Hi

This is the app I've been looking for for months, if only I had stumbled upon this thread earlier!!!

I have an Orange SPV M700 (HTC Trinity?) and it's all fairly standard appart from some extra apps I have installed. I've installed WifiRouter and I'm trying to connect but it doesn't work :(

What's happening is it gets past starting ICS - it waits a moment at starting connection (I can see the phone is trying to establish a 3G connection) and then everything just shuts down (terminates the wi-fi, restores registry etc).

It's almost like it's not waiting long enough for the 3G connection to start before everything closes, some kind of timeout issue maybe? Has anybody else seen this before? Are there any settings I can change (Reg entry maybe) to make it wait longer before it gives up on the connection or am I barking up the wrong tree here?

Thanks

I see that we are now up to version 1.04 on the website. Are there any significant updates since 1.01 (any good reason to upgrade)? Is there a changelog somewhere?

waiting for ICS....

I installed the trial version and was under the impression that I could just install and connect basically, without much trouble. I have a mogul, and am trying to connect to my VISTA laptop. I know vista screws up everything, so maybe that is the problem.

Anyways, I have just installed, with WIFI switch on, and still on, and have run and connected. I get to...

"Connecting...

Waiting for ICS and WLAN..."

I'm not sure what that means for one, and for two, it just sits there at that point for - ev - er. I'd appreciate any help as I'm excited to use this program. Thank you.

Bo
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ectropian:
The router doesn't connect to your vista computer, is creates a channel between ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) and the Wireless LAN running through an Ad-hoc Network connection, which allows your laptop to connect TO it wirelessly, and share the internet connection that your 6800 is already using.

In otherwords... "connecting..." means that your 6800 hasn't yet established the ad-hoc connection. When you installed the software, did you allow it to create the ad-hoc network connection? If So, try a soft-reset and try again.

The "Waiting for ICS and WLAN..." means that your phone doesn't have an active data connection established yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amsatnetg:
Look here is the deal with "Connecting...Waiting for ICS and WLAN..."

You have got to make sure that you have an ad-hoc network setup on your LAPTOP or whatever Wireless connection that you are trying to connect with.

For Example: Let's say that i had wmwifi on my wizard. I would first turn on wifi on the wizard then go into the settings/wireless lan, then menu/network cards. Under the dropdown menu for networks to access I would choose ONLY COMPUTER TO COMPUTER, then I would click on search for networks if it is visible, if not click on ADD NEW... I would make a new network named AMSATNETG or whatever YOU want to name it, make sure it connects to THE INTERNET, make sure Ad-hoc sentence is checked. Then click on NEXT.

Authentication=OPEN

Data Encryption=DISABLED leave it like this until you learn to connect, then you can play.

Click on NEXT then FINISH

On your computer set up the exact same name as you did on your phone. Like I would set up my laptop to have an ad-hoc network named amsatnetg. Once you get into your wireless connections window just do the exact same thing as you did on your phone to setup the ad-hoc network. Good luck Oh yeah and GREAT PROGRAM !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vinokirk:
im running ranjus wm6. everytime I go to change the drop down box in wifi settings from accesspoints only to all available, as soon as I click ok then go back into wifi settings, it goes back to access points only!very annoying, anyone know how I can get it to stay on all available? im trying to get my ipod touch to connect thru my universal, I presume I can use this prog for that.

EDIT: I have now got it to stay on 'computer to computer only' and I've made sure it connects to the internet just like the posat above states, but my ipod still can't see the wifi network!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bosox15:
Thanks amsatnetg for the explanation. I spent a better part of an hour skimming and just should have hit last post. Oh well.

My only problem with this program is that as soon as I set everything up correctly, my Trial ended and I never got to connect. All in the matter of two hours??? Really? Is there something wrong here?

Who sells a PPC product with a trial but doesn't make it last long enough to even try it? I doubt I'll ever buy it cause I can't even make sure it works. Too bad I didn't try it before I spent yesterday resetting and reinstalling. Oh well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Downloading the latest trial version will give you another 3 weeks of testing time .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LaGeek:
20 euros for this app, IMHO, is way too much. For me, and I would guess others also, I use it only when I am traveling. I tether with a USB cable, but this would be just cool to use sometimes.

