Using Evo 4G with Zoom 4501 Router can you?

Hello all,
Here is my deal and hopefully someone can help.. I have an Evo 4g.. currently I do not have internet in my home (cable started getting to pricey in my area) and have rooted my phone and have been using the wifi tether app. However, I want to also share connection with other devices throughout my home, ie, 2 laptops, 1 desktop, 1 xbox360 so I purchased this Zoom 4501 wireless N router that works with 3G/4G, wifi, cable etc..
Now, I was able to connect my phone to the usb port on the router, go through the setup wizard and and was able to actually get the router up and running however, the only way to do it is by turning on the usb tether option in the settings menu.. it only works on 3G and not 4G.. when I turn on the 4G option, it says that I do have an account with sprint.. is there any other way around this? If anyone can help, let me know thanks!

C'mon man.. I'm looking for a legit solution... besides... theirs is encrypted....

Just get a wireless extender and connect all the devices to that.
EVO)))))))))Wireless extender ))))))))all your devices(no device limit) + ethernet.
http://3gstore.com/product/1813_pepwave-surf-mini-200.html I use it with my sprint mifi because I connect more than 9 devices when I'm at work. (grandfathered unlimited plan ) and the mifi only allows for 5

Hey thanks.. just got it to work, just purchased this... http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0354515
seems to work pretty well... thanks for the info guys...

Just make sure only the router is connected to the evo with encryption, everything else will be handled by the repeater

Buy a router that you can put tomatousb firmware on it. Then configure the wireless as wireless bridge or client to the evo's wireless tether. Works great for me when the times my internet is down.

Ther's OTG support, but we don't know yet if a 3g dongle will be supported without rooting and unlocking it.

Connect Nexus 7 to laptop's wifi?

Tried finding the answer, not sure if I'm looking correctly. I'm dorming at school next month, wondering if this would be possible:
Connect laptop to hard wired ethernet connection, turn on laptop's wifi, and connect the Nexus 7 to the laptop's wifi. I think this is ad-hoc but I'm not sure exactly. Would this be possible? Would suck if not, kinda screwed in using the tablet then :-( . Thanks for the help

Your laptop (I'm assuming it's a Windows laptop?) is only capable of creating an ad-hoc wireless network. You could try this guide if you're unable to connect to an ad-hoc network from your tablet, although I don't have my N7 yet so I can't verify if it works or not.
Alternatively, if your laptop has Bluetooth, you may be able to create a Bluetooth shared network connection. Once again, just an idea - I have no idea if this is possible.

For @ $20 you can get a wifi router. Why not get one and have wireless internet for your laptop and tablet?
BTW- Don't worry about setting it up. You'll be at college--there will be hundreds of nerds itching to help set up your network...

sorry, forgot to add that info. Yes, Windows 7 laptop. It also has bluetooth. I'm pretty good with computers, I just never did this before. Supposedly school has wifi in the dorms, but since it's been years since I've dormed, I'm assuming it's going to be crap due to the make up of the buildings. I wanted to use it in my room. They do say I can bring a wireless router of my own, but I just wanted to cover worst case scenarios.

What's the best way to share my phone's Internet connection with my tablet?

It would be nice to just be able to carry my phone in my bag, so that when my tablet is within range of WiFi it uses that, but cal use my phone's 3G connection if wifi isn't available.
What's the best way to achieve this? A wireless hotspot from the phone? Or Bluetooth?

Wifi tether is best way to go. I would suggest foxfi because you can have a wifi password if necessary. Also a free app from the play
store, just be sure to watch your data limit!

Try Bluetooth tethering

Try install BlueVPN(ics client) from Google Play. Activate and pair your device with 3G phone. Launch BlueVPN, Selecet your 3G phone and BlueVPN will do the rest. Good luck

Pair your phone and your tablet. And you are connected.
Android phone ⇒ Nexus 7
Or enable wifi tethering

[Q] nexus 10 with usb 3g dongle ???

hello
im thinking to buy a nexus 10 but i want to know if you have tried this app PPP Widget
or any other way to connect a usb 3g dongle like this app with the nexus 7
thank you
for those who ask why dont share the internet connection using an android phone the answer is that my cell phone carrier doesnt have the best 3g speeds and signal . so right now im paying an internet service using a 3g dongle with my laptop.
thank you for your advice and knowledge

Well the 3g type with Built in wifi hotspot are only taking power through the usb connection so should work fine ... but 3g dongle with hot spot and own battery like Huawei E586 dont need to be plugged in to phone ....
Both methods are no different to taking a data connection from another phone via a wifi hotspot.

This.
It's somewhat mean to say it like that but I'll translate it.
I'm using a HUAWEI E355 with OTG cable and it works.

Although i realise a hotspot would work, i'd rather have a dongle i could plug in and it would work through the USB connection.
I imagine the battery drain from powering the 3G dongle AND using wifi would drain more then if i'd just use USB.

I have a Huawei E586 HSDPA+ 3G MIFI Hotspot coming in post, it connects via USB also. I will test if USB connection works on Note2.
For the last few days I've been using a Note2 throught hotspot on Note1 (unlimited data sim in note1, talk & text plan sim in note2) the battery drain from WIFI on note2 is not high.
This unit has its own battery.

Hi all,
looks like you can connect to 3G networks over HUAWEI E355 modem?
I have few questions and hope you can give me hand here...
1. are your nexus rooted?
2. what ROM u use? stock or custom? if custom which one?
3.
I have a friend here, with nexus 10 wifi only and trying to get a 3G connection, got the HUAWEI E-173u modem + otg cable but its stock ROM and it doesnt show any "mobile networks" in settings, wonder if it is possible to use 3G net on these wifi nexus at all?
thanks!

Hi,
Here is how I was able to use 3G dongle via a USB OTG cable on my nexus 10 running android 4.2.2. Unfortunately till now 4.3 doesn't support this
First Root your Nexus 10 .(Fantastic thread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001868
Then install PPP Widget
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.draisberghof.pppwidget&hl=en
Then follow this thread (Read carefully)
http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modes...php?f=6&t=1113
Copy the driver files on PPP widget ----> [sdcard]/pppwidget/lib (use file explorer like to search the folder --->> https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roid.pop&hl=en)
Add the pppwidget home screen (Remember this is a widget ,not an App)
Plug in the 3G Dongle using a OTG cable ,and put the correct APN ..........
And press the connect button.......
You have 3g connection on nexus 10

Any idea why 4.3 do not support it ?
I got me a dongle and nexus 10 the same time knowing that I will want 3G connection. but when trying my dongle nothing happened and the version of my table was 4.3.
So I am quite confused why it would be in one version but not the next.
