With my Galaxy Nexus (Verizon Wireless) I find that USB tethering is faster than WiFi hotspot. I have a need to share the connection with 3 different PCs. Is is possible to USB tether the Galaxy Nexus to a switch for sharing the internet connection? I know I can use the WiFi hotspot option but I am noticing significant speed decrease with WiFi hotspot and want to specifically use USB tethering instead and share with 3 PCs simultaneously.

This is the dev section, which isn't where this belongs.

What are you trying to do? If you want to access your internet connection on your laptop through your tablet and it doesn't support adhoc, you will either need to reverse tether via USB or buy a wireless router, to route your internet connection wirelessly instead.
i cant

I take it when you say globe tatoo you mean you have a mobile internet connection on your laptop? Most likely usb?
Everyone here is from different countries so we can't always make sense of network or company names.
Anyway, the ability to create an ad hoc network depends on your network card, there is no way to enable it if the driver our chipset doesn't support it.
Two options,
Either reverse tether using a usb cable. You need a special app and root to do this and you will have to always be plugged in.
Second option, buy a new network adaptor that supports ad hoc. You can also use an Ethernet bridge/router if your laptop has Ethernet.

I need to enable adhoc in my Galaxy Tab 3 7" to connecto to my OG Droid. What I understand is that we need a wpa_supplicant compiled with adhoc enabled... No idea wher to find it!!!
Alright hoping someone can help me out here. I had a note 3 and s5 before and used them to usb tether on my work laptop. Company shut down wifi all together so wifi tethering is out of the question. So the laptop will install the samsung drivers and it allows me to usb tether. I have also tried with a droid maxx and it would tether as well. Well I got the G3 (verizon) and it will not allow the modem driver to install on the laptop so that I can use tethering. So does anyone know a way I can fix this? Such as change the way the g3 usb tethers? Make it act like a samsung phone or motorola? Installing the drivers is out of the question because you have to have administrative rights to do that
anyone?
Hi, has anyone had any success with doing a reverse tether on this device? Both directions of tethering are disable by my AT&T plan, even though I'm wanting to share my computers connection to my phone for use with Vridge.
