I had a lot of trouble getting this to work on my touch. It was behaving as if it had the DNS problem so I put in the open DNS IP as the DNS setting in my touch but this did not work. I then reset the wifi security and then it worked. It now works with my touch and has worked with several iphones.

The ip settings I am using are

static

192.168.0.52 IP

255.255.255.0 subnet

192.168.0.1 router

208.67.222.222 dns

but since fiddling any iphone (well 3) have been able to connect (I am using 0.6)

Thanks for the help Chainfire! Will look forward to any advice!

It mentions that the PSP will fail the Test. Hmmm.

I will try and use the browser to connect then. Have tried using Remote Play to connect but not the browser so will give it a go.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwyatt6347:
Hi Chainfire, first I would like to say thanks so much for this wonderful program. I have been having a problem however with this working correctly. While browsing I will notice that the ad-hoc connection will drop and i will see in the system tray the wireless network icon trying to acquire an ip address again. This of course causes my browsing to come to a halt. Usually it will reconnect within a few seconds, but sometimes it will take longer or come back and say "limited or no connectivity". Is this normal, if not what can I can do to resolve this issue. It has actually happened once while posting this to the thread.

Edit: I have been watching it for a while and it seems to happen exactly every 5 minutes. BTW I am using an Apache from Verizon with WM6 and version 0.91 of your app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] orangegator:
Do you have the wifi power set to best performance? Is your device set to automatically check for new email messages? By any change is it set to check every 5mins? If so, then you're likely getting disconnected when it checks. You should set the time interval to longer so it checks less often or just disable it when using wifi.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deadphill:
Please make that 5. I have the same firmware on the psp and am using 0.91 on my kaiser. It works with everything else, just not my psp.

I hope that there is a fix for this soon. I would love to use remote play on the go!

Thanks

Phill
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwyatt6347:
wifi is definetely set to best performance, and this device is a spare that doesn't download any emails or even get phone calls or txt messages. i am at a loss.

TytnII

Tried everything to get this working on TytnII and Ipod Touch, nothing suggested has worked for me. Thanks for this program though (I use your tweak program for my HTC device), I would definitely donate to this if I could get it working. Wish I could find a "dummies" tutorial for this.

Works with Mogul and iPod Touch - My experience so far

I just barely started using WMWifiRouter and noticed what appears to be some issues when pairing with an iPod Touch.

When initially settings things up, I immediately aimed for WPA AES/TKPI when setting my adhoc config on the Mogul. For unknown reasons (yet), these are 'no go' when pairing with the Touch. To make sure I didn't mess something obvious, I went back to the starting case and tried a test rule with no encryption at all and it worked on first try. I then increased security a notch using Shared/Wep (if we can ever call this method 'secure' :-) and pairing with the Touch worked again, able to get on the web too.

But, I haven't been able to use WPA in any shape or form. Don't know yet if it's an issue with the Touch or with my Mogul setup. But I'd definitely prefer being able to use WPA rather than WEP, so I hope i'll be able to find clues as to how I can make it work with the Touch. Please feel free to share your findings too, i'm eager to make it work the safer way :-)

Btw, for the tests, I used static IPs, following the recommendation to disable DHCP within WMWiFiRouter. Also, I'm using DCD's 1.6.10 Kitchen with ICS cooked in.

I'll dive a bit deeper tomorrow but for this night, I'm gonna call it a quit as I need some deserved sleep.

BTW, Many thanks to Chainfire and al. for this wonderfull app! When considering regular tethering rate plans from my carrier (Telus), it makes me puke. But as i'm with the 15$ unlimited data (doesn't incl. tethering), I might be able to get the best of both worlds on the cheap using WMWiFiRouter :-) Kudos!

