"WifiExtender" ---------CLOSED UNITL FUTHER NOTICE

WIFI EXTENDER HAS BEEN PUT ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Keep Tuned in for updates.

bad ass! what about xbox 360? I hope this works with treo 800w. This would be awesome, id donate quick!

Now that would be fantastic, that's one of the things that keeps me from getting WiFiRouter...

great idea - cant wait to try it.
Are there any teaser screen shots yet?

me too.....I feel exactly the same way. This would be the shiznit for me. Would this allow multiple consoles to connect to simultaneously?...i.e.(2 or more psp's)
you typed you were only able to play NCAA 08 with the PS3...have you been able to play any online psp games?

OMFG.....lol......i never thought id hear such great news, i just got a psp last and have been trying to find something like this.....everyone has said it was noy possible due to the way the psp connects to the internet....will you guys have a donation link available as well....cuz this would def b worth a couple of my dollars

good luck!!!!

Any Update Yet???
No explanation why "WIFI EXTENDER HAS BEEN PUT ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE" not S**t sucks probably was never a working program

i know the wii and DS both do not support ad-hoc networking, and will not connect to an ad-hoc setup (i spent hours trying everything i could think of to get it to work, and nothing). that'd be epic if you guys solved that.

good luck...cant wait!

Cant wait
hopefully all is well and they get this app released as scheduled tonite......im so anxious to see how this works

Best News iv Heard all WeeK
WooHoo Iv Been Looking for a application like this i Cant WaiT als0

Oh my gawd~~!, i can not wait for this, as i finally got my new PSP, (Old one i gave to my sister). This well be an amazing addition to a lot of what Ive been frustratingly always finding myself wanting. Thanks a mega bunch!, and good luck.

But i must ask.. the technical aspect of this "WifiRouter" you guys are making. If the PS3 and PSP cant connect to an ad-hoc network, how are u rejiggering an app to make our phones broadcast a Infrastructure SSID? or is it just a modded Ad-Hoc SSID? Really i dont have any idea, tis why i ask

MAYB ITS GONNA BE LIKE THAT XLINK KAI PROGRAM.
But When you run RoadDog on the PSP With WM WifiRouter Active it does detect and shows signal strenth and adds it to your network connect but psp without roaddog does not disconnect

where do i test?

.....maybe tomoro...lol....

to the guy asking about xbox 360 support...360 already works wiw wmwifirouter
im certainly interested in the outcome of this... i currently use a tmobile web and walk ICSed thru a laptop as my main internet connection... every bar the ps3 works
since i have webnwalk max for both my mobile contract and the usb dongle, this could be the solution to my ps3 online woes

wow umm no? most of what u said made almost no sense.
Yes road dog may be able to see it, but that doesn't mean we can connect to it. so that was irrelevant.
as for the comparison, if it well be something like Xlink kai, your incredibly wrong. were not tunneling any special packets. We are tunneling an internet connection.. but that's not the point.

Thanks for even attempting to find a fix for this program. When i first found out about it, i almost jumped out of my seat only to be dissapointed when my ipod touch wouldn't connect to it. Atleast now there is some hope.

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.

Connection sharing pc to android (no tethering

hello,
i would like to know if it is possibile to share my pc connection with my htc legend:
the problem is that in my room my laptop get the wifi but not the phone because it has a really really bad antenna, and i dont want to use 3g data, is it possibile to share my connection from pc to phone? it should act like a wifi repeater or something no idea thank you

A while ago I was looking for the same thing.
Although technically an easy task, it's not yet possible with Stock Android. There is a Google Code forum page confirming that Android as of yet can't see and connect to Ad-Hoc networks. There are some wifi-tools in the market that can at least show them, but none can't make your device connect yet.
Some ROMs seem to have added this option, if you plan to root and flash. I just added a cheapo router, problem solved. ;-)

[Q] Wireless Tethering...

...if this has been covered already I am very sorry. I checked the threads and didn't see anything yet so.....
My computer can't detect my D2 wireless tethering signal. My iPod can but the laptop won't.
Any suggestions?
I am running Windows XP home edition.

