9/5/09 - HTC WIFI Router Software (Newest Version Now in Comm Manager)

[thekafka]

can some one explain what the purpose of this is? if the program turns your phone into a wifi router...what will that really do? If you turn the wifi on, you need a wireless access point to get on the internet. any computer thats able to connect to your phone wirelessly via wifi would be able to connect to the wireless access point the phone would have to connect to anyway to get internet service. 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.
