Turn any windows mobile into WIFI router

This application lets you use your phone as WIFI router without setting up anything in device. Let me if you guys like it.

This application has its own thread here on XDA-Developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357152. Don't really see the point of you posting the CAB here.. without all the information needed.

Well this message, in the wrong place, introduced me to your excellent application!
thank you

How do you turn off this wifirouter?? i got it working and works fine although i cant get my archos gen 5 to pick it up but i tuned it off but my computer still picks it up although it cnt connect to it

the app is connected but i am not connected to the internet on my laptop...any answers? i tried resetting a bunch of times

is it the trial version or the real thing? is there a free way of doing it.. does it work for windows 5

infrastructure mode?
is there a way to broadcast in infrastructure mode, instead of ad hoc? i would love to use a zune hd with this, but it is not able to see ad hoc networks. thanks.

???
the SSID is not showing up in my computer. All others (mine and my neighbors wireless connections) are showing up.

How to get my playstation 3 2 work with this router
Hi i am so damn frusterated right now with this. How do i get my ps3 to work with this router thing. My computer connects to it and recieves wifi. But when i try to find it with my ps3 it wont detect it. Does any one know how do i get this 2 work.

try this
1. connect ur trinity to ur laptop / pc via USB and run "internet sharing" on your trinity.
2. Set up an Ad-Hoc connection on your PC / Laptop and directly connect ur PS3 to it.
3. In network settings on your PC / Laptop click the ad-hoc connection icon and the windows mobile based device icon (Ctrl-Left click each one) right click one of them when their both selected and click on bridge connection from the drop down menu.
this method's a bit of a potch to set up but once its running it works perfectly and you only have to set it up once. it also lets you use the internet on your pc and ps3 at the same time.

I'm pretty late to this and NEW (newbie), but I wanted to make a quick post about it's use on my Imagio winmo 6.5 OS 5.2.21... no mods, no roms burned and this works perfectly. Now I can surf at work without the assistance of our helpful IT friends LOL.

Your laptop or pc picks up adhoc signals aswell as infrastructure, to be quiet honest, this app is very useless when advertised as a router, doesn't route anything if just limited to adhoc, adhoc = computer to computer connections, not a router to me at all! Its a very nice app for many other things though.. I see someone giving you instructions for 'ICS' doing all that just makes it all pointless and you may aswell just get a home router connected to house line!

This is one of my favourite apps. I've been using it for a long time now and just awesome.

Really love this app. Only problem is that it worked great the first time I launched it. Now it can't connect. It just keeps on cycling trying to connect to att gprs and finally says "the remote party has ended this connection". Any ideas?

It sounds like possibly your connection settings have been erased. Can you get internet in Explorer, etc? If so, please disregard this...

how do i load it in my phone

thanks for the share , can you explain how the procedure works , I want to create applications like these but still don't understand their concept

EVO as a USB Drive/NIC?

Being a hardcore winmo user/modder for past 4 years, I'm finally switching to an android based phone, Evo. The hardware, especially the WiMAX which is served where I live, got me to finally switch over to Android (pre-ordered Evo last week from shack ), and now got a few software questions.
When connecting Evo to some random win/mac computer through USB,
Will the external MicroSDHC card (and hopefully internal flash as well) act as a USB drive? Loading mp3's without taking out the card is a must, and since I do a lot of PC troubleshooting, also love using my phone as a drive where I store all my fav rescue tools and other portable apps/docs.
Is it possible to share either 3g or 4g data, like winmo's internet connection sharing feature, by having phone be detected as a generic network adapter? I prefer tethering data through USB because I notice faster and much more stable download/upload speeds compared to WiFi and many desktops which I work on don't come with WiFi card so USB is pretty much the only option. And also, the phone is being charged at the same time
Hopefully it'll be "yes" to both questions, but since I haven't dealt with Android before, besides running a crippled v2.0 on my HTC Touch Pro where USB didn't work anyways, I wanted to consult with the "experienced".

