[Q] [SOLVED] Wifi tether will not connect windows 7 x64 with atheros

Any one else having issues connecting to atheros wifi on windows 7 x64?
wifi is set to allow ad-hoc
changed ssid
created password
tested on di18 stock dk28 stock viperrom nebula supernova
even stood on my head with left eye closed and a finger in my bum chanting "please work damn it"
using wifi tether for root users from market and barnacle
I got epic on day one and even the sprint app will not connect
I have no hair left to pull out
and google laughs at me when I search for this now
open to any ideas that dont involve spending money
TIA for any help!
*bangs head on wall*
EDIT: drivers are also up to date
EDIT2: Using ATHEROS AR5B91 I am also able to create ad-hoc on laptop connect phone to it and bridge connection to get better range from home wifi.
EDIT3: Sorry to keep editing but I have decided to use viperrom as my daily driver if that helps anyone help me.

Do you have intel wireless card? Try connect with a different device. My netbook connects but not my laptop.

have you tried the new Wifi Tether w/ Infustructure mode, v3.0 it works great I am running midnightv2.4 ext4 with no issues. I have a acer win7 x64 lap and it connects, also a IBM L412 connects just fine.

I think your win7 x64 box needs to have a wifi card that supports 802.11n wifi. I have an Intel 5300 card in my system (also win7 x64, current drivers fron Intel's site) and can only connect to my Epic's network when I enable the 802.11n Mode in the network card's properties. Only issue I have is slow, sometime disconnected, VPN sessions, but non-VPN traffic works great.

Check this article out I know it is talking about the nexus1, but you might want to try it out since it is dealing with intel wifi.

you are correct, I believe the android tether from the market will broadcast in "n" ad-hoc mode, the wifi w/ Infrastructure will broadcast in "g" mode.
I just wanted to make sure and connected and yes it was broadcasting in "g" mode.

Did you create key code and is that 13 characters vs 10 conventional.

Card has b/g/n support (router is broadcasting in n) I can use my laptop to extend the range of my wifi to phone. Create ad-hoc on lappy, connect with phone, bridge connection works fine like that but thats not wifi tether.

Yes using 13 char code changing ssid and pass was the first thing I did. I even turned off my home wifi and made the phone tether settings (ssid and pass) to same as home network. Laptop tried to connect with stored info but timed out, cleared stored info on lappy and reconnected manually still timed out.

In case it helps anyone help me I have decided to use viperrom as my daily driver as noted in OP EDIT3.
I have some friends coming by today (they both have huges net at home and I am on 50Mb/50Mb fios so I handle downloads over 25MB) for some rom-ification to their phones ( 1 moment, 2 evo's , 2 epic's , 1 intercept) I have tried 4 other epics already they have same issue. Evo's and moment/intercept have not yet been rooted so havnt been able to test them as of yet, seriously who the eff is gonna pay 40 a month for a feature built into your os, thats like microshaft trying to charge you to be able to use a mouse ( dont freak there are no new charges with windows just an example ).

Ok so I am able to tether to the moment (stock CWM and root only with moment tether) but not the others. WTF is all I can think on this one. Again TIA for any ideas. I am 2 days away from my annual reinstall of windows *crosses fingers* that may do it.

Reinstalling Windows fixed the issue thanks for the help everyone!

[Q] Confirm Ad-hoc support?

Can anyone confirm Ad-hoc support? I know Honeycomb supports ad-hoc connections right out of the box (well at least I know the TF tablet does) so I was hoping that ICS supports connecting to an ad-hoc wifi connection. I'm not talking about tethering a device to the GN, I'm talking about reverse tethering. At work it's a cell black hole. Doesn't matter what provider you have, the signal is crap. I have Cyanogen on my OG Droid and it allows me to connect to the ad-hoc wifi connection I've set up on my laptop to give the droid some form of data connection while I'm at work.
I still want the phone regardless of whether or not it supports ad-hoc as I'm sure in due time it'll be easy enough to implement with a custom rom. It would just be nice to know if it'll support it when ever Verizon gets around to releasing it.

i ve flashed my SGS i9000 with ICS port rom , and i ve notice that there are no ad-joc support, thats really a big pity , i ve tried to find an application in the market to allow me to connect via ad-hoc networks , but i found nothing ... i hope there will be solousion soon time

Yeah, from what it looks like in the bug tracker, I believe the only reason why the Asus TF has Ad-Hoc support is because Asus enabled it themselves, not Google. I wish Google would take their heads out of their you know where and make this simple change. It's not like they need to research how to fix it since all the research has already been done.

