Get Wifi Tethering working on the Verizon Omnia I910 - Page 4

All you need is ICS to teather by cable. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the new WMWifiRouter no longer has to have ICS preinstalled on the device. The new version (atleast what I'm using, V1.35) allows for more types of connections (3G to USB, WiFI, or BT as well as WiFI to USB and USB to Wifi). I love this program

It also allows you to add passwords and security and stuff for wireless connections

What ROM are you running? Is your data open so it can transfer to PC? Have you tried uninstalling, soft reset, and reinstalling?

Works like a charm! Just what i've been looking for.

I agree; this should be stickied!

Guys once you have connected the USB and run the ICS program and connect on that. How do you connect via the PC ? cos when i just click IE or Firefox or something i get page cannot be displayed. and when i run IPCONFIG i get a 169 IP meaning no internet. Any help?

Contagous...

all the Ipconfig and release stuff ur doing isn't necessary...how do u normally connect ur computer to the internet... via wifi or by Ethernet cable...?

if by Wifi, try turning it off....

then go to start/programs/IntShrUI open this program and click connect make sure where it says -
PC connection it reads - USB
Network Connection reads - Broadband access

if its working properly the status should say connected....it should work under those settings...

the other thing u need to check, are u able to surf the web on ur Omnia thru Opera or PIE...? if not u have a different problem...

Im on vista, and i was just running the ipconfig tools to see if its online.