My 0.02.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bosox15:
Thanks, just saw that there was a new release today, just my luck I'd install right when there was an update. Will download the newest version and see how I like it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gameross:
Well if its not worth it to you, dont buy it.

Some issues that I dont recall anyone mentioning is that this solves is that a lot of places you cant get a decent cel connection in some offices and for me, in the basement of my house, where Im lucky to get 1 bar, partially due to my houses aluminium siding.

Using this software, Im able to place my cel upstairs by a window where it gets around 2-3 bars, which is more than enough to get a reliable cel data connection, and then connect to my cel phone via WiFi from my basement.

This came in extremely handy as recently the city wide WiFi nodes in my neighborhood were having problems for like 10 days and you couldnt get a reliable connection; so this was definately a godsend.

Another issue is my laptops USB port cant keep up with the power requirements of my cel phone, PPC-6800(Mogel), when its connected continuously, so eventually I will lose my internet connection once the battery on my cel phone dies. So, being able to use the phones charger removes this issue.

Yes, some could connect to the phone over Bluetooth while using the charger, but most people dont have bluetooth while most have WiFi, BT is a major bottleneck for transfer speeds and BT has a far shorter range.

My one suggestion would for him to market a version that allows only a single WiFi connection for like $10 less.

Questions

First of all this app works great. I tested it at home using while my phone is connected to my wifi. Very fast speeds using this wifi router.

But let me get this straight. This wifirouter will only work if you have a wifi connection? In other words if i don't have wifi connection there is no way to connect my labtop via my kaiser using the HSPDA or 3G network? If that is possible I would buy this app instantly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gameross:
Aznmasterpiece, Im confused about what you think this program does. Im guessing it might be because english isnt your first language.

What this software does is it makes a internet connection call on your cel phone and then using the cel phones built in WiFi it allows other devices like laptops to connect to the internet through your cel phones internet connection. It makes your cel phone act like a wireless router with a built in internet connection.

If thats what youre looking for, then this program is for you.

updates

Chainfire, I am about to pull the trigger and buy wmwifirouter, but see a disclaimer on the site saying that I am only entitled to free updates for 1.x versions. I would think that for $30 I could get lifetime updates including 2.0 and beyond.

I have a rather large sales organization that I am thinking of deploying this software onto, but I am thinking to stick with 0.91 for my sales team. As time goes on we will upgrade our WM devices and no doubt your program will also have updated. I can't justify the cost to pay more than $30 per seat for updates for v2.0 and beyond. Even if your program doesn't change a lot after time, you should highly consider free lifetime updates for your customers. ShapeServices (in Germany) makes IM+ which is a good example of a program that comes with lifetime updates for free...

If my train of thought is out of line I apologize...I can imagine you spent a lot of time developing this, but $30USD is a higher end price for WM software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aznmasterpiece:
Can I use HSPDA or 3G network to connect my labtop using my cell phone? Or is it specifically wifi? Basically, if I have wifi turned off my phone automatically uses HSPDA, can i use the wifirouter that way or no?

In other words, can my phone be used in a similar way as say an internet card but using the wifirouter software? That was my question.

BTW, i live in the US :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] austinsnyc:
Hey ChainFire,

Another Beta Tester here if you like, I have a Kaiser, and Ipod Touch, PSP and so on so I will testing your app on anything and everything!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nEuDy:
hm.. i downloaded the latest version, and the .cab and also the .exe file won´t install :-(

evereytime i want to install the wifirouter, there´s an error, the installtion could not completed :(

I also did a Hardreset and it after that, the installation also won´t work :(

anyone has also this problem..

by the way: i use a HTC TyTN II with ne new original Windows Mobile 6.1 :rolleyes:

I also can test anything, because i also have to test with an apple iPhone, Nintendo DS, WifiRadio ;-) and many other things ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Currently it only works with wifi, but the upcoming major update will allow you to use anything your phone has available. It'll be a while before that is stable though, but a semi-public beta will probably be announced sometime this month (probably only for registered users, though).

