Something for the advanced people on our forum. I got my HTC One X last week and for some reason, when I launch my Hot Spot, my PC crashes. It works fine providing internet to Motorola Xoom and Asus TF101 and worked fine from my previous HTC Inspire 4G. I get a BSOD caused by my wireless adapter driver NetwLv32. I have browsed the Microsoft KB and have updated my driver and the issue still exists. Has anyone else had this problem? I do have the tethering plan from AT&T. Any thoughts? Thanks!
are you talking about the USB Tethering?
My Mac & PC are both fine...
if its a laptop, just do wifi tethering, there is no way PC can crash...

Yes USB tethering works fine. It is the wireless tethering that causes my PC to crash. What's odd is that it worked perfectly with my Inspire 4G.

Yes! I am having this issue as well. I also updated my wireless drivers to no avail. I'm glad I'm not the only one but... this sucks!

I am using the standard Hot Spot feature from within the phone.
OK, I changed the default settings in the tethering LAN advanced settings. I changed the Local IP to 192.168.1.100 instead of 192.168.1.1 and the Local IP starting IP to 192.168.1.101 instead of 192.168.1.10 and I am up and running again. There must be a IP conflict somewhere in my PC... Oh well, the world is round again.
interesting news...
Hi
I have this issue on one of my laptops, and i have tried with several different android phones.
However, yesterday i tried connecting that laptop to the hotspot of my wife's iPhone 5 and it worked fine with no BSOD.
I guess there is a conflict in the broadcast somewhere which specific intel based network adapters cant handle.
A workaround would be the best option right now, since intel will not recognize this and take responsebility.

I have the same issue connecting a win-xp dell (with i3) to a Nokia 920 wif-fi router.
Instant BSOD. Message says something about IRQ conflict.

You have just to enable FIPS in your advanced settings of the wireless network connection enabled during hotspot and restarts the connection.

Hi all,
Since the announcement of WM7 I've been looking more and more into Android handsets as they are going the way to be 'our' toys, right?
One application I use a lot under WM is WMWiFiRouter, which allows me to route my 3g connection to WiFi and essentially use my phone as a router.
Does such a wireless method exist for Android? This software enables me to use 3g on my netbook without using a dongle, therefore having to switch my phone off and miss calls.
Thanks
(hope this is in the right section!)
Android does this WAY better then any of the other OS's. Check out:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Supports encryption, vibration on connect and a tonne of other cool stuff. Then for more speed there's the USB tether, which is identical other then using USB.

Many thanks for the info - Wifi routing is one of the best uses for my mobile on the go and knowing Android can do this, and well, has put it squarely in the cross-hairs when it comes to my next mobile purchase.
You don't have to turn your phone off to use wired tether.
Will this allow USB to Wifi (to use my phone as a USB Wifi adapter)? WMWifiRouter does this.

I should imagine you can. Should be able to connect to wifi on phone then enable USB tether.
I cannot test as I am without broadband in my flat
Can someone confirm please.

I can confirm that this works.
I tried it last night. Works fine.
Only works on Vista, 7, or Linux apparently.
Note. The portable hotspot is an easy alternative to connecting to a computer by ad-hoc, which you cannot do by default. Just tell the computer to connect to your Android ap automatically.

Is there no TRUE wireless router application yet? I miss my Pre showing up as a REAL router, not this ad-hoc crap. My laptop would auto-connect, and everything worked a lot more smoothly on my Pre.

You either have to root or pay Sprint $30 a month.

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)

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 successfully rooted my device (thanks kennethpenn!) this morning. I installed "Wireless Tether for Root Users" but it doesnt seem to work. Has anyone gotten it to work or have a recommendation for a different kind of wifi tethering solution? EasyTether works with a usb cable, but I'd like wifi (or possibly bluetooth).

What kind of device are you connecting from? The auto profile did not work for me, and the Generic ICS profile causes my Win7 laptop to blue screen!!
In the WiFi Tether app faq on their Google code page, one of the known issues is that the app doesn't always work with Intel wireless adapters.
Naturally, my laptop has an Intel wireless adapter. That doesn't explain why my other devices don't work, though.
The app starts, and my laptop (win 7), my SGS2 (cm9), and my iPod (v5.1.1) all see the ssid, but none can successfully connect to it. I've tried all the permutations of the settings which I can think might help, and have gotten nowhere with it.
Basically, I'm just stumped.
Bleh.

I think its a matter more of usage more than anything else. I dont know too much about it, but I think that there are different ways to enable the tethering and some hide it better than others. So long as you are not like... using absurd amounts of data on an unlimited plan or the like, I think it can be hard for them to really detect it.

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

Hello,
I just bought a Nexus 5 and fell in love with it. :victory:
But there is one big and annoying problem:
When I'm connected to my router and use Wifi I get a lot of Wifi drops and sometimes it won't work at all.
Switching to Airplane Mode or turning wifi off and back on again and all these standard solutiones. (flashing another baseband version, turning router off and back on)
Sometimes for 1 min it's perfect! But then it's back in this very annoying problem. (On every other device it's so fast like it's supposed to be)
Is somebody out there, who shares the same problem and maybe got the ultimate solution?
Greetings (sorry for my bad englisch)

I think you can fix this problem by changing the channel your that your router uses or by connecting to a 5GHz ap(if possible) but this sort of does the same with the channel 'trick'.
Download an app like inSSIDER or similar, find out what channel is least used by surrounding routers and change the channel of your router to that one.
If you need help with this let me know.

Just bought a new router and it's working!!! [emoji9] Thank you all for your help!
I had the same issues with Linksys routers. Finally bought a netgear nighthawk and couldn't be happier. I can saturate my internet connection with the phone. And it outputs 1watt of power to each 5ghz and 2.4. So I get almost full signal on 5ghz on the other side of the house
