TyTN as a wireless router

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...
benOne

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.

Internet through USB from PC

Hi All,
I have searched the forums but can't find anything on my specific issue. I used to have an XDA Orbit and if I connected it via USB I could use my PC's internet connection. Is there anyway I can do this with my shiny new G1. The reason I’m asking is I have bugger all reception at work and the Wi-Fi is located in another building, which is too far away.
Please help!

Hi,
My above post has been moved here but im not trying to connect my pc to the internet using my phone, im trying to conect my phone to the internet through my PC.
As far as I can see this post does not apply to my question, can somebody please help? I can't be the only one this applies to!

If the computer has wifi and is connected to the internet through wired network it can be done...
Is this your case?

My work PC doesn't have Wi-Fi. My home PC does though.
All I want is for my G1 to be able to use my computers internet conection via USB. My old XDA Orbit used to be able to do it via active sync.
i.e I can surf the web on my phone using USB connection as the access point
Any ideas?

As far as I know this probably will not work, but you can try reversing the port forward technique with ADB

Why would you want to surf the web through the phone when you have a PC on the other end of that wire which does the same thing, but better?

Several reasons that i can think of
1? Bad reception indoors, so i can waste time at work by downloading useless apps on my G1, and everyone thinks im working.
2? My cell provider charges me for internet bandwith usage (per kb/mb), im cheap and don't wanna pay them.
3? I'm a massochist, and enjoy using the G1's browser more than firefox(bleh!)
4? I'm running out of reasons now
All this hypothetically could be hypothetical.
Yup, im bored at work

Exactly, item 1 sums it up. I have no reception at work so if I have a data connection I can get email notifications and test out my apps. I can't believe no one else is missing this feature. On my xda I had it set up to sync with my various email accounts etc. It wouldn,t be a problem if tmobile's reception wasn't so poor!

I would assume it is possible but would have to forward ports from your computer to the phone, similar to how the thetherbot app forwards ports from the phone to the computer. But I may be wrong that could be a one way street for data.

Wow...you are a masochist As much as I like the browser on the g1 compared to other phones..I just don't see why you'd always want to use it instead of a PC

I don't want to surf the web on the G1 when right infront of me I have a PC. I simply want it to have a reliable data connection when I'm at work. As I have no signal from t bloody mobile and no wifi!
Nobody made a sync application similar to MS ActiveSync?

Why would we make something that is already built in?

ohh forget it. Your obviously not reading what i've written.

No you obviously haven't paid attention.
Why would we create something to sync our phone to our computer when it does it all OTA. On top of this how did you expect it to sync our calendar and such when it is all proprietary?
What exactly do you want "sync'd"?
And once again... I am sure you could figure it out if you read up on adb forward commands.

As my first post says I have no reception at work at all, this means I go all day without being able to sync my various email accounts etc. I would also like to be able to demo what our device can do to my collegues. unfortunately i don't understand adb or indeed know what it stands for and as I have no programming knowledge i thought I would speak with people that do.
I will try to figure it out for myself and post my findings here. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks it would be useful.

I'm also looking for some solution to use my Laptop's internet connection on my G1 via USB. The reason for this is I have a very weak neighbors wifi and only my Laptop can connect to it. I am writing android apps that need to connect to the internet.

you could set up an adhoc connection on the computer and connect to it on the g1 then bridge the networks

unfortunately my work PC does not have a Wi-Fi card so this wouldn't work. damn it whys it so complicated!?! :-(

You could just buy a router.

Share home internet connexion in Wifi

Hi everyone,
Today, I try to share my ADSL internet connexion in Wifi via my HD2 but in vain.
What I'd like to do is to share the internet connexion from my PC to my HD2 with USB cable and then to share this connexion by Wifi to others PC or PPC. i-e, to use my HD2 as a really router-wifi will do.
Do you guys have already done this?
thank you

You can't do it mate. The wifi router on the HD2 will ONLY route its own data connection. You need a wifi router for you want. Sorry.

ok,
but anyone knows a software which can handle it? or at least, is it possible to share the connexion from the computer to the HD2? Or do I have to forget about it right now?

Sorry mate, but yeah. Forget about it. I'd say that I'd eat my phone if anyone ever finds a way of doing that, but I just can't bring myself to even imagine eating my lovely HD2

thank you
brain cleared !

Hi dude, are you ready to eat your lovely HD2
I found that software : wmwifirouter (actually someone told me to use it)
and it does exactly what I want.
Here is the tip to made the connexion working : link
there is a 21 days trial version and then the software is 19.99€
I want to see the video of you eating your phone on youtube... (Just kidiing )
PS : since I am a new user, I can't post outside links. Where can I ask to change that ? thank you

You can only connect one device at a time though..

