Avoid reconfiguring an access point on your Windows Mobile phone after a failed connection using Wifi Hero.
Introduction
Wifi Hero is an app for your Windows Mobile that allows you to rectify, save and restore wifi access points. Consider a situation where you go to a friends place and need to use his home wireless network to check your email. If you enter any information incorrectly while setting up the wireless connection you have to start the configuration all over again. This is a well known niggle in Windows Mobile based phones. What Wifi Hero does is allow you to edit the access point that you have just created and save any number of them on your Windows Mobile phone.
It supports both Windows Mobile Professional and Classic phones. It runs on phones with the following resolutions - QVGA, WQVGA, SQVGA, VGA, WVGA, SVGA.
Overview
Wifi Hero starts with displaying all available access points. You will be taken here when you have configured a wireless connection, and it fails to connect due to incorrect information entered while configuring the access point.
You then need to select "Show All Profiles" and it will display the failed access point in a list. You are now free to make changes to the access point's settings and also save it. Hitting the update button will then restore these settings for usage and also save any changes you have made.
Reconfiguring a wifi connection on a windows mobile phone for a failed connection can be cumbersome and Wifi Hero allows you to make small changes and check for a working connection immediately.
Managing access points becomes easy and Wifi hero can store an unlimited number of access points.
Conclusion
Wifi Hero helps save time while configuring an access point on Windows Mobile phones and is priced reasonably at $2.95. It's a single function application and the price reflects that. It also warrants a purchase for those who keep switching between different access points during the day.
While it's not a fully featured Wifi configuration tool that allows you to create new access points, it allows you to manage your existing access points pretty well and back them up as well.
