Hi,
I don't have wifi at home, but I wanna do some surfing on my laptop, without being connected to Internet with wires.
So I got an idea: why don't I use the wifi router program on my HD2? I can connect it to my desktop computer (it's connected to the internet with a wire), and then turn it into a wifi router. But apparently it only works with GPRS to Wifi, not Active Sync to wifi.
Is it possible to do?

So you are trying to do this:
PC -> HTCHD2 (Wifi Router)-> Laptop
Sorry I'm not sure if you can do that.
If you have 3G, it should be sufficient and you can charge the phone while using it as a router. Hopefully someone else can spread more light on this subject.

Hello,
I have internet on my Desktop PC and connect it using the cable to my hd2 through active sync.
so I want to use the HD2 router to connect my laptop to this internet connection. However, when I open the router I cannot rout the active sync. connection but I can only rout the internet from my service provider or 3g which i dont want.
I hope you can help me solve this issue because I really want to use internet on my laptop using my Desktop PC connection through my HD2.
uppppp please anyone answer me
any body wanna answer
So you want your internet connection through usb
I dont believe the wifi router software is capable of routing wifi connections to the usb connection. Only to teh mobile data connection. Perhaps there is other hotspot software that can do this, but the built in one wont. (unless i'm dead wrong, but fairly sure not)
maybe this is what you are searching: http://www.wmwifirouter.com/download/WMWifiRouter-International.cab
Im using the wifirouter with no issue, works well with my data plan!
Alright, did the usual searches and have the usual answers wich don't seem to pertain to what i'm doing.
I have one static connection allowed to wifi router. I wish to use phone to share this connection with more than one device not using mobile data but the broadband connection.
Basically connect phone to broadband wifi. Have devices connect to phone to share wifi.
Again, to prevent any confusion: I do not want to share mobile connection on phone. I wish to share wifi connection with other devices from phone. ie. I have only one connection allowed to router and I wish to use phone to share that connection with PC and PS3.
Sorry for redundancy in stating this but people seem to miss the point or not read and suggest applications like Barnacle wich only share mobile internet or USB tethering wich only works for PC.
Well from what I understand Wi-Fi must be off on phone in order to create the Wi-Fi signal on the phone so this may be impossible

I know exactly what you are saying, and I am pretty sure it is impossible. I currently have wi-fi service where I have to log in, with only 1 device allowed log in at a time. When you turn on the wi-fi hotspot on your phone, it automatically turns your wi-fi off. You can only use the hotspot feature using your data connection over 3g or 4g. I have tried everything. If you are in the same situation, where you can only log one device on the internet connection, you may want to try spoofing your IP. Change the IP on the other devices to the IP on your phone. This may allow you to log the other devices in as well (so I have read). That may be your only option.
Yeah looks like Im going to connect PC and use an ethernet cable with connection sharing to get PS3 to work. Phone will have to use mobile data unless PC and PS3 arent being used.
Or phone gets wifi and USB tethered to pc and then connection shared (not sure this will work).
sharing wifi connection
I have done this using a Buffalo WLI-TX4-G54HP ethernet converter. You connect to the wireless source (WAP) then it acts like a router and allows you to plug devices into it, has four ports but you could use a switch if more are needed. Each device aquires an IP from the converter and is hidden to the WAP, looks like one device is connected. Pretty easy to setup. Check it out.
I'm not talking about using my phones wifi to connect my phone to my home network. I got my internet shut off for a couple of days and want to use my phone as my internet for my house until I get cable back on. I know I could turn on the wifi tethering and have my devices use that but what I am trying to do is different. I have one of my roku players disengaged from my home network (an accident) and it will not reconnect to it (so I can stream my files from my PC) because when it goes through the testing on the roku it cannot access the internet on the home network, so it won't connect to my home network. My theory is that if I can connect my phone to my router, my roku will be able to connect to my home network because it will now have internet connectivity. I just don't know how to do it if its even possible.
I hope that makes sense.
I have a dlink dir-632 wireless n router, if it helps.
My friend u can use Commview for Wifi is google it and i think it will work for you. If u have any doubt pm me

Thx but that's not going to help me with what I want to do. That's a packet sniffer/wireless network monitor software.
Hey guys
Im having trouble with connectify and connecting my galaxy SII
When I set up my WPA2 connection and connect to it my phone connects to it but there is no internet connection. Sometimes there is like 5 sec of connection then it goes away. My firewall and anti-virus are disabled.
My iPad and other phones also cant connect.

Hope to understand you correctly.
You have got issues to connect your phone (SGS2), your iPad and other phones to your WLAN (wifi access point, router or what ever)?
Then it seems to be a problem in the configuration of your access point, and not an issue of your SGS2.
Maybe you have enabled MAC address filtering or static IP addresses?!
Weird thing happened between my laptop and my s2 , i can connect to my home wifi using phone but can't surf internet when my laptop is connecting on my home wifi. But if i disconnect my laptop, then my phone can surf internet. Anyone facing this problem?( sorry for my bad english)

Try to check if the two are sharing the same ip address, or maybe check your router settings. If possible, put static addresses for each one.
Hope this helps
Now, my phone can't connect to wifi alone even my laptop didn't connect, but to make my phone can be connected, i need to open my laptop and set up an wireless ad hoc, then only my phone can connect to wifi, not through my laptop but my home's router, weird... by the way, static ip can be set inside modem?
try to reboot ur phone with wifi on
if it presists u can set a static ip for ur S2 using any 3rd party app from the playstore
