I pair my Nexus S to my Nexus 7 via Bluetooth. On Nexus S, in the tethering settings sections, I have ""Bluetooth tethering" checked. On Nexus 7, I have the box checked for using the Nexus S's internet connection.
Although the devices pair just fine, the Nexus 7 does not get an internet connection from the Nexus S.
Both devices are stock/unrooted.
Any advice? Anybody else successfully using a stock unrooted Nexus S on AT&T to bluetooth tether a Nexus 7?
Thanks.
On your Nexus S in settings, go to Tethering and Hotspots, and check Bluetooth Tethering. Then on your Nexus 7, in Bluetooth, go to the Nexus S setting/menu, and recheck Internet Sharing Connection. That works for me.

Is there a way to start the WiFi tether from my tablet? I have a GNexus that I use and would like to be able to hop on the internet from my tablet without having to fiddle with my phone. Thanks.
Not sure if AutoTether is the solution but you can try.

I'm also interested in this since taking my phone out in the middle of class and turning on tethering would be severely frowned upon...and get my phone confiscated/get me 10+ detentions.
These are just some thoughts on what you think about Nexus 10 will get 3G?
Many did not believe Nexus 7 would get it, but it did. I bought this unit. But would rather have a Nexus 10 with 3G.
So, what do you think? Will they release such a version, or will it be only wifi?
I think it will just be a wifi version ...
Based on the N7 wouldn't 6 months or so be a good guess?
Got a 3g hotspot to with my N10 to work around the problem, actually worked out pretty well as it's easy to share access.

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.
