Hi,
I was searching the forum but haven't found any useful info about that.
Do you know any WM5 software which can change TyTN into wireless router ?
Something like WModem, but using 3G and WiFi in the same time.
My idea is to come back home, plug the charger into my phone , run WRouter and have wireless internet connection everywhere in the flat from my mobile connected to 3G web'n'walk T-Mobile network.
What do you think ?
Cheers,
BenOne
IMHO -
no way
no driver support for that
AFAIK no application
why? power consumtion on highest power setting is terrible, and battery is soon completelly depleted, there is also neecesary to left charger in phone...
if you need wifi router (w/ NAT, firewall, VPN...) you can buy inexpensive router for few bucks and it is more compatible, more stable, more usefull, more secure, far better manageable etc...
yeah right, but for what another device if I have one ?
I am charging my tytn everyday, you know how it eats battery...
just wanted to know, it could be quite useful. cheers
U can use bluetooth on the tytn as a router with a reg hack u can connect more then one computer, not the same range and speed but it is possible.
yeah but then everybode have to have bluetooth in their notebooks. we have 3 laptops in the flat and nobody has bluetooth in it. but what then ? everybody are connecting using dial-up, like thorugh normal usb cable, but instead of it, thorugh bluetooth ?
now we have like that - I am commin back home, connect tytn to my laptop, dial-up, and wireless in my laptop is ad-hoc configured, so everybody are connecting to my machine, and modem (tytn) is shared. if tytn has wireless, I thought, that I don't have to leave my laptop all the time turned on. It could be great to leave connected to charger and that's all. All the internet and local home network could be through that. If there was a linux distribution for this phone I am pretty sure this option would be one of main in netwokr configuration...
anyway thx. just wanted to know if there is any piece of soft for that...

have you seen this official htc link: http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htctytn.html?lang=en
it seems it could be possible with vista... but I'm not sure...
EDIT: NO WAY... This is just wireless modem driver for vista... but not for wifi connection! Sorry!
Anyway, I'm very interested in... it could be very interesting for other connections as well... to get online a game consolle...like nintendo wii...
I really hope this dream will come true!
yeah, imagine you play in the bus online. cool!
battery problem. in this configuration I give our tytn 1 hour working on wifi and 3g used together in the same time...
anyway at home you have charger, in a car aswell, you can buy few batteries on ebay and problem resolved heh
sooo, who can start write this application ?
to which company or open source coders team should I send this idea ?
You could tether your Tytn to your laptop using either a usb cable or bluetooth, then setup an adhoc network through your laptops wifi connection. All you need to do then is do internet connection sharing between your bluetooth DUN connection and your wifi card and you should be in business to let your flat mates connect to your adhoc, which essentially turns your laptop into a router. Let me know if that helps or if you have any further questions.
I've done this myself with my mates and it works flawlessly.
Yea, I searched around a while on this way back but there is no solution that I could find.
Your best bet is to either just use PAN bluetooth, or tether just one computer over bluetooth and share your connection via wifi. It's super easy on a mac, not sure about windows.

ehehe...NO, MATE.... There's NO adsl connection where I live... So I can just use my tytn as a HSDPA modem and I use to share his connection on my PC, BUT I'm not able to share it throug wifi on my wii...
I really hope a coder could solve this... even if I'm not sure it's possible.

yeah, cheers pal, I've already written about that above. I have this kind of network at my home frome the begninnig of using tytn. What I want is to stop using my laprop as a router, my tytn has everything to be a router itself, it needs just a piece of software. This thread is only about piece of software.
Hi guys
It's been a while since I posted to the forum and I apologise if this question has already been asked.
I have an MDA Vario II with a T Mobile web&walk 3G internet connection.
My question:
My notebook PC has wireless networking, is it possible for me to wirelessly connect my notebook to the internet using the 3G connection on my MDA Vario II?
Cheers
John
Yes...
Asking a question you havn't bothered to search for isn't excused by appologising for not searching at the beggining of the question... its only marginly less anoying.
google: your question
or
google: your question site:xda-developers.com
should help you out.
Cheer up!
Who said I didn't do a search?
yep possible, but against the terms and conditions on £7.50 W&W.
you need to turn off the active sync on your laptop tho, well i had too!
allowed

