Hi guys,
I am thinking to get the 32GB 3G nexus 7 and I have a 5GB mifi, so if I get the 3G nexus 7 will I be able to turn the tablet as a wifi hotspot for the laptop so I don't have to carry the mifi with me, otherwise I will just get the wifi only to save some money.
Also, if I use the nexus as wifi hotspot, how many hours do you think I can get out of it? my mifi about 6 hours.
Cheers,
Dan

What are you trying to accomplish by tethering or making it a WiFi hotspot? There would be no data connection to share.

I am trying to use it as WiFi extender
Nexus 7 connected to WiFi router
And PC is on different room where signals are weak so making WiFi hotspot can help in extending WiFi signal

I don't believe you can have a WiFi connection and access point on at the same time with android. Windows 7 has the miniport driver that allows this, but I think it requires certain hardware features built in that android devices might not have. I've heard this question asked a lot but no solutions.

There are several apps in the Play Store that do USB tethering. I don't know if they can get data from WiFi though. Search for USB tethering and try some.

EasyTether works with the nexus 7 but I'm using linux on my laptop so can't vouch for windows. However, it should work if you follow their directions.
My WiFi doesn't reach my whole house on my nexus 7 but it does on my phone. I was wondering if it would be possible to tether the WiFi through an otg cable from my phone to my n7. I already know it is not possible to tether WiFi and through wifi hotspot because you can't use both at the same time and I don't want to use bluetooth.
No. It's can't be done.

Hello,
I have Nexus 7 3G version (4.3). and I want to setup WiFi hotspot so my other phone can connect and use the internet on nexus 7. But I could not find the tethering and portable hotspot.
Is there a way to make it run on nexus 7 ? Tried foxfi but my other phone just say " Obtaining IP address" and nothing happens.
If root is needed, can you point me to a site with detailed Instruction and what WiFi hotspot app should I install ?
What are my other options ?
Thanks and looking forward for your reply.

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to make my wifi only nexus 7 able to present a wifi signal. Sounds weird I know, but I need the signal I know connecting to it will do nothing.
thanks for the help!
You can try it with apps like Super Beam