When you plug the Evo into your computer, it pops up with 4 options: Charge only, HTC Sync, Disk drive, and Internet sharing.
I have never tried the HTC Sync and Internet sharing before, but now I'm trying Internet sharing to see what it does.
Wow, it really very easily shares internet connection with my Linux desktop. Very cool of HTC to include wired tethering natively...
Edit: I should mention that the Evo was in fact sharing it's 3G connection.

I'm new to the Android thing, but found this while researching tethering options for Android. I assume these would still work on the Evo (minus the 'needs root' option, for the time being):

That answers both of his questions. So when you plug in Evo, you can use it as disk drive, and as Internet sharing (USB tethering), very cool!

On ubuntu, it detected the phone immediately as usb0 and connected to it in 5 seconds.
On windows 7, it does the Installing device Drivers thing, then fails. Comes up with this status http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30367/Evo Tether.png
So I guess it works out of the box on Ubuntu but not Windows 7. Though it shouldn't be hard to install whatever you need. I'll update when I figure it out.
Edit: To get it working on Windows 7, I just installed the "HTC Sync\HTCSync2.0.31.exe" file on the sdcard then switched the "USB Connection Type" on the phone to Internet Sharing. Windows 7 then connected to the device as if you plugged in an ethernet cord.

Dont have 4G in California yet. But I'd assume you will share whatever mobile connection your phone is currently on, 3G/4G.

before i get too excited, has anyone tried the 64 bit drivers or just the 32? mobile internet+phone charging=better but i am on win7 64

ubuntu 10.4 lucid 64bit
confirmed that HTC EVO "internet sharing" working fine on Ubuntu 10.4 64bit - out of the box, no configuration needed. just plug in and it automatically connects

My post above was tested on Windows 7, 64 bit.

Once it's rooted, it'll work fine. I'm actually tethered to my G1 right now. Checking a box on the phone and plugging in the USB cable is exactly the same as plugging in an ethernet cord. It's really nice.

Do you need to pay the $29 charge to do this?

No, USB tethering is free AND unlimited.

i use ics
i use internet connection sharing, ics to import the wired usb tether web connection and send it out my lan port to a wifi router running ddwrt...
the router can broadcast the wifi.
i did it pre root using the 10 buck easy tether app.
i rooted 2.2 last night and got wifi tether working this mornign
so i am currently seeing how to usb tether post root w/o easy tether.
so both are possible most likely post, but definatly pre root.

[Request] Reverse Tethering

Hey guys,
since i'm moving often, workwise, and don't have the luxury of great DATA speeds via my Phone often, and neither the Option to pair my Wifi with local hotspots or Routers in Companys.. i'd love a solution for the play.
So far i've tried
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-793102.html - Failed
I'm currently running CM7 (FXP Edition release 41 i believe) and it does NOT come with that option, though i've read that CM7 doas come with it on some devices.
Any help appreciated!
(BTW - a PORTABLE solution would be preferable, since it's Client PCs i'm sitting on mostly.)

My answer would be Yes, on whatever is possible. I guess any rooted rom could get that feature.

I have the same issue... I'm considering connecting my netbook with an ethernet cable and using the wifi to connect to my phone.
I haven't seen anyone successfully use ICS on Windows 7 to reverse tether to an Android phone through USB. (we use Windows 7 at work)

I think you need to enable RNDIS in kernel, for example to compile it as module.

Ive used connectify while i was on vacation.
You can turn your wifi adapter into a hotspot and put a password on it so you can connect your phone to your laptop while your laptop is connected to another wireless network (get it ?)
see http://www.connectify.me/

Well the thing is, I am usually connected via cable. So wifi is not an option.

[Q] Confirm Ad-hoc support?

