WiFi tethering not getting internet access with Windows 8 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just recently got my Nexus 4.
I tried using tethering with my Nexus 7. A Macbook pro. And a different phone. And only with my Windows 8 PC it connects to the network but it doesn't get internet access.
The problem isn't with the PC since I was able to get online with my other phone (2.3).
Any ideas on what it could be?

I believe the ability to become a WIFI Router is built only into Windows 7 (I could be wrong though). I use Connectify (www.connectify.me) on my 7 machine... I haven't checked the site lately though, might be worth looking into.

[Q] USB Reverse Tethering

I was using connectify for phone but it makes my internet in pc sooo slow. Are there any way to get internet to phone via usb interface? Found some apps in play store but I think I would need another app in pc side
Probably with some hacking but I don't think it's possible as of now. Your only optionsare WiFi and mobile data.

Well if you have a laptop or a desktop with a Wi-Fi adapter, you can try this method: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/38835-42-create-virtual-wifi-router-internet-windows
I used it with this Wi-Fi adapter and it works just great.

Use phone as PC WiFi dongle

Hi guys,
The other day my Ethernet cable plugging my desktop PC into the router broke, meaning I now have no internet access on my PC.
I was wondering if there was some way to plug my phone in via USB, and use my phones WiFi signal to access internet on the computer.
Any one know how this can be done?
Thanks.

Yes, it's straight forward enough.
Connect your phone to your WiFi network
Hook up your USB
Then go to Settings > more > tethering & portable hotspot and tick USB tethering

I tried that and it wouldn't let me enable it - could it be a problem with the ROM? Miui v5

WiFi Authentication and connectivity Issue

Hi all...
I Have a wifi connectivity issue on my mobile ,
Make: Micromax
Model: canvas plus ( A110Q)
OS: Android Jllybean 4.2.1
i got Dell Inspiron Laptop ( N4050) which was installed with Windows 7 Ultimate. i have a broadband connection (LAN) . I had installed a hotspot program named Virtual Router which i used for connecting other wifi devices and also the mobile i mentioned above. everything was working fine. no issues with wifi connectivity and authentication....
BUT recently i did change my operating system to Windows 8.1 . the same hotspot cannot be used on windows 8, so i did used Virtual Router Plus ( an upgraded Version ) .... all my wifi devices are connecting and working perfectly through the new hotspot except this Micromax A110Q. it found wifi conection and asking for security. once security is entered it shows " saved and secured" but while connecting i shows " Authentication Problem "
Why this is happening to this particular mobile while all other android and windows devices are connecting and working perfectly...
totally i am confused...
Can some one help me?
Have you tried deleting and recreating the wifi connection on your mobile? Android can get very picky about that. I have had similar problems at times and this solves it.

My friend has same phone as I hv , and tab is getting connected to it very fine....
It has problem only with my phone ...
I hv factory reseted both android....
But none helped....
In rare cases I have run into wifi connections that either won't take certain characters or limit the length of the password. Have you tried a short simple password of just letters and numbers? Just suggesting a quick test; changing everything can be a royal pain.

My password is so simple that even a little kid can crack. . But the same mobile was able to connect through same wifi hotspot when i had windows 7. But things changed when i install windows 8..

when you upgraded windows and went with virtual router plus, did you change anything, such as the band(s) you are using? other than windows and your router software did you change anything else?

maybe try to change the hotspot name and pass? worked for me...
im using an xperia neo and cm10
for the hotspot im using mHotspot
did all those trick tricky things long days before... but i think what i am looking for is the bandwidth... driver alteration... or something serious stuff inside but i am no expert in internal stuffs and alteration ..
As i know...recent new patches not available for micromax but the virtual router customer service idea seems pretty.. I will give it a try...

having trouble with wifi

Just got my Nexus 10, so far I'm liking it. One problem I'm having is connecting to my wifi through my extender I can't get on the internet. It makes the connection to the extender, if I connect to my router it works fine. Only the extender is giving me trouble and I have to connect to the extender to be on the same network as my Chromecast in the bedroom. I'm on latest stock rom KitKat and not rooted (yet).
Got it working, restart extender. Simple fix.
