    Hi awaisdell,

    This work for Win 7 although I haven't tested it (it's still a nice easy video to watch).

    You may need to go back to the wireless router and use as a "Wide Area Network".
    Set up your security protocols and then have your iphone connect wirelessly to your wan using your set up configuration and password.