As I explained to you by e-mail, 2.0 is a very very long way off. Everything that is currently planned is at this time scheduled for 1.x. We'll deal with a possible upgrade price when 2.0 arrives. It is neither stated that 2.0 will be free, nor that it will not be. At this time we simply do not guarantee it will be free. We have no intention of charging extra for minor features.

Also keep in mind one of the reasons it's on the expensive side for you is that the dollar is now worth about half of what it used to be some time ago, and the US isn't our biggest market.

See me reply at the top of this post.

For the installation issue, there is a different installer availabe from the trial page, listed a few lines below the one you downloaded and tried to install.

For testing, also see my reply at the top of this post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gameross:
Actually, my cel phone is the same way, BUT WMWiFIRouter basicly tricks your cel phone to have both running at the same time. It connects to the internet via your celular data connection and then routes that data to your cel phones WiFi so you can connect multiple WiFi devices to you cel phones Wifi/Cel connection and thus connect to the internet.

For example, I run WMWifiRouter on my cel phone. Once its established a connection, I browse for a WiFi access point that called WMWiFiRouter on my two laptops and my Nokia 770. All 3 devices connect to cel phone just like they do to my US Robotics WiFi router I have at home that connects to my Cable internet connnection.

So, no, it? not the same as plugging in a PC Card, its like connecting to any WiFi router thats connected to the internet.

The devices you want to have internet access have to have WiFi either built in, through a PC card, USB WiFi, etc. Any kind of WiFi connect device to connect to you cel phones WiFi.

In theory, you could run this software on your cel phone and everyone around you who has WIfI could connect to it, including other cel phones with WiFi built in, and connect to the internet WHILE you browse the internet on your phone.

Wifirouter and OLPC

I recently discovered this great program and it works fine with my Samsung i760. My conventional Windows XP laptop found the Wifirouter fine and I was able to connect. Would anyone have suggestions on how I might get my Linux XO OLPC to recognize the Wifirouter network? It just does not "see" it as it does my Versalink router and several in my neighborhood. Thanks for your help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigj91:
Chainfire I know you get this ? a lot,

Hey Chainfire, I am wanting to buy this great program, my question is when will you bring out the ability to use the wifi on the phone to connnect to a wifi hotspot, then share that wifi hotspot connection using usb to my pc, basically a wifi adapter. I am trying to use this with my ipass wifi account, thanks a bunch

Waiting for ICS and WLAN

I have searched the thread (maybe not well) and have not found a solution to my issue. I get the "waiting for ICS and WLAN" every time I start up the program. I also see my internet sharing screen also starts up. It tells me to check my usb cable connection. The PC Connection type is USB and the network connection is Media Net. I am using a Tytn II with 6.0 mobile. I am sorry if I missed the solution in a previous posting. Also, I did purchase this program so it is not a trial version if that makes a difference.

Try turning wifi on manually, going to Options -> Configuration -> Network setup, fill in the form (leave encryption off for now), turn wifi off manually again, and "Connect"ing.

As you are a registered users, please use the contact form on the website, this is not an official support topic and I do not check it daily.

What phone? Hardware Switch on? ICS working? Does it say "connected to WmWifiRouter

??? If so, try disconnect and reconnect from laptop.

Unplug give it a minute and reconnect, if it still doesn.t work try to restart and if it doesn't work after that it could be a hardware or connection problem

Problem removing Wmwifirouter

Can someone help me, because i can't remove wmwifirouter from my "HTC TyTn II".

First i have installed that "Jorrit Jongma WMWifiRouter" to my TyTn II and later i installed "Morose Media WMWifiRouter".

I don't uninstall old wmwifirouter before i installed new one and now i can't remove either Jorrit or Morose version of that software.

I have tried to reinstall but i can't even install it correctly. it always says "installation was unsuccesful".

I tried to remove all wmwifirouter files and registry but can't find the way to get them of from "Remove programs".

Is there anyway to fully remove items manually from the whole TyTn II. I'm hopeless.

