HTC Polaris has included WLAN, so my Question can the Device can be used as a WLAN USB Stick, to connect the PC with the Internet (Router or Modem Connection).

My PC is far away from the Router so i dont want LAN Cable at all. Is WLAN possible via Mobile

Hmm... In theory it should work over ActiveSync/Windows Mmbile Device Center since WLAN is one adapter and AS/WMDC is another adapter.
But you'd need some kind of router software for polaris to route requests from AS/WMDC-Adapter over WLAN-Adapter to your internet modem or router.

Don't know if such software exists. I'm afraid you have to google for it by yourself.

I have been testing WMWifiRouter and its great, the latest version 1.11 seems quite stable and I get a good connection speed considering its a mobile. Just make sure you are on an unlimited data plan otherwise you will soon clock up a nasty bill ;o)

Maybe it isn't so, but my understanding of the original question is that he wants to use the Cruise as a simple USB WiFi network card, while getting an internet access using an existing WiFi network. WMWifiRouter seems irrelevant for this task, and even if it can do it, you can probably get a WiFi card (either USB or PCI) for WMWifiRouter's price.

Bottom line - i don't know if this is possible, but even if it is, WiFi cards are too cheap today to make it attractive.

With the original rom it's possible to share web connection to a pc. So it seems really easy and possible to do it. Just connect your polaris to the web using wifi and then share the connection with a usb cable. That's all.

What app to share? Internetsharing share connection from cellula line only.

It was internet sharing. So if it's really not an option I don't no any. Cya
