I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and I cannot seem to ever hook up to any of my devices like my smart thermostat or borescope with WiFi. People keep telling me to connect to my device and I tried to connect to it and it says that it's got a signal strength whichever one I'm connecting to but it says the internet may not be available I am so confused as a how this is even happening like people make it sound so simple but it makes no sense why I cannot connect to these devices what am I missing this is so frustrating thanks in advance for any suggestions
Perhaps you should try connecting through the devices app? I have multiple smart home items in my house and I have to use either their branded app or go through my smart hub to connect. I don't connect to any of them directly with my phone.
I'll try doing it thru the application, my end scope has an app just not sure if it will automatically detect it tho. illsee

This application lets you use your phone as WIFI router without setting up anything in device. Let me if you guys like it.
This application has its own thread here on XDA-Developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357152. Don't really see the point of you posting the CAB here.. without all the information needed.
Well this message, in the wrong place, introduced me to your excellent application!
thank you
How do you turn off this wifirouter?? i got it working and works fine although i cant get my archos gen 5 to pick it up but i tuned it off but my computer still picks it up although it cnt connect to it
the app is connected but i am not connected to the internet on my laptop...any answers? i tried resetting a bunch of times
is it the trial version or the real thing? is there a free way of doing it.. does it work for windows 5
infrastructure mode?
is there a way to broadcast in infrastructure mode, instead of ad hoc? i would love to use a zune hd with this, but it is not able to see ad hoc networks. thanks.

How to get my playstation 3 2 work with this router
Hi i am so damn frusterated right now with this. How do i get my ps3 to work with this router thing. My computer connects to it and recieves wifi. But when i try to find it with my ps3 it wont detect it. Does any one know how do i get this 2 work.
try this
1. connect ur trinity to ur laptop / pc via USB and run "internet sharing" on your trinity.
2. Set up an Ad-Hoc connection on your PC / Laptop and directly connect ur PS3 to it.
3. In network settings on your PC / Laptop click the ad-hoc connection icon and the windows mobile based device icon (Ctrl-Left click each one) right click one of them when their both selected and click on bridge connection from the drop down menu.
this method's a bit of a potch to set up but once its running it works perfectly and you only have to set it up once. it also lets you use the internet on your pc and ps3 at the same time.
I'm pretty late to this and NEW (newbie), but I wanted to make a quick post about it's use on my Imagio winmo 6.5 OS 5.2.21... no mods, no roms burned and this works perfectly. Now I can surf at work without the assistance of our helpful IT friends LOL.

Your laptop or pc picks up adhoc signals aswell as infrastructure, to be quiet honest, this app is very useless when advertised as a router, doesn't route anything if just limited to adhoc, adhoc = computer to computer connections, not a router to me at all! Its a very nice app for many other things though.. I see someone giving you instructions for 'ICS' doing all that just makes it all pointless and you may aswell just get a home router connected to house line!
This is one of my favourite apps. I've been using it for a long time now and just awesome.

Really love this app. Only problem is that it worked great the first time I launched it. Now it can't connect. It just keeps on cycling trying to connect to att gprs and finally says "the remote party has ended this connection". Any ideas?

It sounds like possibly your connection settings have been erased. Can you get internet in Explorer, etc? If so, please disregard this...
how do i load it in my phone
thanks for the share , can you explain how the procedure works , I want to create applications like these but still don't understand their concept
Closing as this is a duplicate thread for this one:

Hey guys...kind of in a bind. I need to enable my TP2 as a Wifi hub quickly. I am sure that this has been discussed several times but am unable to find my answer in the time that I have. I have tried using the dongle approach but it seems as though the connection wont 'take'...which may be because of a poor/old USB connection on the laptop itself. Either way I know that the laptop has a quality wireless card and would like to make it connect through my phone via a wireless connection. Anyone have a cab or otherwise that can make this work? Thank you in advance for any help.
It is as simple as this

