I was just wondering how to Use My wired Broadband Connection on my Android phone. I Searched it and found something like a "Wireless USB WiFi Router" but i dont know weather it would act as a Hotspot?and convert the broadband into a WiFi signal? Is this the right thing im looking for? Please help!

I personally have not used that specific app but most phones support netive tethering (or sharing your broadband, if that floats your boat). I personally recomend FoxFi, an app developed by the makers of PDAnet, a reliable tethering app. Search the Play Store on YOUR COMPUTER first. Some carriers block the app from showing. Have fun and don't get caught.

He wants to use his cable/dsl connection on his phone, not the other way around.
Connectify might work if you have a Wi-Fi adapter on your PC. But it would probably just be easier to get a wireless router.

After rooting my phone I figured i would give the hotspot a shot. But when i try to browse on my ipad it brings me to the VZW self provision broadband page.
I normally use wifi tether, but i would rather be able to use the built in because its an infasture netowork vs the ad-hoc wifi tether gives me.
Not the case

actually your right and your wrong at the same time sadly; your right about the infrastructure network vs ad-hoc, but wrong about the 3g hotspot app vs. tethering & portable hotspot not an app.
The 3g hotspot app is a verizon product not googles in the sense your looking at.
The tethering & portable hotspot should have been activated in wireless & networks section, right between "Bluetooth setting & VPN settings" from a froyo(2.2) google standpoint but in our case its not even there.
Hope this clears up the mistakes about froyo tethering & portable hotspot and verizon 3g mobile hotspot app.
Yes it does thanks! I have a nexus one So i know what your talking about.

if your rooted.. download "wireless tether for rooted" wam bam thank you mam.. all done..

he stated in the post that he was rooted, he just wanted to use the native tethering application.
Does this mean that if we can get a vanilla Froyo or a custom ROM compiled from source that we'll have the true Android hotspot?

That's all fine and well except that the wifi tether app runs in adhoc mode not infrastructure.

why do not you just use pdanet from market?
There was a new experimental Wifi Tether build that was released dismorning bringing it up to Pre9. I was unable to find a change log, still adhoc?

Pdanet creates an ad hoc network just like every other third party app.

If its just the one computer you are logging on with use the BT method very easy and works quite well for free and even on non-rooted phone
something my last desire never had and something i didn't even know the ns had. after completely screwing up the build system on ubuntu here, it was something i desperately needed. my wifi drivers are borked, so i can't access wifi and was considering a complete reformat, until i noticed the menu option...
thank you ns!
Yeah pretty sweet, i use the portable hto spot option quite a bit , very nifty indeed
btw: is there something like tho opposite of that? sharing a wired pc internet connection with the ns via usb.
Yes. You connect the USB to your nexus s. Then you don't turn on the USB storage. Go to settings wireless options and click on tether.

uhm no - that's regular tethering, isn't it? I meant the other way around. The pc is plugged in to wired internet. And I want to use that for surfing on the phone without having wifi or mobile data activated

Hmm maybe a dev will get on top of this
Oh ic. Sorry. I read that wrong. I don't think There is a simple way to do it. I remember there's a program that lets you turn your laptop into a wireless router. You plug in the Ethernet to your laptop and use the program to transmit the radio like a router. You can probably then use the phone's wifi to connect to that. Ive never tried it but theoretically it should work. Good luck

ehmm...
usb tethering is not something like
" i connect my laptop with the usb port of my NS that(my phone) has internet access over the mobile network and i can use that on my laptop either"??
i mean wi-fi tethering is "sharing" phone's internet connection with other phones/wi-fi enabled devices to access the internet via wireless connection...
so usb tethering should be the same but with cable obviously..
or am i getting something wrong here?

no. that's a hotspot. meaning devices connect to your ns like a router. you can even set a password and session id for your phone
is it possible?
please no questions of "why do you need that"
or why not wifi
yes it is possible. if you have stock Atrix firmware there are multiple threads about tethering. I believe you will at least have to rooted. If you have unlocked bootloader I think some of the custom roms have tethering enabled.
THIS app is what I use for USB wired tethering.
PDAnet my friend
You may be confused about what the OP is asking. He wants to use the internet connection from his PC for his Atrix to piggyback on. I don't know about USB, but if you have a wireless adapter, you can run the program connectify and the atrix can see your PC internet as a wifi connection.

CaelanT, thanks for the link, looks rather complicated, but ill have a look at that

This is where I wish android supported ad hoc. I have wifi at my office but im not allowed to connect my phone. I can set up a ad hoc from my lap top that android detects but doesn't support. And there is no future plans to add support

Hi I have a PC connect via ethernet to the internet, I would like to connect my phone to the computer so I can broadcast my computers internet connection to my iPad for example. Don't want to use mobile data tethering thanks. I can use either a HTC Hero or Samsung GS2. Is this possible at all? any apps that will let me do this?
I'm not sure if it forces mobile data when hotspot is enabled.
If not, I'd connect the phone to the PC using internet pass through with mobile data disabled and hot spot enabled. I'm unsure if it will use your PC's internet when broadcasting though

You want your computer to be a Wi-Fi router? Try Connectify. You will need a Wi-Fi card to make it work.

I'm also looking for the same kind of thing...but couldnt find any..
The series is like Computer(with internet) >> Phone(Getting internet via "Internet Pass Through") >> Broadcasting that internet using WifiHotspot
Is that possible?

If your computer has a Wi-Fi card/builtin, you can use something like Connectify to turn your computer into a hotspot.
When you say wifi card thats the same thing as a wireless card?If yes then I can use my laptop as a hotspot?how do I do that exactly. Thanks

Like a PCI card or it's built into all laptops built in the last ten years.
If I had a wireless card..I wouldnt even bother about getting a phone with "Internet Pass Through"
What I am asking is "A Desktop without a wifi card but has a wired internet connection needs to provide internet to a laptop"
What are we having with us? - A Phone with "Internet Pass Through" enabled
A Desktop (With no WIFI card)
A Laptop (With a WIFI card ofcourse)

Laptop would work. It has built-in Wi-Fi and probably a 10/100[/1000] ethernet port.

You still don't understand mate...
What I meant to say is
PC is WIRED with broadband connection...It is passed to the phone using Internet Pass Through...
Now THE GOLDEN QUESTION IS HOW TO BROADCAST THIS INTERNET(that is present in the phone through IPT) USING ANY HOTSPOT APP!

follow this reverse tethering guide (i've tested this one and it's working):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
and when it's done... try and activate the wifi hotpot feature of your android phone.

Oh gotcha. Sounds like you got an answer above but if that doesn't work, hook your phone up to the laptop and use an app like Connectify on that laptop. Sorry I didn't understand.

Hey guys, so I am looking for a way or an app, to create a wifi Hotspot with my phone, from which other phones can connect through my phone and use my Internet connection.
Kinda like the typical mobile Hotspot, but with the difference that my phone will be on wifi and not on 3g. So all the devices will connect to me and use the wifi through my phone.
Is there a way to do this?

There is a concept for this called OpenGarden on the PlayStore. Some devices may not have mesh networking capability.
Sounds interesting.. Will check it out, thanks.
