Desire as WiFi Router

Hi everyone:
I am new to android. Can anyone tell me if I can use/root my desire as a WiFi router so that I can use my 3G connection to beam out WiFi connection from my phone and browse net on my other devices. (Somewhat like that in HTC HD2, where can can convert the phone into WiFi router.)
This is very important for me as it will help me decide whether to buy desire or HD2. I am really reluctant in buying any windows mobile device and wanna get android.
Please help me on this.
Have a nice day!!
Wireless Tether for Root Users does this. You need root, we are very close to rooting.
There is also a wired option built in.
That'll be great. Yes I know that i'll have to root my device. I just wanted to confirm if this is possible after rooting. So it is. right?
The problem with wired rooting is that u'll always need to have your computer or laptop with you. But generally i want to share m connection with other mobiles when i don't have my laptop around. anyways thanks for the reply. Hope to see the root soon
cheers
Yeah "Wireless Tether for Root Users" is an awesome free app, you can set access control if you want (you must confirm someone is allowed to use the wifi) and you can configure a wep key. It's simple to use and does its job.
can anyone on 3UK check if wifi tether for root users works fine on 3uk network?
I know it works no problems on my TMobile.
Desire HD Wifi Router
This app is great, i try used in my mobile and talk about it.

[Q] Wi-Fi Direct?

Hi everybody, is there any possibility to use Samsung's technology called 'Wi-Fi Direct' on DHD? Or is there any alternatives for DHD (seems to me very useful feature because sharing Wi-Fi at home from laptop)
I am confused... What do you mean by WiFi direct? DHD has already a WiFi hotspot capabilities and usb tethering for internet sharing. All u need is to root your dhd or install a custom ROM and it will be enabled.
Hope that helps.

Well i think what the OP is talking about is ability to share files using Wifi between two devices like Samsung Galaxy S devices can. Its essentially similar to bluetooth but lot faster.

[Q] [Request] [Mod] wpa_supplicant ad-hoc

Hello guys,
i asked this questions before with no luck, i did my research this time, and brought an example from Galaxy s2 forums. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252619

Hmm strangely enough this is what i need too. I'm celebrating christmas at my mother in law's, and they only have one computer which have wired internet.
Yeah I've been hoping for this as well. I had CM on my OG Droid just to get ad-hoc working on it. Where I work is a cell black hole for all services and if I want my battery to last for more than a few hours I either have to disable data or connect to the ad-hoc connection I have set up.

Still nothing?

It can be solved If you have bluetooth on the computer you want to share the net with.

would love to have this too! ^^
many many thanks!
much needed! bump!
Any more info on this? I think its very strange that the phone doesn't support ad-hoc out of the box and I'd love to be able to connect to ad-hoc networks
Also I heard that it's going to be added in a feature ICS update?

Tether to Tablet

I hope this is in the correct section, to me it is a question.
I have the ET4G and am getting a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 16G from work. It is wifi only.
I am running unnamed rom on EG30
I know I should be able to use the hotspot hack to tether the tablet.
I don't have a great knowledge of bluetooth as I have never really used it.
Can I pair the phone to the tablet and tether that way also?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but again, I don't have a great knowledge of bluetooth and how it works or what it can do.
Thank you in advance for the help.
Not a dumb question at all. I believe the hotspot hack is wifi only. There is an app called "wireless tether" which I believe at one point had Bluetooth tether but is only wifi now. Bluetooth is a different kind of radio. Google it to find out the exact difference. Is there any particular reason you want to pair it with Bluetooth?

Using my Evo to tether when I had my tab was pretty easy using the Sprint hot spot. All you really need to do is start it and use the wifi setting on the tab to connect. Make sure you get the password from your device.
I never really had much success with Bluetooth tether to share the internet connection. Transferring files was pretty straightforward.
Wifi tether app (I can upload but you really should go by their site and read up on it) required adhoc support on the GT, as I couldn't get secured to run with the Evo. May be a bit different with the GS2.
Really, if you have the native hot spot running, use it. Will work with little effort and I found it reliable.
Thank you both for the help.
Wasn't really looking to use blue tooth to tether, just wondering if it was in some way better. I guess more wondering if it would just use the phone signal to connect to Sprint network where the tablet wouldn't.
I have the hoyspot hack up and running fine, that is what I use for my laptop all the time. Why pay the cable company $60 a month.
I guess I was just wondering if one was better.
Thank you both for the help.

[Q] Bluetooth Tether?

I have been trying to use my SGS2 for tethering - I prefer bluetooth tethering to wifi tethering. I've tried quite a few ROMS and I cannot find one that supports it. Can anyone suggest how to get bluetooth tethering working? If I posted this in the wrong place, I appologize ... I'm haven't posted much to the forums. Thanks in advance.