I used that trial version so i can't get support from retailer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] asenduk:
still no luck

thank you for the responses.

i have the HTC Titan. and yes both says connected, my phone and pc, but still won't connect to the internet. i disconnected and reconnected and still no go. :confused:

Problem with DHCP

Hi all

I've just installed the current trial version and I'm having a problem getting a connection from my laptop.

WMWiFiRouter starts up fine, connects to my data carrier, sets up the wireless LAN (I've tried WEP on or off). Then when I attempt to connect from my XP laptop, the network appears, allows me to enter my WEP key, but then fails to get an IP address from my phone (O2 Atom Life). It just allocates the private 169.254.118.0 address. I've also tried using a static IP address (e.g. 192.168.3.2) but couldn't get a net connection (WiFi was connected fine).

Any ideas what the problem might be? I have tried to find an answer on here, but haven't seen anyone with this problem yet (unless I missed it).

Many thanks

Austin

Edit: Just a quick update - I finally gave up and re-installed WMWifiRouter. My laptop now succesfully gets an IP address from my phone and I can also access the internet. I've decided not to buy it though because it seems to cause my phone to become too unstable. Previously I would restart it about once a week - since I installed WMWifiRouter, it's more like 3 times a day. I also can't seem to turn off Wifi - I turn it off and it comes straight back on. This must be something to do with WMWifiRouter - just not sure what! Anyway, it's a great idea - just doesn't quite work for me. :-(

There is a v0.91 that's freeware and works on some devices but without extra features, if you want to try that one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Yes, you can download it at http://www.wmwifirouter.com/consumer/trial.php
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
There are indeed still some issues with wifi stability that seem to have a major effect on some device (others work fine) - there seem to be some issues with the wifi-related APIs. We're working directly with Microsoft to try and solve these issues. Maybe a later version will work better for you. Do you mind telling me which device you have?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rasmasyean:
Ha I knew it! Do we see a MS aquisition to incorporate it into the OS?

Don't settle for anything less than 100 million dollars plus royalties! Milk em! They got tons of M$$$!!! :D

Made me laugh....

Dude...First post to make me laugh in a long time. If we spot "Wifi Router" with a corny low-fi icon in WM7, we know he did it! If anyones gonna get fu@kn paid, it should be grass roots developers, like Chainfire, that built applications based on the demands of real users, and with love an hard work for the sake of furthering the platform. There are more than a couple of those developers in this very community. The sooner they start signing contracts for consultancy at M$, the better the OS gets. Best of luck, hope you get Fuc*in Rich buddy.;)

[EDITED TO REMOVE PROBLEM/QUESTION, WHICH I SOLVED]

So I got ad-hoc working again on my Mogul (don't ask - that was the rest of this post, a long explanation and question.. but it's fixed, and I figured I'd leave the part of the post about using a router).

So while my settings were messed up, I got it connecting through my router, which is working fine after following these instructions: http://support.wmwifirouter.com/knowledge/KB0806019/

Took some finangling, but it seems pretty robust now.

Going through the router has the added benefit of supporting devices that don't work with Ad-hoc. For example, I just got the news on my Wii through my phone (through the router). Same would work with PSP, etc. All the "unsupported" devices suddenly work as long as they can use WiFi (even if not ad-hoc).

Now I can just uncheck the "force ad-hoc mode" option when I'm home, and then I can use my home router to share my phone connection (by renewing the IPs of whatever device I want to use). Then when I'm traveling and don't have my home router to connect to, I can check the "force ad-hoc mode" option and only connect to specific devices. Nice! :D

EDIT 2: Doh, guess I spoke too soon on that edit. I'm getting a "Fatal Error ???" crash right after it says "Waiting for ICS and WLAN". Only in ad-hoc mode. Something in my WM settings is incorrect, I think. WMWiFiRouter works for me through my home router, so I don't think it's an ICS problem.

Also my "networks to access" setting seems stuck on access point only - when I change it to the other options, it changes itself back. The fatal error is frustrating though. Anyone have any suggestions?
