Connect phone to router, not make phone the router?
So I have searched around and have had very little luck finding any info on actually connecting my phone to a wireless router to share the 3G connection though a home router. I currently run wmwifirouter and love it but would like to only have one wifi network that my computers connect to. (right now I swap back and forth so I can print or get to my network storage, and then back to the wmwifi to access the internet.) Is connecting the phone to a home router for it's internet source even possible? I have found spotty info that says it's possible but nothing certain.

Sure it's possible.
Just turn on your phone wifi and wait for the network discovery. Then configure the connection - passkey if it's secured.

Yea... it is one of the main selling points of the device for some!

Re: Connect phone to router, not make phone the router?
Man I feel stupid, for years I've been using my the TP and mogul as the router thinking i couldn't connect it to a router.. So I can just turn on wmwifirouter, turn on 3g to wifi, then got to my ASUS router utility and see if I can find my wmwifirouter network? I would say terms like access point and bridge but I don't know if those are correct.
Or do I first connect to my phone to my home ASUS router then turn on wmwifirouter? Last edited by nichol; 01-12-2011 at 02:28 PM.

Quote:
Just go into Settings > Connections > Wifi - Turn it on, and you should be able to see available networks. Easy peasy, you're making it WAY too complicated!

Opps, yes key assumptions I made and wording left off. I would like to share my 3G connection through my home router. I probably should reword my first post! Sorry for the confusion!

Re: Connect phone to router, not make phone the router?
why is it you think you need to use this router so bad??? i have a laptop, strickly tethered to TP1s and TP2s only.. i also have a Photosmart printer... i do nothing funky at all to Print things from my laptop...
Tether normally... why not use Jetcet Print??? i worked out the Reg Edit that enables the best set of printer selection already for people too..(Add Network printer, BT printer, USB direct printer, and Local printer options) http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-...ml#post1996219 **edit** on a TP1, you can use a reg hack to enable PictBridge printing too(just change the reg dword to 63 instead of 190[190 has the 4 other printers though]).. if the printer supports it.. through PictBridge you can print pics, sms, documents, anything really wirelessly too - NO WIfi Needed for Pictbridge
