U can use WDS or just set your second router as an bridge.
Normaly you have an option to set wich behavior your router must have.
AP / Gateway / Bridge etc...
If you can set it to wireless bridge you can select your first wireless network and let your second router connect with it.

how can i connect from WIreless router to wireless router without wire?

By wifi.... your router picks up the "original" wifi signal and broadcasts it again...

JasJar wifi problem

I can't connect in wifi to my router Linksys WRT54G. I have this problem only between this router and this pda.
Please help me.
Thanks
Is your router set to 11G only, or 11B AND 11G? The Universal can only handle the slower 11B...
Now i can connect, but only if i use manual settings.
I added manually my wireless network and, under network adapters, i set the tiacxwin compatible wireless ethernet to use specific ip address.
And it works.
Now i must be sure that it work in my home too, where it was set all automatic.

AT&T 8525 Internet Sharing to Wireless Router?

I am getting ready to head on vacation and I want to use my 8525 as my "Gateway" as there will be 5 of us with laptops and I want to share my 3G connection so here is what I did. I connect my 8525 to my Laptop via usb, I start internet sharing on the 8525 and in my laptop (vista) under network connections I see Local Area Connection 6, remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device. I right click this connection and select Sharing, and enable internet connection sharing on it. Then what I did was took my router (linksys) and disabled dhcp, but enabled wireless and didnt set any wep or wpa. I connect from my laptop to a port on the router (not the internet port) and then goto another laptop to see if I have internet. I dont, I can see the ssid, I can connect but I do not have internet access. Should I use a crossover cable? What do I have to do so that all of us can have internet thru my phone? Oh, my laptop does have internet (from the usb connection on the phone). I tried to setup the router so that dhcp was enabled, but then I kept getting an ip conflict error, so we cant do that. Also I am not getting an ip on the wireless, it has an ip of like 169.254.177.12.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jim
There a software which you can install on 8525 and turn it into a wifi internet sharing but I don't know if it capable of handing up to 5 laptops. You might be able to use this software and get a router with some custom firmware which allow bridging then set it up to have router access the internet from 8525 wifi and share it among the 5 laptops but I am not sure if you could bridging and do wifi AP on the same router if not then you'll probably need to have 2 router one to bridge from 8525 wifi and then connect cable to another router that will be an AP for the laptops.
That would be my best guess of doing this unless one of the laptop can do AP via wifi when 8525 is plugged into usb slot.

USB reverse tether needed bad!

i.e. to access a PC's internet connection from the phone for data via USB (NOT use phone's 3G connection!)
My problems;
3G Data from my provider costs $269 a GB!
My PC has wireless internet but through a USB modem, not a router.
Cannot share the connection with a WiFi router as routers (or mine anyway) don't have a USB connection, ie I can't plug the USB modem into my router.
I can share data through a wireless dongle but only via ad-hoc network, but I can't seem connect my Dream to ad-hoc networks and am not even sure that it will be able to share the internet once connected. I've tried various Wifi tether applications.
So a USB tether app would be perfect. Else how can I use my PC's internet connection for data on the phone?
HTC Dream rooted and running CM4.2.8
Correction in title, YOU need a reverse teether.
WIFI is not hard to comeby, comeon.
The Dream can connect to ad-hoc networks, but ask that in Q&A.
No, I'm not the only one, this is a question that has been asked quite a few times before.
Also having read through many posts I have found no reference to anyone that has actually successfully shared the PC's internet connection to the phone with an ad-hoc network.
Wait a sec, you said that you have a WiFi router? A separate device from the USB modem?
1. Connect the router to your PC via Cat 5
2. Set up routing on your computer (ICS if you are running windows)
3. Set up the wireless part of the router
4. Connect the Phone to the router WiFi.
5. Use the WiFi normally from your phone.
This might help until someone can get reverse WiFi or USB tethering to work.

Look carefully to the topic. It has written USB not wireless.

That would be why it is called a work around. The suggestion is a response to this statement "Else how can I use my PC's internet connection for data on the phone?" from the OP.

I've shared internet with G1 via ad-hoc without problem. The solution I found in Q&A section
1. Get a Wireless router
2. Plug ethernet cable from PC to Internet Input on Router
3. In Windows control panel, edit the wireless connections settings to shared
4. Connect to the router and setup wireless network settings
5. Connect to wireless network with phone
There you have it, easy steps to do what you need.
After hours of 'googling', it seems that's it's impossible to get my router to share a USB modem's connection (http://forum1.netgear.com/showpost.php?p=68070&postcount=5)
@g1DDriver: Please show me where, I've searched but can't find it?
@Wisefire: 2. Plug ethernet cable from PC to Internet Input on Router - if I do that I cannot connect to the router at all, ipconfig shows the ip address as 192.168.1.2 but a browser just doesn't see it.
just buy a wireless router. they cost what, like 10$ now while on sale?

perhaps you're not reading my first post correctly, I have a wireless router...
...and anyway is it even possible to plug a USB modem into a router, it would need drivers & software which the the router can't handle?
My ISP also has their own proprietary modems (http://www.iburst.co.za/default.aspx?link=hardware_modems) which are very pricey, so I'm not getting another modem either.
I've been trying to set-up an ad-hoc network using the instructions here: http://blog.joint.net/2009/07/connecting-android-phone-through-adhoc.html
but having no luck.
Who'd of thought something so painlessly simple in WM6 would be a nightmare in Android

From that link, which modem do you have. A model # would be nicer.
Also, what is the model # of your router?
What OS are you using?

