Has anyone been able to get wireless tethering to work on any of their android builds?
Closest i got was with one program off of the marketplace, android says its working but my pc cannot find its signal.
Anyone?
This program is good:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
But i get this message:
"Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application", because NAT tables are not working.
Bump, anyone got wifi tethering working?
I'm looking for a solution as well.
developers need to implement iptables in kernel for it to work

I'm currently on mattc 1.5 and everytime I turn on portable wifi hotspot, the system restarts itself.
So anyone has tried out this feature on other builds?
I hear it doesn't work on any. It. Also hear that some of the tethering apps wor.

yeah, i think NONE of the builds are having it working now..
yes, thats the only thing which isn't working. all other features are working very well.
i hope the wlan router will work in future by an update
thx for the developers!!!
I have other tethering applications working, such as WIRELESS TETHER FOR ROOT USERS.
Then again, other in-market applications exist that serve the same or similar purpose. Also, the wired, USB-tethering works quite nicely...
Hopefully the Wi-Fi Hotspot issues are worked out soon!
WIRELESS TETHER FOR ROOT USERS should also not be working. It uses the same data tables as the built in hotspot. I've tested wireless tether on my two builds and it does not work.
wifi tethering its working !!!
step 1
install pdanet on pc
(cant put link cos im new-google it)
step 2
install pdanet from google market and istall it on pda.
now connect the usb to pc and Complete the Installation.
Looking for a tun.ko for the fascinate voodoo kernel? Anyone have a clue where to get a copy?

Thank you jt1134,
Seriously.... you are FAST! I will get to testing after work.
This is confirmed to be working. Just have to fuss with some settings but I am all connected up to the openvpn server.
Thanks again JT!!!

Terror,
This is exactly what I'm trying to do. Can you list what you did to connect? I'd really appreciate it.
I am in the works of finishing it all up at the moment and will write a quick guide when I am totally complete.
Okay, I am in the process of finding a fix for ROUTE/IFCONFIG not working, I can load the module just fine and it tries to connect but when I use a terminal and try ROUTE or IFCONFIG they output nothing to the terminal.
So.... I am making progress but need to overcome this issue before I can get any further.
JT,
Do you have a tun.ko for your non-voodoo kernel? I'd love to get this up and running so I can use Bria (voip) over 3G. We have both OpenVPN and Cisco IPSEC at work but, it seems that I can't try either option without a working tun.ko module.
Terror_1,
How are you coming? Seems like you got it to connect OK but, your only issue was terminal output. All I need to do is connect to use our Voip server at work.
After a week of fussing with it I finally gave up. Followed a few guides to get the openvpn working on the TomatoUSB or TomatoRT router. It almost seems like the versions of openvpn are not capable of working together but now that you mention it I just might give it another shot.
Way better to get 2 heads than just one.
hey everyone, I LOVE cm7 and stock android, but I use my phone to tether more than anything else and I need a solid tethering solution. My problem is that Wireless Tether app doesn't work with CM7 (at least last time I tried it) and the built in tether doesn't seem to work for me, (broadcasts but I don't get any internet connection)
Does anyone know of a way to Fix wireless tether app or why the built in one isn't working for me?
use barnacle tether, its free. but if the default settings arent working then go into the barnacle settings and click the "skip-wpa supplicant" or something like that. if it didnt work the first time it should work then
Thanks! I'll try that
I use the built in tether quite often on CM7. I am running rc3 right now and haven't had a chance to test it out but it has worked on the last 4 nightlies I've run.

the reason why the built in tether does not work for you is because you either used a wireless tether app or you have one installed. what you have to do is you must uninstall all wireless tether apps you have and then you must reflash your mod and obviously reboot once you do that it will be working for you. trust i just had this problem and i did a lot of research on it and i actually figured this out today and it worked. so give it a try and let me know how it goes. ^_^
would love to say this is the problem but it isnt
has something to do with dhcp, i can connect wirelessly to the phone np but wont get an internet connection because the phone decides to flake out and not assign an ip address for my laptop.
I tried to connect it earlier and it didnt work but i left it connected. I walked away, came back 10 minutes later and finally got an ip address and internet on my laptop. so either it just takes its sweet time assigning an ip or its tempermental
all good here
hi,
of no real help, but I am using CM7 stable and mine works without issue.
CM7 Final here and it works fine for me. Like others suggested, try wiping and reflashing.

Ok so I got wireless tethering to work form my rooted Epic 4g to my galaxy tab 10.1 and its pretty cool. I did it with wireless tethering version 3. The only thing is that at first i couldn't get it to work because of the authentication once I turn off the encryption on my Epic it worked perfectly and connected right away. But what I don't get is why it doesn't work with the password if anyone can give me some advise why this is happening it would be cool, Thanks.
Strange, I tether all the time without issue. Should be possible. Are you using an app or built-in settings for tethering.
I got the app version (V3 is the only one that works) . I mean it works,..just not with the password on.
I use wifi tethering with my samsung galaxy phone with tmobile. you should try changing setting in build in tethering app and see if this works. I use 'quick settings' free app from market for quick access to wifi hotspot settings.
I have this problem too, it tethers fine but whenever it comes to things requiring password (like email logins) it rejects the password.
can any one who doesnt have this problem share which software they use for tethering?
how did you get tethering to work? i have tried the wpa_supplicant hack but the wifi drops every 10 seconds. what rom are you running & what supplicant file did you use?
It only works right with wireless tethering app version 3. Apparently if you have the rom that has it built in you shouldnt have any problems.
This is what i used http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I use bluetooth tethering fron my Win Mobile Treo Pro running wmwifirouter. I got tired of trying to root and do the wpa supplicant thing. Android needs to support adhoc wifi out the box across the board. So ridiculous really by now.
Still Cannot Tether
Ok...so Im still on an older phone ( Droid Eris ) but it's rooted running Gingerbread and the wireless tether v.2.07 works great with my laptop but wont work at all with the Galaxy Tab? I really don't understand this. I have tried everything from leaving it completely open to setting up all the appropriate authentication and access control. I tried the link in the thread for 3.0 and even select the Desire..which I think is the basis of the rom I am on...and just got errors in the log.
Anyone else having these issues? Not sure why it works fine on the laptop but not the tablet?
thanks
I am running v 2.0.7 on a myTouch. When I wireless tether with access control on I can check Gmail,but browser will not get websites. If I turn off AC, then browser works OK.

