Re: How To: Using your 6700 as a USB modem for your computer.

wmwifirouter is something that turns your wi-fi enabled phone into a wireless router. It seems like a nice solution, although I'd keep the phone on the charger while running it. I would think it's making that little phone work quite hard.

The magic internet search shows you can get it at:
http://www.wmwifirouter.com

It looks like it recently changed to a commercial product. They have a download trial, but I don't see on their site what the restrictions are. It's not priced too bad at 15 Euros. (So what's that...about $225 with the current exchange rate? )There are still some sites that have the beta freeware version available.


Internet connection sharing does look like it makes the dialer obsolete. I really haven't used my smartphone (HTC Apache with the WM6 upgrade) to anywhere near it's full potential. I just turned sharing on, and my PC found a Remote NDIS Based Internet Sharing Device. Unfortunately I live at a point far from 3 Sprint towers, so I'm only getting 39 kbps 1X speed. I'll be taking it on a trip tomorrow to an area with the $10/day wi-fi access, so this should help a lot.

Thanks for the information everyone.

Ha Ha i like the exchange rate comment. lol

Honestly i have no use for it. I mean whats to point? other than you can get a wifi card for your laptop? I could understand if you had a home computer and your lucky to find free wifi.

Re: How To: Using your 6700 as a USB modem for your computer.

I got this configuration using the Internet Sharing set up while I was at the Sun-N-Fun airshow in Lakeland, FL last week. They have very good signal coverage at the event there. I sent to speedtest.net, and it showed me getting 916 kbps down and 113 kbps up.

I don't know if that's completely accurate, but browsing speed was very good. That Spring SERO plan with data pays off again. I just wish I had a good signal at home. The one of their antenna sites is at a nearby airport on a hotel that is only 5 stories tall. Another is on a good sized hill, but I have high voltage power lines between us that seems to block the signal. I wonder if there's some cheap repeater that would be able to be put in the house?
