I just tried to give my laptop internet access though my Nexus 5 but to my dismay it did not work. I used the Wi-Fi tethering built into Android and it created a hotspot and I was able to connect to it but with limited connectivity. I am able to connect from the laptop but have no internet connection. I have had no problem on previous phones. What could be causing this?
I got my phone through Sprint. Could they somehow be blocking it?

I have my Linksys wrt54gs flashed with ddwrt and it allows me to put the routers wifi into various modes such as client mode and repeater.
Basically I want to have my router connect to my Nexus S (or Panache) wifi hotspot, thereby allowing the devices connected to my router by cable to access the internet.
I had this working for months, then one day the PC on my LAN reported it had no internet access and I haven't been able to get it working again reliably since. The router and phone hotspot will connect, but the phone never seems to want to issue the router an IP, so no internety goodness.
Now the phone not wanting to issue the router an IP problem was there from the beginning. I initially solved it by setting up a static wan ip, gateway, and DNS on the routers wan configuration page. This worked well for months, until suddenly it didn't.
Now I've fiddled with it quite a bit and can sometimes get it working on one phone or the other, but it's never really consistent. It might work now, but if I go out and come back l (or try to switch between phones) getting it to work again can be a real hassle.
Anyone have anything like this setup and working reliably? Enquiring minds want to know.

I think the tethering should work unless your service company charges for tethering
update: No it doesn't work. only runs network signal not wireless. Maybe there should be a way to do that.

This is impossible since the tethering uses 3g internet connection rather than wi-fi, since it is designed for situations when there is no wi-fi connection but there is cellular connection, and you want to browse the internet with your PC. good luck, i maybe wrong!
I have the samsung galaxy victory 4g lte on virgin mobile and I want to use it to tether. I rooted it but no tether app I use is working for me. Does anyone have a working tether on this phone? If not, what are some generic tether apps/ways to get tether working?
Thanks
Well, even though this thread has no replys, I will explain what I ended up doing with the Galaxy Victory:
I originally was trying to get mobile hotspot to work with Victory using whatever app I could. However nothing worked. I then just tried to use PdaNet+ (FoxFi) USB tether and that ended up working with a regular PC. Then I just used the computer (desktop) to broadcast the network using Virtual Router Plus.
So far this has been working, but hopefully I can eventually get the mobile hotspot working directly from the phone. Although I think this might require a new kernal which I have no experience in making/modifying.
you can try easy tether.

Thanks for letting us know what you did. I have the sprint device, but have not tried any tethering apps. Also, the kernel already supports tethering but the stock tethering app and associated framework try to block tethering from another source. Thanks again and If you're interested in some mods check out AndroidForums. There are not a lot of users, but since Virgin, Sprint and US Cellular all sell this phone now hopefully more will join us. Thanks again.
Tether problems
I am using the wifi tether app with the TrevE Mod, with all the settings everyone else seems to be using and I still can't get it to work on my Virgin Mobile Galaxy Victory. Anyone have any ideas or tricks i could use to get it to work?
Hi guys!! I really need help and I'm hoping someone here can help me.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 on Verizon network.
Often times, I turned on my S3's hotspot and have my PC (or Mac) connect to my office PPTP VPN via verizon's hotspot on the S3.
Few days ago, I discovered that this stops working.
I can still get on the internet fine using the hotspot and I can no longer get my VPN working.
Connecting my PC/Mac with a regular wifi network can still get on the VPN just fine so
something is wrong with verizon or my S3.
Just wondering if anyone here is doing the same to get on VPN... and if it is still working.
Thanks!!
Hello everyone, with the problem on my previous thread I decided to wipe the phone and restore it to the rooted L29 ROM. Everything seems to work great except for one thing.
When WiFI Hotspot is activated the 3G/4G doesn't work - Chrome would say "you are offline - your device is offline."
Any insight on how to fix this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Just to clarify, when the hotspot is on. The device connected to the hotspot has internet connectivity. However, the internet ceases to work on my actual phone that is hotspotting
um, aint that supposed to be that way....? since all traffic is router through wifi to the connected devices....just guessing though, ive never tried to use internet connection on my phone while using its wifi hotspot with another device

Nope, before I flashed it I can hotspot my friends while using the internet on the phone. Not anymore
huh, ok.... weird then!
