How to teather your Omnia via Wifi

[cbusguy23]

This is really cool. Basically you can make your omnia a wireless hotspot and teather to your laptop. Very much like pdanet but no cord, no software to install on your laptop, and best of all its free!

1. Download/Install the attached "ICSInstall.CAB" file.
   (You may not need to do 2 - 6 but this is how I got it to work.)
2. Restart your phone.
3. Test the install by Connecting the USB cable to your computer.
4. Then run "IntShrUI" from the Programs Menu and select "Connect".
5. If done correctly the program should display "Connected".
6. Now select "Disconnect" and disconnect the USB cable.
7. Download/Install the attached "WMWifiRouter91.CAB" file.
8. Restart your phone.
9. Turn on Wifi.
10. Run WMWifiRouter from the Programs Menu.
11. Select "Connect"
12. If done correctly the program should display "Connected to WMWifiRouter Ready".
13. From your computer search for the "WMWifiRouter" wireless connection.
14. Now have fun surfing the web from anywhere.

*You may need to restart your phone and repeat steps 10 - 14 a few times to get it to work.

Yes..i'll work

Told my boss I wasn't feeling was going to work from home for the morning and would be in around lunch.
Thanks to WMwifirouter this is where I'm really working from.
Nice breeze, sun looks beautiful shining off the lake, shady trees allow me to still use my laptop, and I thought about listening to some music but the birds just sound so nice... I might have to figure out a way to do this more often...

Thanks for the post... is it possible to password protect the wifi?

[cbusguy23]

Sorry not that I know of. A little hint after you are done tethering you may find that WIFI is no longer an option under Wireless manager. To get it back open wifirouter and select "crash cleanup" after that is finished do a soft reset and it should be back.

Also has anyone found a better way to do this? I just had to do a hart reset and as I'm going through the process of reinstalling all my old programs I'm wondering if there is a better program for tethering. I've found that wifirouter works pretty well but it can be buggy at times too.
