no offense but i kind of have the feeling your just trying to get to the 10 post cutoff.
Actually, I had no idea the cut off was 10 posts. And the reason I know the wireless tether you mention works with a b/g wireless card is because thats is the intended purpose of it. And its the app I use on almost a daily purpose for work.
Just a word of advice, I had issues getting security working with reasonable speed, I ended leaving it disabled.

i believe it was developed for b/g/n but i will take your word for it if no one else comes across
Yes, my laptop with a B/G card works just fine tethered to my B/G/N phone. It just only runs at G speeds (like that matters anyway given the cell uplink is much slower anyway.)

I never use tethering, but my connection is down, so I get setup and this blows. It's so slow, pages just time out and I keep getting intermittent DNS errors.
THIS is what people are all gaga over?

Are you tethering in an area where Sprint's 3g is slow?
Is there an area where it's not slow?
Btw, I tried wireless and USB tethering. Both sucked

All depends for me. Obviously it'll vary with area. I only break it out for the chromebook when I absolutely need it.

Plenty of areas.
Not here, apparently, but then everything here sucks

It must just be your area. I tether my EVO connection all the time and have no issues. I use it for browsing as well as playing games on xbox live and netflix. It works great.

It "works" here...but it's something I use in a pinch. I got an overdrive to reduce my hassle factor. Same signal and it's far faster.
maybe im crazy but does wifi hotspot work with 4g? I swear my tethering is pretty damn fast when i turn on 4g...
Are all of yall paying for hotspot or is it the wifi tether and can u post speeds please on 4g

Hey hipkat...my wireless tether is almost twice as fast as my home WiFi. And my home WiFi is pretty damn fast....Works great for me.
You guys are lucky then, and today, I used USB tethering again, and damned if it didn't kill my WiFi... again.
I get a connection, but nothing will update, browser won't connect, etc. They all say no connection.
I'm not even sure how I fixed it yesterday. I think it just came back "on"

AKA: are you tethering anywhere in the us?
At my house i average 1.5mbps on 3g, and at work where i have 4g i average 7mbps.

Are you using Windows 7? I had that problem with my moms computer (running win7) after I setup easytether for her. It didn't want to connect to WiFi. I have had no problems on my pc running Vista.

At home I average about 4-5mbps down, 1.0-1.5mbps up.

Either you're maxing on 4G or you're 'laxing' on the home internetz. Either way, many of us won't have 4G touching our home service.
As for speeds, and people saying 'it's fine here,' it all depends. Obviously area and coverage is going to dictate speeds. As stated, if Peoria sucks, well it sucks and it will be mirrored in your efforts to tether. You can't tether faster than your available speeds. Naturally.
I can get amazing speeds around campus but around home it's 'meh.' So, naturally, when tethering around school it's usually decent but around here it isn't. Make sense? Thank the good (raptor) lord for the WiFi.
It should be obvious that coverage and native speeds dictate your connection.
Anyone know where I can find tether drivers for XP? I tried the tetherxp.info from android.com but when I try to install them it says its not for my phone. IM using MIUI if it makes a difference.
Also plz no links to tether apps.

Here is my situation.
I have 2.3.7, stock, rooted, using Pete's 2.6.35.14 kernel. I installed wireless tether 2.0.8 pre-1 and set it to use bluetooth tethering. It works great, even via 4G. My issue however, is that it only works great to 1 device. My laptop, or my Galaxy Tab 10.1, connect perfectly fine and there are no issues. If I try to connect the other device (whichever other, doesn't matter the order from what I've tried) it won't work.
If I have my laptop connected first, then on my Tab, it will say it is connected in the bluetooth settings menu, but there is no internet access and there is no bluetooth tethering icon down by the clock.
If I have the Tab connected first, then try my laptop it will also say connection successful but then down on the taskbar the internet icon will have the little exclamation point and it will say no internet access.
Soooo..... is there a way to connect multiple devices via bluetooth? I really really hope so, but perhaps this is just a limitation of the PAN profile in bluetooth, or maybe the phone is only using the DUN profile or something. But in all my searching I haven't found an answer and I just don't know myself. Any devs out there know?
Why not just use Wifi to tether multiple devices?

Because 4G tethering via wifi doesn't work (in infrastructure mode, anyway), unless you pay the $29.99 to Sprint, which I am currently doing. But in my opinion, it is BS that they charge this. And given I very rarely use tethering, I hate paying for it.

This only unlocks the 3G tethering though, not 4G. Right? Or did I miss where that was also fixed?
I thought on nexus s 4g was free tethering on google own app on 3g and 4g?

Nope, not true. When it first was out, 3G was.... but subsequent updates have stopped even that.
I think the max on Bluetooth tethering is something like 2 MB download so make sure your getting all you can.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
No other thoughts on this?
Yeah David279, it probably isn't fast enough to get full 4G speeds, but still plenty fast for the little bit I'd use it.... oh well, I guess I'll keep paying $29.99 a month until someone figures out how to do infrastructure in wifi tether on the Nexus S (or until I buy the prime if it ends up on Sprint).
Have u try the latest beta of wifi tether

Will it connect to a portable Wi-Fi hotspot from your phone? Has anyone tested that feature yet?
If it has wifi it will. It doesnt matter where the wifi is coming from. Its still wifi.

Actually, I think it matters what WIFI type you are doing. I have read that the KF will not support ad-hoc networks and some hotspots are set up this way. It will support Infrastructure Wifi.
From the specs list on Amazon, :
Wi-Fi Connectivity: Supports public and private Wi-Fi networks or hotspots that use 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, or enterprise networks with support for WEP, WPA and WPA2 security using password authentication; does not support connecting to ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) Wi-Fi networks.

Which is to say, no, it will not work with the many phone hot spots which produce ad-hoc networks.
I can confirm that you can use a phone as a hot spot and connect to the Fire. HTC EVO MUI rom... Have not tested others.
Works fine with portable hotspot on CM7.1 on Inspire
Works flawless with galaxy s2 sprint.

Actually somewhat had the same issue at home. At first it would connect to home wifi, then lose connectivity while all other wifi devices were fine..and worked flawlessly while tether. After reboot seemed to solve the issue, but was wondering if others were experience strange behavior like this?
So... does the KF work with Phones using Ad Hoc network-based apps from the market or only AP mode?
Works fine on my Optimus V

That's why you use the "Personal Hotspot" of iOS which creates a Wi-Fi network. That's how I use my KF on the go.

You 100% positive that you are still on 3G when tethering? Sometimes it will cut down to EDGE depending on signal strength. Plus do you do the speed test app RIGHT before or after tethering and in the same location? Secondly, how are your internet speeds using wired tethered? Maybe your computers wireless NIC is faulty.
I get hspa when I do the speed test. I can do one before and one during and post the speeds here if that helps. i dont do usb tetherin
Phone was left in the same place
***4.9 meg before tethering turned on
***3.8 meg after tethering turned on

Ok now connect your PC and go to speedtest.net and try a speed test on there using your computer.
So when out of WiFi area I've previously just tethered my old tablet to my phone and used the phones data connection via the dial up networking profile. I can't for the life of me figure how to do this on the N10. Any ideas?

I can't answer your question, but why not just use the wifi hotspot?
Unless of course you are using a phone that does not have that feature ...

Fair question. Two reasons really, 1) some Telco providers and/or devices don't support it, and 2) it usually doesn't work internationally whereas tethering using DUN does.
