i found this at howard forums for you:::
I was having the same problem but got mine to work. It seems that when I went in to my phone wifi settings and physically connected to WMWifiRouter - it worked! So, after you do successfully do this - turn on bluetooth pan, start WM Router, and connect.
Before I tried this, my laptop would see the network but not connect. I am getting speeds of 1.5 KBS, and the upload speed is great. It works perfectly with my company laptop and MAC. Also, be careful with battery. Keep your phone plugged in. I love this and will now cancel my Comcast.
find the thread here http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1349806
what version of wmwifirouter are you using? i followed your directions but i get stuck on "WLAN is ON! Waiting for ICS" and Internet Sharing is built in ookbas rom. Then the wifi disconnects
My old ibook doesnt have a wifi card, I CAN use this to connect to the internet right? Thanks for the quick response btw.
:::EDIT::::: okay so i did some searching and this is a common problem. only works with certain phones. the only advice i gleemed from it was to try a program called WalkingHotSpothttp://www.walkinghotspot.com/ but unfortunatly it is a one time 24.99 charge. sorry i can't help anymore. i'll search for answers and send you a message if i find anything different
these aren't my directions.. i just gave you a forum link that you might find some solutions. i personally don't have this problem but.... i'm sure with some good google searches you might find something. the guys on howardforums are pretty good with the hardware problems. i'm searching for another article for you also i'll post it as soon as i get it. it may have a solution for you too.
oh man thanks alot, i think it might have to do with the fact that i am using an old version of wmwifirouter. thanks for your help
Hi all!
Not sure as to why but I am having problems connecting to 3G and also having bluetooth signal issues.
Regarding the 3g, it is showing up in the menu bar but when I try to go into the Market, it gives me a connection problem and wants me to keep retrying. Even if it does connect, it disconnects fairly quickly and gives me the same retry popup.
Regarding bluetooth, I was having no issues until recently. it is really choppy ever since I updated to Fresh's rom 3.2 and also went to a new HBOOT in order to flash my splash screen. People on the other side are having a fair amount of problems understanding me.
Is it possible that these 2 issues are related somehow and if so, how? Is there a way to fix as may something have happened when I changed the rom or HBOOT?
Thanks in advance for any help!
So, I have posted 3 threads in the last 5 days and got only 2 replies to them. Are people just unwilling to help nowadays or am I doing something wrong or is it because I don't post a lot that this is happening? I think I have been descriptive and courteous in my posts and would appreciate some help.
I see posts both right before mine and right after getting help and yet no one helps me. How about sharing the knowledge and suggestions PLEASE???
This may help any interested...my Mobile Network setting is constantly showing as "Turning On" but never completely turns on. Why is that and how do I fix it?
My 4g does completely turn on but do not know if it works as do not get in my local area.
Thanks for the help.
I recently flashed vaelek latest rom and so far im loving it until one last feature. The wireless tether isn't working. This isn't only on this rom, its not working on others i flashed like avas10, but oddly enough it works on myns4. Is there any way to fix this?
The problem is that my computer picks up the connection but then it shows that dreadful yellow triangle and doesnt load a page. As of right now im using pdanet, and that works perfect but why not wireless tether?
I have heard people having similar problems lately, and i tried many things, like changing the channel freq to channel 1, as well as trying the latest wireless tether ( 2.0.5-pre 14) and still nothing. Anyone know how i can fix this problem? any help will be greatly appreciated.

From experience, flashing a different kernel usually addresses wireless tethering issues. I'd look for and flash a stock kernel for starters.
i havent tried this yet, i guess ill have to check that next
thanks for the reply
Hey guys I am having problems with the wifi hotspot on my Nexus with my Mac. It will connect fine but after about 5 min the internet will cut out but still remain connected. Have no problems with my iPhone 4 from work so it is something to do with the phone. Any ideas on how to fix it? Very frustrating.

Are you on 4.0.1? I heard that .1 has some kind of issues with tethering taht were solved in newer builds. Did you try to tether to some other computer?
Yeah I am on 4.0.1. Have not tried other computer. Have found turning location services off fixes the problem. Is it hard to flash to yakju build so I can get 4.0.2? Is there any way to do this to void my warranty?

IMHO this whole yakju-better-than-yakjusomething is over hyped. There were threads where yakjusomething builds got updates, and yakju didn't. I wouldn't bother my self to wipe phone and flash other builds If I were you, well I'm not going to do that since I have yakjuxw or something similar It's still a Nexus, you WILL get any update as soon as it will be possible! Earlier I had Nexus S i9023 with SLCD screen (I loved that screen BTW) and I was getting updates couple of weeks after Android sites started to write about them. It looks like Google disabled updates after battery complains from users. For some time now I haven't heard about anyone getting .3 or .2 update to any SGN. Just my thoughts, sorry for little OT
Thanks again for the reply. Yeah I might just leave it as it is until I get the update. Turning location services off doesn't seem to fix the problem it is still disconnecting. Will just use my iPhone 4 for now :-(
Have now also found that I can not connect the nexus through bluetooth either. The Mac won't even recognise it. Any way around this? Grrrr