Sprint mogul user

so my wife just got a new laptop that has wifi. i'm kind of a hands on person and although i don't know much about wifi or network settings and such, i decided to give this a try. i read the first 5 or six pages of this thread and decided that i was ready. i remember reading to install it on my device and not the card. i chose to download the cab with network settings because since this is my first time i figured that that is the best way to go. now when i started to download it to my mogul a window popped up asking to run the program after downloading and where did i want to download the program to. now for some reason i thought the best thing to do would be download the program to my card and then unzip it (using total commander) and then move it to my device. i also unchecked the box that asked if i wanted to open the program after downloading it. well this did not work out as well as it should. when i did this, it did not actually install the program (meaning that when i went to the add and remove programs WMWifiRouter was not listed). it would start up though but when i pressed the connect button it would hang up on trying to connect to ics (it seemed to get through everything but the last step). :mad:

well, since i could not uninstall, i just deleted the program (again using total commander) and downloaded the program again. this time i left the check box checked so that the program would open after downloading. this allowed me to get to the screen that asked if i want to install on my device or card (this screen never appeared the first time i tried to install). of course i picked device and now the program appeared on my program list. i opened it and pressed connect and everything worked:D

i have no idea why this is the way it is the first time i tried, but i'm glad i got it to work. i'm now typing this out on my wife's laptop using WMWifirouter with my mogul.

ps: how important is security? it's mentioned that i should use WEP? what is this and how do i activate it? sorry for the newbe question. i'm on a windows xp service pack 2 laptop.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Actually, with wifi, security is everything if you want to keep your network for yourself. No security means that your wifi network is wide open, so if I'd be within range of your wifi network, and range can easily extend to 100+ feet distance if in a relatively clear spot, I could connect to it and connect to the web and your network resources without your conscent. Worst, if i'm a bad guy and know what i'm doing, I could gain access to confidential information transiting over your network such as username and password (i.e. with a POP3 mail account), using a technique we called in the IT jargon as "sniffing", which means I'd be able to capture everything and see pretty much all your unsecured communications in clear text. Wardrivers, as we call them, are always looking for open, unsecured wifi network. You really want to secure your network by all means.

Now, as for WEP, it's better than nothing but it really isn't the most secure mechanism as many freely available tool on the web would enable anyone to eventually break into it's security algorithm and gain access to the network (this process can take place in as fast as few minutes, depending on various conditions I won't get into).

If you can, ALWAYS use WPA (great) or WPA2 (greater), in conjuction with TKIP and preferably AES, and a very lenghty, very hard to guess key, preferably between 32-64 characters long to avoid any easy guessing. For that purpose, you may want to use a password generator tool which will help you. Then, you may also want to disable any SSID broadcast if not required, which will essentially hide your network (although it won't be truly hidden per se but I won't get too technical here).

All that being said, just keep in mind that any security is better than no security. Never use an open wifi network other than testing or troubleshooting purposes. If you can't make WPA or WPA2 work, then use WEP. Because its security mechanism can be broken doesn't mean someone if your neighborhood will try to break into your network. A way to circumvent this vulnerability would be to regurarly change your WEP key, say once a month (even better, once a week if your paranoid :-), and always use a very strong, hard to guess one.

Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] delawaresace:
ok, this all sounds good but i really have no idea what you just said. i'm sorry, but i am kind of new to wifi and don't know much about it yet. are all the security features you mentioned on my laptop or my mogul? how do i go about enabling them? will it work with my mogul-laptop setup? is there a guide out there that you can suggest so i can learn more about what i'm doing here. thanks

Totally Awesome!!!

This is the best thing ever invented!!! I tethered for a while with wm5 and Verizon, but after a hardware change (my trackpoint on my 6700 failed), I could no longer tether. I know it is unsupported technically, but it annoyed me. THIS IS THE HOLY GRAIL. I was a bit apprehensive about upgrading to wm6 since I couldn't get it to work with wm5, but BOY WAS IT WORTH IT and the wm6 kitchen from Helmi and crew is TOTALLY AWESOME, too and now my 6700 SCREAMZ It's like I bought the 6800 but, but better...FREE!!! (until I donate to both you guys shortly) HOW COOL IS THAT, A SCREAMING WM6 WIFI ROUTER out of a 6700 wm5 Verizon snail.

