WMWifiRouter - a virtual WiFi access point for Windows Mobile - released
January 03, 2008 [General] | By Edward J. R.

It is nothing totally new! We were reporting previously (see HERE) that it is possible to turn a Windows Mobile phone with WiFi into a WiFi access point (WiFi hotspot) but it required changes in registry and was a buit cumbersome.

Now a free application has been developed that does the work for you and with this application you can use a Windows Mobile phone as WiFi access point - what makes a lot of sense particularly because several Windows Mobile phones offer HSDPA with 3.6 Mbit/second.

While Microsoft's Internet Sharing application - built-in into Windows Mobile - is not bad it is available only through USB and Bluetooth but not WiFi so this solution is absolutely superior because it uses the most comfortable wireless Internet access - WiFi:

WMWifiRouter is a tool to use your Windows Mobile 6 (possibly 5) as a WiFi <-> GPRS/UMTS/HSPA router. It'll allow you to use WiFi capable devices to connect to the internet through your phone's data connection.

[...]

We're not in a final stage yet, so exact usage changes. The currently most up to date documentation is in TalynOne's "Internet Sharing over Wifi" topic over at XDA-Developers, which also serves as the official WMWifiRouter topic. The documentation will not make it to this page until we reach a decent final version. The first posts in that topic will tell you how to use it (as well as how you can do the whole thing manually), the last few posts will likely be dealing with current issues.