Can't answer your question, but if you're running Windows 7, have you tried Connectify to make your laptop a hotspot? It's free and I hear it works pretty well.
Also, maybe there is a ROM out there that support the Bluetooth PAN profile (Android 2.3 doesn't, maybe ICS already does?), so you can just connect the phone to your laptop using that link, no wifi needed, less battery usage since it's bluetooth, and I believe that's what the PAN profile is intended to be used for anyway.

not working here
i tried editing tiwlan but did not find that config file
haven't found any other tutorials concerning adhoc on Android 4.0
btw it is issue number 82 on Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project (not allowed to post outside links for me)

Updated my phone to Android 4.0.2 and still no ad-hoc...
Is there an application that can do it?

I wish we had Win 7 at work. Sadly we're still running XP so connectify is a no go. I've also heard it works pretty well but sadly I can't even test it out.
I haven't tried Bluetooth PAN yet with the GN but I believe the bluetooth stack on my laptop is also crippled. I tried doing the same with my tablet (which I know allows bluetooth PAN) and the laptop wouldn't setup a proper PAN. Seems like we're SOL regarding Ad-hoc until someone releases a hack for it or a ROM comes out.

Any progress?
I've got the same problem... Poor reception at work, and running XP.
(Although, I've also got a Linux machine, and tried sticking an USB wifi adapter in it, but the stock driver doesn't support Master Mode on it. Maybe I should just get myself a new USB wifi adapter that's properly supported by Linux? Any recommendations?)

I haven't heard of anything yet. It doesn't look like any of the ROMs have it yet either.
I'm kinda lucky though, I was recently transferred in my company and I'm now located in a building where I get a decent 4G signal all day. Also my new laptop is Win 7. I did play around with connectify a bit. It works but not extremely well for me. I wind up losing connection quite often. I did read though that it's possibly something to do with AV or Firewall, and knowing my company, that's probably it.

I have Winxp at work also on my laptop and connectify works with my Asus transformer. But for the galaxy nexus it doesn't recognize the adhoc network during wifi scan. Need a new supplicant file installed.

Bluetooth help

Im trying to run my internet through my relatively new laptop. It is a DV6-7000. I have a Galaxy Nexus running CM 4.2.2 M2. My intention is to run the internet through Bluetooth but i seem to be failing. My laptop has Intel Centrino Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 + high speed.
I have already paired the devices. I can see my phone through laptop and the laptop through my phone. and its "connected". From that though, it just doesn't work. My laptop only gives me 3 options when i click on it and they are send files, play mp3, and sync pim data with phone book. When i click on my laptop through my phone under profiles it only lists "Media Audio" with a check mark. Both these devices support what i want.... so im a bit lost at what is going on. In my laptop i go to lower right, and right click the bluetooth symbol and hit join Personal Area Network, it then pops up the bluetooth devices list again and that itself does nothing different but show me the 3 choices from before. S then i abandoned CM built in tether al together and download a PAN bluetooth app. It wont even connect.
At this point im thinking its my PC because plenty of people seem to be able to have a bluetooth internet connection... which makes my situation really odd. Any help would be appreciated.
btw all drivers are up to date.

PDAnet+, there's a fee associated with it but it's the only way I know how to tether via Bluetooth successfully, and I believe it doesn't require root access on your device. You'll need an application on your phone, and another application (or piece of software if you will) on your laptop. I know PDAnet+ supports USB tether and if you can, I would suggest using that. Bluetooth tether eats at your battery, not as bad as Wifi tether though.
Free Option: There is an app named Wireless Tether for root users but it requires root access, and I don't know if it has support for the laptop. I was currently checking for a post for more info on a tablet, so if I find out more I'll be sure to PM you with more information.