That would be because you are trying to manage the router from the WAN port... If you want to be able to do this you need to enable remote management. (Connect PC to inside, enable remote management, the connect to outside (WAN port) and use the http:// 192.168.1.1:8080 or whatever you set the port RM to)
The modem I have is "USB Modem for laptops and desktops"
Router is the Netgear WGR614v7 and OS is Win XP
I see a couple of things that could have prevented you from making this work.
By default the Netgear router gives 192.168.1.0 (mask of 255.255.255.0) to the inside. You cannot use the same network between the computer and the router. I would change the network on the inside of the router to 192.168.5.1 255.255.255.0. (Just change the 1 to a 5 in the router settings.)
ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/wgr614v7_ref_manual_20apr06.pdf
So connect your PC to one of the four ports. Let it get an IP address. Connect to http://www.routerlogin.net (Per the instructions in the PDF.) Login and change the inside address pool to 192.168.5.1 255.255.255.0. (Instructions are at Chapter 6, "Using the LAN IP Setup Options" in the PDF above.) Reboot the router.
Connect to http://www.routerlogin.net again. Login and enable remote management. (Instructions are Chapter 6, "Enabling Remote Management Access" in the PDF above)
Enable Internet Connection Sharing on your computer.
Reboot the router again.
Once the router connects again, open a command prompt and do a "arp -a" (without the quotes) and get the IP address of the router. (It will be the IP address in the 192.168.1.x range that is *not* listed in an ipconfig from the command prompt)
Connect to that IP address (for example http://192.168.1.6:8080) and continue on setting up the wireless part normally.
Once you connect your phone to WiFi the connection flow looks something like this:
Phone = 192.168.5.21 > NAT > 192.168.1.6 <routed> 192.168.1.1 (IP of your Wired NIC on the computer) > NAT > USB NIC IP address > Internet
Of course the IP addresses above are just guesses as to what you will actually see.
Hopefully this will get you going well enough until someone gets reverse tethering to work.
Reverse tether g1 to pc network over usb cable
My android os is CyanogenMod 4.2.14.1,
1.Enable "Settings\Wireless controls\Internet tethering"
2.Install HTC Remote NDIS based Device driver(View attachment 277122)
3.Set the HTC adapter as: IP:192.168.2.1, Mask:255.255.255.0
4.Set the PC ethercard as shared connection
5.Run these codes in terminal:
su
ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
busybox route delete default
iptables -F
iptables -F -t nat
busybox route add default gw 192.168.2.1
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
setprop "net.gprs.http-proxy" ""
6.Now your g1 could open browser to view any web pages on the internet, and update apps in the Market.

Connecting HTC touch with router via Wireless LAN

I have a router and i want to connect my htc touch/elf via wireless LAN.. My PC is also connected by it via Ethernet.. And router can connect up-to 4 LAN.. So, I was thinking to connect my Htc with wireless LAN.. IS it possible??
I thought HTC Touch Elf have WIFI. Just turn on the WIFI, set the password if your router have password, and you are connected. Please correct me if you are asking for different kind of connection.

I'm confused? You state in your original post your router has wireless lan, and now that it doesn't?
Are each not the same? Can your phone detect your network at all? What router do you have?
I think he mean that his router has no W-Lan but his PC has it.
So he has to connect the PC with a Lan-Cable to the router and make a ad-hoc connection with his mobile.
Then he can use the w-lan when the PC is turned on.
correct me when iam wrong

Yeah! that's wat i want..
Then make a W-Lan Ad-Hoc connection from you PC.
Turn your W-Lan-mode on your mobile "on" and connect to the Ad-Hoc.
Thats it.
use Virtual Access Point software but it is shareware ..
but cracked is available
Why you use a extra software for that ?

for sure you can connect...
just configure your router by entering config menu and setup ssid and network type....
config your wireless on your WM and connect it...
you cant connect coz probably you have hidden network on your router or it's not configured....
thats all

Google Cast problem on ethernet

Hi everybody,
A week ago I could cast from my phone to Shield TV while it was connected to ethernet.
But now it's not working anymore.
I tried to reboot, reconnect, factory settings etc but nothing works.
On WiFi it works fine.
I hope anybody can help me througth this because connecting to the ethernet is so much better.
Thanks in advance
Do you have a router setting like "set AP isolated"? That would stop you from communicating between clients.

I just checked. It was disabled.
Is your WiFi Access Point setup in bridge mode or router mode? If router mode, wireless devices are living in their own network subnet and are not in the same subnet as your ethernet devices so a wireless device won't see a Chromecast device (SATV) that is connected via ethernet and vise-versa. Set it to bridge mode and that should clear things up.