That changes when you've made a few more posts. Not sure exactly how many, but it's not a lot. (I've got 7 in my head for some reason, but it may be 10).

There's only 8 posts above yours. Surely that's not too much for you to read yourself? The answer is 3 posts up from yours.

Yes, but i don't understand quite well. Corect me if i am wrong, WMWifiRouter is software for Cell phone, I need software for PC or an explanation how to. My PC is an acces point. Under Win 7 i created a wireless network connection (I have Asus P5K-E WI FI AP MB) and connected my HD2 but when i start opera i get error massage about connection.

Well, I did it. Now I can connect to PC by my Leo and browse internet through my PC WiFi connection and ADSL modem
No extra charge!
It is quite simple under win 7.
One should first make bridge connecton between Local area connection and Wireless network connection. IP adresses should be configured manualy.
In phone first activate Wi-Fi, go to advanced>>change network>>computer-to-computer>>network adapters>>Broadcom802.11 DHD Network adapter and set IP according to PC. Then go to connections and set IP also.

You can even do simpler, you just need to right-click on your LAN connection, select properties, advanced, click share connection, connect your wifi connection in the dropdown below if it appears. IP can be dynamic in this case, the PC willmake a DHCP server.
It's not what the original poster wanted to do though. He wanted to use the HD2 basically as an "outgoing" USB wifi adapter for a PC that doesn't have one.

Nope. I don't see that dropdown menu. But, never mind. I have one question for you, I can't browse directory structure of my PC from phone or to connect to PC as a client. Is there any program for that, or an explanation. Tnx.

[Q] How to use the WIFI off you'r computer

Hi there Im not too new or anything i just don't tend to post very often. Anyways on to my question, my Vibrant doesn't seem to connect to my wireless router which is in my parents house atleast 75ft away. But my laptop does. Is there anyway i can connect to my laptop and use its WIFI? Is there an app or maybe an internet sharing option. I've looked around online but haven't really seen any good tutorials on this topic. thanks again in advance.

Yes, you can share the internet from your computer. Which OS are you using? Windows calls this "internet connection sharing".
Here's a tutorial for XP

Mr. kardes4 you didn't get the Mr. neo1691's point.
He want to access the Internet of his PC/laptop into his Galaxy without using Wifi
And this mobile ap let's to share the Internet of our Galaxy's "Internet" over PC/Laptop. and he want Vice-Versa.
Mr. neo1691 want the app that make the USB of Galaxy turn into the LAN kind of wire. And if we plug in the USB into our Galaxy, the PC/Laptop's internet starts working on the PHONE.
Right Mr. neo1691.

It can be done with changing a wifi card to Access Point mode, but you don't have any, right?
Through USB... hmm, you will need an USB Host option, but our CPU doesn't support that.
BT it can work, but I don't see any post to proove that. I know it can be done at SE P990. If you're an programmer, write app for that

Nice thread..
even me too searching for the same from long time..
but apart from wifi no solution got till yet..
Its a positive point for Windows phone, that we can use Internet connection via USB cable in that without any external setting / problem..

use internet on galaxy 3 via pc?laptop
Hi evry1 ...
m using Samsung Galaxy 3 5801..
if it is possible to access internet through my pc/laptop pls tell me step by step procedure to do so..
Thanks in advance

Till date what i found via all forums that its not possible to share Internet via USB to Android..
looking forward for any positive response from senior member's...

Hey guys... i just stumbled upon some article in the newspaper that u can use ur laptop as a wifi router to share internet connection with your mobile devices..!!!!!
is it possible guys..!!!!
i am keepin my fingers crossed

Yes you can do that but not via USB.
what you need:
1. a laptop or pc with wifi adapter.
2. win 7. (this is not for vista and XP)
3. a tool like "Connectify" that is free.
this is very simple, just follow the instructions from "Connectify".
Good luck

Well, as far as I know there is no software to do it for you.
But still you have an option, you must set up an "ad hoc" network connection.
this will share Internet over your wifi or wireless LAN adapter.
Its not hard to do that just Google the "ad hoc" for instruction.

Connectify is working with win 7!
probably your problem is from the wifi setting of the cell phone.
For the other software (I'm not sure) but you can try virtual router.
and ... Internet from USB? I don't think it's possible yet because we need an enabled USB Host mode phone.
I think some people are working on that but it's still way to go.
