So, whats the point of the software. does it activate the 3g data connection from your provider and that the computer that is connecting can access, or is purely just for wifi.....if someone could elaborate please do so.

Yes it accesses your 3g data conn to share it via wifi.
So far so good! I've ditched WiFiRouter since.

So, again, has anyone gotten this to work on a non-HTC device? Do you need to enable WiFi but not connect to a network?

Also using mine with an iPod Touch - using a Diamond + most recent stock Spint ROM.

Purchased WMWiFiRouter and had been using it with no problems, but very recently was having trouble maintaining Wifi signal. My Diamond's Wifi icon has been constantly "searching". This little app connected quickly and with no problems.

I wrote to the WMWiFiRouter support group for some help to resolve the problem because I would still like to use the WMWiFiRouter app -it's more flexible - but the HTC one will do in a pinch.

I must be missing something. I can not get this to work at all. It tells me it is running but I can not see it from any laptop when I scan for wireless networks. I am using a stock Sprint Touch Pro.

is everybody aware you need to make sure you can see ad-hoc (computer to computer) networks from your PC? depending on your network settings you may only be looking for Access Points.
