference in power consumption and thus, heat generation.
