oj88 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Since this is a Gen 8 Microserver sub-forum, I would assume that you're using XPEnology to run DSM on the G8? Simplest I can think of is to attach a "supported" WiFi dongle on your DSM and connect it to your phone through its WiFi hotspot feature. I haven't tried this and since this is not an official DSM hardware, I don't know if any run of the mill WiFi dongle will work (hence the quotes). EDIT: I tried two generic Wireless-N USB dongles just now on a G7 N40L XPEnology/DSM hack that I built. No dice. Even with either dongles inserted, in Control Panel>Connectivity>Wireless>Wi-Fi tab, it still says "Please insert a USB Wi-Fi adapter". Either a supported dongle exists, or the XPEnology wizards still needs to work on a proper driver. The less elegant way is to connect a LAN cable from the DSM to an extra Access Point or Wireless Router that's configured as a WiFi Client. In Client mode, it should be able to connect to your iPhone's hotspot network. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
