You're not understanding completely. My desktop computer does not have a built in wi-fi adapter, so I would have to use a wireless USB network adapter to get internet on this machine. Using this method, I was able to use the internet from my ISP (Cox Communications) rather than resort to using T-mobile's 3G network.
Let me do a flowchart for you:

Yeah, okay I did understand.
The phone can tether the cellular signal or the wifi signal.
It was implemented in froyo.
What is really cool is how fast it is. My computer is hard wired into my home network and when I activate tethering and disable the wired connection, the difference in speed tests and pings is imperceptible. They are both the same. Very impressive.

I like what you've done. You are tethering your computer to your phone via USB and then using your phone's WiFi connection to connect to your home's WiFi router, then on to Cox and the Internet.
In your diagram, the Internet doesn't lie between your phone and the computer. The Internet lies beyond your ISP. Otherwise nice.
Lastly, the tethering features were added by 2.2 as pointed out already.
Edit: added a diagram

By default wifi is set to sleep when the screen is off. Have you disabled this in wifi advanced settings?

Took me a few minutes to understand...
The point to note is: "tethering shares whatever internet connection is available"
1) Connect to the wifi network using your nexus one.
2) Share the internet via USB tethering.

Is this possible?

I have no Wireless networks around me, so I was wondering if it was possible to share my PC's internet with my phone.
I have this cable internet so no wireless :/.

No, just get a wireless cable router and connect the back of your modem to your router. Routers are quite cheap now starting at about £30. Now just use your wifi to connect to internet on phone without using your precious data.
You can also use your phone as a modem to connect your computer to the internet using your phones internet.

if you use xp see here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/adhoc.mspx
and windows 7 here

or you could get a wifi router

and some wifi routers will let you use a Ethernet cable as input - just plug the cable into one of the ports on the back (at least my netgear dg834g will let me)

Holy crap!
I never knew anything about this!
Thanks so much man!
I tried it, and it first says ''Connecting'' and then just disconnects.

Can Fix that

That one.

If you are on Windows 7, just use Connectify It's cheaper (free^^) than buying a router.

I used the AD-HOC thing, and it worked with CM.

it looks like cable modem only, no router.

SGS2 on 5GHz wifi

I recently got a new Airport Extreme Apple router [MD031LL/A] and wanted to know if the SGS2 can operate on the 5GHz WIFI frequency?
This router has both 2.4 and 5GHz frequencies.
thanks

Yep, mine can connect to my 5GHz wifi no problem.

Yes the SGS2 has a 5GHz Wi-Fi radio, and it worked for me with v2.3.3 of gingerbread, but since flashing any v2.3.4 it has not worked, though the 2.4GHz radio works in both versions.

Awesome!, but how do I set the sgs2 to pick up the 5ghz frequency?
It is turned ON on the airport extreme, but I don't see the SSID name associated with the 5ghz listed on the sgs2.
thanks

you shouldn't have to do anything, should just find it. I do find however the 5GHz band doesn't go through brick walls as well as 2.4GHz! so make sure your in the same room.

Based on your signature, you are using v2.3.4 of gingerbread, which like I said may not work.

Is there a solution to turn on support of 5GHz on SGS2?
Router works fine, notebook recieves 5GHz, sgs2 just don't see SSID. No difference between Auto mode and 5GHz.

As I said, no difference between variants on your screenshot, my sgs2 searches only for 2,4GHz networks. Looks like 5GHz option is locked on devices for some countries

WiFi battery drain

I have terrible battery at home, but ok at work. Looking at my graph, the first 2 and last wifi line is home, the 3rd is at work. Mostly screen off. What's going on? Is there a router setting I can change?

I had bad battery life on my S4 right after release. I tracked it down to Multicast being ENABLED on one of my Access Points. I would recommend logging into your routers and/or) access points and look for anything related to Multicast and Disable it (or uncheck it).
Granted this was for a totally different device (note that my Nexus 7 was NOT affected by multicast) but it certainly cant hurt anything by disabling multicast..If it does, just enable it again.
My S4 was using approx 5%-8% of battery per hour with multicast enabled...once I disabled it, I now drain about 1% per hour.
This took me almost 2 weeks to discover...keeping in mind that my S4 never connected to the affected AP. I use that AP for older legacy devices.....just having it on the network affected my S4.
Give it a try..if it does not work..enable it again.

That does sound logical, and I've read about that in other threads. I have a WRT54G router and see nothing about multicast other than "filter multicast" under security (block LAN requests) which is checked to prevent multicast.
The other thing that has changed recently is I switched Cable modems from Cisco 2100 to Motorola SB6141. Not sure if I can change anything in it or if could cause problems.

I was running Tomato on the WRT54G and that is the setting I was referring to (but under tomato its in FIrewall - "Allow MultiCast"
It seems that you have the "correct" setting - To block multicast - As such, I'm sorry that my fix didnt work for you..
As far as the new Modem, it may be possible that multicast is enabled on the new one. Im not even sure if that is a setting you can change as those motorolas are locked down pretty tight by the ISP's

Tegra Note is Haunted, disconnects internet when i enable Wifi on it.

Ji
I am using Tegra Note 7 with 4.4.2.
When ever i connect to my wifi, the internet at my home goes dead
Normaly my internet is all fine and dandy, and i can connect other devices like phones etc to my wifi.
However there is a dark mystery revolving my Xolo Tegra Note 7
When i switch on the wifi in the tablet, it makes the internet ping go higher and higher till it disconnects
Here is a screenshot of my pings

As you can see, the moment i flip the wifi button on my tablet, pings go climbing, and when i switch the wifi off, the internet becomes normal
.
This problem started 2 days ago. I use Dataone broadband from BSNL India. Why is that only my tablet causes this problem and not other devices? When i connect my phone to wifi and then connect tegra note to phone via Bluetooth internet sharing, same problem occurs.. Its like the tablet is sucking everything it connects

2spooky4me....
but have you configured VPNs in tab ?? ..
I think somehow your setup creates a n/w loop by multi-nic of tablet..
But since, I am not a Networking expert..
Can you try the same in some friends house... ( may be its your house thats haunted ) Joking :laugh:
Isolate the problem onto ISP by taking the tab to a friends house with Airtel / Reliance / any other broadband provider and then report.

Guys, iy was my GOOGLE AUTO BACKUP. Google+ had consumed 13 GB man, 13 friggin GB!!! All ym videos and photos are on Google Drive now, LOL.
its like that Fappening incident..
