Now, when I say WiFi tether, I don't mean using my phone as a hotspot to let people use my data.
I want to be able to tether my wifi connection. Let's say I'm connected to my home wifi, I want to tether that connection.
I want to do this because I just ordered a Karma hotspot ( https://yourkarma.com/ ) and sometimes, I'll want to let others use the data I bought.
I know I saw something like this a while back, but I can't remember what it was...
Thanks in advance!

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.
what's up guys, I got my prime few weeks ago and I wanted to know if I can connect my evo phone to my prime to be able to use the internet on the go without root. so if I'm on the road or somewhere without wifi I can use my phones connection. I know some phones allow this to be done by Bluetooth connection but I have not been able to fig it out.
any help will be great!!
If your phone has hotspot feature than yes you can.
Also this is TF101 section, there's a Prime section.
You need to use the phone as a Wifi hotspot so it behaves like a normal router cresting a Wifi network your Transformer can connect to. Usually this is built in (take a look into settings - wireless and networks, is there an entry for it? If not, then your carrier has disabled it. If you want to get it anyway, you'll need to root the phone and install the app Wireless tether for root users which works absolutely fine.)
Ok, I've been looking around for a couple hours now but people aren't understanding my question/dilemma
I am currently using a goWIFI connection on my tablet, I'm only allowed to login with one device at a time. So I am trying to share my xoom's wifi, not data connection with my phone so they can both be using the same wifi connection
I do not want to share a data connection with my phone, I want to share the wifi connection with my phone. How can I do this? FoxFI only seems to share data connections.

And you have tried putting your tablet in airplane mode to shutoff you mobile data connection?
Are ypu on a custom ROM? I have never tried it but some seem to offer turning your tablet into a portable wifi connection, might be the backdoor to tether your phone that you need
I dont have a data plan right nnonow for my tablet, its only running on wifi as it is. I have already disabled mobile data in settings. I am running EOS 3 build 134.
I am just looking to share the current wifi connection instead of a data connection.
Hello,
I marked this post as fast answer because I have no internet by the end of tomorrow.
I have an android phone and an android tablet, both can receive WI-FI over an public wifi hotspot "freewifi" (In france).
I want to tether that public hotspot over wifi because the signal is only in the garden, so I can use it in home.
My android phone can only tether 3G/4G signals and my tablet can't tether since the wifi is only activated to receive the signal.
I can put a wifi key in my phone or tablet but I don't think that's possible that way.
Basically, what I want to do is a WiFi repeater but with my phone or tablet to enjoy the wifi in the house.
Thank you for all answers.
the only way i could think of this actually working and this is a big maybe. is using an OTG cable from your phone to an external usb wifi. IF your device supports such things. and if thats even able to bridge the connection from one to the other.. Would have easier time using an old laptop(still will need a 2nd wifi card/or usb wifi adapter) or something in this case honestly or just pickup a wifi repeater/range booster. Also some wireless routers do allow you to use it as a repeater.
Thank you, I will try that.
I found an android app named "fqrouter2" that repeats the wifi signal, needs root, gotta try that.
Hello all, I am pretty new to all this rooted phone stuff. I have a question for thought I would like to know if it's possible to have a work-around or sorts for being able to use a wifi signal for data, while on the line mind you, to hotspot my laptop. So is it possible to use wifi along with my hotspot? I just want to know if so I will get to work figuring it out right away? Thank you all for your time, effort and consideration in this matter.
You cannot use wifi and hotspot at the same time on any phone. The hotspot uses the wifi radio to transmit a wifi signal for other devices to connect to, it cannot go both ways.
