Your laptop doesnt have wifi?

I asked a similar question sometime ago, please check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772244
The conclusion was: if you want to use your laptop's internet on the HD2 (in some kind of reverse tethering), the best is to use a software like VirtualRouter or Connectify to make an Acess Point from your wifi card that your HD2 can easily connect to. I am sorry, but there's not an easy USB solution like you have for Windows Mobile. I hope one day they to it, though.

You shouldnt need any special extra software. It just might be something that doesnt work in the kernal at the moment.
Native android devices can do it aslong as they are rooted.
Lets not say it isnt possible as that makes android sound gimp

My problem is: in my room..wifi is only enough for my lap ( HD2 can connect the wifi but because the wifi signal too weak...) and i'm using internet in my lap by wifi...so i cant using wifi tethering...hic....any solution??

Try WiFi internet sharing in Windows from your laptop.

but can i do something to make that unreliable connection work ? I wanted to make that unreliable connection work. Can it be done by rooting?

No. Your tablet won't change the fact that your provider is the problem. The nexus 7 and tf101 have shown me that Asus makes the best WiFi radios. The problem must be your modem or router.

My WiFi connection on n7 is crappy as well. All my other devices are good when I'm on my room except the n7. It's definitely a lemon unit I got. I remedied it by installing connectify on my desktop. But then it is not a good solution as my desktop need to be always on. I haven't brought mine to service center, coz they may refuse it as I lost my warranty card.
To OP, better bring it to service center.

WiFi tethering not getting internet access with Windows 8

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?

Stock Android does not support WiFi direct. It uses bluetooth to transfer. I would try the Superbeam app (You have to install it on both phones). Are your other phones working on the 5GHz WiFi band? If so, what channel is your router broadcasting at? Some people have issues with the Nexus 4 not connecting to bands 12 and 13 (if my memory is correct), but not all (My 211k Nexus is fine). Are you running stock? If not, what ROM and kernel are you running? Have you tried to disable WiFi optimization (Settings>WiFi>Menu button>Advanced>WiFi Optimization)?

I recently moved to another location and found out Nexus having hard time to connect to Google through Wifi(grey wifi bar appears often). Surfing internet is also dramatically slower than before. I do not know if it is Google I/O related issue (namely software issue) or router (namely hardware issue)?
All my PCs and another Samsung Android phone work fine with the new router. What's happening?

[Q] wifi and firewall

hi, I just got a Galaxy note 4, I can connect to wifi everwhere but not at work. I get error that password is incorrect, I have the same password so I know my password. My stepson has a galaxy s5 and has no problem connection. I actually just returned my first phone after trying 5 days to get it connect at work. Both Comcast box and firewall have been reset. So I am not sure where to go stepson suggest change to developer operating system. I have tried safe mode, soft reset and factory reset to no luck.
This is last resort - before I return and get a different brand/model phone

if you can connect everywhere except work its your work problem. some workplaces use cisco and proprietary protocols to login to wifi after connection. if your workplace does that you will not be able to connect. no phone will. ask your work wifi to use WPA2 with AES instead of some proprietary protocol for wifi. if your son has installed some non standard rom to get his s5 to connect you will need to buy an s5 and do the same.

It is very likely that your work uses wifi protected setup. You need access to router or access point to finish setup. Ask your IT guys to help you. It needs to be done once only.

Response from my IT guys - -they are very helpful since this is a personal phone and not company issued.
I don't have a good reason for this one device to have a problem connecting to this one network. I believe we have eliminated common errors such as mistyped or incorrect password, since you have personally been able to connect other devices without issue. This also eliminates the possibility of a 1-time setup or authorization requirement, as you did not need that for the other devices. I will need to look into whether there could be a technological incompatibility between the two devices.
We will look into this further and have to get back to you.

We have a WPA2. We have people come visit all the time and have them connect.
I am just wondering in there is something in this phone operating system that is more technological updated than the systems we are using and could be the problem

I still would try to use Wifi Protected Setup. It is software depended and Note 4 is capable of using WPS while many others not. It is possible that software in Note 4 sensing that access point has that feature and requesting it. Im not network specialist but I setup few laptops for my friends. They were using Dell Vostro laptops and by default they required using WPS to connect to home network. Once that feature was disabled they connected with no problem using user password.

not possible since i have connected to both WPA2-PSK AES and WPA2-EAP AES systems. EAP requires a username/password instead of just a password.
the only system i have not been able to connect to is a WPA-CKIP and WPA2-CKIP which is a cisco proprietary protocol.

connection made

Hi all,
My Phone has connected to the company wifi. I was searching for an infinity hot spot since I am an infinity customer and was scanning and then I am connected to the company wifi. Then it began to do all these updates and I did nothing to prompt this. (weird since it can connect at home and this did not happen) I have been in contact with Samsung and have been explaining my issue - part of their process is you need to enter model and serial number- is it possible for them to track my phone - I am wondering as when I have called HP for service they can find my laptop. Very weird, but I am happy, Hopefully it will continue to work like this and I can begin to use this phone to its full potential.

yes samsung and google can both track your phone.
