Not sure but if you can use it as a hotspot, perhaps there's a way to do so.

It can't receive a network and host one at the same time, so the answer is no.
I wasn't sure. Never tried it out myself. Thanks for clearing it up for me.
what a pity

Yarr!!
I was expecting how-to for using Xperia neo as semi-automatic repeater(like this http://budk.com/Outdoor-Sports/Nightstalker-Semi-Automatic-Repeater ), or digital repeater( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeater ). Pretty dissapointed to find no such things here.
Though there is some hope left yet, since you can use it as such kind of a repeater as shown here( http://apps.search.yahoo.com/search...rd&appgid=9569515&pf=android&pfs=android&pd=4 )
If it will not work as a cannon, at least it can work like a parrot.
EofJoke, matey.
SE claims that you can. Usually you need a rooted phone to enable tethering, SE but has built tethering into the phone.
I just tested. It works
Go to
Wireless & network settings
Tethering & portable hotspot
Port. Wi-Fi hotspot settings --- Configure Wi-Fi hotspot
Nothing complicated from there. create SSID and password
I am writing this post running on wireless internet connection provided by my Xperia neo.
Edit: connection seemed slower than over normal wi-fi router which has as fast internet connection as my data connection.
i know that wifi thering works thats no problem but i mean amplifing my wifi singnal from my rooter at home
Do you know any other phone that can do that?
This is instructions for creating a wireless repeater
http://urbanwireless.info/wireless-repeater
As you can see, you either hack a router into it or buy such a device from shop.
Which means, for a phone... it is nigh impossible to become such a repeater, unless you like it as a repeater and not a phone.

It would be really neat to be able to put my Wizard into 'host' mode on the wifi, and share my EDGE access out to wifi clients nearby. It'd be like having my own wifi hotspot in my pocket.
Is this possible?
this post and most others like them gets ignored by most of this forum.
Or so it seems from my month on and off reading.
Ofcoarse this is possible?
will software or service agreements allow it? most likly not.

I wonder why, I think its a nice thing to have, and there exists AP with 3g cards like LINKSYS WRT54G3G
/L
with software it would be possible i think
just a matter of making the device rount
the wifi to the connection
but edge and even 3g is not really fast enough to share with anybody without comming down to a crawl
which is prob why there have been no demand and so
no developing for the field
gprs/edge > BT > PC >WiFi > WLAN
easy to do, conect to data service throught your computer with BT or USB then in settings share internet connection (via Wifi) with other users.

Check this link :

another painfull way, but may work for u.
I think it has something to do either with no one caring/caring about terms of service possibly.
Hi!
Bought a Tattoo for my kid and now we got a huge bill because the wifi seems to dissconects itself all the time and she is not that good checking the wifi state.
Is this a known problem or what can i do about it?
Using a Netgear N router and WEP (must use WEP because of my stupid XBox that can't handle any other security).
Please let me know how to fix this so she can use the phone!
I have this problem too, and as I found it's a known problem on net.
I'm using wifi fixer, which running as a service and reconnect everytime the connection drops. It's not a solution, but make things better.

Hi!
Thanks for the info, is that an app i can find on the Android's app place?
he he he.... did not notice your link Sorry!
Looks to me that HTC is screwing things up even with Android devices...
This phone realy sucks!
Me again!
I've struggled with this phone a couple of hours now but i can't get the wifi to work now.
I press connect to my network, i have entered the wep password but a couple of secs later it says disconnected...
What can i do about this?
I have the same problem - Is it best to configure the Wi Fi settings like IP address etc ? And if so whats the best settings for it?
I've managed to get it to connect now, removed an app that kept track of wifi traffic. But it seems to me that Tattoo does not use wifi when i use YouTube for example. Checked my providers homepage for traffic that we pay for and they had traffic for today. And the phone has not been used all day until my test this evening.
Is there a way to tell the phone to use just the wifi connection when using youtube app or explorer...?

install apn on-off when you use wifi, just disable APN connection.
then if you need umts/gprs is 1click enabled

Thanks, this sounds easy enough for my kid to handle when she wants to use the wifi and to be sure that it uses the wifi and not the expensive data from our phone company.
Thanks again! Will try this!
Hi,
as there are no threads about this (i havent found anything), i will post a new one.
my main question is: is it possible to get a wifi connection on your phone and share this connection at the same time through wifi (so you get a wifi hotspot or whatever)? (android, windows mobile, windows phone -> whatever, got a HD2)
it works on multiple computers with windows 7, but i never got how to do that with ma HD2.
hopefully,
sallal
EDIT: forgot the [Q] thing, sry
as no one replies
#push
they're are many apps that can do this, just search WIFI tether in the market (android), IDK about WM7 though.
For android you can also run CM7 which has tethering built into it. I use it and it works like a charm, it's fast too.
Sorry for my question ,but with this program i can use my tablet as a router?
I have 3G so i can use this connection for internet and WIFI for make my tablet a router?
the app allows you to "tether"/use your device as a router. SO yes.
The are CMInternetSharing package that is used to share internet connection from a Mobile (that we get using GPRS/3G) as a WiFi Router to others...
If you have a WiFi Connection that your mobile is consuming then what is the need for re-sharing same connection from mobile?
Let me know if I am not sure about the question
Thanks.
Am no expert but i think this is true...
A wireless device can either be used as a client or as a router, you would need 2 wireless interfaces to do what you are looking for. When the tether apps start they configure your wireless interface as a router... I dont believe it can be running as both types at once.
but you most defenetly could use your 3g or whatever cell signal you have and offer it thru a wifi interface, you must have root access.
Cheers
maybe there is a way
you could switch the wifi with a 3g lookalike so 3g uses your wifi and then download a wifi tether i am looking for this quit a time and i diddn't found anything but this is al theory
I do it with a stock app of my device, it's calls "3g mobile's wifi point"

