I've put my wife's SG3 on a tether plan and it's working great. What I need to do is connect her phone to my home router (which is NOT connected to the internet) so we can access our wireless printers and the internet at the same time.
Phone is stock AT&T - no root.
Can anyone help?

Couldn't you just use your phone as a router? You can connect up to 5 devices I believe when tethering is active.

The phone can act as an access point but AFAIK it can't act as a router. I need ro access my wireless printers. Right now I can access the phone but I have to switch over to my home network to access the printers. This is a real pain.

There are apps for printing. I use cloud print. Works nicely

I really appreciate your trying to help but I've already considered these options; they won't work for my situation. I need someone who can answer my original question.

Wouldn't you be able to print via laptop if everything is linked up to the phone? As far as I see it, there's no way to hook it a router that uses a ethernet cord.

Anyone know of any way to get the E4GT to connect to an ad hoc network?

Just set up your adhoc and connect. I did it last night.
It wasn't visible in my connection list even though it was running

It is possible that you set it to hidden... What OS are you using?

I confirmed that the network isn't hidden -- I can see it from other computers but not from my phone. Any ideas?

This is the best I can do for you.

Also, check your security settings. Some devices will not see a wireless network with security settings it can't support.
Rarely, because it's an international thing, channel settings can also prevent discovery. Just something to think about. Not that it should be an issue but may want to double check.

Thanks -- I mean I can get the network going, just can't discover it on the phone. No dice even when I set it security to open. Is this just not destined to happen?

I honestly don't understand why it won't work... I have not had any issues with it.

Android has issues with ad hoc sometimes. Certain devices like the Kindle fire can only use infrastructure based wifi due to the chipset used and/or the drivers included. Infrastructure mode is a more robust and stable network vs ad hoc too. I get about an extra 20' in range on infrastructure vs ad hoc. On infrastructure I can cover my entire 3600 sqft house with 1 access point getting 2-3 bars at the farthest end of the house, with ad hoc the back side of my house gets very weak or no signal at all. If your router/hotspot is capable I'd recommend settinf it up in infrastructure mode with the same ssid and security key (if you use one) and go from there

Thanks but I'm looking at basically sharing my wired internet connection from my windows 7 laptop at work to my phone because reception is so shoddy. Tried connectify which didn't work, and I can get an ad hoc network running on my computer just can't see it with me phone

Is it a work pc? If so, they may have a blocker of sorts. I worked at EA Games and could never connect to any of the test laptops via ad hoc. Even using third party. But, I could come home and connect with no problem.

You said your phone's reception sucks at work. I'm sure someone will chime in if I'm wrong. Are you trying to get better data connection or phone connection? If phone, piggybacking off a router or PC won't help you to make calls if you can't now, unless you're using some form of voip on the phone. The SMS and phone voice run on the same line (I think). If you put the phone into airplane mode, but turned on wifi, you wouldn't receive calls or text. You'd only be able to do data. You have to be on a sprint tower to use the phone part.
Also, if you want your phone to get on adhoc and you can't now, you need a modified wpa_supplicant file for this phone. I don't know how to mod the file but a simple file swap and reboot would do it. At least that's how I did it with my original sprint galaxy 7" tab.

Reception is fine, it's just that data speeds at work are painfully slow. If I have a lot of apps to update on my phone, would be nice to just piggy back into the work network and do it that way.
My research has indicated that I'll need a modified wpa_supplicant, like you said, and I've tried some that are floating out there but they all seem to bork my wifi and I haven't been able to locate one specifically for the E4GT. Also, I have no idea how to mod it myself lol
I am currently running jedi 14 tmo version well I am being blocked from using mobile hotspot. Is there a guaranteed work around? Or app? I have unlimited data but I dont have tethering on my plan. If I switch to a non tmobile rom like jedi x14 would that help? Would I still have access to 4g and lte? Thanks to anyone and everyone that can assist.
Update: I installed treve mod and switched some settings, as well as I installed hotspot vpn sheild from the play store. I will post the link to the thread for what I used for settings and I just tethered to my tablet and it works. Also I just tried access control for when tethering to my ps3 helps alot, once enabled click on the ps3 connection.
Thread for settings http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044225
Make sure to install and run hotspot sheild vpn first before running the treve wifi tethering mod apk