I joined as a business user when I bought my MDAIII and when I upgraded to the MDA Vario 2 I managed to get the flext 20 package (£34 allowance for calls and texts) with unlimited usage and web n walk pro enabling me to use anything I want as much as I want for as long as I want and I pay £25.49 per month. I can use skype (although I rarely use the chat and never use it for actual calls as no one I know uses it anyway).
I found the rick was that they mucked things up for me so many times when I switched contracts that each time they gave me a discount. I dont think I am getting that good a deal now but at the time it wasnt bad.
I do use my MDA as a mode for my very small JVC laptop quite reguarly and its very good. I have only been unable to do it once and that was near wrexam
Um, isn't the answer to this that you can't do it using the Wifi, but you can using Bluetooth or USB.
With BT is was reasonably easy in WM5, in WM6 you need a laptop BT stack which implements BT PAN properly (mine doesn't) so I just wire them together.
USB is considerably faster - I get 850kbs in London.
As for it being against the T&Cs of basic WnW, a lot of people seem to get away with it once in a while, but hammering it with big downloads is bound to get you a slap.

Does your JVC connect to the modem in the MDAIII wirelessly?
Can you briefly explain what I need to achieve this?
Thanks

If wired, I understand Activesync must not be running but do I need other software & is it difficult to setup?

If you have flashed a WM6 rom it's a doddle, you just run Intenet Sharing on the handset and tell it to use USB, hit connect and it disconnects Activesync automatically and sets up a network access point on the laptop. For a minute I thought I'd accidently picked up a mac, it "just works".
In WM5 it's a right old pain, you have to set up a dial-up account for the handset, tell it to dial something (?) and run the modem program on the handset. I'd upgrade if you haven't done so already, it's one of the big pluses of WM6.

No I keep a mini usb retractable cable with me for when I need it (doubles as charger in car or home etc). Wonderful as my laptop is it doesn't have bluetooth connectivity and its as easy to wire as it would be to get a bluetooth dongle. I just found the instructions here and it works fine.
I have recently upgraded fromt he Blekin Pre N router to the Belkin N router at work. Now for some reason my Athena refuses to connect to it. I know the router works fine because my laptop connects without any issues. I have the router configured to broadcast as B, G, and N on channel 10. The Athena sees the router just fine but it refuses to connect to it. At home my Netgear G router connects flawlessly along with the old Pre N (before it broke). I was reading an article about someone having the same issues and said he flashed his N router to look like it was a Linksys, but the person didn't get into details as to how this was done. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
this is completely the wrong place as it is a router issue not a phone issue, but I don't care im just telling it like it is.
The only way doing what your proposing would work is if the 2 routers (belkin and linksys) were fundamentally the same, (which is possible as it would not be the first time a rouer Mfr has made a router for somebody else). you need to be very careful though and find out which linksys router tallys up with your belking, as flashing the wrong firmware will turn your router into a fancy doorstop ! (although it is still under warrany so I guess you could return it to the store). in reality you want to be patient and wait for belkin to release the same firmware update for their router, it probably wont be long, as they are probably just waiting to get it through from linksys, but with all the linksys branding removed and belkin branding put in its place.
So in the mean tme there is no work around?
I have a similar experience recently, and it's very specific to the Belkin routers and the Athena.
I have the Belkin Pre-N router, and it works fine with my HTC Wizard and Kaiser, as well as all my computers connected to it.
However, when I received my new x7501 recently, it would not connect to the Belkin router. The Athena would see the Belkin, but it would not connect. I assumed I had a defective WiFi circuit in the Athena, but HTC support sugested I try the Athena on another WiFi network. I did so, and to my surprise, it connected.
Fortunately, I have two routers, and I re-enabled the Linksys B/G router and my Athena works fine with it.
It's interesting that ToolTalk found the Pre-N Belkin worked with his Athena, maybe I just need to get the newset firmware for my Pre-N, and it will work with my Athena.

Yes I did update the Pre N to the latest firmware. To be quite honest that router's pretty cool. Came back this past Monday from the wk end break and it would not connect and external HD connected to it would not show on the network. Hence, I went out to get the new Belkin N router. This was the reason for the upgrade. Had I known it would've been an issue I would've got a Netgear instead. Unfortunately I can't let the boss know that I want to return the router because my phone won't connect to it's WIFI (lol). However I might try and get the Pre N working again and withing the 15 day return period. Thanks for the heads up hopefully, Belkin or HTC comes out with a work around.
I'm glad you started this thread ToolTalk. I just updated the firmware in my Pre-N router, and my Athena connects to it now.
I prefer only having one wireless router in the house to avoid interferrence. So, this is good.

