wifi on nike

[vishal.kulkarni82]

hey guys,
sorry to start a new thread but couldnt just find a thread where i could ask this question. Let me know if i did a mistake. will not do again...

frankly have been using Niki100 for almost 6 months now and pretty frustrated with no wifi on it. Place were i stay we dont have 3G yet so need to work on edge... very slow and dont enjoy much....

reading the forum got to know a lot of people tried on this but not yet succeeded...i also got an idea that may be in Niki100 they probably dont have a wifi hardware..

i have a Htwc wizard that is not yet bricked and the wifi works...

is their anyway we could get the wifi chip from the wizard into the Niki100 with the drivers somehow and get it to work...

might sound stupid but was a genuine query...

thanks for the reply in advance...

Niki have wifi, but is locked, and seems there is no way to unlock it without any datasheet. Also there is no antenna for it.

And how would you suppose to have the wifi "chip" transferred onto a completely different model, PCB layout etc..? By just soldering? :)
Wifi isn't just a single chip, it's a chip on a PCB with other chips connected to it in a specific way, conencted to a wifi antennae in a specific way etc etc..

If you really read the other threads, you would have noticed that the problem at this time is the driver/software to get the hardware already present running properly..

So your solution would be to add completely different hardware, if that were at all possible with the completely different circuitboard layout and components, and write software for that specific hardware from scratch when the community isn't as of yet able to get software working for hardware already present..? I would say the chances of getting that working would be really slim.. And then i would be optimistic. :P
