Use Wizard's WiFi Connection on PC as a WiFi Netowrk Adapter

Hi All, i'm not sure if this has been mentioned on this forum or if it is even possible, but is it possible to use the wizard's wifi capability's on the pc as a wifi network adapter? I would love it if I could connect my wizard, via usb, to my pc, and use it as a wifi adapter to connect to my router? Thanks!

AFAIK, it works the other way around. When you connect yoiur wizard through USB, it uses yhour computer's internet connection as shuts off its own. I'll let someone else answer this one though.

Possible solution...
I think you can. If you have activesync installed, you can connect your ppc to your laptop/desktop and specify that you can use the desktop's internet connection ("This computer is connected to: Automatic/Work Network/The Internet"). If your laptop has a wifi connection to your router, then you're all set!
Hope this helps!

The thing is that I would like to use the wizard as my wifi connection for my laptop. My laptop does not have built in wireless, so instead of buying a wireless card for my laptop, I would like to use the wizard's built in wifi as a replacement, sorta like a wifi card for my laptop.

in theory it sounds like a good idea, and might even work-- i would like to know how to do this just in case i ever need it.
but in your case, you might want to look at mpci/cardbus wifi adapters, get a good mpci card if your laptop supports it.
i have a intel centrino branded card that came with my dell 600m, i noticed a couple pulls on ebay just like it last week for about $25?
and on the upper hand, if you ever need to break into some locked networks, backtrax2 supports that card fully.

PDA as Wifi USB

Hi all... I have a question: is there a way (a software, a trick....) to use my PDA as a wifi usb adaptor? i want to connect it to mt notebook and connect to a WLAN connected to internet...

i've found the thread with Pocket PC Proxy... do you think u can use it? hoìw can i charge the ip address of activesync?

i think PocketPCProxy uses bluetooth to transfer wifi network, double check it.

I believe this may help you (turns your phone into a wifi hotspot)

good luck

I think he refers not to using his phone to GET the internet through the WIFI card in his computer but to use his cell phone AS the WIFI card for his computer because he doesn't have a card.

Share Mogul's Wi-fi internet to laptop

I have been trying to figure this out for a while now, but just don't know if its possible. I want to connect my Mogul to my computer, and use the Wi-fi on my mogul, to give internet access to my computer. Pretty much the same as tethering my EVDO connection, but this time using the Wi-fi connection on it. Does anyone know how to do this (if it is even possible)? Thanks

Like this?

No, what I want is to connect my mogul to my laptop using a USB cable, and have the mogul connected to my router through wi fi, and make it so I am using my Mogul as a wi fi adapter for my laptop. I don't want to use the EVDO connection.

Buy a wifi adapter!

lol, I already have one, but for some reason it doesnt work with some networks, while i can connect my phone fine through wi fi to the same network. Thats why I want to use my phone as the wi fi adapter, because for some reason, the actual one that i bought doesnt work for some networks.

I'm sure this is possible, but I can't imagine this solution to be convenient! I see a new router in your future!

demand will never be bit for such features as wifi suck the battery dry pretty fast

My phone would be connected to my computer. I am basically trying to turn my phone into a USB wi-fi adapter for my laptop. so as long as my laptop battery doesn't die, then my phones wouldn't either, since usb charges it.

Have you found a solution to this? I have exactly the same problem. I have a mogul that does not have sprint service on it. I have internet service at home and I need to use Mugul's wifi to share it with my laptop computer whose wifi adapter seems not working. In other words, all I want to do is to use Mugul as a USB wifi adpater for my laptop. Mogul can be connected with laptop via either usb cable or bluetooth. Most postings talk about WMwifirouter or PDAnet, but most require sprint data connection. I do not want to use sprint data. Please advise if you have found a solution. Thanks a lot!

I have tried,it works. and if you set the dns in the titan, it will be better.

Polaris as WLAN Stick

HTC Polaris has included WLAN, so my Question can the Device can be used as a WLAN USB Stick, to connect the PC with the Internet (Router or Modem Connection).
My PC is far away from the Router so i dont want LAN Cable at all. Is WLAN possible via Mobile

Hmm... In theory it should work over ActiveSync/Windows Mmbile Device Center since WLAN is one adapter and AS/WMDC is another adapter.
But you'd need some kind of router software for polaris to route requests from AS/WMDC-Adapter over WLAN-Adapter to your internet modem or router.
Don't know if such software exists. I'm afraid you have to google for it by yourself.

WMWifiRouter

I have been testing WMWifiRouter and its great, the latest version 1.11 seems quite stable and I get a good connection speed considering its a mobile. Just make sure you are on an unlimited data plan otherwise you will soon clock up a nasty bill ;o)

Maybe it isn't so, but my understanding of the original question is that he wants to use the Cruise as a simple USB WiFi network card, while getting an internet access using an existing WiFi network. WMWifiRouter seems irrelevant for this task, and even if it can do it, you can probably get a WiFi card (either USB or PCI) for WMWifiRouter's price.
Bottom line - i don't know if this is possible, but even if it is, WiFi cards are too cheap today to make it attractive.

With the original rom it's possible to share web connection to a pc. So it seems really easy and possible to do it. Just connect your polaris to the web using wifi and then share the connection with a usb cable. That's all.

What app to share? Internetsharing share connection from cellula line only.

It was internet sharing. So if it's really not an option I don't no any. Cya
