HTC WiFi Router

Sorry if this has been addressed, but I couldn't quite find a definitive answer.

Running a basically brand new TP2, Sprint stock rom, with clean up installed. I installed the cab with no problems, and I can get it to open and run fine. It connects to Sprint and says that it's ready for connections. My wifi router and the one on the laptop see it, and connect to it. However once connected, the internet doesn't seem to work. Anyone experience anything similar to this and possibly found a fix for it?

Much appreciated.

does your phone show an active data connection by your signal bars when you run wifi sharing? if it doesn't try opening opera and then minimize it and then run wifi sharing

It switches between inactive and active quite a bit. I had already tried forcing to stay active by surfing a bit on the phone, but still no wifi success.

I personally use WmWiFirouter, It cost me 20 bucks back when I had a Mogul, then a TP now the TP2. I load the install cab then my key cab. Two minutes of loading 2 cabs and following the setup and I got my hotspot with no issues, I can use bluetooth, wifi, or usb. It has worked flawlessly for me for over 2 years now.

HTC Wifi Router doesn't work for me either. Same as OP: Sprint Touch Pro 2, stock firmware, connects or comes close ("limited connectivity"), but won't permit Internet sharing.

The commercial WMWifiRouter works better (on trial), but is relatively expensive. It handles Wifi and USB, but not Bluetooth, which is grayed out.

I wonder whether WMWifiRouter deliberately goofs up the Internet settings so that simpler Internet sharing programs won't work.

check and see if your wifi is turned on in communications......I remember having problems with the app on stock ROM....running Energy now and it works fine....

But does anyone know how I can connect to PSP with it???

Really strange, I tried the htc wifi router and my laptop doesnt see it, then tried the wmwifirouter and it works great. I like the features of wmwifirouter but $30 is a little spendy. I verified my xp machine looks for both adhoc and access points, but no go with the free htc wifi router.
