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?

Probably a hardware limitation.
I'm guessing its the USB cable.

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

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
I noticed when downloading large files of any kind on my inspire or on my laptop (W-Vista) it always cuts off after 10 percent or somewhere near that, I was wondering why does this happen? Is it my phone, or a setting that needs to be changed, or my data speed?
Note
-Inspire 4g is rooted (coredroid)
-Files size are somewhere around 200mb - more
-Downloading speed usaully around 2.30 or higher

Forget about the phone for a second. Am I reading your post correctly - you have this problem when downloading a file to your laptop?
I assume the laptop is tethered to the phone while downloading.
Yes, while my laptop is using the wifi hotspot of my inspire.

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?
Does anyone know of a way that I can use an old Droid X as a reverse WiFi hotspot? What I want to do is use the existing WiFi in my house and connect to a device that does not have a WiFi card in it. Is there a way to connect my old phone to my wireless network, then share that connection through the USB cord? Thanks

Yes, It's called "USB" tether. It is built into ICS and Jellybean. Also the app "PDA 3.5" works very well for this if you are on GB or below.
edit:
Just to further explain, you just connect your droid X to your WiFi network, then hook it up to the computer you want internet on with USB, then go to settings > Wirelss and networks > more > tethering a portable hotspot, and select the USB option.
If that does not work then use PDA 3.5 (free market app, works well, gives you full instructions)

Thanks I'll give this a try when I get home. I figured the tether would only work on a data connection. I know in the past when I've tried turning tethering on then it automatically would turn off my wifi.
As far as I knew to get PDAnet to work you had to install on the computer as well. Does PDA 3.5 work the same way? If so I won't be able to do that as I have no way of installing it on the device I am trying to connect to the internet.

You can just download it to your phone and move it to the computer. I think the app downloads the exe file for you.

Hey guys. Can some one please tell me what i should do on my Nexus to get it to connect to the PS3?
So I've scoured the forums looking for my exact problem but to no avail. I am trying to connect my wifi hotspot to my ps3 to watch netflix basically. I can get the wifi connected from phone to computer with no problem (thats what im using now). However, when i scan my PS3 for wifi signals, the only thing thats comes up are the usual wifi signals from the neioghbors. I've tried all the settings i can find on the web but nothing works, like changing device info to Optimus 2 and softap. I'm using a rooted Nexus with the Wifi tether app. under Settings, Change device, i dont see my phone make or madel. Maybe that has something to do with it. I have no idea... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
A guy who just wants to watch netflix on his stupid ps3
