Was playing about with a spare wireless N router that has a wan miniport issue, which I resloved by installing dd-wrt and setting wan to lan. Anyway after this I tried to connect my phone to the router (which was set to N-only) and found I couldnt connect :/
Setting the router to GN-mixed (as in G and N) I could connect but only at a max of 54mbps (meaning less range as it was only connecting in wireless G mode).
Could this be an issue with dd-wrt? or has anyone else not been able to connect to a wireless N network?
EDIT: nevermind, figured out my issue was the encryption type for my password (for wireless N you must use WPA2-AES). Please delete this thread if deemed appropriate

hi mates i have a JASJAR which is obvious. and i have a wm6 rom installed on it. the problem is i have switched to many roms but some how i m facing the same problem in all . i have a wireless router cum modem with network authentication of WPA-PSK and encryption of TKIP. this modem is wired to my desktop and i use it wirelessly on my laptop. I even connect my SONY PSP to it wirelessly. the problem is whenever i try to connect my PPC wirelessly. it just dont work. it discovers the SSID of my router and everything. even the KEY is provided accurately.. it tries to connect for sometime and suddenly the connecting process drops to disconnected view.. i have no idea, y its not connecting.. can anyone let me know where m i goin wrong ? or provide proper steps to configure the wifi connection on my ppc so as i can browse internet and use the high speed of my connection on my ppc ? man this is really getting me annoyed as i been working on it for days already pleaaasee if anyone can help me out on this it be awesome
May be due to the wireless class...
May be due to the wireless class... i also have JASJAR and it only have wireless b, and most wireless modems are g. so the class doesn't match and as a result the connection can not be established... same thing happened to me... the options are to get the modem that support wireless IEXXXXb or get a wifi card for JASJAR as it only has built in b class. the card will support class g connections.... just google for the wifi card ( wifi SD card)...
Hi guys,
I've recently become the proud owner of a vodafone touch pro. However when connecting to wifi, opera etc will not find any webpages. Now i know my wifi is working and the phone connects fine and picks up the DHCP ip address.
What could I be doing wrong? I've noticed data connections is disabled but I believe this is just for GPRS etc? Either way how can I confirm my wifi connection is being used?
Many thanks
EDIT - NM it was because it was not set to work
Hi Scribe,
I had the same problem as yours. No solution so far. Had no problem with GPRS.
I have mine working good on either wifi or GPRS.
Probably it's wifi problem? Have you tried on another wifi connection?
what was not set to work?
I have the same issue, connects to wifi but no internet. laptop connects and browses fine, but touch pro (and also diamond) don't
Make sure when you set your wifi connection up you say that it is used to connect to work not the internet, also make sure your adapter settings say this.
The problem is that the phone will always default to GPRS/3G for the internet but if it senses a local work network it will use that first.
Stupid I know!
I have the same prob, I changed some settings and it works. Try change Authentication to Shared instead of WAP-PSK, Data Encryption to WEP instead of TKIP. After you have internet connection, you can change to previous wifi settings with same network key.
Mine has gone again! I swear it's because 'Connects to the internet' wont save in the proxy settings - nope not that and still wont work, I've also tried by disabling all security
Hi,
I found that Nexus S supports Wireless N, which is much faster and has better range than Wireless G.
Right now, my ADSL router at home (provided by my internet provider) does not support Wireless N. It does support Wireless G which I am using it now with my Nexus S.
Knowing that I could not replace this router, what would you suggest for adding Wireless N?
My plan is:
- Turn off the Wireless G functionality in the ADSL router
- Buy a Wireless N router and hook it up to the LAN (ethernet) port
Currently the ADSL router / network setup is:
- Network = 192.168.1.x
- Netmask = 255.255.255.0
- Gateway = 192.168.1.254
- DNS = 192.168.1.254
- DHCP = 192.168.1.200 - 192.168.1.220
But, I don't quite understand with what IP address should I assign to the new Wireless N router?
How do I connect the Wireless N to the network? I think, I only need to connect both routers via the ethernet port ...
Anyone can help?
Thanks
keep it simple
leave your ADSL modem as is
and when you purchase your new Wireless N access point ,just disable the build in DHCP server of the Wireless N access point
hook up the Wireless N AP to your ADSL modem, using the Switch ports, not the WAN port, and let your ADSL modem do its job
there are of course way better way to do this, but it's too much to explain.
the above is the simplest method for non tech
The thing is that I want to put the new Wireless N in the first floor, which is located near my bed room.
Current ADSL router is in the ground floor and the signal is weak picked by poor Nexus S (no problem with HTC Desire though).
So, my plan is to connect this Wireless N to a network switch in the first floor.
Do I need to have it set as "bridge" ?
Or I simply hook it up to the switch, set it as wireless access point, and done?
But, I think in this way, I still need to assign an IP address to it, right?

