What else you can do with your windows mobile phone when you’ve already finished digging up your phone to maxed its potential uses, here how you can turn your mobile phone into a wireless access point/router. 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.


WMWifiRouter 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.

Base Requirement

- Windows Mobile 5 - SmartPhone Edition or PocketPC Edition.
- Windows Mobile 6 - Standard or Professional (NOT Classic!).
- A WiFi connection on your device.
- A (cellular) data connection on your device.
- Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) installed (and working) on your device (\Windows\IntShrui.exe)

To get started, download WMWifiRouter install it on your phone through your desktop you must turn WiFi to ON before you start the installation. The installer will create an Ad-Hoc network called “WMWifiRouter” on your device. On first run, WMWifiRouter will create a backup of some important registry settings it will change during operation as well. Note that the Ad-Hoc network that it creates does not have any security set.

Once you are satisfied that everything is working correctly, you should add WEP-based encryption through your control panel. If you are using a version that doesn’t have the installer yet (v0.84 and older) you should first fully remove WMWifiRouter from your device. You can remove the shortcut inside WMWifiRouter itself through the options menu, and you can then just delete the EXE file. Remove the Ad-Hoc network you made and you’re all set.

WMWifiRouter is very simple to operate after installation just start the program, press “Connect”, wait until the screen gives you a fully green icon and then you can connect your other WiFi-enabled devices to the “WMWifiRouter” network. Once you are connected, for most devices you can just press the power button to turn off the screen and other power using components of your device, while it remains functional as a WiFi router.
