WMWifiRouter is an awesome program, I used it for years in my old Windows phones.

I now use a free wireless tether in my Android phone that does the exact same thing.

I pay $20.00 a month for 1gig of data, when I elect to have the mifi active. Buying from WalMart. The device is slightly larger than a business card and about as thick as 2 quarters, stacked. Lasts 3-4 hours on a charge and came with a wall-wart and a cable to plug into a power port in the car.

Current price, online at WalMart is $129. (didn't notice where the original poster is located so, if this is not applicable, sorry.

I am interested in this. However, I do not have a wireless card in my pc,just a wireless modem router. Is there a work around to set this up? I really don't want to put any more money into the old pc. Can I set it up on the iPad?

Bumping this up for those who might be interested in new hotspot service with Clear.

The iSpot has been discontinued. They are selling 2 unlimited packages - 4G $45/month or 3G/4G - $55 month.
