It’s good to have your own personal wireless network, both for reasons of security and convenience – and now, with a little help from us, you can set one up with your HTC HD2.

So, if you like the sound of using your HTC HD2 as a wireless router, follow these simple steps:

1. Before you do anything, make sure that your HTC HD2 has a SIM card in it and its connected to the internet – 3G, GPRS and EDGE are all good – and the computer you’re using has a built-in or external Wi-Fi adaptor.

2. To set up your phone as a wireless router Tap Start and go to Wi-Fi Router.

3. If this is the first time you’ve opened Wi-Fi Router there’ll be a little introduction, which you can either watch or skip. After this, tap Next.

4. Now, you need to set up the phone’s Wi-Fi network by entering a network name and a ten digit WEP key.

Note: You can also use the provided default Network name and WEP key. In Internet Connection, find the data connection your phone uses, then tap Start.

  1. Once your device is ready to accept connections it’ll display instructions on how to connect your computer to the Wi-Fi network.
  2. Once you’ve done this, the instructions on your mobile should disappear and the Wi-Fi router screen should be displayed again.

Connecting your PC to your HTC HD2 wireless network

  1. On your PC, select Start, then Connect To (Vista) or Connect to, followed by Wireless Network Connection (if using Windows XP)
  2. In the Connect to a network box, select the name of your HTC HD2 network, then select Connect.
  3. If your phone’s network doesn’t show, click refresh.
  4. Enter your WEP key and then select Connect.
  5. To turn your HTC HD2’s wireless router off, simply tap Stop on the Wi-Fi Router screen.
