WiFi Hotspot using WiFi not Mobile Connection???

[SiHa]

OK, bear with me.

My son (well, it's mine, but I let him use it...) has a Nintendo DS, which can only use WEP security for the WiFi connection. I don't want to leave my Router on WEP - it's just not secure enough.

I suddenly thought yesterday, that I could use the phone to setup a temporary Wireless Access Point using WEP security. Thing is, the signal at home is utterly pants, I can barely get any signal, let alone 3G so I thought I'd use the home WiFi, but the Mobile Hotspot app switches to 3G/H. OK, I understand that this is a sensible default behaviour, but I was just wondering if anyone had tried anything similar?

Cheers,

Simon

The wifi card in the phone (unfortunately) cannot connect to 2 wifi devices at once. It will only go through mobile data connection

Yeah, thought it was a long shot...

There is a PC app that works as desired. Unless Google hasn't exposed enuf access...it should be a possible to make this work. I tried the same thing for use when traveling...using the wifi connection in a hotel...but was disappointed by the bulti in limitations.
