Hi,

Was just wondering if the polaris can be used as a WIFI adapter for PC?

i.e. using the wifi capabilities of the phone to connect to internet on the pc.

Thanks

hi I think what you are looking for is wmwifirouter - google that and will bring you to there homepage. Not only does that but can do other sort of tethering as well eg - 3g to bluetooth, 3g to pc, wifi to pc, and others.

Hmm, so with this program, basically I can connect via the following illustration?

wifi router ----wireless---> polaris ----USB---> PC?

The site you sent to me sounds moe like making the smartphone into a router.. Though, i may be wrong.. :)

Thanks though!

hi yes it does both though i believe to do what you are asking the computer has to have internet sharing enabled someone correct me if i"m wrong, but I have done this myself when i was playing with this program and had it working although i have only done this once as i use the program to make the polaris a wifi router.