Hello, i have been having a curious issue with my WiFi. My Galaxy tab seems to have issues connecting to my work router. it will see it.. and sometimes try to connect but usually doesn't. The router is a Link Sys BEFW11S4. If i unplug the router and plug it back in, then the Tab will connect. Also a more recent issue is at my home ( i have Verizon FIOS w/ wireless router) i can connect fine and internet works, but when i use my Facebook app, it says no connection. A lot of the time i tether my Tab to my phone ( HTC EVO 4G) and everything always works fine.
I have read about issues with GT7 and certain routers. has anyone experienced anything like this? It sees the routers, just sometimes cannot connect to them.
I have tried removing the router and re adding it...changing the IP address..and wireless channels. Unplugging the router and pluggin back in always seems to work, at least temporarily.
Any suggestions?? Thanks!
OK, my wife and I each have Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3's. We both have Wifi Tether TrevE mod installed and working and we also have a linksys router running DD-WRT.
I have wanted for a long time to create a stable home network with the router using our phones for internet. Reason being, We both have laptops that need access to our WiFi networked printer. And I also wanted to create a networked storage.
I started out trying to use the Router as a repeater bridge. The problem here is that in that mode there is no DHCP server in the router, so when you turn off WiFi Tether in the phone, there is no IP assignment taking place since it is handled by the phone. This is ok for the printer because we can set a static IP, but not ok for the laptops because they need to have auto ip assignment for all the other networks they might encounter. Plus I'd like to be able to have a friend come over and use the printer if need be without having to change his IP address. So this setup is unstable.
Then I tried the Router in Repeater mode. In this mode IP addresses are being assigned and everyone can see everyone else on the network. The problem here though, is that the Router and all connecting devices have to be in a separate subnet than the WiFi Tethering phone, i.e, Tethered Phone on 192.168.1.x and Router on 192.168.2.x (as far as I can tell anyway, I've tried putting them on the same subnet but fail to get internet access.) It's a problem because I have Samba Filesharing installed on the phones and the tethered phone is in a different subnet and not visible on the network. I want all devices visible.
So that's kind of where I am now, Wifi Tether on both phones (each setup with same settings so either phone can be used as our internet gateway) but they are on a separate subnet from the rest of the network while tethering.
How do I get all of my devices to be visible on the network?
Do I need a different setup in DD-WRT?
Currently it is setup in Gateway mode with DHCP server and wireless is in repeater mode with a VLAN setup with a different SSID from the WiFi tethered phone.
Do I need to usb tether the phone to the router? I have a usb port on the router but I've not found good instructions for getting the phones internet through to the router that way and I'm not sure that I would want it that way since I wouldn't be able to walk around with my phone.
Is there a way to make devices in different subnets visible to each other? Some kind of bridging or static routing or something?
Is it possible to have the phone connect to the router in a normal manner and for the router to then share the phones internet connection with the rest of the network? Then at least the router could run DHCP and be stable even without the phones.
Again, just to clarify, I want a home network with devices connecting to my WiFi router running DD-WRT and internet being provided by one of our phones, but with the network remaining intact when the internet provided phone is removed. Thanks for your help.
Bonus questions:
Is it possible to harness the power of both of our phones internet connections into one network by any means possible?
Are there any other wifi/tethering apps or another version of WiFi Tether that offer more features or the functionality of DD-WRT?
did you see this?

Thanks. Not much new there other than Barnacle. Didn't know about it, tried it, doesn't work on my phone. I would like to see a version of WiFi Tether with some more options though, why couldn't we have one with the same options as DD-WRT?
I did some more reading and I think what I need to do is link the subnet created by the router to the primary router (the phone serving Wifi Tether) through static routing. Unfortunately the static route needs to be done through the primary router and WiFi Tether doesn't include features like that.
I'll do some more experimenting and see what happens.
[A] Cellular Phone/USB Modem As WAN Connection
Answer is in the DD-WRT Wiki, here (http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Cellular_Phone/USB_Modem_as_WAN_connection).
Or just google "DD-WRT Cellular Phone/USB Modem As WAN Connection", it should be the #1 result.
Their WIKI is a great resource.
Good luck!
EDIT:
In retrospect, I am unsure about linking to the DD-WRT site... external and all. If this is a no-no just let me know and I will delete the link.
DD-WRT Client Bridge worked for me
I was able to do what you're trying to do by configuring my DD-WRT router as a Client Bridge.
I can't post the link, but there are directions I followed exactly on the DD-WRT wiki in the section:
DD-WRT wiki mainpage / Linking Routers / Client Bridged
I'm connecting my router to the tether via wifi, and connecting my wired devices to the router. I haven't had it working long, but so far it has been great.
Got it, sort of
Just to update this thread. The client bridge is a great way to connect a wired network to the bridge but loses out on creating a stable wi-fi network when the phone tether is turned off.
Anyway, the final setup I managed was having the DD-WRT router set as a wireless repeater with a computer connected to it running a DHCP server. The computer takes care of the IP addreses so that we have a stable wired/wi-fi intranet when the phone is not sharing it's internet connection.
Update: I founde another solution/project based on OpenWRT

my exploits using a Linksys E3000 have been documented here:
http://tweakedrom.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7
I kind of like the USB tether thing. The E3000 Router USB power charges and maintains my SCH-i605 (Verizon Samsung GN2) running CM12.1. I use this as a backup connection or in the event of main cable modem service disruption at the house. It is also great for traveling (hotels) or camping (car 12v adapter for router, or power inverter)
I just bought a used Asus RT-N66U router. Out of the box it supports USB tethering with android phones and dual WANs for failover/load balancing. ROOter also works, tested the x86 build on an old PC. I'm looking to cut out my ISP completely and just use 4G from the phone for internet. The issue I have run into is that I can't appear to do DDNS or port forwarding. My wireless carrier (verizon) appears to be employing a double NAT. If I perform a speedtest on the ookla app, I get 2 IP addresses in the results, an "internal" and an "external". Both are in the public range but I can't DDNS in with either of the IPs, nor can I get any kind of service working.
Anyone have a solution for this? I'm not 100% sure but I wonder if using the SIM card in a dedicated USB 4G modem (not tethering via the phone) would get me a direct IP? I suppose I could also sign up for a VPN service and run OpenVPN on the router but that'd cut down on speeds I think. I've also heard about punching holes for ports but I'm not 100% sure how that works, I assume I still need some 3rd party public IP for relaying or something.
