[Q] Can anyone here properly Tether with Froyo and Windows 7?

- Ive been trying to use the built in wifi tether and usb tether and neither work.
- I'm able to connect to the wireless AP but i cannot get an IP address
- Ive tried PDANet and that works, so i can only assume other third party ones will also work.
- I have an HTC Desire. Ive tried using OpenDesire (many, many different revisions) and Oxygen. Both by AdamG, but i doubt it makes a difference.
- I can tether with the built in Froyo tether function on a macbook pro. Which means the problem is with Windows 7!
Am i missing a step?

A couple times to get it to work properly on my Droid, I had to run a command prompt as admin and force an IP renew for my internet to connect/work.

using Wireless tether for root I was able to use my internet from the 3g on a windows 7 laptop (incurred a HUGE bill from Vodafone UK, they know I didn't use my phone to browse and charged me) but it worked.

...I cant believe doing a release renew worked lmao
thanks!

No issue on stock Nexus

I use Wi-Fi tethering almost every day; it works even better than USB tethering with my old Nokia phone. I have a stock HTC Desire as designated in my signature and a Sony VAIO with Windows 7 Professional x64. Tethering to an iPad also works great.
PDANet only does USB and Bluetooth as far as I can remember. Anyhow, I think the fact that you can't USB tether points to a Windows driver issue. Strangely enough, I've had driver issues myself - then I realized that I don't need USB. I just use an FTP and Wi-Fi tethering works as expected anyway.

Useing Wi-Fi tethering every day & USB tethering once in a while with no issues. It's my Nexus FRG83D to Windows 7 Home Premium x64. Sounds like your PC drivers...

I already fixed it. Thanks.

but icant do it how it works? <-- karşıyaka rent a car www.izmirrentacarrental.com/karsiyaka-oto-kiralama.html rent a car'dan kiralayın

Incredibly Slow WiFi Speeds - XPS M1530

Well I did some research on Google, and the solution can't be to just get a new wireless card.
I just installed Windows 8 Professional, and I'm running a Dell XPS M1530 (2.1Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Model, 4gb Ram)
I understand it is a little dated, but my WiFi is INCREDIBLY Slow.. Speedtest.net shows download speeds of no more then 2-3mbps, Windows 7 64 was giving me 20-25mbps, also all my Android Devices are showing the same as well.
This is a fresh install so there should be nothing using my WiFi on the system.
The Wifi Card that came with the PC is a
Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card by Broadcom
I can't find a solution, I downloaded a 80mb drivers from Broadcom that was for Windows 7 (No download for Windows 8) and it just failed, I don't understand where Windows 8 automatically got its driver from then. Right now I'm messing with settings to see if I can get my original speeds back, but I was hoping someone else who had a WiFi issue like this one could help me out?
======================SOLVED======================
Ok, if anyone is having this issue with ANY dell laptops that aren't giving correct speeds and you are running any of the following chipsets/models of wireless:
1390, 1490, 1500 series
Then you need to download the following from Dell's website
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails?driverId=GGMKP&fileId=2940568496
You will notice is says it is for users outside of the US and JAPAN, but it worked completely fine for me, and I am in the US (So is my laptop )
Anyway, uninstall the older drivers you have by going to Device Manager, and then just run this installer, everything should install fine and Wireless will be up and running with no problems!

Try running the driver installer in Win7 compatibility mode. Win8 is NT 6.2 (Win7 was 6.1) and should be backward-compatible for drivers. However, many driver installers will fail if they *think* they are on h wrong version.
Alternatively, make sure that 802.11n mode, or at least a or g mode, is enabled in the driver. It sounds like you're getting 802.11b speeds. I don't know *why* the driver would default to using b only, but it is an option on pretty much all WiFi drivers. You can find this setting by accessing the driver through the Device manager, or the Network Connections Adapter Properties info.

I will have to update my post. I tried all settings, there wasn't even anything for N, but I set it to B/G and just G, but I was getting the same speeds.
After much research I came across some fellas that were using the Dell Wireless 1510 (I'm on 1505) and they were having the same exact issue. One solution was to download a specific driver to get the wireless to function properly and extra the .INF files to install manually. Well I did that and I got IRQ errors in Windows 8 resulting in crashes. I looked more on Dell's website and found some drivers for the 1505, 1510 and a bunch of 40xx series if I remember correctly, as well as many others that are used to fix this issue, and they worked in Windows 8 without compatibility mode and installed fine.
I now have my 25/4 connection back on track!
I'm going to edit my post as soon as I get the files and correct links around, I know a lot of people may be having this issue with Dell Laptops and Dell Wireless hardware and just don't know it, I didn't notice until I started downloading files.

