I have used the Motorola application 3G Mobile Hotspot to share 3G internet via Wifi (simple SSID, WPA2, 10 character password, channel 11). It crashed repeatedly after some minutes: no response, disabling not possible, phone restart required. On the Wifi computer I used HTTP/HTTPS, Skype and PPTP-VPN.
Second bad point: Switching hotspot on disables Bluetooth – and therefore listening to the music via Bluetooth headphone in my case.
Build Number is latest JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0
Now I’m using Wireless Tether for Root Users (phone simply rooted using RyanZA’s z4root) – seems to be reliable, but only wifi ad-hoc support (no infrastructure mode).
Can anyone confirm this?
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.
I'm on the Vision-X-N3 rom and noticed when I tether my device that only has 801.11g can't see the hotspot. Is there a way to control the frequency being used for the hotspot? My laptop confirms it is using 802.11n for the hotspot. I had no issues on CM11.
Hello.
There is no connection between devices connected to Android wi-fi tethering.
Is it possible to enable it?
How to use hotspot function with 802.11ac ? Is there some app to download or some hidden function to activate it? Or the 802.11ac can be used just in wifi?
Thanks!