I think that 2.07 is ad-hoc only and honeycomb doesn't support ad-hoc. (someone correct me if I'm wrong). There are a few threads around here somewhere where you can replace/edit a file that allows ad-hoc support. As to your other question, I use Wifi tether-pre11 and it works without issue. I'll link it to you. Make sure you change "device profile" under settings in the app to correspond with your device. I had troubles with the app until I set the device profile to my device. Depending upon your luck, you may have to try a few different pre-release files on wifi tether 3.0 to find the right one. Like I said, pre11 works great for my Epic, but your device may be different. Just don't use the top one (test2) as I recall seeing that its meant for Samsung devices.

Have an epic and I'm running 3.0 pre11 and I can use encryption. Its under deprecated downloads in the google code page. See above link.
Don't forget to hit "Thanks" if I helped!
i am actually tethering thru my epic to post this. The wifi tether is screwy for our phones. I use SFR1.2 and geno1.1final. 3g works, 4g causes a instant reboot on the phone, but it works in infrastructer mode without issue.

Can you post those APK's or the instruction please, I have an Epic as well.
I use wifi tether to connect my thunderbolt to my gt10.1. With version 3 I have it set to softap (master) not ad hoc. Access control is on and I have the routing fix box checked for htc phones. I tethered well over 1gb this morning with no problems

Check the android development section of the epic section.. SFR1.2 is the rom, Genocide 1.1final is the kernel. They include wifi tether that works for the epic in the rom..

Ok..finally followed the guide here and replaced my wpa_supplicant using the links provided. I have wireless tether v3.0pre14 working with no authentication. I am now going to play with authentication and may back down to pre11 since you had good luck with it. I am surfing solid with no drops...video streaming is fairly slow but thats to be expected I would assume. I am running rooted 10.1 retail 32MB with Verizon Droid Eris rooted running GB 2.3.3.
Many THANKS for the help!
Just to add a data point, I hadn't tried tethering my Tab to my Thunderbolt until I read this thread. I am running Wireless Tether 2.08pre. I set up access control and also enabled wifi encryption. I used it for about 20 minutes without any problems. That includes email, surfing the internet, and YouTube.
I too can tether the GT 10.1 with my HTC Thunderbolt using Wifi Tether, but am having trouble with the Samsung Droid Charge. Anybody get the Charge to tether successfully? TIA!
I have no issues wireless tethering my Nexus 6P and getting my tablet to connect to the portable hotspot. However when I try tk connect my laptop to the wireless hotspot , my laptop connects, but since it requires Cisco AnyConnect VPN to be used as well, that portion always seems to fail.
I have Verizon and never had this issue on any of my previous phones, and am wondering if it's something to do with Marshmallow. I tried to go to developer options and select 'Use Legacy DHCP client", but that doesn't seem to work.
I was wondering does anyone have any thoughts on what to try with this or maybe someone out there was able to get it working?
Thanks in advance!

Are you saying your phone or laptop requires Cisco AnyConnect to be used? I guess the first question is why do you need to use this, and can you try it without using the VPN?

It is my work laptop and the way it seems that it is setup, it is required to connect. I tried to skip the VPN and while it says it's connected on not able to pull up any sites. My personal laptop (without vpn) seems to work fine.

Having same issue (except VPN is NetMotion)
I'm also on verizon. It worked just fine until I got an upgraded work laptop (HP EliteBook). That PC can connect to (it seems) any wifi *but* my N6P hotspot (and likewise, my personal laptop can connect to N6P wifi hotspot no problem). USB tether does work, but I really need hands-free (am often wanting to use laptop on the bus during my commute). Bluetooth is disabled on the laptop by corporate IT (who also says they can't support me w/this problem (which is some BS, but whatevs)).
So--subscribing to this thread. I'm hoping some networking whiz can help us figure out what's up.
FoxFi app may work...
Replying now w/laptop connected to the hotspot created by the FoxFi app. It seems to work. So that may be worth trying.
FoxFi not a fix, but March update seems to have been

Nope--FoxFi was not a fix (and after I coughed up for the 'pro' key version of it, seemed to just be an alternate UI for the native android tether function).
But since getting the March update wifi tethering is working again for me. Not sure if there was something in that update (I think the changelog mentions 'provider fixes' or some such) or if some bit of cached code just needed reaming out or what, but I'm happy at any rate.
I'm having the same issues. Work laptop will connect to hotspot but no internet. Personal laptop and other devices work just fine. Weird thing is that the work laptop might work long enough to load one web page then I get the "click here to fix internet connection". Even weirder, if I put my sim card in my old rooted GS4, tethering works on my work laptop! I am convinced it is something to do with the 6P.

Figured it out. Go to Settings >> cellular networks >> enhanced 4glte and disable it.
Works every time now.
