Hi i have a grandfathered tmobile Htc touch pro 2 and have been trying to use it as router, i can get it to work to share the internet connection to my pc, but i'd like to be able to share it also with my room mate who has an T-mobile G2 but when i use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4170499#post4170499 to share it does not apear on his wi-fi list, i think it's because is an ad-hoc connection
my question is.. is there other alternative to be able to share it without using a computer?

I have a Samsung i5800 and would like to use my data plan to use the Internet at home.
I tried setting my router Dlink DIR600 (ddwrt) to connect the phone but for some reason the Dlink is unable to connect to the Adroc network generated by android-wifi-tether.
So I thought to make the phone connect to the Dlink and to make the computers to route the internet through the android but the android does not allow the Wifi and 3G running at the same time.
Is this possible?
no!!!!!!!!
you cant link your router to your phone to boost the signal per say. What you can do is just a simple android tether to the devices you want to use at your home
You can't do that on your Android phone.
Thank you.
i connected my blackberry bold 9780 to my laptop and i use it as a modem. i then used virtual router to share the 3G connection to my motorola xoom wifi. i can go online using google chrome just fine but all the other other apps, whether default or downloaded, refuse to connect online. im wondering if it's an adapter setting that i need to adjust or something. p,lease help. i am very frustrated at not bein able to use internet depending apps. it breaks my heart.

I don't understand...you are basically using your Blackberry/laptop configuration to make a mobile hotspot, right? If the Xoom can access the wifi signal for one app it should be able to for any app. Maybe I'm missing something. Can you give more explanation?

I connected my blackberry bold which has 3g to my laptop which broadcasts the connection via wifi. The chrome browser and android market and other goodies apps connect but installed apps don't connect. Plus I recently bought a huawei e5 mobile 3g wireless router. I got my xoom connected to the network but right now only the browser goes online,. The other apps just do not. I don't know what other piece of detail I can give other than the fact that my Xoom wifi is not connecting to 3g networks broadcast via wifi. Any ideas?
This is really very strange... I switched my 3G-Xoom into flight mode and then activated WiFi (so it basically behaves like a WiFi-only Version) and connected it to my mobile (Samsung Galaxy S) and all apps are able to access the internet. Connecting ist to a UMTS-Router (Option GlobeSurf) also worked like a charm...
Did you try to connect your Xoom to a WiFi-Router at home (= Internet access via cable not UMTS)? Does this work or do you encounter the same probs?
Hi im sorry if im not posting in correct place but im having trouble getting 10mbs+ on ps4 connection i get 123kbs download speed and upload speed like 106.8kbs can someone help me improve the configure setting so i can have a better speed? Please i have a rooted samsung galaxy s5 with unlimited data and wifi tether router it works fine with my other s5 but not with ps4 connection please help me
How did you get it to work on the ps4 please help???
I am actually having the same problem.. I just picked up a ps4 a few weeks ago and decided to root my phone (galaxy note 3) and downloaded the Wi-Fi tether router from the play store. My brothers iPhone and my girlfriends laptop connects to my Wi-Fi perfectly. But when I try to connect to ps4, the console won't sign me into the PlayStation network. the console will obtain the IP address, internet connection is successful but PSN sign in fails. The internet browser on the console also goes to the Tmobile page asking me to activate hotspot. I tried setting up vpn to try and bypass tmobiles restrictions but it takes me to the same Tmobile page. This is my only means of playing online or enjoying Netflix. Please help
did u ever get it to work I've encountered the same problem
Hi there,
At my girlfriend's house there's an existing WiFi access point for their home network and they also have a bunch of computers wired in with ethernet cable. Mobile reception in the house is terrible but I've found one spot by a window where I can sustain a pretty decent dc-hsdpa link. I'm able to tether my laptop to my phone, the phone creates a new WiFi network ap and my laptop connects to that. That works fine.
The thing is, what I'd really like to do, is to have access to the dc-hsdpa connection from some of the wired computers on her home network. To do that I want to have my phone bridge the house network - via their existing WiFi ap - to the mobile internet connection. I'd like the phone to provide a gateway on the house network that could be manually used from the other computers. (I want to avoid using DHCP or anything as it will disrupt the network for other users.)
I know this is technically possible but I'm struggling to find an application that allows for this functionality. I've spent a good amount of time searching around the internet but to no avail. Does anyone know where I can look or of a suitable application? (My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 flashed to run a rooted variant of the play edition KitKat rom.) I'm happy to pay money.
Cheers, Dave.
I've been trying to figure out how but failing. Is it possible to share my phones Internet using a program like WiFi Tether Router and share my phone on the same network?
If you don't know what I mean, when I join a network my PC or phone can see each other...link to each other for file sharing, connect to things like roku or plex or side sync.... But when the phone is the device doing the tethering it isn't available on the network. ..
Is it possible?
