Right now, I have a router set up to automatically connect to my TP2 when I enable WMwifirouter. Everything plugged into the router (PS3, HTPC, etc.) then has internet access.

It works, but I have been thinking about doing something higher speed so I could get some decent looking Netflix streams.
How do you get your router to detect and use your broadcasted internet connection (WMWiFiRouter)????

If you do above 5 GB a month they can decide to drop you. They will cancal your service without a EFT. I have friends that it happen to. Just a word of warning

Yeah lol, after I noticed that I was in the clear tethering I went nuts, downloading movies left and right and there hasnt been a problem yet.

It sucks that sprint would drop you, the month I first got my phone I strictly used the browser on the phone and reached slightly over 5GB...but then again I do have Verizon

Re: Tethering as main Internet.

I have the sprint unlimited data plan and use my the Mobile Wifi Router to provide my computer with internet. The only unfortunate is where I live 90miles from the city, I only get 15kb/s download and 5kb/s upload. Cellphone signal booster didn't seem to help/

Re: Tethering as main Internet.

it's like using dialup with CDMA you gotta choose between internet and phone calls that's the only reason I wouldn't use it as a main source at home, but definitely works well in the car/airport or in the dorms where our wireless internet is less than optimal

Eww @ 15kb/s, that sucks bruh. I guess im lucky with the 245 kb/s I get, thats still too slow for me at times. I dont always get that much speed its usually around 140-200

The only problem is, if the router loses power, I have to log into the router GUI and re-establish the wifi connection.

I occasionally play GTA4 on my PS3 through this setup and it is playable. If Sprint gets busy during peak hours, gameplay can be lagged, but for the most part it works.
can you walk me through the steps to do this?... you can PM me or do it here, but this would be a perfect solution to my dad's issues. i already have dd-wrt on my WRT54G

i haven't ever tried it, but, what if the Linksys was left in infrastructure mode, but turn off it's DHCP. Then set wmwifirouter to attach to the wireless not in ad-hoc mode? I would be thinking this should let devices like a wii still attach to the non-adhoc wireless, and it may not need manual intervention on a power cycle of the router? I have been wanting to try this at some point but haven't gotten around to it.

Re: Tethering as main Internet.

just use WmWiFiRouter soft and your TP2 becomes wireless router itself(make sure its plugged in as it uses a lot of power and will drain you batt juice fast). Also can connect using bluetooth or even direct usb cable in case you dont have wifi adapter. Need any help - pm me
