Wmwifirouter drains battery to shut off even when plugged in?

Ok so I'm using Wmwifirouter on my Mogul and it's shutting off my phone even when it's plugged in/charging????!!! This is insanely frustrating...anyone else experience this or know how to fix this?

Thanks,

Greg

Plugged into wall with factory charger?

Yes with the wall charger

from what i'm reading online....it says that the wmwifirouter is a power hog....so maybe it just can't keep up with the program as it uses both wifi and EVDO at the same time :/

Also, I have an aftermarket wall charger that puts out more like a car charger, not nearly as good as the factory wall charger

I have an HTC usb wall charger and it says it has an output of 5V=1A

The battery drain was a deal breaker for me... makes the wifi connection useless when I can just use USB.

A. you need to move up to the 3500mha battery
B .You are putting it into low power mode?
I had this same problem while on the road until I bought the Boxwave hi amp charger. No problems since.

Another plus for mine is that I bought a amplifier as my area does not have a strong signal. This keeps the unit from searching and trying to maintain a connection.
