WMwifirouter vs Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

[muks11]

I have recently started using my diamond a a modem to connect to my netbook to the net via usb. When using the standard ICS utility on the phone and having a HSDPA connection, internet pages would load really slowly and would timeout but when I installed the WMwifirouter and started using it I had no problems with the connection speed.

Anyone know why the WMwifirouter has a better connection???

Anyone know how to improve the ICS so its the same as WMwifirouter??

Thanks in advance

This is just my take.

ICS scenario:

3G network> phone > USB > PC

WMwifirouter scenario:

3G network> phone > Wifi > PC

For both protocols the three of the four are the same. The only difference is that Wifi connection to PC is a lot faster than USB connection to PC.

So, to answer your question, ICS CANNOT be FIXED, to be as fast as WMwifirouter.

Both ICS and WMwifirouter are connected through USB so I dont understand why one is quicker than the other. Something is definetly up with my ICS program.

WMWIFIRouter doesn't use usb. It broadcasts your internet like a wireless router. Your netbook probably just had wlan turned on and automatically connected while you thought it was using the usb.

NO. Wmwifi router does not use USB. Disconnect it and you will see.

I am using the latest version of WMwifirouter and it has 3 options on how to connect external devices: wifi, bluetooth and USB. I am using the USB option to connect my diamond to my netbook. I'm sure the wifi on my diamond is turned off when I have connected.

ICS app seems to be working fine now. Not sure if by installing the WMwifi router it changed some of the settings.

Also there is now a free app for Wifi router by HTC. See the coolsmartphone website for details.

I use my phone for connecting to internet all the time, and the problems i had with nokia e51 were the main reason i switched to touch diamond. I recommend usb connection because creating and broadcasting wifi signal drains your battery drastically and it also makes your phone generate ALOT of heat. At least thats how it was with nokia where i used joikuspot (usb and bluetooth kept disconnecting) it was pain in the ass.

so USB > WiFi for longterm use
