Firstly, I'm from India. We don't got no Newegg here
I don't have any WiFi router/Android phone etc. First foray into Android w/ this N7.
Should I get a WiFi router or a MiFi device? Or a 3G dongle-supporting router?
Also, if there are any Kolkatans here please tell me where I can find free WiFi (McDonalds' excluded).
Mifi device sounds great since you have the options.... they're portable and allow you to use your tablet wherever you go... if the data plan is good and the speed is good of course
Just get a wireless router for your internet at home. You say you don't have an android phone, and it's a shame. I turn on the mobile hotspot feature of my phone and use my N7 on the go. It's really awesome.

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.
Hi!
Like most of you, i´m planning to buy this lovely tablet.
So now i´m wondering what will be the best way to get it connected to the internet via an android smartphone.
I was thinking of some sort of on-demand bluetooth data sharing.
Is there already a battery saving app to do something like that?
If i would have to enable the hotspot every time i want to look something up on the tablet when i´m in class that would be almost a dealbreaker too me.

i think bluetooth tethering should work out of the box depending on your phone battery life is still very ok (i use it laptop-galaxy nexus)

Bluetooth isn't a very fast connection compared to WiFi... and it's also very range-limited. So if you can get it to work, I don't think you'll be happy with the speed.
What's wrong with using your phone as a Wifi Hotspot? That's that I do.
I think you'll find better performance using your phone as a hotspot rather than pairing up via bluetooth. Not sure what phone you have but my Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Nexus both work great as hot spots and get decent battery life continuously on. If you run AOKP you can set a toggle in the drop down menu for wireless hotspot making it simple to turn it on and off whenever you need it.
The Nexus 7 has built-in Wi-Fi. You are solely responsible for obtaining internet connectivity through an internet service provider as the Nexus 7 does not support mobile connectivity.
In order to use the Nexus 7, you understand that you will need your own 802.11a/b/g/n access point Wi-Fi router.
does this mean we cant use wireless tether on our nexus?

No...it means it has no radio to connect to 3g/4g

I bought the nexus 7 and still waiting for it to arrive. Sold my NOTE to get this. The reasons were 1) Pure Google Exerience 2) Quad-Core Tegra 3/Bigger screen. I am not much into voice calling (typical nerd) and prefer to communicate over the web.
Although I do have wifi at home for primary usage, I am just wondering can I use wireless Bluetooth tethring to access the web on N7 on secondary basis?
I currently have nokia X2-02 with unlimited internet access and not sure if its good enough for the purpose. Do not want to spend on another phone, just to get wifi tethering.

I don't know about the Nokia and its tethering capabilities. But I tether my HOX to my N7 and I have to say, tethering it to the N7 makes browsing much faster than browsing directly from the HOX (If you get that) I don't know how, but this N7 is epic.
Plus its like 3 clicks and your tethered and on the internet.
So yes, tethering to the N7 is simple and brilliant, as long as you have a device capable of outputting it to the N7.
To answer the HOW - Find your tethering on your phone/device your using the connection from, do anything necessary to set it up, such as the WPA password etc once you've created the hotspot their, your N7 will see it as a wireless connection (wifi) connect it and your all set.
Errr...Thanks for the reply bro but I know how wifi tethring works but right now I don't have any device capable of wifi tethring and just wondering if I can get the bluetooth tethring to work somehow. So its like I want to use my phone data connection on my N7, wirelessly via bluetooth.
I have Bluetooth tethering working with my Sony Xperia S.
The Nexus 7 is capable, it's really just the question whether your phone is.
The good thing about BT tethering is that it uses much less power than a WiFi hotspot.

Ok just to update everyone who is interested, as long as the mobile device supports DUN Bluetooth profile, the N7 can connect to the device and thus you can use the internet. I was able to use my nokia phone to tether my 3G connection via bluetooth. Just pair the devices and check the option on the N7 to use the other device as internet source.

i have tried to connect my N7 via bluetooth to my iPhone 3gs to surf the web but so far have not been able to get it to work although the instructions seemed simple.
Is it possible to have a Local WiFi Hotspot? I have a Galaxy S5 with Verizon. Ever since I upgraded I have been struggling on a 6gb data plan. I own an iPad and an Apple TV and wanted to do wireless airplay for presentations. Of course Apple TV requires a WiFi connection to airplay so I was wondering if there was a way to make a local wifi hotspot on a device without using the internet? It would be like having a wireless router that isn't plugged into a modem. I have never seen this brought up before so I figured I might as well see if it is even possible. What do you guys think?Am I crazy for wanting a local hotspot or does this peak anyone interest to explore?

Coming from Sammy that has offered a "Wi-Fi" sharing" feature for years I am really missing it on my OnePlus.
This feature allows you to keep your WiFi AND HotSpot on at the same time. It allows you to connect you Samsung to the hotels WiFi and then connect other devices (such as Chromecast) to your WiFi sharing Samsung phone that is using the Hotels WiFi and not your mobile data.
Does anyone know of a way to get this working on the phone? I have looked on the playstore but only found ones that work for a PCs.

Hey so it ends up the OnePlus actually has that already. Go to developer options and go to networking and you'll see WiFi coverage extend feature.

. Did you get it to work? I enabled this feature but as soon as I turn on Hotspot it turns off my WiFi. If I turn WiFi back on, it kills hotspot. . Maybe I am missing something?
Same here. After enabling that extend option, turning on hotspot still kills wifi.
Just curious... If your phone is on WiFi.. Why would you need hotspot? Why not just put the 2nd device on the same WiFi your phone is on...

it's for traveling purposes it's not so easy to connect a Chromecast to a hotel Wi-Fi. It's very nice to have your phone be your access point for all of your devices like your computer your Chromecast Etc. and especially with the Chromecast since it really isn't possible to do the login page on a Chromecast. With Samsung's Wi-Fi share feature it works seamlessly the Chromecast connect to the Samsung hotspot while Samsung is connected to the hotel's Wi-Fi and I can control all of the Chromecast casting right from Samsung
