its a great way to share internet from your computer...
my computer is at the other end of my house and it gets great wifi reception though my tiny phone does not. To fix this, i put another wifi adapter in my computer and created an ad-hoc network. Now i just use my phone to connect to that network and now have great wifi reception on my phone

looks like a great way to set up adhoc...though i think i might just stick with my current setup (through windows, lol )

How far are we from seeing wireless tetherable kernels? Is there a reason we don't see them already? Anything I can do to help? Hope there is a solution soon!
I have no first hand experience (yet) but I thought that Android Wireless Tether worked, you just needed to tell it you were using a Nexus One or some malarkey like that.
You have to set it to ad hoc mode as well...my xoom can't detect it when I do that

i have wireless tether working just fine on stock kernel
wireless tether works fine untill you actually use it...te device thats using the connections gets rdirected to a verizon page prompting you to buy the tethering service. I head this was at the kernel level which would make sense, because my DX, OG Droid, and thunderbolt all tether no problems witout the redirct.

No, it does work, as long as you are rooted, set the device to nexus one, and use ad-hoc mode. Any other configuration redirects to verizon.

There was an article about verizon Wanting to charge for using their wireless tethering service... So you either pay or you download an app to do it... It requires a root phone though. I'm with rogers and tethering works well.

Yufice I made a post on general on how to work around it. I meant it when I said it works fine for me. I guess I was the only one that knew of a workaround untill I asked zero to post in development for me and test it out to make sure it wasnt a fluke that I got it working.

This set-up doesnt work on my R800x. To get it to work I have to set the devise to a CDMA device. If I set it to a GSM devise I cant connect to it. So if anyone else is having an issue getting it to work on the r800x try setting it to a CDMA devise.
I have mine set to nexus one and it works I tether daily

I set the latest version 3.0 beta 5 or whatever to device profile droid X(CDMA) and it works just fine. The only caveat is that limits you to WEP encryption so be sure to use mac filtering.
Cheers!

I think its ad hoc only because it doesn't show up on the wifi list when I do it on my xoom.

It should support infrastructure, but it works fine with my transformer so I don't know.

^this, PLEASE
I'm on a verizon r800x rooted and I desperately want to use wi fi tethering....for free!
I've tried every combo with the app "Wifi tether" (the main popular one) with regular phone models and "CDMA" models (supposed to be the ones that work) to no avail!
It always clocks in like .4 kbs of data then stops...and then verizon pop up comes up if i try to access internet through the phone....and computer can't even connect to the hotspot
any tips/advice?

I've been searching around for a while now trying to figure out how to tether a wifi connection thru wifi hotspot without mobile connection. cm7 won't let me. everything i see is for tethering a mobile connection.
Stock ROM defaults to the wifi I've done it and even made a thread about it

CM7.1 (and I believe CM7) has a Portable WiFi Hotspot feature, it's in the tethering section of the wireless/network settings

Yes. I'm aware of the tethering settings in cm7.1, thank you. You didn't properly read my post. I want to tether a Wifi data Conncection over wifi WITHOUT HAVING A MOBILE CONNECTION. As in no 5g,4g,3g, or even 2g data.

Ah, okay, I misunderstood.
So you're basically trying to use your device as an external wireless adapter for a computer that doesn't have wireless built in?

to be honest...i'm having a problem with my landlord having a problem with my service provider. i'm using my neighbors wifi. but it only really comes into one room well. i'm hoping to use my device to extend the signal to the other rooms. it has no data plan. but CM7 turns wifi off when you tether over wifi. i think I've gotten this to work on my g1 using pdanet but its really unstable, and i think its the app.
I've tried installing two different wireless tethers and neither one wants to work. I'm rooted with stock rom. Any ideas/suggestions?

You sure its not working?? Its a adhoc connection and most tablets wont pick that up. My desktop sometimes wont either but to fix that i have to switch my wifi on the desktop off and on then it sees the connection

which rom are you using? i had that problem before when i was trying wifi tether hack apps but i download a rom that actually had the hotspot hack which allow to use the sprint hotspot and that worked like a charm.
i also suggest you to try using ( Hotspot hack ) posting on the development section.
i hope that helped
Thanks guys. I'm using stock rom. When I had my evo, it worked like a charm.

I am having the same kind of problem; wifi tether does not work. I was on rooted stock rom, then Calkulin 1.5a. On the client side, I tried Ubuntu 11.10, Window XP, both detected the ad-hoc device, but just could not establish connection. I am using the hotspot hack, which work without issue.
I'm on add ROM with sprint hot spot and it works perfectly.

Exact same problem for me to. It work on my EVO and now I have a ET4G rooted. The wifi tether stable and beta do not work.
Any ideas?
Thre developer is aware and hopefully going to fix this for our phone.

" Infrastructure mode, unlike ad-hoc mode, allows multiple devices and devices that don't support ad-hoc mode to connect to the Wi-Fi access point spawned by the app, so it's definitely something we want. I've also asked about getting infrastructure mode on the*Epic Touch 4G, which uses a newer Broadcom chipset, to which Harald replied "we will see." Fingers crossed here."

I use wireless tether from the market and works great. I know on a past phone I had to create a folder on my SD card called android.tether with a bin file in it. I don't know if that is why mine works or not.

i searched the forum and some1 here said that when he reset his apn it worked for him ,so i tried it and after i open a wifi hotspot it doesnt say no internet access, but still it doesnt work haha..
but when i look at the status ipv4 says internet whereas ipv6 says no internet access..
edit: one more thing,.. is it possible that its my provider (orange) problem?
Is there actually a Wi-Fi tether app that works for our phone? I've tried Wi-Fi tether from the market, and other devices will connect to my SSID and "tether", but it will basically be a worthless connection because I won't be able to surf at all from the tethered connection.
I'm trying to connect my Nexus 10 tablet since I get great LTE signal here in Dallas where I live, but I can't make full use of it since no tether app works properly with our phone...any help is appreciated!!

Lol, dude...I have been on XDA for more than ten seconds. I know how to search. I've found and already looked through that thread. There is no real answer there other than what I already mentioned about changing a lot of settings for a possible solution...which still didn't work when I tried.
I'm not looking for some smart assed answer about searching because I already have...extensively. I'm looking for someone who might have found an app which actually WORKS.

WiFi tether actually works. But it kills wifi. Use one or the other per reboot. Just like the link says. Generic ICS/Jb wlan 0

Settle down tiger. Try a reboot. See if it works. Its been working for a few of us since zvb dropped. You might have to use Trevor's WiFi tether. And i did read your post. That's why I'm answering.

Here's the settings I used to make Wifi tether from the Playstore to work. Remeber either WIFI or the Wifi tether per reboot.
1.Change device profile to - Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
2.Setup method - Auto
3.Enable wifi-encryption
4. I changed SSID and my Passphrase
That's it. It's worked for stock JB and Imperium. Haven't tried it on Lifeless yet.
mine is on the Generic ICS/JB on wifi tether my SSID will show up but wont connect at all.

Is whatever you're trying to tether set to auto? Also, Wi-Fi cannot turn on at all after a reboot if you're on zvb. Try it on other things also to see if its the app, or whatever you're trying to tether.
Edit. Try going to settings, enable access control.

When I had this problem (at&t model but probably the same issue), I had to select a different lan in the wifi tether settings. Either the arp cache on the tethered device still had old entries (since the default network is the same as my wireless network that my device had just been connected to), or it's just that wifi tether applies the wrong netmask. Right now I'm using the setting "10.10.3.0/24" which works, but in reality it's assigning a 255.0.0.0 (/8) netmask to the interface!