WiFi Security Question

Hi,

Well I installed ver .91 and all seems to work but I have a question about the wi fi security. I don't see any menu option on how to turn on wep or wpa on wifirouter. Maybe I am missing something but if I run it as an unsecure wifi can't the guy accross or in the next room jump on my connection for a free ride?

I update to the lastest WM6ROM 5.2.1938.18538 and try the 0.91 version, all work fine!!well done!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] abbiecd:
Chainfire,

My bad on asking for ICS range requests, I should have read through your entire 0.91 update.

For #1, I was referring to the actual Cellular antenna being active. Since I am no longer with my previous cell provider, I don't turn on the antenna on my WM phone, except WMWifiRouter requires that it be turned on in order to detect DUN connections. Once I turn on the cell antenna, WMWifiRouter finds the dial-up (via a bluetooth connection) on my new (data+voice) phone. As for the reason why I use this elaborate setup, I haven't found a home-grade wifi router that has bluetooth built-in to allow it's WAN connection through a bluetooth DUN device. Enter WMWifiRouter which is the "glue" that holds my setup together.

For #2, I should have clarified as a start/stop button, not just stop. For the time being I bound one of the shell keys (Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C2) to the application. Binding a key helps with quick start up even after I've closed WMWifiRouter to regain use of my new (data+voice) phone and not crash WMWifiRouter when the DUN connection fails.

A special thanks for your time and energy invested in this project!

iPod touch & tytnII

is there any noob guide to wm6 and iPod touch setup anywehere, dhcp,bootP,static? I've tried every possible combo I could come up with and no joy. This has to be the best app for wm! Thanks for any steering me in the right direction, I've spent hours/days trying to set this up. I realize this is under heavy development but I done know where to start. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marctronixx:
what do you mean heavy development? the app is rock solid!

you do not need to setup anything, there is a version that sets up everything for you or there is a version that does not setup everything for you. ive been using this app since .01 and im currtnely at v.81 which has been fine for me.

what phone/device are you using? i have a sprint mogul 68 and ipod touch 16gb and the two dance very well together...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sfld:
In the old previous versions... i had to do a registry edit for the 67 error for sprint users. Does the new app auto install this registry entry?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marctronixx:

yes the newer versions will disable the 67 error for you. this was fixed quite a few versions ago.. ;-)

TytnII - Ipod Touch - WMWifiRouter v0.91

Hi marctronixx, well I know really know what I mean, I just read that on the WMWifiRouter site. I'm trying to use the version that sets everything up for you, between a HTC TytnII and 16gb Ipod Touch, your setup sounds very similar so I'm not sure why I can't get it to connect.

I'll keep stabbing away, thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marctronixx:
well yeah i think both phones are similiar atleast in terms of this program, so lets see if i can help

first off, are you using the version that sets up everything for you? if so, you should see the name of your wifi adhoc connection on the ipod. do you see that? if so, go into it and see what IP address you are getting.

i am using a version that the end user has to setup. i also do not use any encryption.

tell me what error(s) you are getting if any.

Dash

I got WMWifiRouter working on my t-mobile dash last night. The trick is to have an open AP recorded on your phone. As in one you have been on, but is currently not available. So it is saved in your AP list. Then start WMWifiRouter, it will assume the SSID of that AP and will work, I am currently using my iPod touch while driving to and from work using WMWifiRouter.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vdavide:
I can confirm wmwifirouter working on my HTC S730 , installed via activesync , NONET version , NET version does not install :( , it give me an error . After installation you need to setup a network connection manually .

Hi again marctronixx, thanks much for the reply and help. I finnaly got it to work! Had to set the connection on the phone to "Computer to Computer (Ad-Hoc) connections only, then success. This information is on the very first page here and I just never bothered to try this setting. Anyway worth the days of trying, this is imo the most valuble WM app out there.

Wii?

Can this be used to share WiFi? I dont have a data plan and don't plan on getting one. My problem is that my Wii won't connect to the routers my school uses, but conects fine if for example a Linksys router is plugged into the network and you connect to that. I'm thinking if I could broadcast WiFi from my TyTnII, the Wii could connect to that. Is this possible?

