Hi,
I'm trying to find a program that would let me tether my own wifi (not my cell data) through USB, because my wireless card is having trouble on my laptop.
So: WiFi access point --> Nexus S --> USB cable --> laptop = happy customer
Sharing my cell data is pretty hectic when I'm in the basement so it's a no go. BTW I'm rooted stock everything. If a ROM has this incorporated i'd be happy, but an app would be better.

I'm pretty sure that all roms include a feature called USB Tethering, which does what you're seeking for.
Try Setting / Wireless and Networks / Tethering & portable hotspot
Well the USB tethering from the stock ROM is sharing my cellular data which isn't what I'm looking for. I want to share the wifi my phone is connected to.

RE: Tethering the Fuze Wifi + USB
Is there anyway to tether the Fuze acting as a WIFI router to then connect via USB to my PC?
Wifi signal > to the FUZE > USB cord connect via Internet Sharing W/O using data plan> to my PC >
Benefits are I wont have to use my data data when tethering or have to buyt a usb wifi card.
Thanks!!!

im fairly sure this app has what you want.
First, I do not know the answer to your question.
Second, for the $28.00 USd you'll spend on that software, I'll bet you can get a USB wifi stick.
Third, You have a $400 phone........
Thanks for the tips guys... I just got a new spot and would prefer to not abuse my 5 gig data limit while we buy everything else....

Yea this app does exactly what your asking and pretty well (I did the trial). I wish there was free alternative because the wifi to usb is the only part i'm interested in.
Did some searching and.came up empty handed.
I want to use my captivate as a wireless card for my laptop either through tethering or bluetooth. However I want it to use my home wifi instead of the 3g data.
I know I could just go out and drop $20 on a wifi card, but I want to use just one device on the laptop instead of many.
Is this possible, is there an app for that? (No iphone pun intended)

I rooted my phone because I don't want to pay for wifi tethering.
I cant find a tethering app that my Xoom with recognize.

just use the default one that is on the stock rom I use it for my xoom
I prefer the WiFi Hotspot. Creates a wifi router in your pocket. Adds some freedom and you can connect multiple devices.
Hardwire tethering can be more reliable but not so much that is it worth the risk (plus it looks stupid).
Im traveling this summer and am going to be in a area without wifi but with wired internet. Is there anyway for me to get internet to my phone using a usb cable from a computer and then transmitting that connection?

wait, internet from your phone to a wifi signal right?
Doubtful, I remember on my old WinMo 5 you could do that but I don't think you can do that on any device now. What you could do is get a wifi card for your computer (if you don't already have one), put your card in what is known as ad-hoc mode, and share your internets from there. If you need help, google it, there are plenty of guides online how to do it for Windows, mac, and linux.

USB Tether and FoxFI hotspot are broken. PDANET needs to provide a fix.
FoxFI bluetooth server can work but very slow and only one connection at a time.
Not good when you have no other internet connectivity possible in remote/rural areas
USB tethering is working for me with the free version of FoxFi 2.14.1. Getting ready to purchase the full-version since I rely on it, but sucks to have to go back to the old-school days of plugging into USB and then sharing the connection out of a PC into a Wireless router, lol. Was previously using Taiseiko's hotspot toggle widget but it's obviously broken now.
Back in my day, we had to get an aol CD with 1,000 free hours of internet to surf the web, which basically meant crude chat rooms LOLOL! (;