I think the only possible way to go around an upsell page is the user agent method. For a tethering app, use treves mod tethering app

The only sure fire way is vpn / tunneling to prevent them from seeing where your data is being used. Look up sshtunnel app on the market and set up an ssh server at home. Costs absolutely nothing, and very effective. Tmobile can still see what you are doing when you change a user agent change. If on a windows pc tethering, you just need puttyssh and set up whatever browser to use a proxy. Ssh tunnels basically create a socks proxy to connect through, and offer rsa encryption of all data.

Unfortunately its not that easy as I dont think the PS3 has either ssh or vpn capabilities. It is possible using another computer to act as a proxied gateway ( With all of its ports redirected through the tunnel ) , but, its not easily explained.
Just googled and found this.
https://www.my-private-network.co.uk/knowledge-base/other-systems/ps3-proxy.html
Similar setup but with using your own server and software rather than theirs
You still need a server running somewhere remotely that you can pipe your connection through.

Great input Pyraxiate. I'm doing my homework today since I'm not a vpn expert by any stretch of the imagination. Just to clarify you mentioned settting up the "server at home" which seems backwards to me since it is the incoming internet service of T-mobile which I am trying to tether to. so wouldn't the server be my GN II celly and the client be My PC?
Help me understand if you have the time.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated in advance.
Hello everyone,
I recently bought a new Nexus 7 tablet. Unfortunately, my place of employment does not allow Android devices to be hooked up to the internal network, which is MAC restricted (its BS, I know). One of the IT guys was nice enough to add my Nexus phone to the network but he is not around anymore. So the only way I can get internet access on my tablet at work is to report the same MAC address that is on my phone or laptop. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!
I doubt it. The mac address is the physical address for the device. I'm sure it's not possible to alter.

Have you tried the Linux command to change mac address.. You will need root and busybox.. Though I have never tried it but it may work..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
You would have to tweak the kernel code to get this working.
Hmmm interesting. I assumed it would be easier to change. It is quite simple to do in Windows. Thanks anyway!

MacMan and Mac Address Ghost are not supporting 4.3 yet.
But there is one supporting 4.3.
Search and try app called Mac Spoofer on play store.
It works on my Nexus 7 2013.

I have some questions about your setup.
Are you using stock android or a custom ROM?
and which superuser app are you using? i.e. supersu, koush's
Never mind. I am running stock 4.3 and I can confirm that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jworksbr.macspoofer
Works on the 2013 nexus 7.

I don't know if they can block a MAC based on Android. I'm in IT and it is easier to block all and only allow approved devices such as PCs and Laptops.
Unless you copy the MAC of your PC or something but they'll detect 2 MACs from 2 different PCs.
Your best bet is to grab another WiFi dongle for your PC and download a WiFiRouter program to share. Or a 4G cellular card.
Just be careful.

Yes but I tried an address that is not blocked and it didn't work. I got it working though with a different app.

Could be that the device must be rebooted after the MAC is changed in order for all network components to recognize the change. Don't know it that has been tried.

No that wouldn't work at all. A reboot reverts all changes to stock.

But i was able to spoof the mac address before with the exact same model of device. Cant see what has changed.
Use ifconfig and macchanger commands, setup a script to run then when your company's bssid is in range, then reboot or use another script to change it back.
This is assuming those commands work. I'm not sure. That is just how I do it in backtrack on a pic.

I had a similar problem. I uninstalled my firewall and it left a bad driver installed on my computer. Found the leftover driver and deleted it and boom problem fixed.