Can anyone confirm Ad-hoc support? I know Honeycomb supports ad-hoc connections right out of the box (well at least I know the TF tablet does) so I was hoping that ICS supports connecting to an ad-hoc wifi connection. I'm not talking about tethering a device to the GN, I'm talking about reverse tethering. At work it's a cell black hole. Doesn't matter what provider you have, the signal is crap. I have Cyanogen on my OG Droid and it allows me to connect to the ad-hoc wifi connection I've set up on my laptop to give the droid some form of data connection while I'm at work.
I still want the phone regardless of whether or not it supports ad-hoc as I'm sure in due time it'll be easy enough to implement with a custom rom. It would just be nice to know if it'll support it when ever Verizon gets around to releasing it.

i ve flashed my SGS i9000 with ICS port rom , and i ve notice that there are no ad-joc support, thats really a big pity , i ve tried to find an application in the market to allow me to connect via ad-hoc networks , but i found nothing ... i hope there will be solousion soon time

Yeah, from what it looks like in the bug tracker, I believe the only reason why the Asus TF has Ad-Hoc support is because Asus enabled it themselves, not Google. I wish Google would take their heads out of their you know where and make this simple change. It's not like they need to research how to fix it since all the research has already been done.

Can't answer your question, but if you're running Windows 7, have you tried Connectify to make your laptop a hotspot? It's free and I hear it works pretty well.
Also, maybe there is a ROM out there that support the Bluetooth PAN profile (Android 2.3 doesn't, maybe ICS already does?), so you can just connect the phone to your laptop using that link, no wifi needed, less battery usage since it's bluetooth, and I believe that's what the PAN profile is intended to be used for anyway.

not working here
i tried editing tiwlan but did not find that config file
haven't found any other tutorials concerning adhoc on Android 4.0
btw it is issue number 82 on Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project (not allowed to post outside links for me)

Updated my phone to Android 4.0.2 and still no ad-hoc...
Is there an application that can do it?

I wish we had Win 7 at work. Sadly we're still running XP so connectify is a no go. I've also heard it works pretty well but sadly I can't even test it out.
I haven't tried Bluetooth PAN yet with the GN but I believe the bluetooth stack on my laptop is also crippled. I tried doing the same with my tablet (which I know allows bluetooth PAN) and the laptop wouldn't setup a proper PAN. Seems like we're SOL regarding Ad-hoc until someone releases a hack for it or a ROM comes out.

Any progress?
I've got the same problem... Poor reception at work, and running XP.
(Although, I've also got a Linux machine, and tried sticking an USB wifi adapter in it, but the stock driver doesn't support Master Mode on it. Maybe I should just get myself a new USB wifi adapter that's properly supported by Linux? Any recommendations?)

I haven't heard of anything yet. It doesn't look like any of the ROMs have it yet either.
I'm kinda lucky though, I was recently transferred in my company and I'm now located in a building where I get a decent 4G signal all day. Also my new laptop is Win 7. I did play around with connectify a bit. It works but not extremely well for me. I wind up losing connection quite often. I did read though that it's possibly something to do with AV or Firewall, and knowing my company, that's probably it.

I have Winxp at work also on my laptop and connectify works with my Asus transformer. But for the galaxy nexus it doesn't recognize the adhoc network during wifi scan. Need a new supplicant file installed.

Win 7 & Android AP

I many a times use the wifi tethering to connect my Win7 laptop to connect to the internet. Running CM ROM.
Win7 connect to the AP right away, but shows 'Limited Connectivity'. Then it takes another minute or two before actually getting connected to the internet.
Connecting my Xoom to the same AP is instant. It seems like a Win7 issue.
Does anyone experience this issue?

I can't say that I've experienced this issue specifically, but I feel your pain. My guess would be an issue is with Windows 7. Try something different and see what happens. FoxFi is an easy to use WiFi tether. Worth a try if it fixes your issues.

Thanks chrisgriner. Tried FoxFi - doesn't work on JB. Looking thru the reviews, a few others also complained of it not working with JB.

I have had this same issue with my xoom and windows 7 laptop. My laptop always takes much longer to connect and catch up when connecting. Its probably something with how windows operates. I just deal with it.

Thanks smokeey, those are my settings. Sometimes, when windows fails to get Internet connectivity, clicking on troubleshooter (which sometimes disables and re enables the wireless adapter) gets it going.

Update your wireless card drivers on your laptop.
