Does anybody know if the hotspot of the iPhone is an adhoc wifi?
My p6210 could not recongnize the adhoc (wmwifiRouter) of my wm phone, but could connect to the hotspot of my friend's iPhone for tethering.

The Galaxy Tab 7 Plus cannot do adhoc wifi. People have tried cannot get it to work. Search and you can find the threads about it.
I know the GT7P can not use adhoc. Tha's why I wonder if the hotspot of iPhone is some other type of wifi. The GT7P can use iPhone's hotspot for tethering.
That would mean the Iphone's hotspot runs in infrastructure mode.

Hi friends
i installed Wireless tether app from
hxxp://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=NexusOne
everything works fine my iphone and my PC are able to see my AP and are able to use the tethered internet , the only problem is my friends with Captivate and Vibrant phone cannot see this access point no matter what we tried ,
is there something different in the way the AP is being broadcasted ? and how to fix this issue.
any help appreciated
Thanks
Anil
It is because most of those wireless tethering app can't make your phone as true wi-fi access point (infrastruture mode) but rather use ad-hoc mode. PCs and iPhones can access ad-hoc network but most Android phones can't.

That means those so-called wireless tethering apps are virtually ueseless. Android, or maybe just Samsung, doesn't support ad-hoc wireless networks.
To make an infrastructure mode wi-fi access point is much more complicated task.

hmm ive used barnacle in ad-hoc mode and it works fine for me for tethering...ive also used the wireless tether proggy in adhoc and it works fine on my captivate...
This will probably be fixed with froyo. Or i hope it is.

It will work fine between a PC and the phone. Ad-hoc is only an issue when trying to connect from phone to phone. Android phones (all that I have used) do not support connecting to an ad-hoc wireless network.
Android does not support ad-hoc wifi. Sad really, i found this out long ago when i had an Archos 5 Android tablet briefly. Every other device/toy i've owned (Nokia N800/N810/N900, iPod Touch, iPad) with the exception of Android devices and the Zune HD do ad-hoc wifi.
Had been using aNetShare on my rooted HTC Hero to setup wifi hotspots and has worked fine with laptops etc.. but seems the transformer cant see it - I guess its because its an ad-hoc network and not supported ?
Just wondering if anyone can recommend an app I can run off my phone that does work using somthing other than an ad-hoc network - or is this not possible ?
Many Thanks !!!
This prob wont help but the personal wifi hotspot option in android 2.2 works fine but android tether or barnicle don't seem to work.
Doesn't PdaNet support bluetooth tethering? Is that an option for tethering the Transformer?
I have an Android Honeycomb Tablet (Asus Transformer), which blocks ad-hoc WiFi connections. So, the Wireless Tethering for Root Users app won't help me for a WiFi connection. Barnacle also seems to do ad-hoc WiFi connections, so no help there.
But, I used to be able to do Bluetooth tethering to the tablet using the Wireless Tethering for Root Users app just fine from my MotoDroid. For some reason, I can't with my SamChg. After pairing the tablet with my SamChg and starting a Bluetooth wireless tether on the SamChg, the Tethering profile doesn't appear on the tablet (it did for the MotoDroid)
Is there a way to do Bluetooth Tethering with the SamChg?
Thanks,

Wireless Tether for root users isn't really ad-hoc. It sets your phone up as a wireless hub and supports multiple connections. So, I am not sure why the wifi is not working for you. I use it with my Xoom through wifi all the time and it is also running honeycomb.

Hi, Kornsaq - I just tried using WT4RU to connect to my laptop, and my SamChg showed up as a computer-computer ad-hoc network.
Are you doing anything special to get an infrastructure connection?

Hi guys,
installed wifi tether from google code.
it worked, however, noticed a couple things.
1. After turning off wifi tether, I'm still able to detect the adhoc wireless network. (Concerned about battery drain)
2. When having the wifi tether running, it isn't an access point, but an ad hoc network.
Anyone else having these issues? Known issues?
same here
I'm having the same issue basically. My laptop sees the "Androidtether" but it wont connect. It did the same thing with usb tethering too.
Installed Pdanet and it works off and on. I'm in a 4g city...frustrating that I can't get those sweet speeds over to my computer! haha
I am having same issue..anyone have any ideas? I wish it came up as a reg wireless connection instead of the ad hoc network....the stock wifi hotspot comes up correctly

Technically, the SamChg stock WiFi Hotspot is coming up incorrectly as an Infrastructure connection, and the android-wifi-tether app is coming up correctly as an "Ad-Hoc" connection.
It's just not "convenient" for us that the Google android-wifi-tether app only comes up in ad-hoc mode.
From Wikipedia: A wireless ad hoc network is a decentralized type of wireless network. The network is ad hoc because it does not rely on a preexisting infrastructure, such as routers in wired networks or access points in managed (infrastructure) wireless networks.
Personally, I can't think of anything more "decentralized" than a mobile phone.
As far as I know, the latest version found here (3.0-pre14) works, and it has infrastructure mode. Just use the Samsung Fascinate option when setting (Device-Profile) it up and it should work.
wow thanks..that worked beautifully...appreciate it
Hi!
I'm having an issue with the wireless hotspot function between the SII and the Galaxy Tab Plus.
I've set up the hotspot as the phone suggested, but when I connect the Tab, it can connect to the network, but can't seem to access the internet at all. The wireless connection bar is white, but not blue like it is when I've connected to my router.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Is this a pay only hotspot app on the SII as for example Verizons hotspot app which requires a seperate data plan? I was able to get Android Wifi Tether to work on mine. Something to do with tablets not being able to connect to adhoc wifi connections? My phone is an HTC Droid Incredible, open Wifi Tether and go to Settings>Change Setup-Method and enabled Softap (master) and was finally able to get my GTab to recognize the phone.
Sorry for the late reply!
I've asked my provider, and they said that I shouldn't have any issues using the stock app in Android. I had a look on the internet (Called Samsung and they were no help) about your suggestion on ad-hoc networks, and it seems to be bang on the money. I'm not too keen on rooting my phone at the moment, but will definitely consider it in the near future when ICS comes out.
Thanks for your help!
