Cellphone modem ---> Wifi router?
Hi guys.
Nice forum. This is my first post here.
The question is the next: I'm using my cellphone (Nokia N95) as my modem to connect to the internet.
I have a wireless router (Linksys WRT54GC). Id there a way for it to work? That is, I want to make a home wifi hotspot (where I can connect my PSP, iPod Touch, laptop, etc.) using my cellphone as the primary internet connecion.
Thanks in advance!

24th July 2008, 02:28 PM #2 I'd say no because the connection device (ie, modem) needs to be connected physically to the router's uplink port.
The closest I can think of is to connect your phone to a PC and have it make the connection to the net, and then connect the pc to the router (now a switch effectively) and do it that way.
Bit messy though.

I'm guessing you could use either a PC running Windows with Internet Connection Sharing enabled or just a Linux box configured as a router (although can you connect the N95 to Linux??)

Erm, how about this?

Probably wont work with PSP tho as this creates an Ad-Hoc connection rather than infrastructure mode.
I've used the WM6 version, WMwifirouter and it works quite well. Just need 3G where I live now!
