Using a computer as modem for G1

I found many topics on how to use the phone as a dial up modem for the computer but I couldn't find a way to use the computer as a modem fo my g1,
you see I live most of the week in my dorms where I onlyhave a wired connection (and no wifi anywhere in the vecinity) and i also dont have any internet pakage for my phone so I was wandering can I connect my G1 to the internet via WIFI (the computer's) bluetooth or usb cable?
I though I should use thether but after connecting to my computer I still couldn't access the internet trough my phone..
can any one halp me?

Alright so as far as computer setup goes, we will need to bridge the connection somehow. Somehow, we need the computer to output a wireless signal whether that be Wi-Fi or bluetooth for the phone to use, all we would need to do is setup a network bridge for that. However, the means of broadcasting the signal is one that I am not sure about. I don't think the G1 supports bluetooth internet. I am not much of a network savvy person, but here is a possibility, though I wouldn't be sure exactly how to do this. Using the wired connection, bridge it through your computer to a wireless router to broadcast the signal. Once a signal is being sent out, your G1 should be able to connect to it. However, I don't really know if it that setup is possible or not, someone with more knowledge would have to answer that.

thanks. Imma try this at work.

I am confused. Did you not know the stock froyo did wifi tethering? Am I not understanding completely?

You're not understanding completely. My desktop computer does not have a built in wi-fi adapter, so I would have to use a wireless USB network adapter to get internet on this machine. Using this method, I was able to use the internet from my ISP (Cox Communications) rather than resort to using T-mobile's 3G network.
Let me do a flowchart for you:

Yeah, okay I did understand.
The phone can tether the cellular signal or the wifi signal.
It was implemented in froyo.
What is really cool is how fast it is. My computer is hard wired into my home network and when I activate tethering and disable the wired connection, the difference in speed tests and pings is imperceptible. They are both the same. Very impressive.

I like what you've done. You are tethering your computer to your phone via USB and then using your phone's WiFi connection to connect to your home's WiFi router, then on to Cox and the Internet.
In your diagram, the Internet doesn't lie between your phone and the computer. The Internet lies beyond your ISP. Otherwise nice.
Lastly, the tethering features were added by 2.2 as pointed out already.
Edit: added a diagram

By default wifi is set to sleep when the screen is off. Have you disabled this in wifi advanced settings?

Took me a few minutes to understand...
The point to note is: "tethering shares whatever internet connection is available"
1) Connect to the wifi network using your nexus one.
2) Share the internet via USB tethering.

Tegra Note is Haunted, disconnects internet when i enable Wifi on it.

Ji
I am using Tegra Note 7 with 4.4.2.
When ever i connect to my wifi, the internet at my home goes dead
Normaly my internet is all fine and dandy, and i can connect other devices like phones etc to my wifi.
However there is a dark mystery revolving my Xolo Tegra Note 7
When i switch on the wifi in the tablet, it makes the internet ping go higher and higher till it disconnects
Here is a screenshot of my pings

As you can see, the moment i flip the wifi button on my tablet, pings go climbing, and when i switch the wifi off, the internet becomes normal
.
This problem started 2 days ago. I use Dataone broadband from BSNL India. Why is that only my tablet causes this problem and not other devices? When i connect my phone to wifi and then connect tegra note to phone via Bluetooth internet sharing, same problem occurs.. Its like the tablet is sucking everything it connects

2spooky4me....
but have you configured VPNs in tab ?? ..
I think somehow your setup creates a n/w loop by multi-nic of tablet..
But since, I am not a Networking expert..
Can you try the same in some friends house... ( may be its your house thats haunted ) Joking :laugh:
Isolate the problem onto ISP by taking the tab to a friends house with Airtel / Reliance / any other broadband provider and then report.

Guys, iy was my GOOGLE AUTO BACKUP. Google+ had consumed 13 GB man, 13 friggin GB!!! All ym videos and photos are on Google Drive now, LOL.
its like that Fappening incident..

Droid Turbo 2 WiFi problems

Is anyone having an issue where WiFi disconnects on its own and seems to disconnect the phone from Verizon's network as well.

I haven't had that problem. I only had a problem with the advanced calling feature turned on during a call.

I did where the phone showed still connected but router showed disconnected. It is not a phone issue, it was an issue with my Linksys N router

I'm having the same issue. The phone shows as connected but it really isn't.

What was the issue with the router causing this? Did you fix it?
Thanks!

It seems to be a problem on both the Turbo and the Moto x pure, many people in the Motorola forums say they purchased a new router and it seemed to work. I personally won't be buying a new router just for this phone. Hopefully it will be fixed with the marshmallow update

Well I disconnected my Linksys Router and used the Comcast modem and setup WiFi with it and works great now

extremely frustrated with turbo 2 wifi
I'm having the same problem, and it's true on at least 3 different routers so far. I surely won't be replacing every router I ever need to connect to. As a frequent international traveler this is a HUGE problem for me and will result in my getting a different phone before my next international trip if it is not resolved quickly.

Are they all linksys

No. Haven't tested on any Linksys. All were Netgear routers, 2 with N (running DDWRT) and one with AC (factory firmware) protocol.

Don't know then. Mine has worked fine on a netgear R7000 on stock and dd-wrt.

Question: Are others who are having this problem on open networks because I share am open network with other people who live at my residence and I don't have this problem when I am visiting my friend who has a secured WiFi connection.

will this work for A1? lan to cellphone connection?
thanks

I tried with a Dell Ethernet to Type-C adapter (ok, using custom ROM) and it didn't worked.

For what purpose you are trying to use it?
connecting to internet ?
Sharing files with other devices in the network?
Why you dont just go ahead and connect to your router wifi connection?
If you are trying to get an connection to the world wide web, There is WiFi and 3G + 4G
so my question is :
For what purpose you are trying to use it?

Just for fun.
Experiment.
Xda is a developer site/forum so expect more thread like this.

It's actually a cool idea and I remember once trying to have it configured (USB_RTL8152) for an adapter I have (and for another phone).
By that time I could not get an eth interface to appear. I will ask if it can be configured in Moun_Kernel (which I use but do not build myself).
About why: I rsync entire device content (internal and external SD, including TWRP and Titanium backups) to a local server as incremental backup and sure a gigeth would be much faster than a shared wifi access point.

It's USB 2.0 so you won't get gigabit speeds from it.
If it works, expect to see 20-30 MB/s

One practical use of this would be replacement of router, as without power the router is useless, while with mobile, wifi can be available for a couple of hours as hotspot. For rural places like mine.

and the speeds would be better too compared to wifi hotspot. im going to try this out actually i mean, if connection could be shared trough that adapter to another device

I would like to confirm that I actually plug TP-Link USB to Ethernet UE200 to my Xiaomi Mi A1 and it work straight away, note that you need a good USB Type C to USB Type A OTG module to use it
