OK so I know this is off topic a little for XDA but google has failed me and I know there r plenty of cool people here who can easily awnser my question.
So I got me cable shut off. I need to use my hotspot to run the net on my PC. My PC does not have built in WiFi. I have a Belkin 600N dual band router and I want to know if it is possible to make it receive a single as opposed to generating one. I DMT know jack about networking terms so I'm not sure what to call what I need and I think that's y google has failed me. Plz help ASAP I really need my PC up today. Thanks guys.

Your post is a little jumbled, but it seems like you're asking if your PC can receive a wifi signal even if it doesn't have built-in wifi. The answer is simply no. You can go to the store and snag a little wifi dongle or something like that and install the software to make it pick up a signal, but as is... it's not gonna pick up anything. Hope that helps.

WHOA!!! Thanks for the heads up!!!!!
LOL @ phinnaeus
lol, yeah I tested this out the other night, it's pretty good. I don't know if it works with 4G yet though.
Is there any way that these tools can use the Access point mode rather than the AdHoc mode? I don't know much about how they are constructed, but my work computer doesn't allow Adhoc connections. Or is there another workaround I am not aware of?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

So I should be able to just plug the phone in and tether away? Sorry, I am new to this, and have never tethered before. I have CoNcast, but it would be nice to be able to take my laptop with me, and use it while out and about.
Does the tethering option have the built-in wpa2 encryption? As I am assuming that is a security thing - again new to all this.

If you use wifi-tethering, then you might not even need to plug in... the only reason to plug in would be to feed your phone power, rather than depleting it uber fast while tethering.
wired-tethering (the other kind) is also built in, but I can't tell you how to do it. I always use wifi (so I can "enable" multiple devices simultaneously)

Ohhh, Ok - so I don't have to plug it in - I thought I had to. So I should be able to just (for example) take it to the park on my lunch break, and be able to set the phone next to my laptop and get connected...?
Sorry for all the questions, just curious how this works - as I'd like to take advantage of it. Thx!

Wireless tether for NS4G
I just rooted my wife's and her mom's NS4G that i got them, installed wireless tether app just like i did on my evo, but the NS4G will only let me setup a ad-hoc connection, no option for wpa2 setup?
any Thoughts on what i'm doing wrong?
Reviving a thread from December lol
With the wireless tether app ad-hoc is the only method supported on the nexus s. It does not do infrastructure mode like your EVO did. If you use the native tethering app it will work in infrastructure mode it will not work with 4g though only 3g.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078213
Download the "tethering fix for Android 2.3.5 ROMs" onto the phone and flash via clockwork recovery. This will enable the built in tethering app (accessible from settings>tethering and portable hotspot) which will allow infrastructure mode.
Hope I helped
what i want
well let me describe what i want.
i am in hostel and my room don't get wifi signals but room next to me get upto medium i wanted to use my friends android phone and connect it to wifi and then use tethering to connect my phone to his.
What happened
when i connect to tethering it disconnected my friend's wifi and switched to mobile data.
can any one tell me any way to solve this problem
How can it be possible that your friend room next to yours is receving medium wifi signals and you aren't even receiving a single bar. Is your wall made of lead?
Anyways I don't get it. You can't use wifi and tether at same time.

At least on linux, windows using connectify, and some android phones (unluckily a little minority of them).

It depends on WIFI drivers, for windows you have a list on connectify drivers, for linux usually the Atheros cards are the ones better supported.
Android is more complicate, too many brands, rom versions, Android apis and so on, but some phones hus allows to enable the WIFI hotspot w/o killing the wifi connection. No tricks needed.

HARD FACT:No unrooted phone can do that.
Its a choice brother
Keep the warranty
OR
root, and Get Power features like USB tethering!
The permissions required to USB tether are not avalible to standard user.

I only had goodwill to tell you a fact so you don't trouble so much searching for impossible!
Because if you understand the linux architecture, you would realise it is impossible in current conditions. May be it is possible in next versions but not NOW!
But if you don't want to stop searching!
GO on!

Google has added many security features in kitkat so its not possible without rooting
Is it absolute mandatory that you have to use a USB cable?
A wifi stick with "reverse thetering" would be another possibility.
Edit: Oh just saw abhi0502 was faster with that idea. Uhhhhh....and it needs alo root. Ok forget that, so forget this.
not possible
It wasn't possible in older androids even and kitkat is more secure so no chance without rooting

I don't know how it is in Bangladesh. But generally a Wifi Stick for a Desktop PC is nothing uncommon.

Remember you'll still need root. Good luck!

Android Reverse Tethering for windows users.
Tethering is the ability to surf on your pc using the 3g of your phone
Reverse tethering is the opposite : surf on your phone using the ADSL of your PC. No Wifi or 3G connection required.
This work only for rooted users and for Windows !!!

That is another possibility. He can activate ICS on his PC and then it should also work.
The third option would be a WIFI Dongle and a SoftwareRouter.

Hey guys. Can some one please tell me what i should do on my Nexus to get it to connect to the PS3?
So I've scoured the forums looking for my exact problem but to no avail. I am trying to connect my wifi hotspot to my ps3 to watch netflix basically. I can get the wifi connected from phone to computer with no problem (thats what im using now). However, when i scan my PS3 for wifi signals, the only thing thats comes up are the usual wifi signals from the neioghbors. I've tried all the settings i can find on the web but nothing works, like changing device info to Optimus 2 and softap. I'm using a rooted Nexus with the Wifi tether app. under Settings, Change device, i dont see my phone make or madel. Maybe that has something to do with it. I have no idea... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
A guy who just wants to watch netflix on his stupid ps3

Sorry I should have added that the wifi hotspot that comes with my phone only works if I subscribe to it, adding extra to my bill. It turns on yes but no data is transferred that way.
