Wifi + Internet browsing F500BT - Success!


Recommended Posts

Edit 08.27.09:

 

Here is Testmode booting from USB and loading the spectec driver. Please proceed with copying the opera folder to 'My Flash Disk' as before. Credits to Carver for testmode & FourG for the wifi script. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GG9DOXYA

 

Hi guys,

 

Here's what I did to get internet going on my F500BT with the Spectec SDW-821. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work on the other AVIC's. Attached is the link to required files.

 

Download attached file and extract to a folder. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=W6U10ZD4 .Inside you will find:

 

1. The Spectec driver for CE 5.0. To install simply copy to your flash disk and double-click on the cab file. Once done, insert your wifi card and it will detect and launch the wifi manager. At this point you can connect to your wifi network and add the key if required.

2. The Opera browser edited to work on CE 5.0 without install. Open the rar archive on your pc to follow the simple readme installation instructions for this one.

 

That's it!

 

Edit: Confirmed working on 3.02 / WINCE 6.5.0.6

If you have a windows mobile phone with wifi, u can get a program called wmwifirouter, then the phone would act as a access point using ur phone data plan.

Hey miotoo,

 

Great job! This is the best news I've heard in a long time!

 

I have a question, - I have a Palm Wifi card that I used to use in my old palm t5. It's the same style as the Spectec card. Do you think I'd need to find brand specific drivers for my card, or would it be safe to try the Spectec drivers?

 

thanx!

If the palm card is a generic of some sort it might. Nothing will happen if you try plugging it in after installing the driver, and see if the connection manager pops up. We can also search for more details about your card if you have a model number & closeup pic.