[Q] CM10 4.1.2 wifi interfering with notebook wifi

Hey guys,
I recently started using Quarx CM10 11-05-2013 and minimal gapps from tejus.k.v
Everything is working well, it's too recent for me to say otherwise. But one thing I noticed is that everytime I connect to the wifi on my Defy, my notebook starts getting reception problems. If I keep pinging the router and everything is smooth while my device's wifi is disabled, but when I enable it, my notebooks starts to miss some packages. I only realized it in my Windows 8 notebook. I work with a MacBook Pro and I didn't notice this issue. I kept the two of them pinging the router and on the mac, everything smooth, on the windows, a lot of packages missing.
My router is a Linksys E2500. The issue appears on a notebook with Windows 8 and NOT on a mac book pro. I also thinks it happens on another Windows 7 notebook.
Does anyone had anything similar to this?
TIA

I have the same issue , its the new wifi drivers fault.
Not sure why Quarx ignore the problem.
I have tested now with four different routers and every laptop or phone conected have issues while i am connected.

Do you think the 22/05 build fixed this problem? Some guys are saying the phone is rebooting when you disable the wifi so maybe he tweaked the wifi drivers a little bit.

[Q] Wi-Fi doesn't reconnect after returning from standby

I'm running Windows 8.1 Update 1 on my laptop, but whenever I come out of standby, I have to go to the device manager and disable and then enable my Wi-Fi card. I have tried updating the Wi-Fi card to the newest version I could find. Later today I'll post the computer model and the Wi-Fi card when I get home.

That's a KNOWN issue if you are using a Dell Venue 8 Pro. I've done numerous Windows updates and driver updates from DELL's webpage, but this doesn't resolve the issue. I simply reboot the unit when I need to re-connect. The issue is an intermittent one for me.

I'v seen the same problem with my Asus Vivotab Note 8. If it's been in standby for very long, once you wake it up, it'll show connected, then will change to limited connectivity. The only way to get it back is to turn wifi off then back on.

OK so my laptop is an older one, the HP Compaq nx9420 with the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG network adapter. I know it's an old laptop, but when I was running just Windows 8, not 8.1, the connection was fine after standby.

What wifi device is actually in use on the venue 8 pro and the vivotab note 8? Wondering if there is a pattern.
I myself havent had this issue in windows 8.0, 8.1 or 8.1 update 1 on an HP sleekbook using the qualcomm atheros AR9485

My DV8P is using an Atheros card as well for WiFi

Well my laptop was shipped with Windows XP preinstalled, so its a pretty old computer. It runs Windows 8.1 almost seamlessly though, the only problem I have is lag in the start screen (avoided as much as possible) and this Wi-Fi adapter problem. If needed, I can post a screenshot of the driver information/version.

This is the driver version and information for the adapter.

Dated 2010, I presume you have tried updating/checking for newer driver revisions?

Yes I have tried to update my driver, this is the latest that I could find, there may be newer ones though.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do this, but the thread is now essentially closed, I got a new laptop over the weekend, the Asus F200CA. Thanks for everyone that posted and helped me out.

You can *actually* close it, since it's your thread... There's a "close thread after posting" checkbox available to you.

Problems with Tethering

Hi xda-community,
I've got a Problem with USB Tethering with the Nexus 4:
Tethering itself works, but my PC is running so slow, taskbar is unusable.
Can someone Help? Im Clueless.
System:
Windows 8.1 Update 1
Intel i5
Nvidia GeForce GT240
12GB Ram
Smartphone:
Nexus 4 (mako) unbranded.
BL unlocked, Rooted.
Rom: Cyanogenmod CM11 (Latest Nightlies, but Problem is also on M6)

That's strange. Why would your tethering affect PC performance? Is it only when tethering or is it whenever your device is connected?
Does it happen on other computers or is it just that one? ..

Probably like many and me, you too could make activated Windows 8.1 through a TAP Driver activator. I don't why the very same thing occur to me, with multiple 8.1 PCs and tethering phone combos. Everything that works fine in Windows 7 and 8 messes in 8.1. As you said I too face extremely irresponsive Taskbar particularly the Wi-Fi Network selecting sidebar that doent even popup when USB Tether is done. A sec I disconnect everything happens one by one immediately. I can't even diagnosis the IP of connection due to this lag despite its extreme slow..

I activated Windows 8.1 with a valid licence.
PC is only slow when tethering is ENABLED, not if i just
connect phone to computer.
I managed to get it working that way:
Pull out Lan-cable, but keep activated the Lan
Network adapter. Activate Tethering.
It just works fluid, dont know why.

Yes PC's Network and sharing center goes wild only with tethering and not with normal MTP or PTP connections. Plus I tried to Pull out Lan-cable and yet keep activated the Lan Network adapter. Nothing happen new, same lag occur. If possible, I'll post a video to denote what happens in my PC soon..

I think it is a NDIS driver problem:
