I installed CM6.1 yesterday and attempted to give the hotspot feature a try. I am able to connect to the hotspot via a mobile phone's wifi but when I try connecting to the network via my laptop it won't connect. I can see the network on both devices but only the phone connects and actually lets me browse the web. The laptop I am using is running Windows 7. Has anyone else run into this?
Yes and I have no idea why.

Great question for the app section... To my knowledge Barnacle works for some but can be 'finicky'. Otherwise, no.
Yea I couldn't get barnacle to work

here is the the one I'm using for TeamFenix 1.7.1 which is based off of one of the CM nightlies, and I haven't had any problems at all, just downloaded, installed using Astro File Manager and was up an running on my netbook. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre3-test3.apk
barnacle ususally works. just disable wpa_supplicant. go to barnacle's settings and check skip wpa_supplicant. ran it for a few hours on windows. works well.
Barnacle is the only one that people claims works. I haven't been able to get any Ad-hoc to work with Linux, but Windows works with Barnacle.
Not related to wireless, but there is built-in USB tethering which I prefer if I can get signal at my laptop. Just plug in the USB, go to Settings->Wireless & Networks->Tethering and check 'USB Tethering'. If it prompts for drivers tell Windows to manually use 'Remote NDIS Device for Internet Sharing' by 'Microsoft Incorporated'.
I'm trying to find a working wifi tether app for cm 6.0 as well. Ive tried Barnacle and it doesnt work even when I disable wpa supplicant. The computer sees it and connects but no webpages will load.
I also tried a few different wifi tether apk's from googles site and everyone makes my phone crash and reboot.
wireless app works for my ipad or any other device. I just can not get to tether to another android phone, it used to work no problem. The phone will not even recgonize the wireless network. Right now i have a samsung droid charge and tmobile g2x. I have also tried with a samsung vibrant. no combination works. But they will work with ipad and laptop. sometimes one phone might not have good service, so I would like to use wireless in them situations. Thanks
Can I connect to a wireless point on my phone and the tether the connection to pc?
As if im using a wireless card for my computer?
Thanks in advance

You want to connect to a WLAN with your desire and tether the connection to the pc? Why, or am I wrong?
You can connect to your normal mobile internet (desire) and use the wireless hot spot (depends on the rom, but I only saw roms that are able to do that)
That can be done. Maybe he wants to tether his 3G connection to his PC. Either way, WiFi or 3G, it can be done. Why would one want to do something like that (WiFi2PC) is whole another ball game...
I don't have a wireless card in my pc, so I wonderd if I could use my desire as an alternative?
Thanks in advance

Yes this works as I used to use my phone as a wireless card.
Turn off 3g, connect to WiFi and then connection your phone to your pc. Im on windows 7 and it automatically worked.
There's the option to use usb tethering (in CM -> Options - Wireless & networks - Tethering & portable hotspot - USB tethering)
maybe this will help you
I can confirm that you can connect your Desire to a WiFi network and then tether to a PC via USB.
It saved my ass when I updated my netbook's BIOS and it decided to blacklist my WLAN card. :O
I many a times use the wifi tethering to connect my Win7 laptop to connect to the internet. Running CM ROM.
Win7 connect to the AP right away, but shows 'Limited Connectivity'. Then it takes another minute or two before actually getting connected to the internet.
Connecting my Xoom to the same AP is instant. It seems like a Win7 issue.
Does anyone experience this issue?

I can't say that I've experienced this issue specifically, but I feel your pain. My guess would be an issue is with Windows 7. Try something different and see what happens. FoxFi is an easy to use WiFi tether. Worth a try if it fixes your issues.
Edit.

Thanks chrisgriner. Tried FoxFi - doesn't work on JB. Looking thru the reviews, a few others also complained of it not working with JB.

I have had this same issue with my xoom and windows 7 laptop. My laptop always takes much longer to connect and catch up when connecting. Its probably something with how windows operates. I just deal with it.

1. Make sure to set a WPA2 password.
2. Make sure the Network type is set as PRIVATE/Home in Windows.
3. If all else fails, go to Control Panel > Network > Network Adapters and disable your wireless card/adapter and re-enable it.

Thanks smokeey, those are my settings. Sometimes, when windows fails to get Internet connectivity, clicking on troubleshooter (which sometimes disables and re enables the wireless adapter) gets it going.
Update your wireless card drivers on your laptop.
Hello.
At work we have wifi network that has no interent, I use that network to transfer files from phone to computer, however whenever I connect to that network my phone looses interent connection too, because wifi become the only active network.
Is there a way allow 3g/4g network while connected to wifi?
Thank you.
P.S.
Using rooted stock rom.
Nope. One or the other
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Sorry, but I can't believe that.
On Windows, for example, you can specify order, priority, of the adapters at which system will use to connect to the interent. It has to be something similar in Linux/Android...
I was wondering if there was anyway I could use the S3s wifi connection for a laptop. Not tethering using 3g
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Do you mean like this:
Wifi Hotspot > S3 > Laptop
?
If you do, you could use CWM tether (its usb tethering) or Wifi tether for root users (works if your phone is connected to Wifi but some people have had issues with that, I have not)
Kinda like ad-hoc but having it emit from the phone
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Let me see....
You have someone Wi-Fi key stored in your phone, and want to share it to your laptop?
Try with Bluetooth, or in Play "Wi-Fi key recovery"
Also you can clone your phone mac address.

Tethering is using 3G. There's no other way to share data. Are you rooted?
Yeah...what he said...because if its wifi to phone to laptop then you might as well connect to the wifi directly right? Idk, I still dont really understand what you're trying to do
One of my laptops doesn't have a 5Ghz network card and since my phone can connect to that band, I was wondering if there was an ad-hoc like thing for android.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I'm still not understanding what you want to do. Why don't you just connect to the network from your laptop and leave the phone out of the process?
This phone can not emit WiFi and use WiFi at the same time. Does that answer your question?
Alright it answers my question
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Ahh ok, I've done that before on an OG evo AND evo shift, so it is possible...now whether it would work on this phone, I' don't know, some people have had issues but look around and try all the apps you can find to see if they will do the trick
I used wifi tether for root users v2.2/v2.1 (can't remember which one it was) and it worked flawlessly, just a lot of battery drain but thats to be expected
You can use your WiFi and tether at the same time?
I can USB Tether WiFi (like a network adapter), but I've never been able to tether my WiFi connection.
I'm currently having issue with my Wifi Tethering with the TrevEMod. it keeps saying "What the hell...." i've searched thru the forums and tried all the fixes and it still disconnects. Any word on this?