******please Help - I Promise To Donate!!*******

I have been trying for days to get this to work on my Sprint Motorola Q9c which already has "Internet Sharing" installed on WM6. Anyone who helps me will be HIGHLY HIGHLY appreciated as I am going nuts over this!

Here are the settings for Internet Sharing that I have set (they may be wrong):

PC Connection: USB

Network Connection: Sprint Network OR Cellular (which one do i use?)

Then I have installed WMWifirouter.CAB (no-network) version because this is the only version that will install properly. I run the program and it stays on "Starting ICS".

It will get past this screen and actually get to the point when it says "WLAN is ON!. Waiting for ICS..." but it will always freeze here. Above it it says "Not Connected" and in the top corner of the phone it says "Connection Error".

I want this to work desperately and have been trying it for hours and hours on end. Anyone want to help me out PLEASEEEEEE??? I'll donate for sure, just need to get it working first.

My email is Texas83@gmail.com or I will check back here every day. THANKS!:):confused::D

Tytn + iPod Touch, Working wifi connection sharing

This is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen in "my tech gadgets galore" :D !!!

I have a Tytn with WM6 Schap's 4.22 Rom (Date 10/03/07), Radio Version 1.43, and I tried to share my UMTS 3g connection with my Ipod Touch: 10 seconds and everythings works! 1) Installed the complete cab (with network settings) as described 2) Pressed "Connect" on my Tytn and connected to my provider 3) Opened Safari on my Touch ... and I am surfing! Who needs an Iphone! This is incredible and I will donate for sure. Thanks for this incredible added value to my already tricky and fantastic Tytn! And thanks to the people of Xda-Developers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] laserdemon:
Well, it was dumb luck I guess. At my work, there is this mystery AP named "free public wifi". It had been recorded in my list of APs for months. I found this software and enabled my wifi on the phone and installed it.

The install went perfectly, I ran it while I was at home and noticed that there was now a AP with the same name here at my house, checked the IP address and it was my phone, the range defined in WMWifiRouter.

So, I removed the "free public wifi" AP and ran WMWifiRouter again and it went to the next AP in the list. I removed all APs and WMWifiRouter stopped working, Added back a AP and it worked again.

Now I can not seem to find a way to enable security, but the only time I use it is to check traffic anyway.

Lets see if you can duplicate this, if not ill fool around some more with it.

Trouble still

Hi, I'm having trouble with the ipod and also an Imac can't log on. I'm using .87. I was able yesterday with version .85 to log on thru my winxp tablet but today it can't even see the network in its list of wifi's. The mac and ipod can see it but flash the dhcp settings, they are in the right numbers though. I tried going back to .85 but the xp machine still cant see the network!

Andy

ps I just did a crash cleanup and can now see and log onto the network with the xp machine, didn't need to re load .87. I also tried the ipod, it worked the first time I tried on static ip, failed again on dynamic and now d seems to like static again. Its getting closer now.

Wow battery drai is very high
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Ok now I'm confused: which version are you running now? Does the iPod work on static?

I will add an extra option so you can turn on/off the DHCP 'enhancements' in v0.88. That might help with the iPod issue.

And yeah, WiFi is not so nice for battery. Be sure to use the powerswitch to turn off the screen and set your WiFi performance to save power instead of best performance :)

Thank you for the tool. I know nothing about routing but manage to get my 8525 to talk to my nokia N800. As far as I know, this tool is cleaner to implement than going to cmdline N800 and set up a dummy connection.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] draghn:
I don't know why I didn't try it before, but my iPod Touch connects just fine when I configure it with a static IP using the settings you posted at the beginning of this thread.

Turning it back to DHCP starts causing the same problems mentioned before.

Somehow now it works. Somehow I think the fact that I tried while being tethered may have interfered. Also ... I was never able to see the WMWifiRouter network in the list of available networks.

thanks for any help,
