I use Splashtop on my Asus Infinity TF-700 to remotely connect to my PC at the office. When I use Wifi, it works great.
However, whenever I try to tether the tablet to my Galaxy Nexus, Splashtop kills the hotspot connection and I must reboot the tablet and disable/re-enable hotspot on the GN. I am running AOKP 4.2.1 Build 2.
I say it "kills my hotspot" because while tethered before I starting Splashtop my tethered connection on the tablet works great. As soon as I open Splashtop on the tablet, my internet connection on the tablet is killed. Splashtop fails to remotely connect to my PC and no other apps can connect.
I've switching my connection from LTE to 3G and it has no effect. I contacted Splashtop support and they say that my tether probably cannot support the bandwidth, but I responded that I am able to get 7-11 MBPS on the tablet over the tether using LTE, streaming YouTubeHD. They basically have no answers and told me I should try upgrading to Android 4.2.2.
Anyone else here use Splashtop tethered thru your GN? Any ideas?
No splashtop cannot sustain connection over tethering to 3G/LTE. Splashtop 2 is a lot more effective but I still doubt you will have the sustained bandwidth.
Splashtop demands almost 100% of whatever it is connected to. It will effectively kill your router for other connections once it has taken hold.

Is there a way to use my Droid Eris as a wireless gateway/router?
The idea is to tether the Eris to a computer with a wired connection via USB and connect devices to the phone so they use the wired (faster) connection speed versus the cellular network.
As an example, someone might be stuck in a hotel that, miraculously, only provides wired internet access, and wants to watch HD movies over the network.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You could do that with the computer and bypass the phone altogether, assuming your laptop has wireless and almost all modern ones do.

Thanks for the response, I should have clarified:
The wired computer in question is running Windows XP with no Bluetooth capability and ICS locked down.
I have reserved admin rights (i.e. install, add new network connections) with a few core functions disabled (creating/joining home or office networks).
This may very well be a no-win situation, but I am wondering if the "heavy" lifting (i.e. connection bridging) could be done by the Eris.
Before I had my Charge, I had an Imagio running WinMo 6.5. On that phone I ran an app called WiFi Router to share my Verizon Internet. The cool thing was that my phone cold also connect to my home Belkin router and as long as every other device was on the same network, they would all see the Internet via the Belkin (even the wired devices).
Now I have my Charge rooted and I am running Barnacle with no problems. But to share my Internet with all of my devices, I have to have a PC with a WiFi card and a Wired NIC then run ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)... yuck!
Is there any way I can share my Charge's Internet the same way I did on my Windows phone?
If there were a way to have the WiFi running at the same time as Barnacle, it might work as I need/want.
Hey all,
I have an unrooted Asus Eee Pad Transformer, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is possible to tether the internet from my laptop to my Transformer.
I've plugged it into my laptop, and clicked tether, but do not seem to get any internet connection. Is anyone able to help?
Thanks
Rob
It is possible but you need additional software on your laptop or you need to enable ICS (Internet connection sharing) which often has mixed results.
It also depends on how your laptop is connecting to the internet. If your laptop has a wired connection to the net then your wifi will offer the hotspot connection for your other wireless devices such as the TF'er. I've used Connectify before which worked well although I did need to manually start the connection after each reboot even though it was in the startup programs.
Think I've decided it's my university internet connection. I have a wired connection, but unable to make a wifi hotspot as I'm only allowed one I.P address blah blah, so complete and utter ball ache if you ask. May give them a ring!
I'm in the same situation as you are. No wifi and only one IP.
Use Connectify on laptop. Works for me. No prolem with 1 IP becouse it will make it's own subnet.
Other option is to use USB-rj45 dongle. Had been explaned somewhere on this forum.
Why not use a WiFi router and mirror the IP address if you are only going to use one at a time.
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.

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.
Basically my laptop is mediocre and refuses to connect to my schools wifi. My Nexus 4 does connect to my schools wifi.
I tethered a data connection from my N4 to my laptop and it works fine but it sucks a lot of data. Is there a way I can tether WiFi (not mobile data) to my laptop from my N4?
I try and use the built-in tether but it forces itself onto my data plan in order to tether, I want to stay on my wifi.
Try this:

fqrouter2 is the solution
Use fqrouter2 for rooted Android devices and you have a perfectly working WiFi Repeater (available free in Google Play Store)