NVr4m H4ck
Wireless is wireless...unless its adhock....which sucks ****.
I got my d2 last week and it seems there is ONLY one way to get TRUE 3g hotspot tether your D2/X. THe market aps suck a big **** and even the android "wireless tether" page is filled with adhocs.
THis of course is in regards to wireless only
I tried them all. computer, laptop even my hd2 would not recognize the tehter UNLESS i choose adhoc. Which I call suck****.
Im also dispointed with android as well. There so much android needs to "borrow" from windows or even apple it not even funny. But I wont threadjack. The 3g hotspot thing is verizon being a bunch of greedy f##&$.
I rooted my phone through my pc, I dunno I trust my pc more than my phone, but then again I built my pc. YOu'll have to root , bootstrap busybox and whatever else you gotta do.
Like with ANY alteration to your phone you could brick it so dont come cryin to me. I found this thread by good ole fashoined searching and it works like a charm, no problems.
Read the whole post follow it to the t, dont skipp right to the install READ IT. I got it first try, now my D2 is full 3g genuine wifi router!
Do not set up privacy to WEP. Set to wpa or wpa2.(this was my personal experience wep might be better for what your doing " I know naaaTeeeng!"
Good luck hope this helps.

New Desire Z User. Can't use connectify wifi??

So i just got the phone today. In my home I don't have a router, but my laptop is connected, so i usually use my laptop to open wireless via connectify for other wireless devices in the house.
my old sony ericsson mobile phone uses the wifi fine, so does my NDS and gf's iphone4. however my desirez does not even see the wifi network at all.
i did some googling and it seems android phones do not recognize adhoc networks?? is there some simple steps anyone can help me with now?
i have yet to root my phone, and i really dont want to buy a whole new router just for it. thanks.

For connecting your android to ad-hoc network you need to
root and patch ,but there are other ways too ,you can setup
a virtual router if you are using linux there are lots of tutorials around
that you can follow .if you are using windows 7 you can use connectify me.
you mentioned you are using connectiry did you mean
"connectify me" for windows 7 ?? because if you are using that
your phone should see the network and connect to it with no
problem, because connectify me is NOT an ad-hoc network
it act as a virtual router and thats the hole point to it.

i am using connectify on windows 7, and all my other devices see the connection except my desire Z. Connectify says the mode is Ad-Hoc, WEP.
So, I was wondering if that's why my new phone can't see it?
it's funny because a month ago my brother bought HTC Mozart (win7phone) and he couldnt use my connectify and i thought win7 sucks. well i guess it's HTC that sucks.. since my old sonyericsson and iphone can both catch the signal...
would be really great if there is easy way for me to use it..
right now i basically have to use the USB to let the phone use the internet, since i have no phone plans yet.

Ok this is the problem .you are running connectify in ad-hoc mode and
android doesnt support that .you need to switch the mode to access point instead of ad-hoc and then it will work without any problem.
setup connectify again and choose access point instead of ad-hoc.

oh crap i just checked, seems like my laptop doesnt have a win7 compatible device that allows me to share through access point..
sigh.. all i can do is ad-hoc sharing. are there any other ways?

Buy a cheap router?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.

root your phone and patch it is the easiest method. You'll get other benefits from rooting, and it's quite easy now. there are walkthroughs in the development subforum.

If connectify is sharing your network as adhoc mode, is because your wifi card is not fully supported.
You can get a compatible one for few bucks.
Altenatively google a bit for ad hock enabled mods, but I havent tried that mods on DZ.

so i take my laptop to an electronic shop asking for a win7 compatible wifi card?
how much do they usually cost?
i guess this would be easier than rooting my phone n going through the modifications or buying a new router.

Just look on the connectify site for the compatible chipset list, then you can look @ebay or other online resellers to buy one.
Usually they cost less than 20/25$ but is frequent to find one for something like 5$, maybe used.

fix
replace wpa_supplicant file with this one in /system/bin/

make sure u have a root access. also don't forget to make a backup of your original file.
