Make a WiFi Router from a Windows Mobile 6 device
By Martin English | January 23, 2008
WMWifiRouter can turn your WiFi-capable WM6 device into a GPRS-uplinked WiFi router. When activated, it will set up your WiFi link in ad-hoc mode and start a DHCP server. Laptops in the vicinty will see a new network called WMWifiRouter, and connecting to it will funnel all of their network traffic through your phone and its GPRS connection.
It used to be that you had to use a separate laptop connected to your phone to do the routing and network address translation side of things. This tool allows you to connect multiple (WiFi enabled) laptops anywhere where you can get a cell connection, and all you need is your phone.
Now, despite the promises, WMWifiRouter is still under heavy development. The best place to find up to date information is in the Internet Sharing over WiFi – WMWifiRouter topic at XDA-Developers. The first posts tell you how to use it, the last few posts will likely be dealing with current issues