That doesnt really help. It is exactly the listing group that I had found before. Is there a cab file out there that I can install in order to make this happen?
WiFiRouter is the best way to go:
http://www.wmwifirouter.com/
I use it all the time to tether via USB on my laptop. However, I've also used it as a mobile WiFi hotspot. My wife and I can both be on our laptops at the same time.
I've only used it a limited number of times in WiFi mode, but it has worked well when I did. The only issues I had was that the range did not need excessive. If I was more than 20 feet from my phone sign loss started happening. Of course, I live right under a cell phone tower so it may have been due to just lots of interference. Also, you'll burn through your battery pretty quick doing this as well.
So I've been using the Tom coding package that installs the mobile Wi-Fi router with no problems until last night... now it keeps trying to connect to ISP.Cingular and then stops... it basically doesn't work now. I've tried to uninstall and reinstalled it dozens of times with no luck.
And yet... the 3G connection works because I can browse through Opera. So...?
OhI might add that I can turn on the Wi-Fi and connect to my in-house router just fine and do what on the internet through the phone. SO... it is definitely something specific with wireless internet sharing.
???
Someone please he me I use internet sharing DAILY
You need to make sure that it is connecting to the correct address. At the bottom of the App, it should have a few different choices of connections to use. Try another one and see if it works. You may have to set up a new connections for this to work properly. Keep in mind that tethering/mobile hotspot is not covered by AT&T's wireless data plan. It is a separate monthly charge. You should be careful when using it too much at a time, so they don't block or throttle your connection.
The device I am trying to connect with to my Tilt 2 is a Samsung Galaxy Tab, and apparently it doesn't like ad-hoc, whatever that is exactly. I was told on the Galaxy Tab section of this forum that this is the case, and that I need some kind of "mobile ap", although again I do not understand what that exactly means. ???
Ah, see that's much better information. So, no, you probably won't be able to connect without another app doing so. Ad-hoc is, simply put, a connection to another device other than a router which is allowing you access to its Internet connection. If the device you're trying to connect with doesn't allow ad-hoc connections, then the Wifi Router app won't do you any good, as that is the type of connection it uses. Most mobile devices do not natively support this, however. The problem, therefore, is with the Galaxy Tab you have, not with the TP2. Find an app or mod that allows for ad-hoc connections and you'll be all set.
Well is there an apparently for the WM phone side of things that will do non ad-hoc??
No. Ad-hoc is a connection between two devices. Unless you use a router, that's how it's going to be no matter if you are using WM, a laptop, iOS, Android, et cetera. The connection type is determined by the device sending the signal. If it comes from a device, then it is ad-hoc. It is not a problem with the software. That is how wifi was designed to work in the first place. The problem, again, is with the Tab, not the WM application.
Well apparently there is a solution for the Tab that allows it to see ad-hoc networks, so I will try that and let you guys know how it went.
Can no longer connect to Ad-Hoc with Tilt 2
I have been using both the CM Internet Sharing program and the WMWifiRouter with no issues for over a year now on my AT&T Tilt 2.
One day a couple weeks ago I had been using CM to connect my laptop to the internet. everything was just fine as usual.
At some point, I had disconnected and tried to reconnect, and since then I can no longer use either of these programs.
What happens is this...I turn them on and the phone will no longer hold a connection to the ad-hoc network that is created. Up in the status bar I see the icon showing WiFi trying to connect but it will not stick anymore.
I can connect to my office and/or home wifi router still. It just will not connect to the ad-hoc network any longer.
This makes no sense to me at all, since it has always worked and was even working earlier in the day when it stopped working.
I use the tethering frequently and really need to get this solved. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What I am asking is if there is any way to connect to the computer using the phones network?
Some times I may be located somewhere out of town and may need to upload some files on my pc, but there is no way I can do that.
The only way would be to set up a connection on your computer for it to be ready to accept your phones signal and so on. So that you can use your phones internet to connect to your computer while out of town and control it.
Anyone find this possible? It would be great to do this.
If there is no software for it, but it is possible and if it is my idea, I wish I knew programming to create it lol.
try orb.com
I use live sync, but read here (labnol.org/internet/access-computer-files-over-internet/13816/) about other ways of creating virtual networks..
I got it to work if I connect my phone to my wifi.
Another thing to mention is when you connect your phone via usb and active sync pops up your phone isnt really connected yet so you have to click "connect phone without configuring any settings". After doing so I can connect to remote desktop.
But those 2 work, and I need it to work over 3g while I am not near my computer and out of town. Any way to do that?
Im trying to run my internet through my relatively new laptop. It is a DV6-7000. I have a Galaxy Nexus running CM 4.2.2 M2. My intention is to run the internet through Bluetooth but i seem to be failing. My laptop has Intel Centrino Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 + high speed.
I have already paired the devices. I can see my phone through laptop and the laptop through my phone. and its "connected". From that though, it just doesn't work. My laptop only gives me 3 options when i click on it and they are send files, play mp3, and sync pim data with phone book. When i click on my laptop through my phone under profiles it only lists "Media Audio" with a check mark. Both these devices support what i want.... so im a bit lost at what is going on. In my laptop i go to lower right, and right click the bluetooth symbol and hit join Personal Area Network, it then pops up the bluetooth devices list again and that itself does nothing different but show me the 3 choices from before. S then i abandoned CM built in tether al together and download a PAN bluetooth app. It wont even connect.
At this point im thinking its my PC because plenty of people seem to be able to have a bluetooth internet connection... which makes my situation really odd. Any help would be appreciated.
btw all drivers are up to date.
PDAnet+, there's a fee associated with it but it's the only way I know how to tether via Bluetooth successfully, and I believe it doesn't require root access on your device. You'll need an application on your phone, and another application (or piece of software if you will) on your laptop. I know PDAnet+ supports USB tether and if you can, I would suggest using that. Bluetooth tether eats at your battery, not as bad as Wifi tether though.
Free Option: There is an app named Wireless Tether for root users but it requires root access, and I don't know if it has support for the laptop. I was currently checking for a post for more info on a tablet, so if I find out more I'll be sure to PM you with more information.
