hi
try getting the wifibuddy from the Market and use it on ur phone
it works for me
Hello,
my Tattoo also connects to every wifi point except the one at home, with which I have no problems at all using my 2 laptops and a PS3! To be precise, it gets connected but there is no data transfer at all. I've tried various roms and 3rd party software including wifibuddy that haree suggested, but still no luck.
So what else is there to try?
Thanks in advance!

Anybody used the wi-fi router option on the hd2 to connect their pc to internet? I have startet the application and it says running, but no wi-fi router is found on mine or my colleagues computers. I tried the same thing with the wifi hotspot app for iphone, and that worked as a charm.
Just wondering if anyone else has got it working at all?

Well, now it works like a dream! Dont know what was wrong earlier today, but a couple soft restarts seems to have made it work!
thanks for all replies
Mine's an O2 phone that came without the WiFi Router app installed on the ROM. I downloaded and installed Tom Condon's HTC WiFi cab from and it works well. The only thing that I don't have (yet) is the shortcut to the WiFi Router app from the Comm Manager interface.

Is this the one from the Bowman Pack? I have installed this and it doesn't work. Can you give a link to the cab you installed? Ta!
*Edit....this *does* work but the range is abysmal, the HD2 has to be sat on top of my laptop in order for it to work.

I heard O2 ripped the wifi app and drivers out of their ROM (not 100% sure). If thats the case you could always flash the Official HTC ROM which will restore wifi, clear a load of horrible O2 branding and add Youtube app Check out this Tutorial on how to do it.
By the way I've use the Wifi app and my Linux and Windows PC/laptops can all detect and connect to the phone. Handy if your out of cable...but unsecure due to WEP.

I had the YouTube app on my O2 ROM. I've now flashed with the latest official HTC ROM and WiFi Router is now fully installed.
I've found that name of Wi-Fi router needs no space !!! so, my computer could found it now...
been using wifi tethering with win7 64bit laptop no probs - nice function to have.
I tried to use, but can't see it neither in a XP nor a Vista!!!
my computer could'nt see it too
I could see and connect but no connectivity to the internet
Assigning IP took about 1 min
I can confirm it works fine for me, on an unbranded device.
It worked for me but only when I switched off my home broadband wifi router.

They may have been using the same channel, which would mean that the stronger signal would drown out the weaker one. I'd expect a home router to have a stronger signal so that would make sense. You can change the channel that your home wifi router uses, if this is an issue for you.
Hi, I installed the HTC Wifi Tether app on a stock US HD2 Rom, but none of my devices can get an internet signal - sometimes I can see it and it says connected, but web browsing does not work.
I used wifi tether on my G1 for the last year, so I thought this would be as easy - no luck so far.
I also tried the WMWifiTether app, but with the same results.
Any help is appreciated - this is somewhat of a deal breaker for me if I can't get tethering working. Thanks

Uninstall that app. Install "omarket" from http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/omarket/
Install "Mobile Wi-Fi Router"
It will be listed under: Settings-->Menu-->All Settings-->Connections-->Wifi Internet Sharing .
This works perfectly on my T-Mobile US HD2. )
p.s. If this does not work, you may have some crap from the HTC wifi app still sticking around. Do a factory reset and install the omarket app.
Wi-Fi Router works fine for me.
T-Mobile UK has Wi-Fi Router as app in start menu.
Works perfect wit my Windows Laptop and my MacBook Air despite T-Mobile saying the HD2 won't "tether" with Apple (and it doesn't).
I ran 3 PC's from just the one phone, amazing, even managed to watch some catchup TV on MacBook using Wi-Fi Router. Just set it up on the phone and then simply look for wireless point... your own WiFi Zone.

I tried that, I tried changing the name o fhte network, and I have soft and hard reset between installing different wifi tether apps. Same thing every time - my pc will see it, connect, but no internet. My other device can sometimes see it, sometimes not. I'm at wit's end, because I can still use the same account with my G1 to tether, and that works flawlessly. This and other problems I am having with the HD2 make me feel like I am in microsoft bug territory now. ugh. With any luck, we'll have either windows phone 7 and / or android soon.
Make sure there's no spaces in the wifi network name and make sure your computer is set up to take a DHCP address on wireless rather than static.
hi every body. i've just bought new T-mobile and i tried alot of adroid verson ( matt, SC...) but i cant share internet from my laptop to hd2 by usb connection ( i'm using HTC sync)..
i want to do this..please help me...
thanks all..
I dont know what happen but when ppp went live usb tethering stopped working. Everyone uses wifi tether now.
Your laptop doesnt have wifi?
I asked a similar question sometime ago, please check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772244
The conclusion was: if you want to use your laptop's internet on the HD2 (in some kind of reverse tethering), the best is to use a software like VirtualRouter or Connectify to make an Acess Point from your wifi card that your HD2 can easily connect to. I am sorry, but there's not an easy USB solution like you have for Windows Mobile. I hope one day they to it, though.
You shouldnt need any special extra software. It just might be something that doesnt work in the kernal at the moment.
Native android devices can do it aslong as they are rooted.
Lets not say it isnt possible as that makes android sound gimp
My problem is: in my room..wifi is only enough for my lap ( HD2 can connect the wifi but because the wifi signal too weak...) and i'm using internet in my lap by wifi...so i cant using wifi tethering...hic....any solution??

when i using internet in my lap by wifi , how can i still using my wifi in my lap to share to my android HD2??
I just got an HD2 (flashed windows 7) and when I try connecting it to my home network, it will say connecting and then after a while it shows "Connection Unsuccessful"
I have a linksys wrt610n router, and i even tried resetting the router but still the problem persists.
First I thought it might be a phone issue, but it was connecting perfectly fine to the local library's hotspot and a starbucks hotspot. So that means, it's definitely something wrong with my house network that it won't let me connect.
All the other devices : ipod touch, laptop, xbox 360, connect fine to the network.
Please help me with this issue, as I am using HD2 without a data plan so without wifi,i cant fully use the functionalities of hd2.
Thanks.
Is your ssid hidden? Wp7 has troubles with that, you could try the wp7 section without sounding cocky, there is a couple of threads mate about it, more help in there.

Yeah, even before flashing the rom the same problem existed. I think it's something wrong with my network, as I am able to connect perfectly fine with at a starbucks hotspot.
And no it's not hidden. The networks visible and the name of the network is with spaces -> cow boy , does that make a difference?
do you have mac filtering or anything turned on liked that in the router setup ??
do you have any crazy characters in the password like %^& ??? that could be a prob not sure also check these out looks like it could be a sd card problem, have you ever had it connect using android or winmo 6.5???

Hi all,
I seem to have some problems with setting my Wi-Fi Router. I sometimes need it for my work, so i can use that Wi-Fi for my portable. I can set it up, but theres no chance i can find the wi-fi. I already tried with different types of portables with no luck. When a guy from my work does it on his HTC HD2 then i can find his wi-fi? Anyone any idea?
I haven't installed a custom rom. Its all ROM's from HTC itself.
