I have recently installed a program that simplifies the use of your PC as a router so that you can access the internet via the WiFi adapter in you PC.
In my case I am using a Lenovo G560 Laptop with built in Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter and a ZTE USB modem for internet connection.
My Android device is an Acer Iconia A101 running ICS (4.0.3) and is rooted although I believe it is not necessary to have a rooted device for the software to work.
The software is Connectify-me and is available from website "connectify.me"
There is a free Lite version and a paid Pro version - I am currently using the Lite version and have just arranged to get the Pro version.
Setup with it is simple and now I can get on the internet with my A101 without having to get a SIM card or drive into town to fing a WiFi hotspot to update my applications.
I live in North Queensland, Australia.
Hope this info is useful.
Cheers, .. demun

Windows 7 (and prior versions, I'm fairly certain) have this functionality built into the network device properties, although it is ad-hoc mode and takes some android juju to get working on your tablet.

hi guys i recently purchased a wi-fi bridge for my dm800 it works perfect on the reciever i can also use my laptop through my hd2 via the wi-fi router app but i would like to connect the wi-fi bridge to the phone if it can be done the model of the wi-fi bridge is vonets vap11g any help please the bridge does not even pick the phone up in the search but as i said my laptop finds it straight away
Methinks it depends on router-type and/or open ports and/or protocols since I messed around with the same problem a lot.
On my VAIO TT it worked nicely until I updated the WIFI-drivers, then it didi not work any more. So I had to go back to the old drivers.
The same with the Alcatel and Thompson-Router/Hubs installed by Austrian Telecom. They had to open some ports and then it worked.
With a Netgear-Router I did not succed at all, although I tried all possible settings. Was very frustrating..............
Hi, at first, sorry for my bad English (Czech Republic).
I have big problem, I 've mobile Nokia C6-00, with Symbian S60 5th OS, and i need connect with my Infinity via Nokia to internet. I"ve tried Joikuspot, but Android isn't support AdHoc. When I had ICS, i connect via Nokia to internet via Bluetooth. In infinity I 've set in Bluetooth setting connect to internet via bluetooth.
Yesterday I installed JB 4.2.1. and this setting, which was in ICS is not in JB! (only if I paired in any device, for example Asus TF300T- there is this setting). Please, have anybody some idea, how i connect to internet? Please, i have tablet without root and i want it in future! Thx
Can't you just run some Wifi Hotspot app/thing on your Nokia, and then connect via WiFi as you would to any router?
I use FoxFi on Samsung S3 and PDANet Tablet on TF700 to connect to the internet via Bluetooth. My JB tablet is rooted but I think you can use PDANet without root.

My Nokia have not any aplication in system. You have to install some application wich do a hotspot, for example JoikuSpot (i thing, that its only one on Symbian).
And Android not support AdHoc.(i think)
Dear All,
I am currently using a Windows Vista based laptop with a Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN wireless card in it with updated drivers. Now whenever I try connect using connectify to make a wireless hotspot it does create a hotspot, but on my android handset I can't find any wifi network in range. Pls suggest a way to reverse tether my phone with my pc without the need of rooting the phone. I am currently using a Android v4.0.I am using internet through a USB Data Card.
Thanx All.

your going to have to root it to be able to tether pc to your phone or phone to pc.
use "pda net+" for usb theathring wifi hot spot as wel as bluetooth theathring.
There's another app called FoxFi that claims to handle wifi tether w/out root. But I've never used it ,and i'm not sure if it works to tether in either direction, but worth a quick look .... (can't post a link cuz i'm not >10 posts yet)
Hello.
I own a Lenovo Tab 2 A7-10F with stock 5.0 lollipop and root access.
I'm trying to use 3G on my tablet. It does not have a mobile module nor does have any kernel modules for it.
My first idea was to simply buy a 3G dongle and plug it in. People said it will work automatically. Unfortunately, my dongle is Huawei E1752 and it doesn't.
The only way I get 3G to connect is using PPP Widget 2. But no apps detect the Internet connection anyway. The only way I found is to have fake wifi. But it requires XPosed framework, which is not available for my tablet.
So I tried sharing 3G from my Symbian phone. JoikuSpot works fine, but it turns out Android doesn't work with ad-hoc networks :/
Every solution I found relies on having kernel modules loaded through a custom ROM. Unfortunately, there are no ROMs that I can find for my tablet.
I'm asking for help finding a solution to get mobile Internet on this tablet.
I bought a straight talk Samsung galaxy j7 sky pro and can't find the hotspot if it even has one. So I installed a hotspot from the Google play store and it says I have to root before it can be used with this phone. Can someone please tell me what that is and how to fo it? I tried looking it up on Google but I couldn't make heads or tails of it.
This works
I have this phone for straight talk and i use PDAnet for android. If you have a laptop with hotspot capabilities, you can use PDAnet on there for a USB tether. The other alternative that might work for you ( did not work for me due to some dumb error) is FoxFi. FoxFi is compatible with PDAnet too. You can use a Bluetooth connection too for some devices.
Hope it works!
What does it matter what "hotspot" capabilities you have on any other device other than a standard wifi connection? And pdanet is used on the pc or other device? What exactly turns wifi hotspot feature on on this phone according to your solution?
So I was able to connect my windows laptop to the network but not my other android phone. I have PdaNet installed on it too. So if anyone has any tips on how to get android to Android to work with this phone pls advise. I'm using the j7 Sky Pro for straight talk

I also have a J7 sky pro and have noticed when trying to connect to a pdanet hot spot (using wifi direct hotspot on another device and connecting to it with the J7) that some devices have communication issues that are hit or miss. My wife has the galaxy note 9. When hers is used as the wifi direct hot spot it will connect to the network using WPS but pdanet bugs out or something. After wps process finishes it says "WPS complete, Waiting for wifi connection. It remains stalled out there. However I did manage to get it to sucessfully connect to it ONCE (1 out of about 400 attempts) I did manage to get it to connect outside of pdanet for internet connection by using the wifi connection settings and connecting to the network there but also hit the advanced options and then set the proxy to manual then used 192.168.49.1 as the proxy address & port 8000. that allowed me to gain internet with the j7. As i said though it so far has just been with the Note 9. A friend with an S9 set his up and I could connect to it just fine. So I don't know if it is pdanet actually nerking out and having issues or if it is the communication between the devices. If you are trying to use your J7 as the hotspot set it up as wifi direct instead of the foxfi hotspot then use connect to pdanet hotspot from the other device to connect to the the J7
