This new version brings a long list of changes. Excluding the minor changes, tweaks and bug-fixes, here are the main ones:

- Due to further optimizations the complete WMWifiRouter package is now about 35% smaller

- Various minor UI tweaks for better compatibility with Windows Mobile 6.5 and 6.5.x

- The setup procedure for new installs is now much shorter. Of course, all configuration options you may ever need are still available under Options -> Configuration

- Some informational pop-ups have been added

- When sharing over Wi-Fi, an informational window now pops up listing the network name and password

How many times have you turned up somewhere with your laptop and realized you’re short of an internet connection? The growing number of WiFi hotspots is reducing this risk – but did you know – you have a faster, less crowded and more sure router sitting right in your left pocket? WMWifiRouter takes your 3G or CDMA cellular connection and turns it into a usable WiFi network. Now you will be able to save the day and offer all your friends or associates a free WiFi hotspot wherever you are! Read on to see how the program works!

SETUP

Installing is easy and can be done from plugging in and running a EXE on your PC or a CAB straight to your device. I used the EXE method however I have tried and the CAB method works just as well.

When you start the device for the first time you’re greeted with a splash screen. I found this a nice feature as it doesn’t leave you waiting while it loads. The setup takes you through a process and I recommend making sure your WiFi, Bluetooth and Data connection are turned on at this point as the program scans for these.

Here you can choose the broadcast name of your WiFi network.

You chose the name for your phones WiFi network and the password to secure it with.
