Hello,
I have a rooted Thunderbolt (stock rom), and I use the 4G on it to tether to both my Windows 7 PC and also my Roku player. I use the app "Android Tether" on my TB. I'd now like to use my PSP's WiFi capabilities to connect the two as well.
But I'm having some trouble. When I go into "Network Settings" on the PSP, I scan for access points. It DOES find the Android Tether network, but it's grayed out, and under the "Security" column is says "not supported." I have tried switching to both ad hoc mode AND infrastructure mode, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Is there any way around this?
You may have to do it without the security settings in place on the tether side.

Try wireless tether beta it works good

The PSP doesn't support a certain type of WPA encryption. WEP should work fine. The PSP just didn't have the hardware for newer WPA connections.

That's what I was thinking and that's why I suggested disabling it just to see if it works.

It does, it's just kinda touch-and-go. I think WPA-TKIP connections works, but not WPA-AES or something like that. WEP is much simpler. I finally just gave up on tethering to it at all.

You could just download wireless tether from the market. Works just as well.
I'd upload it for you but I'm not at home. If its not done by the time I get home, I will.

Wifi Tether is adhoc whereas the wireless tethering app acts like a real wifi hotspot connection.

May I ask what's the difference?
And will verizon be able to tell the difference (or whether I am tethering)? I'll mostly using for light surfing (web browsing, emails). Not interesting in watching TV over 4G.
Good question, I love the tether feature and only use it once in a while but when I need it I need it

Ad-hoc is computer to computer where as the wifi hotspot app handles connections like a real router. I believe this to be the case anyway. So, for example, when I was in Las Vegas I tried to set my laptop to stream videos to my xbox through Windows Media Center. I fired up my trusty droid thinking WiFi tether would help me out. But, it set-up an ad-hoc network and WMC will not stream to extenders over ad-hoc. I was kinda bummed.

The experimental ones in the website for it are infrastructure I think. The ones in market didn't work for me

I know that generally Android does not like connect to ad-hoc wifi but was hoping against hope that someone with an Eee Pad can check if that is still the case?
I'm definitely getting one once i can get my molesty hands on some stock somewhere, but when out and about, my trusty Treo Pro only creates an ad-hoc wifi network via wmwifirouter (works excellent with other portable wifi devices i have).
well, I'm using Barnacle with a rooted Atrix 4G and the transformer can't connect to the ad hoc network.
I can't connect my Transformer to my HTC Hero running an ad-hoc WiFi hotspot. However, it works fine over bluetooth....

Ah ha, at least bluetooth tethering works. At least that's an option i have. Thanks for checking guys.
Argh! Does this mean I can't use the 'Wifi Hotspot' app built into my phone (DHD) to share its 3G connection with my Transformer whilst I'm out and about?
Because I was kind of relying on that.
I may have to cancel my pre-order :-(

It's an Android issue in general, nothing specific to the Transformer specifically. The latest wifi tether for root users i think now does Infrastructure mode and also bluetooth tethers as well.

You can tether it through Bluetooth, which is better IMO. Every time I use Wifi Hotspot on my N1, I start having crashes and memory issues. I had rather use BT for this.

I don't know about that particular phone, but if the hotspot is infrastructure mode (like what is built into Froyo), the TF will be able to connect to it and use it. If it is Ad Hoc, then there will be trouble, Android in general does not support connecting to Ad Hoc (could have changed in Honeycomb now, I but I don't think so). I've used my TF with the Infrastructure hotspot on my Optimus phone, for example, it works fine. Figure out what kind of hotspot your phone does.

On Windows Mobile, use wmwifirouter and choose the bluetooth tethering option. See if that works.
Someone a few posts up mentioned that he's tethering his TF via bluetooth to his Android phone.
It definetely depends on the phone. wireless tether to my buddy's HTC Evo worked yet didnt with my HTC Hero. Luckily, the bluetooth does work exceptionally well so theres no worries!

I installed the trial of Wmwifirouter, but the bluetooth tether option is grayed out. Maybe a limitation of the trial?
I just can't believe that there isn't a better solution for this. Surely there is a utility or a workaround for those of us in tethering hell!!! GahhhH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would this be feasible on a honeycomb device?

has anyone tried to tether with the EVO?
I saw a patch for another tablet somewhere to enable ad-hoc wifi. it was a zip for cwm, but most definitely it was built for earlier android version. i'll look for it nonetheless and report back.

Just got my Nexus S 4G, running it 100% stock and not sure if I will ever root/ROM it yet. I can tether fine using built-in Wifi hotspot. As we know, the tether kills 4G and forces 3G when active.
I only actually have 3G at my house, so I can't test any other methods, but I am wondering if any other tethering tools will allow 4G tether? For example, Barnacle wifi or PDAnet USB... tools I've used in the past on rooted phones. And if either of these methods does work for 4G tethering... is root required? Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has 4G available nearby and has tested these methods on rooted/unrooted phones.
Thanks!

Wifi tether for root users works, but it creates an ad-hoc network, so you can't connect with another android device. A laptop will be able to connect though

You can root and leave everything else stock. Rooting on this phone is trivial.
Non-root tether apps like Pdanet and EasyTether all run as regular apps on the phone. If running a normal app like Pandora preserves 4g status, then the 4g status should remain with those as well.
As for speed, you can look at a comparison that someone ran a few days ago across the popular USB tether apps:

using the same wireless tether app, but don't worry i figured out the answer. Most androids tether thru adhoc but for some reason the evo is different and uses infrastructure mode, thats why my xoom can't pick up the nexus s signal but it can from the evo.

That's not entirely correct. Most newer phones have the capability to create an infrastructure network. It was more hit or miss on older phones.
The built in hotspot app does create an infrastructure network on the Nexus S. The 3rd party wifi tethering app creates an ad-hoc network though on the Nexus S for some reason. Unfortunately the built in tethering doesn't utilize the wimax radio currently.
The hardware on the nexus s does support creating an infrastructure network though, so I don't know why the wifi tethering app is creating an ad-hoc network if it has the capability to do infrastructure.

Maybe shoot the dev an email. The hardware supports infrastructure and the AP can clearly do it. It may be a simple error in logic preventing the Nexus s from being detected as a device capable of infrastructure.

The movies app won't work on rooted devices. This is problematic if you use your tablet and the.movies app for renting movies.

Well as the title says, is it possible to connect the nexus to an ad hoc connection if yes, how?
I create one on my laptop (router not working, using broadband meanwhile), network it's working because my iPod is able to see the network and to connect but I,m not able to see the network on the Nexus S.
Is it possible to connect to an ad hoc connection on android? Am I missing something to be able to connect to this network?

Android doesn't support this yet. Get wifi analyzer and check it out. It can see the network, but it can't connect.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues with the Wifi Tether app by Treve Mod? I CAN NOT use the tethering on my windows 8 laptop, but it works just fine with the 7 one. They are the same computers. My dad has the Note 2 and he uses the same app, and I can connect to his, and it will work fine. I don't know if it's a setting inside the app that is messed up on my phone, or what. Thanks, any recommendations will help.
I use it and don't have any major issues but you need specific settings in it to get infrastructure mode to work. Otherwise it just does ad hoc which may not work on some devices that won't support ad hoc wireless networks such as other phone or tablets. I will check my settings tomorrow and report back.
