I want to be able to tether my university wifi from my phone to my PS vita. My PS vita can not connect to WPA2 Enterprise wifi connections that my university offers. I've read about "connectify" and it's exactly what I need but I do not have a laptop just my phone and a tablet. I've tried "wifi tether" and "wireless wifi tether" and all they do it's tether my phones data connection (I only have 2 gbs) I want to be able to create a wifi hot spot using the university wifi from my phone or tablet.

what i want to do is to use an external wifi connection that my android phone is receiving, on my pc. in other words, the phone would work as a wifi adapter for the pc (because i dont have one in my pc). i tried usb tethering, but it lets u use only 2g/3g connection, not wifi.
any app which can do this?
Hmm normally it should work with wifi too.
Try to deactivate 3g while you're tethering.
Otherwise try apps like pdanet or another one but I forgot the name.

your talking about reverse tethering and yes flussen is right just turn of mobile networks and it should work and ive seen this done using wired tether 1.4 from google.
ok, it works with data connection turned off.
Hi,
I would like to turn my Transformer into a secure Wi-Fi hotspot to share the Internet with other mobile devices. I know that such a program exists for Windows 7, it is called connectify. The purpose is to use my Transformer for example in an hotel , so my mobile phone could connect via Wifi to the Internet via my Transformer and so avoiding to have to pay another fee for using Wifi for my phone.
Thanks for help.

If you go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Tethering & Portable Hotspot, > Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot you can enable this feature here, providing that you already have an existing internet connection. Then go to Configure Wi-Fi hotspot to configure the security settings. (Android Version 3.2)
"enable wifi hotspot" is grey out and can't be chosen.

No, it doesn't work. When I am enabling portable Wi-fi Hotspot, I don't have anymore an internet connection. You can't enable both: portable Wifi-hotspot and " simple" wifi. If you try to enable Wifi, you loose the portable Wifi-hotspot.

I'm not sure that the antenna can handle taking in wifi and dishing it out at the same time.
I just tried doing a backwards bluetooth tether, but with the built in tools I can't tell my phone to use my Transformer for internet, only the other way around. But, you could just do that, put your phone on the hotel wifi and tether from there.

Yes, I know you can share your 3G network from your phone to your Asus via WiFi but it is not what I am looking for.

I have a rooted Samsung Droid Charge and have been enjoying wireless tether programs for awhile. I am still grandfathered in an unlimited data plan with Verizon so it's great. I don't pay for cable internet anymore and 4G is faster than what I was getting.
The only problem was I lost my Wireless network that I enjoyed with cable internet and wireless router and the benefits that come with it (DLNA server, print server etc). Also not all my devices (namely PS3) recognize ad hoc networks (although I did find a wireless tether program that the PS3 recognized)
Basically I want my wireless network back and not have to tether my phone every time to each device.
So I finally found a SOLUTION! The GR 1733 Sapido router. Supposedly you can USB tether or wireless tether your smartphone to it and I can get my wireless network back. Only problems some people are successful and talk about how easy it is, where I am having problems setting it up. I want to either USB tether or wireless tether. When I set to wirelessly tether the SAPIDO router recognizes my Smartphones network but when apply the settings the Sapido router disappears from available networks.
Has anyone found any solution to create a wireless network using whatever equipment and the Droid Charge for internet?
Use Wifi Tether 3.0 pre12, set the device profile to Fascinate, and set the setup method to Softap for Samsung. It works in infrastructure mode then instead of ad-hoc so it looks just like a wireless router.

It has like no range, though.
Thanks!

I have wifi tehter and I am able to use it to make it look like a wireless router. The problem is I want to use a wireless router! LOL. I want to be able to print wirelessly and access my DLNA server on my PS3 etc. Is there a way to do this with that?

PDANet is a USB tether program. It's a bit expensive though for what it does. I would recommend buying it and then trying it instantly, and if it doesn't work get a refund.

In the past i used PDANet but went to opengarden for the wireless tether functionality and then to wifi tether because it allowed me to connect to my PS3.
The only problem with PDANet is you need to tether to a computer with the software. I want to tether to a router so I can have a wireless network. Wireless Print, DNLA servers etc.
Either A:
Internet Connection Sharing from a computer connected to phone either with wifi or usb tether, then out of the computer and into your router.
Or B:
Additional router, configured as wifi client or bridge to phone, into your main router. Phone must be set up in infrastructure for this to work.

I would more than likely go with A: I use WIFI tether from my Samsung Droid Charge to connect my computer to the internet. I then connect a wireless router to my computer via USB or Ethernet cable? Then enable Internet Connection Sharing.
Connect wan port of router to laptop ethernet.
Enable ICS.
the ethernet port on laptop will provide internet to whatever is connected to that port as long as you are getting wifi from phone.
Not hard, but laptop won't be on the same network as stuff connected to router, so I dunno if you can share files from the laptop.
There are many ICS guides out there.

Just buy a wifi bridge and be done with it.
I am looking for an app that incan create a WiFi hotspot WHEN I am on WiFi. For example, if I'm on an aircraft and there is WiFi, I want to connect to it then create a hotspot so my other devices can tetjer to my connection (because you only are allowed one connection and its a paid service called GoGo).
So whenever im on a secure wifi connection I want to be able to create a further sub hotspot.
There's an app for my PC called Mhotspot which does exactly this. But the Android version just kills my WiFi and activates the in built Mobile Hotspot, which is not what I want.
Anyone?

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone knows of an Android app that will allow me to share the lan connection on my tablet via wifi?
Have looked at lots of hotspot type apps but the vast majority are simple shortcuts to an exisiting wifi hotspot function that shares the mobile data connection.
Seems daft to me that I have lan and wifi on my tablet but I'm looking at an ap to connect my other devices!
Thanks

I didnt understand what u said
If u want to share ur tab net to other use wifi hotspot
If u have wifi connection u can connect via wifi

Are you trying to tether your data connection or do you mean using your tablet as a hub for an existing wifi connection?
What phone do you have?
What carrier?
Did you root your phone?
Have you flashed a new ROM?
Sorry but you were rather vague in your post.

Ok thanks. To clarify my tablet (not phone and therefore no carrier involved) has both ethernet and wifi I would like to use the ethernet to connect to my network/internet and then broadcast that connection via wifi.
This is exactly the same thing a normal wifi hotspot does except it broadcasts the mobile data connection as opposed to a wired connection.
The tablet has been flashed with Tims 6 ROM
Don't now if it's possible. On phone it;s not possible to share be a hotspot when you're on wifi. I guess it uses the same piece of hardware. That might also be the case for you with the LAN.
BTW try talking to this guy :

he had sort of the same question perhaps he figured it out?
edit: This is also you i now see.. never mind

How do you have your tablet connected to the internet, wireless or wired? If wired, how did you do that? If it's wireless, you're just using your tablet as a signal booster.
What i'm confused on is if you connected your tablet wireless and want to connect other devices to your tablet's "wifi" which in essence is wifi, why can't that device connect to the same internet as your tablet?
I think we're all a bit confused on what you're trying to accomplish.
Sorry folks struggling here with what you don't get (not being smart just confused)
I have an Android tablet that has both wifi and an ethernet connection, I connect to my network via ethernet and want to use that connection to then create a wifi hotspot for my other devices to connect to.
I already do this with my win7 laptop and am looking for an app to do the same on the tablet.
If my terminology is correct I need to bridge the lan connection to the wifi adapter?
