Hi everyone,
i'm trying to find a way to use my device as a wifi (wlan) card in any way. i have a very old notebook and yes, i already have a extra wifi card. but i think, my pda would do a better job and it would be one extra device less to 'carry'.
is there any way to use 'internet sharing' with wifi (- not with gprs!)? don't get me wrong on this. i've searched the forums and there are many answers to this question describing how to use the device as a wifi router or to connect via wifi... this is not what i'm asking for! i have a wifi router at home, i've connected my device successfully via wifi, and now i want to share this connection via usb.
any suggestions?
I clearly remember there being a way of doing it with GPS for your PC, so I dont see why it shouldnt be possible.
Any Updates?
Any Updates on this ?
This would be a gr8 help if possible.
Any suggestions mods ?
Thanks in advance.

Can some one tell me how to share my 3G connection over wifi? I need to make the phone as a portable access point.
no can do.
Bluetooth or USB
Try hitchhiker it's free! but I'm not sure if it works for sharing using 3G... try it and let me know http://www.kasuei.com/hitchhiker/
No, It doesn't support to share the 3G connection.
So use Internet sharing over BT ?
Would like to use it as a wireless access point, so I can get access from computer and iPhone, seem like I have hard time to find a solution.
share the connection with the PC by USB. Put a wifi stick/pcicard in the PC and bridge the connections, then the iFoon can have 3G too

you got this to work?
or are you saying it should work?
i have tried to share a connection this way but have had no luck when using internet connection sharing/pan.
i did get it to work this way back in the day when the phone ran wm5 and had dun.
do you have any pointers on how to get internet connection sharing in wm6 to let more than one device connect to the 3g connection?

seems like you may need an app on your pc to manage/route the connections not sure if this helps but you can try "network Magic" it give you a bit more options on the pc side for managing connections. would like to see where this goes for possible future applications. i'll give it a try when i have some free time and check with an comp tek friend of mine see what he thinks.
Yeah it sucks that no one has created a way to share the wifi connection just like we share bluetooth or usb.
We also need a proxy server that we can run on our phone.
ok, for me the boring part is the time of the connection, you can share via wifi by just turning on your internet sharing in whatever the pc connection, you just need to manually deffine your hermes wifi to 192.168.0.1 and it shares via internet sharing! The question here is that the connections stops after 10 minutes becouse of the warnig "check usb cable connection". Its very irritating to have to start connection every 10 min. !!!!!
awww...iPhones not fast enough Data-Wise for ya?
thought it was supposed to "revolutionize PDA Phones"
hah.
sorry, i had to add my 2¢ against Apple.
Beware, some mobile provider allready use NAT, thus you'll recieve a non-routable IP. I am not sure that you will be able to share a connection of this kind.
This application lets you use your phone as WIFI router without setting up anything in device. Let me if you guys like it.
This application has its own thread here on XDA-Developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357152. Don't really see the point of you posting the CAB here.. without all the information needed.
Well this message, in the wrong place, introduced me to your excellent application!
thank you
How do you turn off this wifirouter?? i got it working and works fine although i cant get my archos gen 5 to pick it up but i tuned it off but my computer still picks it up although it cnt connect to it
the app is connected but i am not connected to the internet on my laptop...any answers? i tried resetting a bunch of times
is it the trial version or the real thing? is there a free way of doing it.. does it work for windows 5
infrastructure mode?
is there a way to broadcast in infrastructure mode, instead of ad hoc? i would love to use a zune hd with this, but it is not able to see ad hoc networks. thanks.

the SSID is not showing up in my computer. All others (mine and my neighbors wireless connections) are showing up.
How to get my playstation 3 2 work with this router
Hi i am so damn frusterated right now with this. How do i get my ps3 to work with this router thing. My computer connects to it and recieves wifi. But when i try to find it with my ps3 it wont detect it. Does any one know how do i get this 2 work.
try this
1. connect ur trinity to ur laptop / pc via USB and run "internet sharing" on your trinity.
2. Set up an Ad-Hoc connection on your PC / Laptop and directly connect ur PS3 to it.
3. In network settings on your PC / Laptop click the ad-hoc connection icon and the windows mobile based device icon (Ctrl-Left click each one) right click one of them when their both selected and click on bridge connection from the drop down menu.
this method's a bit of a potch to set up but once its running it works perfectly and you only have to set it up once. it also lets you use the internet on your pc and ps3 at the same time.
I'm pretty late to this and NEW (newbie), but I wanted to make a quick post about it's use on my Imagio winmo 6.5 OS 5.2.21... no mods, no roms burned and this works perfectly. Now I can surf at work without the assistance of our helpful IT friends LOL.

Your laptop or pc picks up adhoc signals aswell as infrastructure, to be quiet honest, this app is very useless when advertised as a router, doesn't route anything if just limited to adhoc, adhoc = computer to computer connections, not a router to me at all! Its a very nice app for many other things though.. I see someone giving you instructions for 'ICS' doing all that just makes it all pointless and you may aswell just get a home router connected to house line!
This is one of my favourite apps. I've been using it for a long time now and just awesome.

Really love this app. Only problem is that it worked great the first time I launched it. Now it can't connect. It just keeps on cycling trying to connect to att gprs and finally says "the remote party has ended this connection". Any ideas?

