This has to be the most useful app I’ve seen in quite a while. I had heard about MyWi before but I thought it was only an app to tether your iPhone so I didn’t even look at it. But being able to use your iPhone as a wireless hotspot is just amazing!
If you can’t see the benefits of using your iPhone as a wireless router, then let me give you an example. My fiancee and I are currently in Thailand. Unfortunately our hotel doesn’t offer wifi. I do however have a local SIM card and a data plan which I use to tether my iPhone. By creating a wifi hotspot with my iPhone, I literally turn it into a modem/wifi router and my fiancee can now connect to the internet with her iPod Touch.
How to Turn Your iPhone Into A Wireless Router
Step 1: Make sure your iPhone is jailbroken and that it is running at least OS 3.0.
Step 2: Launch Cydia and search for “MyWi”. If you don’t have Rock installed on your iPhone and you don’t want it, choose the “MyWi (no Rock)” version.
Step 3: Purchase ($9.99) and install MyWi then reboot your iPhone.
Step 4: Launch MyWi and tweak the settings to your liking:
Change the hotspot name
Change the channel
Enable Wep security
Enable USB/Bluetooth tethering
That’s it. You should now be able to use your iPhone as a modem and share your internet connection with other computers or iPods around you.
Note that using your iPhone as a wifi router is an absolute battery killer. Make sure it is plugged in so you don’t run out of juice in just a few minutes.