hmm that would be a thing i should look at...
i always used on windows 7 "connectify me", a program made for taking wireless internet connection or LAN and sharing it at the same time as a router.
the virtual wifi miniport is used for this i suppose.
maybe there is something like the virtual miniport to manage in windows mobile or android?

I use one from the XDA forums, search for wifi router
It works great on my HD2 with WINMO
sir,i have already mentioned.....try "mhotspot" easily converts ur lap/pc into wifi hotspot(n/w will be detected by android mobiles,worked for my ACE) its better than connectify because..we dont need to install it..and soo we can over come protocol related problems and system instability issues
My University does not allow Wi-Fi in the dorms because they say it "puts a strain on the network". This includes Mifi's and mobile hotspots.
I have OS X Lion and Windows 8 (Dev Preview) through BootCamp and I get internet through ethernet. I need some way to share internet access from my MacBook Pro to my A500. I also have a rooted Samsung Fascinate, but I cannot Tether at all with it because a. I dont have enough data a month to do that, nor do I have the money and b. the root apps give errors no matter what rom I run.
Buy a wireless router and passcode it.

If your major has anything to do with IT look into another school.
At least if they are not providing their own wireless network and that is the only reason they don't want you to have one.. otherwise the reason you provided is fud if you had a personal nated + wpa 2 protected + hidden network..
Otherwise:
The A500 cannot reverse tether without root. With root you can sorta do it via a root shell and linux commands.. You end up with a connection but many apps think there is none, fine for me surfing the web on the bus but you can't use market and apps wont auto sync.
Some custom firmwares based off the Asus and other android tablets with the same chip set do have true working Bluetooth tether. Thus may fill your needs better.
(Actually I see partial support for Bluetooth tether built into the 3.2 update, but forcing it enabled made the tablet crash, and still needed root to force the option to exist)

Nah, may also need to disable your essid and clone your desktops Mac address.. otherwise it may disable the Ethernet Jack.
All wireless routers ive seen can do this out of box.. even if I like updating them with openwrt firmware.
can your Mac provide an adhock network?
When my friends router shat itself all he had was a adsl modem with eather net out. He set up his I Mac's wifi so that his iPhone could connect to it (over wifi) in the house. He had lously cell connection where he lived.
Can you do some thing like that and get your tab to connect to your comp? Or am I not understanding the problem?
Good luck.
OP,
Well you are kind of screwed - soft of.
It is the schools network. They can dictate what they want on "their" network. And even if you hid it, etc they still can see what it plugged in.
But they can't tell you that you can't have WIFI at all. WIFI runs on 2.4 Ghz for B/G/N and 5.0 Ghz for A/N bands that is unlicensed frequencies. So if you have a some other Internet connection, ie 3rd party like DSL, Road Runner, whatever, they can't tell you that you can't use WIFI. They can only control their network.
The reason I mention this is because I have seen WIFI Nazi's out there trying to be all macho even when it isn't their network. You might be fortunate enough to have WIFI in the area that you can use, say a friends close by that has commercial ISP and wireless. Also possible to use DD-WRT to put a router in client mode to pick up a signal farther out and and a 2nd router to broadcast that signal in your room.
I previously owned HTC Desire V handset which had an awesome Internet-pass-through feature in it by which i could use the internet from my pc to my mobile(ofcoz i dont have any sort of wifi). This feature is lacking in moto g. i tried it by reverse tethering but it requires root which dont have. today morning when i connected my bsnl router to my android via OTG, it opened up the modem settings page!!!! which means android supports it. but the only question is- how do i dialup my connection from android to connect it to internet???
If you have a router why do you need a wired connection to the phone and Also how exactly did you connect your modem to the phone

He may be having the dial-up modem not the router with Wi-Fi antenna.

exactly what i was meaning to say. you understood my problem correctly :good:
Have you checked into PDAnet? Its an app that runs on your PC and one for the phone and allows you to use the phones data connection on the PC. I used it for a short time to just see if it worked and removed it and can not remember if root was required or not but it should allow faster speeds than using dial-up.
