I am right now... works great. using built in wifi tethering with wpa2 encryption.

So I should be able to just plug the phone in and tether away? Sorry, I am new to this, and have never tethered before. I have CoNcast, but it would be nice to be able to take my laptop with me, and use it while out and about.
Does the tethering option have the built-in wpa2 encryption? As I am assuming that is a security thing - again new to all this.

If you use wifi-tethering, then you might not even need to plug in... the only reason to plug in would be to feed your phone power, rather than depleting it uber fast while tethering.
wired-tethering (the other kind) is also built in, but I can't tell you how to do it. I always use wifi (so I can "enable" multiple devices simultaneously)

Ohhh, Ok - so I don't have to plug it in - I thought I had to. So I should be able to just (for example) take it to the park on my lunch break, and be able to set the phone next to my laptop and get connected...?
Sorry for all the questions, just curious how this works - as I'd like to take advantage of it. Thx!

Wireless tether for NS4G
I just rooted my wife's and her mom's NS4G that i got them, installed wireless tether app just like i did on my evo, but the NS4G will only let me setup a ad-hoc connection, no option for wpa2 setup?
any Thoughts on what i'm doing wrong?
Reviving a thread from December lol
With the wireless tether app ad-hoc is the only method supported on the nexus s. It does not do infrastructure mode like your EVO did. If you use the native tethering app it will work in infrastructure mode it will not work with 4g though only 3g.

Download the "tethering fix for Android 2.3.5 ROMs" onto the phone and flash via clockwork recovery. This will enable the built in tethering app (accessible from settings>tethering and portable hotspot) which will allow infrastructure mode.
Hope I helped
is it normal for the pc internet to be around 24mbps and the phone to be around 3 mbps under internet pass through?
also under Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center
it lists my normal pc connection which has internet access and then it lists "unidentified network" with "no internet access" is that normal?
i tried asking this in another internet passthrough question but i think it was overlooked. i also tried looking for detailed walkthroughs on line but i was unsuccessful. any help will be appreciated. thanks in advance
I just checked it out with 2 different phones and my desktop (which is wired to modem) and my laptop (wireless). And got about the same numbers so I would say ... Yes that is the norm.
why so low though? shouldn't it be close to the pc internet since its using the pc internet? some times it doesn't even get to 3mbps and stays around 0.60
why is the internet passthrough so slow compared to pc internet?

Also its even slower when I enable wifi from a internet pass through phone
has anyone noticed when u use the pass through feature u cant go to the market and download anything? i noticed it wouldnt load the market and wouldnt let me download nothing so i thought this feature was pointless then
also i dont have the issues with slow download speed with the internet pass-through thing. my internet is 15mbps and my phone gets 9mbps using pass-through

Is it normal for me to experience a cap at ca. 2.5mb/s while transfering files from my pc to the phone through a wireless lan (802n, 2.4ghz router)? The transfer speed between 2 computers is close to 11mb/s
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100.
What app are you using? Could it be a free app, with an incentive to upgrade to pro?
Are you transferring the data onto the SD-Card? If do, what speed rating does your card have?
Oh yeah, and how is the speed from phone to pc?

Well, yeah. What I meant was to do 2 speedtests: one on computer, one on phone. Then compare the results. If they're the same, then there's nothing wrong this side of your router. I suspect the results will be significantly different.

What speed do you get if you connect your phone to the PC via USB and try writing files? I suspect it is simply down to the write-speed of your internal storage.

Ofcourse. It's about 6-7 Mb/s. Because of SDCard write speed.

So, to summarize, you're getting:
6Mbps from your phone to internet
6Mbps from your computer to internet
2.5Mbps from your PC to phone
all while using the same 802n, 2.4ghz router, right?

Exactly.
I should try my Laptop-to-PC just to see the speed also, because I realized that when I said that the speed to the other pc was 10mb/s, I didn't remember it is actually a wired network, lol. But still, is 2mb/s what I am supposed to get with n-wifi on a 2.4ghz router?
Hello, I have a simple question.
My Surface connects to the router (ASUS RT-N66U) with link speed 270Mbps. When I copy files between the Surface and my Win8 desktop I get 4-5MB/s (~40mbps) in transfer speed. Is that all the Surface can manage? My laptop gets 25+MB/s (450Mbps link speed).
Can someone try and post results here?

Upload speed?
I'm on my home network coping a file from my PC to my Surface over wifi. I am not doing it over the internet.
Why are you assuming the Surface or the network is the bottleneck? Try the transfer between different devices (Surface and laptop, Surface and desktop, laptop and desktop, etc. Also try downloading a file over the Internet if your connection is fast enough that it won't bottleneck that (some people have such connections...). Try over different WiFi connections if possible.
The first step when you find a problem is to isolate it.

I can push/pull 5-6MB/sec over 802.11n (2.4 or 5ghz) which seems to be the disk speed limit when using a class 10 SD card.

Yep, tested mine. Read/Write doesn't matter, maxes out at ~5MB/sec - even on a "270 mbit" 802.11n 5ghz link with 5 bars signal.
So I guess that's as fast as the arm cpu can push bits.

No they don't - their speedtest shows 2/1.7MB second, which is 20/17Mbit. You and I and most people are seeing between 40-50Mbit/sec transfer speeds on your local network, which is not horrible for 802.11 wifi
This is a pretty good description of maximum throughput on 802.11
http://www.buffalo-technology.com/en/wireless-802-11-technologies.html
We're getting close to max speed for 802.11a or g at 5MB/sec (~50Mbit) - it's possible to get better performance out of 802.11n but you've GOT to use wide channel mode (in 2.4ghz) or 5ghz mode with multiple antennas (2T2R,or better mimo - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIMO) to essentially double/triple up your channels. Apparently (and not shocking at all) the surface might only have 1T1R
For the record: a Byte is eight bits. 2/1.7 MBps is merely 16/13.6 Mbps.

Have you always had poor speed or did it just start acting up?
Have you tried it at a coffee shop or a friends house that has WiFi?
Set to 2.4 or 5ghz?
Have you used an app like Wifi Analyzer or WiFi Overview 360 to see if you have neighbors overpowering your signal?
What WiFi channel is the tablet on?
Do you have a cordless phone in your home and if so what MHZ is it? Is the base unit near your wireless router?

You change the channel in your router software.
can you check the ping time of your router within terminal?!
i some how had the similar issue, when I checked the ping it was so unstable, around 500ms!! and as i couldnt fix my problem i made a factory reset and it gone to 4ms ( a normal ping for mobile devices ).
Ok thank you to all. I change channel to 11 and looks like everything is fine.

Glad to have helped.....
Most people don't know that by default many 2.5ghz wireless routers default channel is 6 and if you and your neighbors are all trying to connect to channel 6 there is going to be issues.
With there being more and more wireless device and if you live in apartment buildings and housing plans you need to use the apps I posted links to in post #4 to dial in to the best wifi signal in your area.
I also run the app every month or so to make sure I'm getting optimal signal.
Nowadays my wifi is terrible slow with Note10.1.. DL 7-9mbps (speedtest, several servers), UL 9 mbps. My net is 100/10 and Note 10.1 tells me that the "link speed" is 72mbps. Everything is working SLOW, opening webpages is like back in the phonemodem age.
My laptop gets 80-90 mbps for dl at the same time. I even tried to change channel to better one, but no help... Im not sure did this started after the latest "stability" update from Samtoy.
