Share Laptop's Wireless With Phone

So the situation is I am renting and using the wireless network in the house (Router is upstairs). My laptop connects fine but my phones internet is laggy sometimes because the router is kinda far. So im wondering if I could connect my phone to the internet via my laptop.
Windows 7 and my laptop is connected to internet VIA wifi so I dont thin Ad-Hoc will work...

Yep, Microsoft recently added support for virtual routers

Just install that app, you will be up and running in minutes.

Thanks man, this is great.
BTW, what version are you using? Cause I downloaded the newest version and it wouldn't work so I downloaded an older version v1.2 and it worked. Seems like its a known problem.
Im using 2.0.1
I seem to remember that i had trouble to start with but it was windows firewall misbehaving.
can use that too? i am using windows xp and i have internet from USB stick - can i make a wireless network so my phone can use it too ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
it seems it is for windows 7 only
any other aplication out there that can do this with XP ?
Im afraid its only compatible with vista onwards ...
EDIT: You should be able to set up an adhoc connection with your phone though

"Reverse tethering" using PC internet connection

Hello all,
after reading and searching a few hours about this, I have to make a new thread because I cant manage to make it work.
I have got an cable internet connection at work, and and samsung galaxy. I want to use my computers internet connection to get my galaxy online. There seems to be something like an ad hoc internet connection which can be shared over wifi using connectify. The problem although is that this can only be used with windows 7 and unfortunately my work pc is still XP...
My previous phone was an HTC HD2, and now I was satisfied with the galaxy, but when the HD2 was connected with active sync, it automatically used the pc's internet connection.... Huge fail in my opinion!
any suggestions here to make it work?
thank you!
Maybe this?
Everybody would like to thank you for opening a new topic on an overdisscused subject!
Sent from my fingers!
ad hoc on a win7 won't work out of the box with your i9000(undiscoverable network), i give winxp a better change. =/
I also tried to use an ad-hoc network with Windows 7 - no luck, the Galaxy doesn't detect the network for some reason. I am able to detect and connect to the ad-hoc network with an iPad however... odd.
Hi
Nice thread.
Actually I've been using a WinMob since last many years and now shifted to SGS.
WM 2002-WM6.5 all when connected via usb to PC use PC internet connections. No tethering or reverse of the same is required. This is painfully missing in android phones, I've checked with HTC desire also.
SMS management also in WM was much better and advances, You can have drafts, sent, outbox separate storages and folders. I had over 300 msgs in drafts, here no such option.
ad-hoc
I guys, i think i can help with some info.
In some foruns the solution is to unroot the deviceand install some apps.
I would prefer to do it without unrooting.

Wifi problem on my hd2

I just got an HD2 (flashed windows 7) and when I try connecting it to my home network, it will say connecting and then after a while it shows "Connection Unsuccessful"
I have a linksys wrt610n router, and i even tried resetting the router but still the problem persists.
First I thought it might be a phone issue, but it was connecting perfectly fine to the local library's hotspot and a starbucks hotspot. So that means, it's definitely something wrong with my house network that it won't let me connect.
All the other devices : ipod touch, laptop, xbox 360, connect fine to the network.
Please help me with this issue, as I am using HD2 without a data plan so without wifi,i cant fully use the functionalities of hd2.
Thanks.
Is your ssid hidden? Wp7 has troubles with that, you could try the wp7 section without sounding cocky, there is a couple of threads mate about it, more help in there.
Sent from my HTC Leo using XDA Premium App
Yeah, even before flashing the rom the same problem existed. I think it's something wrong with my network, as I am able to connect perfectly fine with at a starbucks hotspot.
And no it's not hidden. The networks visible and the name of the network is with spaces -> cow boy , does that make a difference?
do you have mac filtering or anything turned on liked that in the router setup ??
do you have any crazy characters in the password like %^& ??? that could be a prob not sure also check these out looks like it could be a sd card problem, have you ever had it connect using android or winmo 6.5???

[Q] Cannot Activate The Wifi Hotspot

Hi,
Redmi Note 4G (HM NOTE 1LTE)
Android 4.4.4 KTU84P
MIUI 5.3.27 (latest weekly).
The phone succeeds connecting to the internet through the mobile network.
When setting a hotspot in the phone, I succeed to connect to the phone from my laptop, but there is no internet access in my laptop.
The strange thing is, that if I'm connecting the laptop to the phone through the USB cable, and turn tathering in the phone through USB, and connect to the phone to the WIFI network, the laptop succeeds to access the internet through the phone.
Once I set the phone to go to the internet through the mobile network, the laptop loses the access to the internet.
Thanks,
Ofir.
What OS do you use in the laptop? There are some old and well known issues with WiFi tethering and Windows (these can be solved). If you use Windows, I'm pretty sure that your phone is OK.

Windows 7. But I'm sure it is not the laptop, as I do succeed to use a hotspot with the same SIM when used from iPhone...
Also, as written, the hotspot is working when connected over USB and the phone connects over WIFI.
The issue I'm talking about exists specifically between Windows 7 and Android devices only. I faced that with some phones I had. Just google "wifi tethering android windows 7 not working" to find that there are many people with this problem (like this).
Just to be sure you could try to connect with another laptop running another system (I never had a problem with Linux - Ubuntu/Mint/Fedora/Gentoo). If you don't have one, you can download and burn a live CD.
Most suggestions are installing third party apps, you can try some free apps on Play Store which perhaps enable tethering in some more compatible way. I solved my issues with an init.d script but don't remember what it exactly did (changed some sysctl values every boot).
Or you could change ROM and see if problem is solved. Try Mokee, or MIUI v6.

Thanks!!!
What has solved it was installing a tathering rooted app. It seems that in this phone, even if my service provider allows me to use a hot spot, and although the phone interface allows me to activate the hot spot, I still had to root the machine and install such app to really enable it.

Galaxy S8 mobile hotsppt problem?

Hi
I got my s8 two days ago and I have a weird problem with the device. I'm trying to use the wifi hotspot but some devices can not connect to the network.
My old android phone and some other phones and laptops can use the connection but I busted my ass to connect my macbook pro to the hotspot but it's not possoble.
The network is visible but when I click on it to connect, it says "Move closer to the router" in mac and the connection is limited on windows. Some other devices can connect and use the network but that damn macbook is my primary device.
I'm out of ideas... can anybody please help?
Should I return the phone and get another one?
Anybody?!
