Tethering for Geeks, Walking Wifi for the Rest !

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

WifilogoAnyone that has their life on the go has at one point felt frustrated  searching for an unsecured WiFi connection while traveling . If like me, and have experienced this more often than not, at one point you must have dabbled with the thought of using your mobile phone as a “modem” through which can can connect  your laptop to the internet for ultimate internet mobility. The bad news is you’re not an original genius. The good news it is possible and infact widely used,  a process known as Tethering .
When done correctly this works like clock work, however the key point is getting it done correctly, which invovles technicalities that most just find cumbersome.

Solution for the masses : Turn your WiFi enabled phone into a wireless router !

This has to be one of the niftyiest things i’ve seen done with a mobile phone in a long time .
Basically if you have a WiFi enabled phone,  running this application you can turn your phone into a WiFi router that your laptop can connect to just like the regular wireless router you have at Home or Office, except in this case you laptop connects to your mobile phone , which then connects to the internet using your 3G/Edge connection.

Absolute Sheer Brilliance !
