i'm using the one suggested earlier, i have it on both my phones and it works flawlessly. are you using the wifi router cab with the blue background and black antenna sticking up?

I am, icon is labeled wifiinternetsharing, and yep I tried the cab version. It installs fine and the icon appears without me doing a soft reset (though I have anyway in my trouble-shooting travels)

The proper one that is working for most ppl can be found here (yes it is the black antenna blue background):

Look @ post #13 on page 2 of the thread if you want the cab that installs a Program Shortcut in your start menu.

I tested it out last night on my XP Netbook & it worked flawlessly.
Only thing is the TP2's screen stays lit the entire time.
So if you turn the screen off, the Wifi will disconnect.

Back on topic:
There is another thread on here today that addresses the browser connection issue.
For some of you who can see & connect to this available 'wifi router' but cannot get IE browser to connect...it suggests it has to do with the caching of the 'old' settings.

May want to check that out.

I tried installing the cab posted here in this thread on a stock Sprint 6.5 ROM and do not see the additional option in the Comm Manager. Is there something I didn't do correctly?

it's not in the comm manager, you should see the wep key when you launch wifi router.

I used that cab in post #23 that sticks a shortcut in the program menu.
Apparently it sticks into connections also for me.

So when I click on that icon, brings me to the HTC login page for the SSID & WEP (id/pw for the laymen) which is prefilled by me & I just right softkey 'Start' to make my 'router' available.

Give this one a try, make sure your not conected to your laptop via activesync, select Disc drive, or leave the phone unconected, I am using the new Sprint 6.5 stock rom on an unlocked Sprint TP2, and it works great.

Only thing can someone tell us if they can tell that were tethering, is there a tethering fix for htc wifi router.

Dont forget to hit thanks if it works, I seem to be stuck at lurker level
