I've been using WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.3-beta2 by Müller, to use my mobile data plan to provide a hotspot for my other devices. It's been working almost flawlessly. My question is, does WiFi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso, provide more or less the same functionality? Anyone tried both of them to give firsthand impressions? Highly appreciate the input. :good:
Bumpy.

Hello all,
I was wondering, wether the Froyo wifi tethering makes an infrastructure wifi hotspot, or an adhoc one? Also, is there any method of making an infrastructure type wifi hotspot on a rooted Desire?
Thanks
If the android-wifi-tether is anything to go by: code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Then it's probably going to be an ad-hoc network, rather than infrastructure. I'd much prefer infrastructure personally though! It's so much more compatible with multiple devices than an ad-hoc network.
@bbolgar, Froyo makes infrastructure hotspot. I got froyo installed on my HTC Desire the hotspot thing works like a charm.
I even got my BB To connect to Internet using the HTC Desire Wifi.
Let me know if you got any questions. WIll be happy to test them for you.
How does the wireless tethering in CM7 work? I'm guessing it's the same as the free workarounds, rather than using the verizon paid tethering method. can anyone confirm this?
Same question here. I have tried that and the wireless tether app and neither work for me.

i got wireless tether work by going in and setting it manually to adhoc mode or use barnacle tether
barnacle definitely works, i just want to know if the built in one will result in tethering charges.
No, the built in tethering doesn't incur any charges.
I can get the wired usb tether to work fine but it seems to be slower. Using FoxFi but it seems to mess with my phone. I have NEVER gotten wifi tether to work, irregardless of my phone version or rom, so I was wondering what people have installed on both phone and comp that allows it to work. My wireless card enables ad-hoc so that doesn't seem to be the problem. I just want a simple wifi tether, not a hotspot because i don't want others to use it, that's what FoxFi is for when I have guests. I just want to get wifi tether to work to see if it works how I'm hoping it does. Any help is appreciated
Does your computer support Bluetooth? BLuetooth tethering sounds like it more like what you are looking for. I've honestly never heard of a "WiFi" tether outside of the hotspot usage.
I just bought the Note2 for Tmobile with unlimited data but I did not pay for the plan with tethering through the t-mobile hotspot because those plans limit the amount of high-speed data you get. The majority of my data is used directly from my phone but on rare occasions I would like the option to tether my laptop. Does anyone know of an app (or workaround) that works on the N2 that will allow you to WiFi tether?

This worked for me, except I had to use tethering widget-https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achmyr.android.froyo& instead of wifi for root users
Wondering what application ya use to WiFi tether. I use the fooling app but am only able to use ad hoc which doesn't connect to most devices I use.
WiFi Tether
