Now to be specific I'm not talking about cellular network I'm talking about sharing a wifi signal thru my phone because my phone can reach the signal but my computer cannot is there any way for me to connect and beacon the signal thru my phone I believe it's called ad hoc but not sure

I did it once not sure how i used my phone as a wifi modem don't ask me how or what app or setting it was

wifi shuts down as soon as I turn on tether

It's probably easier to get a wifi repeater.
It's not as cool from a ""Look at the awesome nerdy stuff I can do" perspective...but it's probably the easiest way.
Using your phone as a repeater will be unfriendly to your battery life.
Had it pluged in comp lol

USB tethering shares wifi (at least it did in my previous phones, not tried on Sensation/CM9).

No trouble at home, multiple work locations, Starbucks, airports etc.
Thank you for the detailed instructions! Will try it tonight. one router is for use in the living room while the other is for the bedroom due to the range.

I've noticed that the wifi range for the sensation is good, but not as good as my old iphone 4's. I used to be able to connect to my wifi network from my room with my iphone 4, but with the sensation it's hit and miss. Sometimes it'll connect but it'll drop it and go back to tmobile's network frequently.
Nevertheless, I just use my laptop instead to use wifi . It's easier.

do remember bro...walls inbetween fone and router do hinder the signal...so b sure the non-detectable router is brodcasting at max strength...also gimme the model and make of non-detectable router as well as probable distance from usage area.....enjoy
Check the channel setting on the non detected router it might be using some higher channels or the router might have broadcast ssid disabled .
Broadcast is definitely on as my wife's iphone can detect the network.

Is the one not being detected using 5Ghz? If so, that's the problem. Phone only works on 2.4Ghz.
Finally got it to work. Not sure how it happen tho. Thanks!

If this has been asked and answered, I apologize. Can't figure what to search for to find it.
I have a multi-story house and one wifi access point simply doesn't cover it all. I've wired up one for upstairs and one for downstairs. One of the two has DHCP enabled. Both have identical SSIDs and security. I do not know to change BSSIDs (some kinda hidden SSID?) Have tried setting both to same channel and to different channels - currently on 7 and 11.
My charge will not automatically switch between them. Under EE4 I could turn off wireless and when I turned it back on it'd connect to the stronger signal. Under all the gingerbread builds it connects to one and even after turning wireless on and off it connects to the original one. Under GB I can only switch between them using Wiifi Analyzer's connect feature. Under GB I've taken to setting up the SSIDs to different values so I can at least manually switch between them in settings. This is a royal pain as I walk between the two floors all the time.
What am I doing wrong? Doesn't anyone else have this problem?
Instead of multiple routers, try using wireless repeaters or extenders. A repeater picks up a wifi signal and rebroadcasts it for better reception. A network extender has an ethernet port that connects to your router and makes an access point without making a new network.

I prefer dd wrt routers using WDS. There are lots of resources about this. Or just buy a some access points. I find that repeaters have interference issues.

Well, actually my second router is currently setup in firmware to be an access point.
Have either of you guys observed a Charge w/ GB actually handing off correctly? If so, at least I'd know that it's my setup.

A repeater is the best solution? The upstairs location just barely picks up the wifi from downstairs. Seems like you'd lose a lot of thruput that way.

Tried the app "Wifi Manager"? It might help you. There a bunch others. I would try them all out to see if they help your situation.
WiFi Jumper fixed this problem for me. Well worth the money.

Seems like a nifty utility. Easier than setting up WDS, but I still think that WDS is the bees knees when it comes to having rock-solid wifi everywhere you want.
Hi all,
I have been trying for a while now to get the wifi tethering app and the native hotspot app to work in ICS on my NS4g (i have flashed all the ICS roms and even back tracked to older 2.3 roms) but nothing seems to work. The other devices can see the network and connect, but there is never any type of data exchanged. (the wifi icons never show an active online connection) I can use my GF's Evo with the unlocked Sprint hotspot to connect every device I own (tablets, laptops, etc...) but my Nexus will not work at all. I can get the ad hoc tethering to work with the old wireless tether apk, but only my laptop recognizes the connection.
Is there any rom, app, or fix to get my Nexus S 4g to tether in infrastructure mode? I love this phone, and the lack of tethering is persuading me to jump back on board with my OG Evo.
Any help, insight, or recommendation would be appreciated. I've been searching online for weeks looking for a solution and have come up empty.
Thanks
Jason
Have you tried open garden ? On the market

Yes I have tried it. That app only supports ad hoc connections
Wow I do not have this issue
Try the one in the phones settings with a simple name ssid like "cranberry" and have it be open.
That's what I do. Also wifi has to be off.

I do that and it connects, but I get no internet. The bars never change colors showing there is an active internet connection...

Use native ics tethering and do not encript with a password(leave wifi open).

Is Bluetooth tethering monitored by carriers the same as wi-fi? Is there any difference as far as AT&T is concerned?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
I don't think it matters how you tether, att is going to look at data usage and browser user id.

Bluetooth tether though has less power requirement. e.g phone will live another 2-3 hours more in this mode.
I didn't see this in the forums before but I was wondering if it is possible to tether a wifi hotspot on the nexus through it's wifi. I ask this because I travel 3 weeks at a time with my company and can't use Netflix, live, etc on my xbox. They have wifi and ethernet there but both have the stupid welcome page and you have to agree to terms to use the internet.the xbox doesn't have a browser that allows me to accept the webpage and I'm in North Dakota with work and I'm in constant roaming the entire time so no 3g natively of my phone to tether. So that brings me back to my question is there anyway to use the wifi they have open a browser window on my phone accept the welcome and then tether to my console?
I wonder if you can accept the TOS, jot down the IP address then quickly disconnect and force your Xbox to the same IP address given in advanced networking? Also you can tether with a laptop for sure, not sure with the phone.

Guarantee you could use your phones browser connected to the wifi to accept the terms of service. I've done it several times with things like that.

You can't use Wi-Fi and tether at same time, the chip can't do both at same time

If your wifi is connected you can tether it to a computer through usb tether. I know that for sure cause I do it all the time.
