Doesn't the mogul come out of the box with the ability to be used as a modem for wi/fi? Or do you have to add this to?

well i looked at the thread above and that is how to use as a wifi router but the other we have is tether. tethering is just using your phone as the modem for your computer. for instance on long car rides you can use your phone as a modem for your laptop and get the net while in the car.

[killaatwill]

Thats what I'm interested in is tethering. So do you need special software to do that or is that what comes on it?

well if ou do it that way it charges you outrageously high data charge or you pay the $40 a month. eithr you had it on your acount and they forgot to tke it off and arent charging you or its a mistake on their side since it is supposed to b 40 bucks a month....

[broSki]

nah dash,im telling u, I never got charged for it, neither I have that on my account. I pay 66 bucks a month solid with my employee discount and all of sprints discount. dont put it on phone as modem, put it at sprint pcs instead believe what im telling u!!!! I saw it on youtube also da guys username is dabestone r sumtin like dat....matter of fact if u do it 2day for 5 minutes like i have posted above and they charge u, Ill paypal u the amount for those charged lol

lol il think bout giving her a shot and all jsut hate trying things out because with sprint they would end up changing my account around and i finally got it right. i swear it took 4 months and about 3 hours on the phone each day my bill came for the past 4 months to get errors on their side straightened out like for double charging me for items and mesing stupd things up mking my account balance more

[broSki]

lol yea i kno but even with all of sprints BS ill never leave to att or t moshit lmaooooo...been with sprint for 7 years dude i had the motorola startack (the silver one with the blac screen and the green shiny led letters lmaooo) but try it 2morrow for 5 minutes, give sprint 24 hours and call them and see if there were xtra charges on your bill and if there is(which i kno wont) Ill paypal you the amount charged for trust me on that lol

ive seen this done too dash but i for one cant say i tried it because i was to scared 2. i had rather take the time to download pdanet for free to make sure i wont get charged.


better safe than sorry.




also for the wifi router thing no dash you dont need to have your phone plugged in via usb. it works just like an wifi router for your computer it like reverses the signal from looking and recieveing wifi to sending out a wifi signal using your evdo. its pretty cool i had used it for awhile. only thing is other people can access it also if you dont put an code lock on it. just like any other wifi "hotspot".

[broSki]

my fone as an access point, dude thats freaking awesome bro, can u post the the cab for pdanet because I can only find the trial version....

well i was about to help you out but i seen dash already beat me to it and gave u the link.


thing is pdanet wont work with the mogul like as an access point to avoid data charges. at least that i know. only way you can use pda net close to being an access point is if you have both usb turned on phone and computer and get your internet that way. pdanet only works with a usb cable and bluetooth i believe not the wifi router access point.

[broSki]

hmm seems Im loking the pdanet way better b.c its also synced up to the comp also and allows for file transfers while using my phone as a modem freakin awesome....but the downside is that when a call comes in it disconnects.... 1 other question how can I view pages on my IE quicker while im using my mogul as a modem it looks like pics on webpages takes forever sometimes???

yes i use pdanet also mostly because right now i dont got data on my mogul to use the wifi router. and as far as it disconnecting ya thats going happen no matter what that i believe because you cant have data and a phone call running at the same time that i know of. it just like if your on the phone and try to get online on your phone while on the phone. sounds bit confusing i know. but just wont happen inless there is an hack that exist or something. but also with the router i believe you could have like more than one computer access the internet at once just like any other router only thing is i think it will slow down the data but im not sure and pdanet cant do that its only one computer can use that internet at once inless you do it via bluetooth i think.


as far as your other question im not sure what your saying but i think dash answered it for you.

[reebis44]

i can vouch for him. Yeah, Dash, they try to make you pay $40 but u can "trick" the phone. What he didn't put in his instructions is that you must make sure ur already connected to the internet BEFORE you hit connect. Like, just go to a site on ur IE, and make sure it dials the #777 (or whatever your internet number is). Once a cennection is established, its just like he said. If you press connect before you connect to the internet you will get an "Error 67" message and it will keep popping up (very annoying). but as far as I know you can only use the Sprint internet connection and not a local Wifi tethered. Then again I don't know too many comps these days that don't have wireless internet receivers. Also you can connect them via BT if ur comp has BT.

Give it a try and if anyone has any questions or it doesn't go right just hit me up and I'd be happy to help.
