Hello every one, I was wondering if it is possible to broadcast a wifi hotspot from a G1? See my situation is that I can connect to a hot spot from my family room but my computer in my room can't. I would like to connect to the hotspot from my g1 and then some how broadcast the signal so my pc can get internet.
I can't find any info on google except tether and reverse. I think this is more like repeating.
I'm running cyanogen 6
No data plan
Thank you in advance

sorry for the newb questions but couldn't find an answer searching and figured someone who knows would be able to give an answer easily
the question is, when in the office, sitting near my laptop (dell lat 620 w wifi) I connect my phone to the wifi network 'wfield1' and the display on the laptop turns green, and the phone shows the little antenna signifying wifi connectivity. ok- now does this mean
a) that all data sent/rec'd will not appear on cingulars bill?
b) will my works firewall (vpn) infringe upon my browsing (ie if I hit a blocked site will it say blocked on my phone?)
I originally thought it would but I turned wifi on and walked away from my laptop and realized that the wifi connection stayed on throughout the building so therefore it has nothing to do with my laptops connection to our vpn server then right?
if so, c) would I be able to use the phones wifi connection and then usb tether the phone to the laptop to browse on the laptop off the firewall and off cingulars rate charges? I have unlim anyway but keeping usage down seems worth the small step it takes to tether
hopefully I am at least a little accurate in my guesses and not way off wack. if anyone could drop some knowledge on me id appreciate it
Your phone's connection to WIFI has nothing to do with your laptop. It should connect to your WIFI router in your office. Your phone should display a different symbol on the top line of the LCD, rather than your regular "antenna" symbol.
You need to check the above before you can confirm if you are actually connected to your WIFI router.
When you are on WIFI, it is subjected to the same firewall regulations as your laptop
yes it changes from the normal "phone" antenna to the wifi icon, i do know that much.
however i'm still unsure of whether or not it is using routered data vs cingular data. i think it is using the wifi data because as i said it is showing the wifi symbol and not the E or G that shows up when connected to cingulars service
and i think i mispoke, i dont actually use the wifi on the laptop to connect to the internet. i need to dial up with a verizon card, and it connects that way, and also launches a VPN which i think is what regulates the internet usage.
i am less worried about the routers firewall than i am my (proxy?) servers abilty to record sights that i visit, ie the forums/ebay. if i visit those on wifi and my server could see that (not worried about the wifi router seeing it since i am in different offices a lot), i will just stick with using GPRS/EDGE. confusing? sorry
If it was using Cingular data, you would get a message that your phone is 'Connecting to Cingular GPRS' ..in which case you would be billed, you don't get billed for using wifi because you are NOT using cingulars network to connect to the internet, you are using your own.
after checking it again, it seems that i cannot get to the iinternet with the wifi alone. i turned off the phone and had wifi enabled and could not connet to the internet.
so normally, if it wasn't a work firewalled network, wifi will let you get to the internet without being charged via cingular. got it, thanks all
hey i was going to do wifi connection to my work laptop too till i decided its pointless cause im sitting right in front of the thing and if i actually walked away from it its going to be a decent distance and the wifi wouldnt connect anyway.
besides theres not a whole lot you can do with the connection other than read a web page or browse a network folder.
Ok...so I have a mogul phone with built in wifi but no data plan. Is it possible for me to use my cell as a repeater for my laptop if it is connected to wifi in another room to boost the signal to my laptop? Please let me know!!!
What I want to do: Use wmwifirouter as a repeater so that I can extend my wifi on the phone to my laptop (w/o data plan)
Not currently, no.
boo....can someone figure out how to do that? It looks like it would be possible with just some minor tweaking/hacking
umm.. besides wouldn't repeating a Wifi access point require yet another WiFi Adapter in the phone? if you found a MicroSD Wifi card for your mogul, you could repeat any wifi access point with ICSControl.
kinda off topic here and not sure if u knew but one of those old Linksys wireless routers can be firmware upgraded into a repeater rather easily.
First the primary question.
Can you tether a phone to a smart tv to use the phone's mobile internet connection (I'm thinking of using USB as I know it can be done by making your phone a hotspot)
Now the other one:
Does a carrier charge for the bluetooth tether like they do for the hotspot?
Now for situation clarification:
There is no Wifi in the house, no internet, no computer, and there isn't going to be. The only internet access is the phone.
Erm.... and that sums up the situation. In a cave that has cabletv,
Hi,
I am struggling with an issue regarding tethering on my nexus 4 stock.
First, I have a plan for tethering with provider.
When I turn on the shared connection via WIFI, I am not able to connect to internet from my device, even if the device is not connected to my PC. If i turn on the shared connection via usb or bluetooth, i can then use itnernet on my phone. It looks like an issue between tethering and wifi.
Other issue is i can not get a bluetooth tethering or even USB. I am stock with this issue for days and was unable to find any answer in the forum.
Your question is not really clear, (or I'm too stupid to get it), because your last sentence contradict the previous one.
Anyway, Tethering allows you to share your Mobile Internet with other WIFI capable devices. This is a quick guide on how to do it. Note that you cannot use the wifi on your phone while tethering, you have to use Bluetooth tethering or USB tethering, if that is the case. Here is a guide from google.
And just out of curiosity which version of android are your phone currently running? Because there was some reported tethering problems on 4.4.2
Hello everyone!
So where I am living I cannot get reliable internet service and currently have Hughesnet (satellite isp) that I want to stray from. I have picked up a prepaid true unlimited data plan from Metropcs and want to use it as my default isp as the speeds are astronomical compared to Hughesnet. They are of course limited in usage for tethering and I would have to use a masking application and have chosen Clockworkmod Tether. What I want to do is run a USB dongle to my router (ASUS RT-N56U), connected to my phone (SAMSUNG-SM-G900A), running Android 5.0 with Clockworkmod Tether. Is this possible to do as the router doesn't have a sister application with the phone i.e Pdanet+ needs a windows application running to work?
All feedback is welcome!
So I found a video that kind of explains how to do so but I still have questions. With the process he is demonstrating the phone is using the wifi hotspot option to broadcast signal to the router. My question is.. with all the tether masking apps (PDAnet, FoxFi, Clockwork) you need to connect via USB to work. How would I get around this?
