Hi
Stock ROM, try to connect an ASUS laptop to the hotspot.
USB tethering works fine but charges the battery too high / drains the laptop battery.
I swear in the past it wasn't so sensitive but now I connect but seemingly as soon as I try to do anything on the connection, it dies.
Anybody else experiencing this sort of continual flakeyness?
Tried all the options I can think of:
- 2.4 v 5Ghz band flipping
- Disabling DNSfilter (though USB tethering works fine with it on)
- disabling power saving on the laptop WiFi adaptor
Possibly more changes I can't recall just now.
Would appreciate any constructive ideas, thanks for reading!

Hi,
I use WMWifiRouter to share the 3G internet on my Hermes on my laptop. The problem I'm facing is, even with the battery fully charged and having the mobile on AC power - the battery runs out by 3 hours at max.
Is this normal behavior? Is the power consumption really that high when using internet (GPRS/HSDPA) and Wifi at the same time?
(my apologies in advance if this has already been answered - i tried the search )

I don't know exact figures, but usually running 3g/HSPDA will drain the battery pretty fast, using WiFi will do the same, both together and I think it could be reasonable to see the phone die after a few hours of constant usage. But, if its plugged into AC power, I don't see why it would drain at all, or at least that fast...I am sure someone with more knowledge than me will chime in as well...
i used to be regular wmwifirouter user with my hermes and i can confirm that battery will jux drain regardless u put it in charge with usb or ac.
if i recall correctly, i think i see it somehere tat hermes has known issue that the charging will stop if it's get overheat and YES when using WIFI & 3G it can fried egg.
anyway, i hv quit wmwifirouter and stick to internet sharing with bt / usb
thanks for your responses... i guess than this is not unexpected.
and yes, it does heat up like anything. Also, sometimes it would stop charging as soon as i launch WMWifiRouter (infact i've noticed this behavior without WMWifi Router too :S) but usually quitting and restarting WMWifirouter or restarting the device fixes it.
The reason I can't use it with BT is that the signals in my room are really low, so i usually leave it in one end of the room where the signals are relatively strong and connect via Wifi
tried an HSDPA router I got from work, that fixes my issues, but I am still evaluating whether its worth it to purchase a router of my own
I have heard about 300 varieties at connecting my phone, (Thunderbolt)'s internet 3G/4G connection to my Acer Iconia.
I am just curious how y'all get it to work. I have tried Barnicle, [ad-hoc, not immediately supported by Honeycomb] (Works fine on my laptop [LinuxOS]
PDA net Bluetooth Dun, (Don't have the option in Honeycomb to enable bluetooth device for internet usage. (I do on my mom's Xoom))
Anyway, I am just curious how you guys are able to get this going. I have heard WiFi is faster, but Bluetooth is more energy conservative.. I'm only worried about batter on my phone, however.
I am running Honeycomb Stock+root 3.1, and CM7 on my TB
Thanks in advance for your patience. xD

From Your phone select Settings, Wireless and Network, Tethering, Mobile AP
Turn it on and it will create an Access Point called Android AP
Connect your tablet by WiFi and you're done.
Hi dudes, im new...and old^^
does anyone know how to fasten the wifi ?
Hoped the rooted pad + revolver rom worx faster with wifi...
But nothin noticeable faster with wifi...
THX 4 answers!!!
BEst regards, Oliver
what are you talking about?
...the wireless internet connection from the eee pad is slow as hell!
You keep using that word, 'fasten'. I don't think it means what you think it means.
ok well in order to give you and advice or help or tips on how to speed up your throughput over your wifi connection, we're gonna need to know exactly how your network is setup. router, other wireless and wired clients that might be on the network, wireless configuration and settings on both the router and the other devices, etc,etc,etc. so get all that info, come back post it up and i'll see if theres any room for improvement.
...in the deed - fasten was wrong^^ - faster!
Sry. my english isn´t that good.
AND - my known configurations - using cable @ 20mbit with an D-Link DIR-645 / 802.11n.
Connected with cable to my pc...wireless of course two mobile phones, and a laptop above
(mostly disconnected) - in the hole appartment we got full shown wifi receiving.
Dont manage any special settings for the router, using auto setup with WPA2...
The EEE Pad (only WiFI) is rootet and got the revolver rom on it.
Im not a specialist in configuing networks u see^^
I hope thats of course enough info?!
THX for help - regards, Oliver
Is it even possible..?
Mine is pretty fast though.
Decend for me.
The problem with the TF101 only uses the 2.4 Ghz band and not the faster 5 Ghz.You can setup the router to only have the 101 on the 2.4 band and everything else use the 5Ghz for devices that can use that.
Is it just me who is having Wi-Fi problems?
I use the wireless internet on my PC. It connects fine, good reception.
But my tf101 has trouble connecting... it sometimes connects, but then it loses connection randomly. Sometimes the wireless network isn't even under the listed available networks, it just disappears. But then, nek minit, it reappears, and attempts to reconnecting. It sometimes fails and sometimes manages to reconnect for either a brief moment or a long time(rare).
Anyone else ?

When I'm at work, college, and try to connect my laptop to the hotspot, the connection either does not happen or is disconnected/reconnects within seconds or half a second. I cannot maintain a constant connection, even when manually adding my laptop MAC address.
I have done some troubleshooting and found that the issue is not with my laptop and I only have this issue when I'm at campuses for my institution(2 campuses 40 miles apart). I have reflashed my ROM (to make sure something that might have changed was fixed) and still have this issue. I've also turned on the hotspot, ran a wifi analyzer on my laptop, and changed the broadcast channel as I saw my hotspot had the same channel as the college visitor & guest wifi, but this didn't help either. I am able to tether via USB to my computer, but would prefer to use the hotspot function as tethering uses up a USB port.
This is a very frustrating issue and any help/ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I use my phone as a dedicated modem for my pc. I used to have an S5 that did the job pretty decently, now with the S7, I can only tether for a few minutes before the internet connection is completely shut down on the pc's end, the phone keeps connecting to the internet without any issue. I then have to disable and enable the tethering back again to get it to work.
This only happens when using USB Tethering, WiFi hotspot works fine.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