Glad I could be of assistance bud, and as soon as I get the N working I'll post and let you guys know about it.
Hi guys,
To make a long story short I recently bought a Touch pro (im with alltel). I have installed wmwifirouter on my phone in hopes of using my phone as a router to connect to xbox live. Unfortunalety I have running into the problem where on the xbox live test screen it will not go pass the MTU test. I always get the MTU error status and I cannot go any further. I have read though various online sites that in order for xbox live to connect, the MTU setting on the router has to be higher than 1365. So.... my question is..... where is that setting on wmwifirouter and how do i change it.... or is there any other way to fix this problem?..... any help would be great!!!!!
I´ve got the same problem. Anyone with an answer?
I'm trying the same with my Wii but it not work with an ad-hoc network. I think that Wmwifirouter only offers this network type to sharing internet connection.
Sorry for posible errors in my english.
Shame this.
I thought it could route all network traffic but only appears to be basic.
You can get an old linksys router and install ddwrt then use the Router as a wifi repeater
If you get the version with more ram on it you can get the Fat version of DDwrt otherwise you will have to get the micro build.
It's able to route your network traffic to your wifi hub and is probably going to be more relyable as you can boost the signal output too.
I... tried to do this. and i won.
after MUCH time trying to get my 360live i finally did this...
Htc Mogul...wifirouter puttin out wifi...to my alienware laptop...eithernet cable to 360.
i thought thered be pretty bad lag... my stats prove otherwise
no problems here
I have a Touch Pro (Sprint) and I use Wifi Router regularly to connect to XBox live when not at home. It seems to work fine. I dont know about changing any settings or anything like that. I know this doesnt help you but just so you know that it has been done successfully without a hitch. No cables needed.
I have the Fuze and with WMWifirouter, DD-WRT installed on an old WRT54GL, a 12 cell rechargeable battery, some cables and a signal booster I was able to build a portable wifi station that can recharge and I usually get 9 hours of use from the router. Unfortunately the Fuze's battery usually dies within 4 hours of using WMWifirouter so it's kinda pointless but I can recharge it in the car. Maybe I could solder a USB port to the router just to charge. Anyways I use this with my Wii and PS3 and I rarely experince lag online
Hi Guys,
Firstly, I hope this is posted in the correct section.
Secondly, My name is Mark, and I've followed this site/forum for a few years now, and have successfully rooted 2 old phones (HTC Nexus One & HTC One S) thanks to all the information and guides right here on xda-developers.
Thirdly, is my issue: (the back-story) [tried, tested & failed alternatives]
At work, we've recently invested in a WiFi Internet Radio, to take advantage of the tens of thousands of stations compared to the 20 or so offered on DAB/FM. Getting it connected to the internet however has been a struggle.
The offices Wired & Wireless LAN networks are locked by a pin, which nobody knows, or will give out, this network is for official business use only, by the companies own equipment. Also network tabs in the computers control panel are blocked, so these pins are completely unobtainable. There is a WiFi hotspot nearby, this is setup and ran by "The Cloud" (aka Sky). When we try to connect to this network directly from the radio, it asks for a pin, however to use these hot spots you have to register a username & password on a browser to be granted access, again, not possible with the radio. 3G/4G is very limited in the building due to the location of the building, and (we think) a chrome window tint that runs all the way around the building, We've tried, the radio can find and connect to the phone, but the phone can't connect to the internet via 3g. Even if 3g was good, it'd be very data consuming to be running radio over portable WiFi hotspot for 52 hours a week.
So what I want to do, if it's possible, is to share my WiFi connection (to the hotspot) over WiFi or USB (to the radio), using my phone as a WiFi repeater/modem in between. Or perhaps there's another alternative I've missed? I'm not overly sure on the ins and outs of usb modems and other networking hardware.
The phone is a Sony Xperia Z2 (currently not rooted, but willing to root if needs be to make this work)
The radio is a Roberts Stream 93i (has WiFi, ethernet & USB)
And in case anyone mentions, there is a STRICT ban on phones, ipods (and anything that connects to the internet) due to the confidential nature of our work, if this wasn't the case we'd just of bought a pair of speakers and streamed the internet radio on our phones.
Thanks for your help, I've been searching high & low for 3 straight days now!

is the radio for the employees to enjoy, or is it being hooked into the building for customer/clients?
if it could be considered to the benefit of customers/clients, just get in touch with IT and see if they have a solution for you. (creating an exception on the netowrk for the radio, maybe?)
If you are simply trying to fly under the radar, and get the thing running, then it sounds like you might be out of luck.
so, you are saying plugging it into an ethernet port, it won't obtain access to the net?
plugging it into a known working port, it also won't work?
you could, try bringing in your own wifi router, plugging that into an open ethernet port (wan) and then see if it grabs net through that.
as i read your previous post, it leads me to believe that there is a PIN you need to input for WIFI & LAN... kind of strange for LAN