Thanks mate . Bluetooth is working ok now. Have found an app called wifi hotspot which seems to be holding the connection.
im also having the exact same issue. i'm on att. running an AOSP custom 4.0.3 Rom. I tried using att's tether apn and it keeps reverting back to Cingular 410, however i dont believe this is the issue, i think its related to the OS itself. is it Mac related? i have no other computers to test it with :-/
Maybe this: https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/1Yy1jb9z4TA will help? In the post there is a zip for mac
Hey mate thanks for the link unfortunately it doesn't make a difference and for some reason the net won't work on wifi hotspot at all now. It connects but that is it :-(.
I didn't have time to really look into it, but I have some idea. Can you try how will it work when you disable security in settings? I mean make it an open network for, a second and try some browsing

that seemed to work on my nexus one and iphone 4 when i tethered. tried it with my gnex, same results, still showing connected, but no internet access after 5-15 min. i checked the status log of wifi tether for android, as it was doing the same thing with this app, and the it showed the wifi interface disconnecting by itself, i didn't do anything. Definitely OS related. Interestingly enough, this has happened both on the stock kernel and this franco 9.2 i'm running right now. Likewise with stock rom and this my current rom. so who knows.....very annoying though. :-/
Ok, with the network open on the Nexus the connection is fine on my Mac. As soon as I enable security though I have problems. Thanks heaps for the help so far but is there any solution available for this? Not real keen on leaving my connection open.
Sorry to bump. I'm having this issue as well. Verizon Galaxy Nexus on 4.0.2. My MacBook Pro connects to the hotspot fine and works for a bit, but then stops working. I can run network diagnostics to make it work again, but I have to keep doing that every 5-10 minutes or so and it makes it too annoying to use.
My iPad 2, iPhone 4, TouchPad, and mom's Windows laptop works just fine and never have these issues. It's only my MacBook. Anybody find a solution yet?
Exactly the same problem here.. Galaxy Nexus tethered wifi macbook pro running 10.7.2. Stays connected, but stopps passing any packets. Ipad, and other devices are still connected working properly, and the phone itself can use the LTE data connection. I've tried stock 4.0.2, as well as AOKP 4.0.3 latest build.. no luck. I've also tried both the native AP and android-wifi-tether too. Any help would be appreciated and rewarded.

PS - I even have the tethering option enabled on my Verizon account... (in case you were thinking it had something to do with big red blocking data)
I am still suffering this problem too. :-(. It is a real issue when I work outside the office a lot and do not have any problems with my work Iphone 4. I found pdanet works connected by USB but you can not access secure sites on the free version. Is there good alternative to pdanet?
hey guys. i now use an open network when i tether. it seems to keep a stable internet connection (packets transferring). the longest i've maintained a working tethering connection has been 2 hours....so it seemed good enough for me. Let me know how u guys fair if u do try an open network. still a weird issue imo that doesn't have too many solutions or even suggestions in the xda community (probably cause not many are tethering?). gl.
Hey, when I put my phone to an open connection mine is stable too. Must be something to do with the security. Wish there was a solution, I can't keep mine open the whole time :-(.
Anyone found a fix for this yet? Just about to return mine, tired of it not working. Have updated to 4.02 and my Mac to 10.7.3
Dear folks!
I have been experiencing a significant problem for a while already and looking for how to solve it, and I hope someone of you can give me some help. Any advice appreciated. I couldnt find any concrete solution for this.
Let me start to explain you.
My sister is actually the one using Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (not rooted, Android 4.4.2), and we both have the same problem. Mine is Samsung Galaxy S Relay (rooted, Android 4.4.4).
Our wifi download speed from speedtest.net results directly about 40 Mbits/sec and I can't even believe it!
But when it comes to for example Facebook, Youtube, Google Play, it takes a long time for loading, especially the pictures. Worse on youtube videos, in most of the cases, it can't even load anything, it stops and only after several refresh I can see something, and again very slow.
On mine computer, it is all fine though. Also on our mobile data everything is working perfect and fast.
On my galaxy, I have tried different Android versions, but nothing changed, wifi still slow. Whatever we do on our mobile, change the ROM, factory reset, nothing helps. And the strangest thing is, that when my friend tried our wifi on his Nokia mobile, it worked also fast and without an issue.
It may sound strange, but our problem has exactly started when there was an upgrade of the ISP in our city. After experiencing like that, I have called them and they recommended me a new router. The new router didn't change anything.
My ISP suggested me to try another channels on the router.. I have tried them all. Sill the same problem, and they can not help me any further so far.
If it is an andoid issue, what else can I try?
If it is a router issue, what can I try on its settings? I believe there is an interface/connection problem between samsung and my router or new ISP settings, maybe some change in the settings could fix it?
I would appreciate any help from you guys.
Thank you in advance!
// EDIT, SOLUTION
in case it happens same to you,
this is the solution in such a case, but need to be rooted: just disable the ipv6
I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.lennartschoch.disableipv6 for that
no such troubled lags anymore! it costed me lots of nervs and went to my bananas!
here you go and enjoy!
Please somebody any idea?
// edit: solved!
Just want to share with you my solution: after disabling IPv6, facebook, youtube and google play work fast now! (in case u have a bad ISP (?) like mine!)
for disabling it i luckily found https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.lennartschoch.disableipv6
