Can anyone with an Asus router, such as the RT-N56U, tell me if the 6P will usb tether to the router?
I do this with my Note II. Gives my whole house internet using the Asus router instead of the phone hotspot, and also get the benefit of ethernet connections and a better wifi signal than the phone can provide. And only having one wifi network to deal with makes things so much better. My Note 4 just sits in a drawer because of this, since it can't be rooted. Which is a shame because it has a better radio and can get sometimes 80mbps+, when the Note 2 only gets around 50mbps.
Well in case anyone else has this question, I went ahead and bought the 6P. Can confirm it worked straight out of the box, didn't have to even change any settings on my Asus router. Just plugged it into the router USB port, and selected USB tether on the 6P.
And the speed is incredible at my house:

Just to be clear, when I said I didn't need to change any settings on my router, meant because I had already set it up with a previous phone. If you've never set up the router to use a USB modem, you'll need to configure it. Very simple, at least on vzw, but not just plug and play.

Is anybody else getting very poor tethering support from their galaxy S?
I'm on rogers using the bell GT-i9000m and it's just terrible. If i don't use a third party program like pdanet my SC2 games will time out after 20 minutes and the internet will be very slow, yet internet on my phone will be very fast (3/3.5g).
Before anybody asks why I am gaming on a tethered phone instead of having a land line it's because my barracks are old and aren't wired for cable/dsl.
So...is there any alternative like "Wired tether for root useres" for a galaxy S? It didn't work the last time i tried to launch it.
PS. I'm using the "PC Internet" button when you plug in usb, as Kies doesn't want to launch for me without internet.
You tried pdanet or easytether? both allow usb tethering and don't need root access.
update: guess I did not read your post properly. I had read that the wifi tether isn't as fast as the cell connection.
What is wrong with sticking with pdanet anyway?
Using the original tethering function present in the International Galaxy S phone and it works perfectily.
Don't you have that in the US models ?

Ok, I've been around for a while among many of the popular android forums and I've seen many people state that they "know" someone who got a Novatel 727/760/etc working on their A500 or Xoom tablet but nothing substantial as to "how" they did it.
I know I can find plenty of threads detailing what is needed for Huawei branded modems and many of the custom roms already include support for these.
I'm hoping by starting this thread someone who "has" been able to get a Novatel dongle working might want to share how to get it done. Thanks in advance.
Bump...bump...
p.s. just to make this bump a little more signifigant I have found a temporary solution. I purchased a 3g router that works with my verizon 3g modem even though there was no supported manufacturer list prior to purchase, I made the leap and bought the WL330N3G made by ASUS. The router comes with a power supply but can also be powered of the A500's USB port making it very convenient but at the same time drains your battery.

It took me about a half an hour to get it configured and connected. The USB modem list does not have any Novatel modems listed but leaving modem selection to auto seems to work. Once setup, it takes about 2-3min to boot up and be connected.
I upgraded the firmware but I think it has some heat and cpu issues as sometimes it seems to lock up and I have to reboot the unit but on most occasions I get several hours of 3G internet for my tablet and other devices.
figured I'd put a bump on this. Maybe someone can suggest a rom that has support for more than the typical Huawei branded usb modems?
Anyone tried doing it? Do you get quite a bit of lag? I am connecting over my local Wifi and it is laggy.
(Turning off the screen increases lag a lot, but I guess that is because the CPU is slowed down, so that is OK.)
Well, I'm struggling to connect to mine
I know it's not my network because I can connect to my Iconia (on ICS), and my Iphone via wifi.
What rom are you using and how are you starting the ssh server on your Nexus?
As soon as I get it going I'll let you know about lag.
(My Iconia (on wifi) is very usuable - with only minor lag during login, but nowhere near as fast as my wired logins))

OK, I guess it is normal then, for me, it is usable, but slower than over ethernet. Pings are around 90ms, so that's just the way it is then.
I tried the DropBear SSH Server, SSHDroid just hung at initialisation. I also used a chrooted Ubuntu install with its own server, both were comparable in speed. Also I am using stock ROM.

Has anyone successfully connected a Verizon GN3 to an ASUS RT-AC56R router? I have been trying various settings for 3 days without any luck. If you know how to make this work (which it is supposed to do), then please post how you did it.
I am aware that I could use the GN3 as a WiFi hotpot, but I have a number of wired components throughout the house that are not WiFi capable.
Thanks

In order for you todo that you would have to set your router up as a repeater. Might be able to look up how todo that

Thanks.
The repeater mode only functions as a WiFi repeater. I'm looking to utilize a cable to connect via USB to phone. It sure seems to indicate that I *should* be able to make it work, somehow. For example:

I know that the phone itself works in USB tether mode, because USB tethering works fine when connected to a single computer.
Hi guys !
I'm coming here after having looked for an answer everywhere, checked the forums etc.
I actually find answers and topics with a similar problem but none helped me to fix my issue.
I have an Asus transformer T100TAF.
The wifi works well the first 30 minutes (sometimes it is an hour or two, it happens randomly) and then just stop working. Windows doesn't find any Wifi source (usually I can see the neighbours' wifi and of course mine). This logo show up :

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The only way to fix it is to reboot windows (and then about 30 minutes after, or 1h/2h ... after, the wifi stop working again).
The troubleshoot tell me "''The Broadcom 802. 11abgn wireless SDIO adapter adapter is experiencing driver- or hardware-related problems"
I can connect on my network from my other devices.
I tried updating the wireless adapter drivers.
Thanks for helping guys !
Acer W4 820
I have similar problem. Sometimes it happens. Mostly with bluetooth on.
W4 820
Same here. But im on windows10.
I realized it usually happens when I try to connect to a WiFi with low signal strength. It tries than it crashes . And won't turn back on with the disable enable trick. I moved closer to the router and enabled it again and it connected instantly. What driver do u use?
Get a usb wireless card from amazon. Panda wireless is pretty good
