I had to use the connection troubleshooter in Win 7 to get the hotspot connection working on 3 different laptops.

When I use the troubleshooter it says couldn't identify the problem.

I know tethering you can either pay for or root your phone, but I just bought a laptop and broke the external wireless card, are there any 3rd party apps available so that I can connect my evo to my pc via usb and use my evos wifi too connect my laptop to the internet through my wireless router at home? Any feedback Is appreciated.

I just use the built in usb tethering. It supports connecting to wifi. My school's network is acting up and my laptop wouldn't register properly. Using my Froyo Evo, I just turned on USB tethering while connected to wifi and got great wireless speeds. Best option in my opinion.
Didn't work without pdanet.....pc would recognize phone but not its ability to use it for its wifi connection. Elaborate?

Yeah, I am as well....am not getting any Internet access even though it allows me to join the network. I have Win 7 x64 and have tried with 2 diff computers and 3 diff versions of the wireless tether...7, 8 and 9. It was working at first and then all of a sudden it just stopped allowing me to surf the Net. I started my own thread on this but not much help from all of the knowledgable people on here nor with replies.

Wireless tether and printer

I connect all of my computers at home using my incredible and wireless tether for root. Will i be able to connect a wireless printer to my incredible and be able to have my other computers print to it?

I'm not sure how the phone routes exactly... I'm going to guess and say if you can hop on one computer and see another (ping, file share, etc) then it might work. But I can't tell you for sure.

Tethering question

Hey everyone, just wondering is there is a way to tether via USB using wifi as the source of internet?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Yes there is. It's built into the system settings (At least for ICS).

It's called internet pass through I think.

clarification
Do you mean for the PC to tether though the andriod? if that is the case you may need to use something like EasyTether.
Yea, I want to hook a PC up that doesn't have wireless capabilities so I can use wifi on it. I'm running AOKP, I haven't tried to hook it up yet to see if it comes with this rom.

OK just an update, hooked my phone up to my PC and hit USB tether at the settings UI is force closing
EDIT: Using Easy Tether, I have internet but its intermittent and a little slow, but its a start.

There is an app on the Play Store called "Open Garden." It enables Wi-fi tethering on 3G or Wi-Fi for Free.
Before I had Ice Cream Sandwich and was rooted, I always used PDANet, it works great on both Mac and PC! If it isn't in the Play Store anymore, i'm sure you could find the .apk somewhere online. Best of luck!

[Q] connect wifi tether in infrastructure mode vs ad-hoc. Can it be done (yet)?

After taking a trip to the darkside for a year or so (IFail), I decided to rejoin the force by purchasing the Optimus G, mainly for wifi-tethering and more control over my actual phone. I can connect my phone just fine to my Mac (the Optimus appears under devices in airport), but cannot get my Kindle, nor my X-Box to connect to the wifi. Is this an ad-hoc vs. infrastructure connection issue?
Can anybody help with this issue?

Not sure I can help with your ways, but Wireless Tether, from the Playstore, works good for me. You have to have root. Settings are; ics/jb generic, wlan0.

Most wireless tether apps use ad-hoc, which only works for PCs and PSPs it seems like. The built in version you pay for works on some phones like my old evo, but we hack to unlock that first to not pay. I will check it out when I get the chance and see if I can do the same thing.
