Default [Q] X8 can be worked as Wifi router or not?

Would like to ask if anyone install and work with the wifi router app successfully in X8 after rooting the official Android 2.1 ROM? I am planning to buy it, see if anyone has tried it before or not. Thanks a lot!

Wifi is pretty weak on X8. Processing signal and forwarding it it's too much for a small phone like this.
(I didn't find any wifi router software)

Thanks for your feedback, because one of my plan is using it as wifi hotspot for other device to connect to internet~

Barnacle works flawlessly in mine! You'll need it rooted of course.

I guess it's sharing 3g internet over wi-fi, right? I don;t have it and doesn't work.
