Have you had any luck yet?
I am looking to connect several Nexus 4 (mako) devices together using wifi ad-hoc mode, but the Nexus 4 uses a different Wi-Fi chipset than most devices. There has been good work done on the Broadcom chipset (Google search for: thinktube IBSS), but I am having difficulty finding anything for the Murata Wi-Fi chip which is found in Nexus 4 according to ifixit.

There are ROMs that have ad-hoc built in

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

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.

[Q] infrastructure tethering

I believe the default hot spot for the Nexus 4 for is an adhoc network. In order for my car radio to connect to my phone I need to be able to have an Infrastructure network. I know other phones can do this, hopefully the nexus 4 can too. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :good:

This should work

Doesn't seem to be doing the trick

Wifi not connecting 5ghz, sw or hw problem

Hey guys
I got my n4 last week and I noticed my wifi (on 2.4ghz) did not work that great. I upgraded to 4.3 and enabled 5ghz on my router. It worked like a charm and I got 30 down without a problem. When I started installing custom roms it would no longer connect to 5ghz. I tried almost all modems and it does not work, it just does not connect. I tried factory reset back to 4.2.2 and it still does not work. Did I break my hardware or can it be fixed with sw?
Thanks..
Ps: I am currently on an EDGE network with low signal strenght. When my wifi is not connected I get better signal..

Most likely hardware unfortunately.

You sure? I can connect fine to 2.4ghz networks now, just 5ghz does not work, but that seems to be a common problem?

Strange, one works but the other doesn't.
Did you try reflashing the radio and which radio do you have?

Yes I tried flashing almost all radios.. Using .84 now. And I can see the network, most of the time, but when I try to connect, it just loses it and can not see it anymore.

Try flashing a custom rom, that fixed my Bluetooth issue so it should help you.

Yeah you should, looks like the WiFi chip is not working with dual band correctly.

Thanks for your input, strange that it worked at the beginning with 5ghz only and now with 2.4 ghz only

Before sending it back you should flash it to the stock rom and lock the bootloader, of course quickly check if WiFi works with both bands properly and if that fails then wipe the data.

Wifi issue 5ghz

I have two networks 2.4 and 5 ghz. My phone can connect to the 2.4ghz. But when i try to connect to the 5ghz it only says saved. My wifi works on every computer and i have tried restarting both the router and my phone. I re installed my rom too. This just started happening an hour ago. If you have any suggestions that would be appreciated. Thank you.

Oh really?, I use 5GHz but I did not look in the settings since I do not exactly own the router.

Just for knowledge - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
Scroll to 5GHz channel list
