What is the best program out for this? i heard about wififofum and wmwifirouter
anyone actually use a program to do this now? which one are you using? and how well does it work?

I am going to be getting rid of my data card for my laptop with use of verizon's vzmanager.

Thanks to dcd, i love this phone, gps gets a lock in 5 seconds vs the ppckitchen.orgs builds.

now i just need this setup as a wifirouter and this 500.00 phone will pay for itself woop

I have never used WiFiFoFum, but I do use WMWIFIRouter all of the time. Works as promised and the Mogul even has decent transmitting range.

I have done speed tests with WMWIFIRouter and I still get 1.5mbps on speedtest.net

cool thanks! I am checking it out now. I am also checking out internet sharing, never figured out how it works but got it to work pretty easy

1.) soft reset
2.) goto internet sharing
3.) choose usb for pc connect (but dont plug in the usb cable yet) and choose data network connect
4.) pressed connect
5.) pluged in usb cable (status is now connected, the soft reset was the key)

gonna test out internet connection now.

I am having issues trying to use the WiFi router application. It's starts up but I can't seem to find it when I search for network on my laptop. I have a tilt and it works just fine from that.

Any one else have any idea's?

Thanks for the help

Well the new WMWifirouters suck, but here is the one i use, just make sure you have your titans wifi on when trying to connect using wmwifirouter

I'm having a similar problem, trying to connect either my PSP or my laptop (with 802.11b only). After starting up WMWFR, it says connected and ready, but neither of my devices can find it (this is with the version of the app that was just posted last week.

The newest and latest versions of WMWifirouter actually work a billion times better than that old ass version, Also give some love to the dev by buying the app he has put hundreds of thousands of hours into the app

apparently the PSP won't even connect with the commercial version, so never mind

plus, I think you might be exaggerating the "hundreds of thousands of hours" just a bit :)

I've used WmWifiRouter for 8 months now, since close to its conception, and I can say without a doubt that I wouldn't try anything else. The new v1.2 will be coming out soon with the new core, which does not use the Internet Connection Sharing software with WM and makes it much faster and more stable. This is currently in beta testing, and will be released as a public beta in the next few weeks.

I have NEVER paid a tethering charge, and I can say it's well worth the small amount of money to get on board with this one.

WmWifiRouter works well, but it drains the battery very very.. fast via the WIFI...

o rly?

Even if he only put 100,000 hours into it, this would mean he had a Windows Mobile 6 device with Wi-Fi back in 1997 and started work on it back then.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good app, and he DID put a lot of effort into it, but there is no need to worship him ;)

oh right might not be hundreds of thousands of hours but I know he's put a shitload of time into the app. I'm not workshiping him but I know how hard he's worked to put out a good product

I think the newer version of WMWiFiRouter permanently kills WiFi on my Titan. I've had to replace my Mogul twice, and it's worked before installing the proggy, never after. Even after a hard reset, or new ROM.
