tethering two phones at same time

treeboy · #1 (**permalink**) 06-22-2011, 12:34 AM

Didn't find it in my searching so here it goes. I have two (wifes and mine) TP2's both running stock ROMS WinMo 6.5 from USCC with tethering palns We both have WMWiFiRouter 2.00 installed and share our internet through a Linksys router. What I would like to do is tether both phones at the same time to increase bandwidth preferably through the router but not mandatory. Also, I'm not opposed to flashing new ROM's if needed to achieve desired result since the phones are nearing end of life. Any ideas?

you would most likely have to bridge the connections .. using a computer that has two WiFi cards . then connect the bridged connection to the linksys ..

not sure if bridging the two together is going to get you much faster connection either.

I was going to reply with that same thought but wasn't sure how best to coney how to bridge two cell phones....

haha you guys are funny ! but to the OP , there are a lot of things you have to understand with windows to do what you want . For instance , to just increase the bandwith on one machine , you just have to connect one cell phone to the wireless card and the other via usb . And I believe on any windows 7 machine , windows will automatically utilize bothe connections when sending/receiving data . But to connect the cell phones to a wireless router , you would have to do what I said before . Connect them to the computer then bridge the three connections . (1st tp2 bridged with 2ndtp2 then that bridged connection bridged with the wireless router . )

Thanks for the replies people. Generally I only need to speed up transfers on one computer my Win 7 machine so I'll give that a try via the wireless card and and usb first. I haven't found a way to bridge the two phones yet, but I haven't looked that hard either. Should anyone know off the top let me know thanks.