[Q] Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc

I cannot find a definitive answer: Does the 2013 N7 support connecting to Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc networks? I do not have a router, but I do have a wireless card in my PC which I am using to broadcast a Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc network. The N7 sees the network, but is unable to connect. I have tried disabling all security on the Ad-Hoc network (no password), but it still does not connect.
Has anyone figured out how to get this working?

also wondering if it supports it, I cant even see ad-hoc. Might be something that we can mod onto the stock rom

Not supported. There is an ancient bug report for that:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82
CM might include support:
http://www.thinktube.com/android-tech/46-android-wifi-ibss
Do you have a particular reason to use ad-hoc mode? The N7 can play access point just fine; your PC most likely as well.

There is this mod if you really need, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163363, I personally think Google should add native support, is really not that hard, especially for Google

Here it works.
My neighbour gave me access, he is 100 meters away. My laptop has a real teck card with outside antenna and I rebroadcast the signal to my nexus 7 with connectify.
It works....

My home internet went out a couple weeks back and I used ad-hoc on DJLamontagneIII's CM10.2 Flo Kangs rom. It was a build from a couple weeks ago, but I'm sure it's fine on the new one.
There were no tricks, ad-hoc just showed up under Wi-Fi connections and I connected.
Good luck.

I do wireless tether from my lg optimus g to my tablet just fine. If I recall WiFi tether creates it using ad hoc, not infrastructure (unless you have a rare phone that supports it). It works just fine.

The Nexus 7 doesn't connect to adhoc connection unless. It connects only to infrustructure networks and this is with some other android devices. Rooted devices have a way of going around this though.

did anyone have a solution for the nexus 7 (2013)?. I cant find anything helpful at all regarding this.
I really need to connect to an ad-hoc connection

You need to be on window 7.
I think it s not working on xp.

what you are suggesting is just normal infrastructure hotspot.
I need to connect to an ad-hoc wifi connection , specifically to a symbian phone as a hotspot using Joikuspot.
anyone?

this thread seem like showing the solution for other tab, but not for nexus 7 (2013). can someone make it work for our tablet

I just flashed CM-FLO 4.3.1 and it doesn't work. The tablet is able to see the Ad-Hoc network I created with my Nokia E-72 (yes, I know it's old but it's my work phone).
It sees the network. I click on it and connect (network is open; no wep). It then says that it saved the connection but if I click on it again for it to connect it doesn't.
I've tested this with 2 different iPhone's and they are able to connect successfully and browse while connected to my Ad-Hoc. I verified connectivity because the mb up and down counter shows data traffic. I thought CyanogenMod would have it enabled by default. I guess not.

[Q] Wifi Tethering Multiple Devices - Limited Connectivty

Does anyone else have problems with wifi tethering? It seems to happen for me with any rom, currently though using JellySlim_FullPower [HSD Project 4].
My problem is I start the wifi tethering from my Xperia S, then on my Windows 7 PC I can connect no problem at all and usually it works fine - The problem then is if I try and connect to the same hotspot with another device at the same (Xperia T / Nexus 7 2013). Within minutes of more than one device been connected to my Xperia S wifi hotspot all the connections drop, then on Windows 7 I get the Limited Connectivity and yellow exclamation mark.
To keep it simple, wifi tethering seems to work when only one device is connected to the hotspot, but it seems having multiple devices connected causes the connection to lose internet.
Has anyone else experienced this, have a solution maybe? I am wondering if there is a setting to allow x amount of connections at once or something
Thanks.

The only thing I can do is connect phone to PC and use USB tethering for internet on PC, then to share with another device also use hotspot.
Again though, any more devices using the same hotspot drops all the connections. I cannot find a resolution.

Have you tryed with kitkat how tethering works?

Two months later and so many many wasted hours, looks like solution found! Luckyly by my self
Go to your pc wlan device properties and change from internet protocol verion propeties ip to automatic.
I hope this helps help someone else.
Strangely two other phone tethers ok even ip wasn´t automatic. Not sure when that setting was change. Or was it.
