I know that if I connect to my PC and establish an ActiveSync connection between the two, the TP2 and the PC, I can use the PC's internet connection on my phone. I'm wondering if I can take it one step farther than that and make it so that while my phone is connected to my computer's internet, it is able to broadcast that internet connection through the Wi-Fi Router. I've tried looking through the settings for this and I can't seem to find it. Everything that is there involves me using the mobile network's internet as the data source for the Wi-Fi Router. Reason for me wanting to do this is because... Well... My DS can't connect to WPA2 connections and that is what my house is currently using. I want to use my phone as a secondary router that uses WEP security for the moments when I need to go on Wi-Fi with my DS. Any way to do this? Thanks to anyone who can help me!
had this same problem with my kids DS's. Couldn't get the TP2 wifi to work with them, so I just downgraded my security for my home internet to make the kids happy. WEP all around.
