I have seen this requested in the past, so I thought I would pass it along:

How to: Get Wifi Tethering working on the Verizon Omnia I910

**** If you have installed any other ICS files before you will need to do a hard reset. ****

Use the files I have attached.

1. Download/Install the attached "ICSInstall.CAB" file.
(You may not need to do 2 - 6 but this is how I got it to work.)
2. Restart your phone.
3. Test the install by Connecting the USB cable to your computer.
4. Then run "IntShrUI" from the Programs Menu and select "Connect".
5. If done correctly the program should display "Connected".
6. Now select "Disconnect" and disconnect the USB cable.
7. Download/Install the attached "WMWifiRouter91.CAB" file.
8. Restart your phone.
9. Turn on Wifi.
10. Run WMWifiRouter from the Programs Menu.
11. Select "Connect"
12. If done correctly the program should display "Connected to WMWifiRouter Ready".
13. From your computer search for the "WMWifiRouter" wireless connection.
14. Now have fun surfing the web from anywhere.

*You may need to restart your phone and repeat steps 10 - 14 a few times to get it to work.

And by doing this verizon will not charge you extra if I have the unlimited data plan. Just curious.. New VW customer

I have heard there is some cap on their 'unlimited' data, 5GB maybe? I think it would take a lot to get there though. Occasional use shouldn't be an issue.

Programs work flawlessly thanks for the info and I have heard the same thing about the 5gb cap. Crazy. Why would you call it unlimited when there is a limit

**Adrynalyne** · #6 (**permalink**) 02-14-2009, 07:17 PM

Because you can browse the net and use email unlimited.

Under those two circumstances, you could NEVER hit that cap. Its when you start using it for other things, like downloading, P2P, tethering, etc. that it changes. Verizon is protecting itself, by limiting those activities in another manner--by introducing a cap.

Its kind of like an all you can eat buffet. Sure, its unlimited, but they are gonna stop ya when you start bringing in boxes, wheelbarrows, barrels, and moving trucks to take some home with ya.

They will not cut you off at 5GB. Just throttle you way down. Back to dial-up speed for the rest of the month. Reminds me of DirecPC back in the last century.

It hasn't happened to me (yet) but is the story going around at HOFO.

hi so i think i botched the install of the first cab , cant via usb any more . cant use ActiveSync anymore tried just uninstalling and it says it could not uninstall completely any idea how to fix this

Please tell me you use a backup app!!! If you did, the easiest thing to do is to do a hard reset and do a restore from your last safe point. If not, you can use explorer to find any files/folders associated with the app and delete them manually. If that doesn't do it, reg editing may be in order, and for that someone who is currently using this may have to look up the reg changes for you and maybe be nice enough to help you!!

How do we remove the WMWifiRouter from the Omnia?