It sounds like possibly your connection settings have been erased. Can you get internet in Explorer, etc? If so, please disregard this...
how do i load it in my phone
thanks for the share , can you explain how the procedure works , I want to create applications like these but still don't understand their concept

Hello everyone can anyone tell me of some program which can turn my hermes into a wirless access point , i know there is a program called "WMWifiRouter" but it can only use gprs for internet access and here in our country gprs is still much expensive . I would like to have a program which can use the usb connection from my pc as a internet source .why do i need it?....... because i want to connect my few other devices such as nintendo ds to internet through it .plz plz plz can anyone help. Thanks in advance and one more thing thanks to all the great cheifs here who do wonderfull job for us specially the legendary Schaps, faria and Shamanix.anyways thanks again.
hi,
use WiFi Router.
wfg
starbase64
Thanks alot "starbase64" for replying but i already mention that wifi router is not suitable for me because it only uses gprs for internet connection and i cant afford gprs its way too expensive in our country what i am searching is a program which works like "wifi router " but uses usb connection from the pc(connected to the internet through regular lan card) as internet source not gprs .sorry for my bad english if i am not making my point clears ,thanks anyways.anyone plz help.
erhm, considering the hassle you'd be going through (even if WiFiRouter worked with USB), why dont you just dish out the 10$ USD for a cheap wireless network card for your PC?
Then simply run Ad-Hoc WiFi internet sharing from your PC.
If you're thinking of having MULTIPLE devices connect to the phone like a router, well, that's simply not going to happen. The WiFiRouter software might call itself a "router", but the WiFi adapter in the phone isn't able to handle more than one wifi connection.
If you want PORTABILITY (plug in WiFi an internet cafe PC or public PC or school PC), buy a USB WiFi dongle adapter (maybe 20$ USD)
Sure, it would mean seting up internet sharing every time on a new PC, but then again you wouldnt be assured all public PC got Activesync installed to allow internet sharing via USB from your phone anyway.
OR
have you tried UNCHECKING "Allow Wireless Connection On Device When Connected To The Desktop" in Activesync connection settings (on the PC ) and then using WMWiFiRouter?
Thanks everyone for replying but still i think i am not making my self clear ,I will check about the active sync option .Anyways thanks alot and if some one found such a software plz do inform me here or by my e-mail [email protected]
There is also this new program, ICS, in the Development & Hacking forum. I haven't tested it, but you might want to check it out.

Thank u dgaud007 i will check this out.
I am looking for help to resolve basically the only issue I have not been able to figure out through these great forums or otherwise.
It seems that getting the tablet to work with an AdHoc network is not yet possible. I have seen comments stating that it may be possible through CyanogenMod. Can anybody confirm this? Or has another way been discovered to allow us to connect to AdHoc wifi networks?
Otherwise, does anybody know how to get ALL apps to recognize the Bluetooth internet connection? I have a Verizon phone running FoxFi and I am thethering via PdaNet Tablet when using Bluetooth; using FoxFi and stock wifi connection for wifi. Some apps will recognize the internet connection while others will not. Is there some way to point all apps to the Bluetooth internet connection?
Thank you in advance for your input.

you need to recompile the kernel to add ibss to the wifi driver and recompile wpa_supplicant to recognize ad-hoc.
If you don't want to do this, most versions of aokp/cm will have it working.
if you are using foxfi, you shouldn't need to worry about ad-hoc

I may be falsely assuming that it is an ad-hoc issue just due to what I have read from others commenting on the issue (re: your comment about FoxFi).
I am going to start by trying one of the more recent CM nightly releases (cm-10.2-20131105-NIGHTLY-flo) and do a little research to see what is involved in recompiling the kernel to add ibss to the wifi driver and recompile wpa_supplicant to recognize ad-hoc and respond back.
Thank you for the input!

Does Pdanet create a connection as a VPN or actual bluetooth tethering? If it's the former, there's the reason. I'm under the impression that apps will be able to properly understand a bluetooth internet connection (via bluetooth PAN I believe)

When I tested FoxFi it acted as a regular Access Point so normal wifi was all that was needed to connect.
Usually it is the WiFi Tether for Root app that sets of the phone as an ad-hoc connection, forcing the tablets connecting to it to also have ad-hoc support.

I truly don't know the answer to this. Can you provide some instructions on testing this theory? I have tried the app Bluetooth Auto Connect and set the connection up with the phone as a PAN connection. I can pair the phone and my n7 together, but the stock Bluetooth manager never shows the two as 'Connected' versus other Bluetooth devices. Any suggestions?

Then I think it must be a limitation with the LG VS660 phone that I'm using.
The good news is that the installation of CyanogenMod worked! What would have been intermittent connectivity every 5 minutes or so has now been turned into a solid wifi connection. Apps that would have rarely worked on the wifi connection are now working with no problems.
However, I am still very interested in figuring out the Bluetooth connectivity option. For those who may not want / like to go the CM route, it would be nice to have a simpler solution. Plus, my wife has a stock 2012 n7 and I would like to be able to get hers connected without rooting it. Any input on how to accomplish this would be great!
Hi. Searching "tethering" "v500" site: forum.xda-developers.com reports thousands of results. Sorry if this question are already solved.
There are a mod, stok, AOSP, etc, for sharing internet connection between tablet-wifi and PC-USB?. That is, tablet act as a router
PDAnet dont work under linux. I need connect a linux-PC without wifi.
The tablet is already rooted.
Thanks in advance.
