Phone as Wifi access point.

[Jewcookie]

Is there a way to let my phone work as an access point?

I want to go online with my (Nintendo) DS on the road. The DS only connects to an access point and cannot make an Adhoc connection.

This is what i had in mind:
DS --(wifi)--> TyTn 2 --(HSDPA)--> Internet.

Try searching WMWifiRouter. I haven't tried it yet with my Tytn II, but it worked fine with my older Universal.

Hmm it works with the TyTn 2, but the Nintendo DS is not supported. :(

Reported to not work:
Nintendo DS
Nintendo Wii
PlayStation 3
Unable to connect to a device providing internet using ad-hoc mode.
PlayStation Portable
Unable to connect to a device providing internet using ad-hoc mode.

Thats a very confusing last post. IMO.

Once you turn your phone into a wifi access point then I would think any wifi device could work with it. It's the 802.11? standard .. I read through the thread and didn't see anything saying specifically that the DS doesn't work. Does it have Wifi?

Sadly it won't work. Tried to get my PSP connected too with no luck.

Can you connect to an Adhoc device, that might be the problem.

Try changing some settings around

On WMWifiRouter go to Options >> cellular connections > & make sure Media Net is checked. Also make sure the following settings are checked on the Configuration:

Force ad-hoc only
Wifi power boost (optional) - May heat up your phone though
Unattended Mode
Use DHCP allocator
DMZ

Under Network setup check to see if security is enabled (try to disable it or enable whatever you feel is best & i reccommend you enable it). These settings worked for me.

I thought the same thing. Only it doesn't work this simple i think.. The DS finds my phone as router and see the signal strength. I can connect to it and fill in the WEP key. But when i try to connect to the internet the connection is gone and is shown as no signal.

You can read on the supported devices page that the DS, PSP Wii, etc are unfortunatly not supported. :(
