Tethering with WMWifiRouter .91

[clsmooth1974]

is there a need for serial # or password? i only ask the question as i go through the wireless LAN settings and it has a section to enroll and it asks for that info? last question , can you change the name of your wifi router to give it another name instead of showing as wmwifirouter?

yea i have my wifi turned on and i still can find it from my laptop.

help me to understand why i am getting a excellent signal from my wifi router and the data connection and wifi is turned on, but it is not powering the internet for my laptop. im sure it is something simple, but i can not figure it out yet. everything seems to be working properly , just NOT able to surf the web on my laptop with the wmwifirouter yet. PLEASE enlighten ME!!

On my Touch pro I'm using version wmwifirouter ver. .91, deleted the isext.dll file and changed the forceconnecting setting to "Sprint". Now I have no problem tethering but the connection still disconnects every few minutes. Anyone else having this problem?

thanks for the reply. i use WMWifirouter all the time and if it didn't run on the pro i probably would not get the phone. now i just have to wait to be able to afford it.

It will run just fine on the Pro. Just don't expect to be able to use it for a long term solution unless you keep the device actively cooled while using it. The heat created from all of the radios being on at once will disable the charger while in use and you will be left with a battery operated wifi access point till it dies.

Just FYI.

this is how i set it up on my phone.

1. before installing the cab, turn on wifi (don't know if this is needed, in the old versions it was)
2. when ever you start the program, make sure that wifi is turned on (this definitely is needed)
3. on your phone under settings>connections tab> wifi> at the bottom it will have a pull down named networks to access. chose "all available". WMWifiRouter will appear in the window above.
4. highlight and select WMWifirouter
5. hit next to go to the second screen named "configure network authentication"
6. set authentication to "open" data encryption to "WEP" network to what ever 13 digit pass word you want and if you feel like it set the key index to a different number then 1. hit next, finish and then OK.
7. start up WMWifirouter (don't forget to turn on wifi first) and click connect at the bottom. wait about 10 seconds for it to connect and then on your computer go into your wireless network connection status (i double click the little icon in my sys tray)
8. click view wireless networks
9. select WMWifirouter (hopefully it's the top one)
10. with WMWifirouter highlighted click "change advanced settings" on the right side
11.click wireless networks tab at the top
12.highlight WMWifirouter in the window and click properties
13. set up just like you did on your phone using the same network authentication, data encryption, network key (13 digits), and if you want key index.
14. click OK twice and your done

now this is how i did it on my lenovo t60. i am not an expert and don't know if this will actually help anyone, but i stumbled through this with NO help on my own and i just hope that i can make it a little easier for others. good luck. i love this program.

did you own a titan? i find on my titan that if i open the keyboard and take out the stylus the phone stays pretty cool (slightly warm to the touch). maybe it would help with the pro also

Does anyone know if this works for bluetooth teathering? I'm leary to copy over the orginal ICS...especially when this worked on my mogul. I don't carry a usb cable with me.
