essenially 2.4ghz is so saturated its causing mousd problem with tethering to the computer. 5ghz is largely empty so id much rather use it but how?
i cant seem to find anyway to do it other than buynig a samsung device.
is there anyway to allow 5ghz tethering?
Hi, Can you please tell me how to do this on a Samsung device? I have a Galaxy S5.
Thanks.

I have a USB 3g modem plugged into HTC magic's USB port. What else I need to do to get Android recognize the 3g modem for web surfing? Any good pointer for the topic?
Thanks!
What the hell?
I dont think thats how it works brother.
it is a 3g device.....why need to connect to a modem?
also it is not a usb host port
lol
You are Asking for USB Host Connectivity which is still not Possible on any Mobile on earth to Adopt a USB modem for Browsing (Technically possible though)

Thanks for the keyword "USB Host Connectivity"! I found lot of people interest in the same area.

i can't believe that. i would think most people would just take the sim card out of the modem and put it in their phone, but that's just me.
modem and phone working on different bands?
if you have a laptop, turn the wifi on to adhoc mode. connect the phone there on the adhoc network.
Probably what you are looking for is wireless tether.

If you are looking to get internet, connect the wifi. But you should have a data plan with your phone, so I doubt what you want to do is to share internet from a usb modem, but I could be crazy.
This post just made what was a really crappy day....better. Thanks to the OP

If you want to turn your mobile phone to wi-fi hotspot, when somebody connects to it he will use your 3G connection to search the web.
But I was wondering is it possible to connect with your phone to wi-fi (router), and then turn your phone to hotspot, and when somebody connects to it to use wifi connection, not 3G.
Can somebody help me, if anything like this is possible or exist?
I don't really know what would be the point on connecting your phone to wifi and then your friend's phone, assuming you both are in the same place, connected to your phone.
Why not just both to the wifi?
I think it's not possible to have wifi hotspot connected to wifi, have you tried though?
If you try and it works then there you go, but i think it's slightly pointless

I'm not aware of any smartphone that makes this possible. The reason for this is the operation of the wifi devices: they're not built to support multiple networks at once. In 3G-wifi-tethering scenario the different networks use separate radios so using both at once is possible and even required for the scenario of using normal telephony functions while moving data through wifi.
Your scenario sounds a bit funny to me as well , why would you do such thing?Working around encryption or something?
I was asking about this beacuse of distance, I can't reach router signal from my room, and i was thinking if this could be a solution. But I didn't expect it's possible, just asked. Thank you anyway
So you'd be using one of the phones as an access point? lol, you should just buy an AP in any computer shop / Amazon for example, they're not too expensive, put it in a place more near your room and you'll have a stronger wi-fi signal

or maybe you buy a powerful antenna for your modem (maybe 10 Db Antenna) so your segnal will be more powerful ??
I know I can buy that but I wanted to do this just for a little experiment
Can you just go to settings and turn3g off

Have you tried usb tethering while connected to wifi..don't know if it'll work, but I'm wondering myself
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
AFAIK its not possible.
I also heard it is one WiFi connection only so you would need some other form of tethering.

It's possible to use usb tethering not with 3g connection but with wifi?
my pc's wifi is dead and i'll hope to find a temporary solution
thanks!

Yes.. this worked for me with the same problem
So, where I work, I have zero bars. I've tried both Tmobile and AT&T sim chips and both are "no service" at my desk. I sit right in the middle of a big metal building.
Also, this building has no wifi at all.
My only other option is ethernet. Do you guys know of any way I can hook an ethernet cable to my S4? Does Android even have the software capability to do this?
Thanks guys. :fingers-crossed:

buy a wifi dongle for your work PC which is connected via ethernet then let your work PC transmit wifi connection to your phone. Not sure if thats legal to do in your office, using a wifi dongle since you need more or less an administrator access to set it up correctly.

Didn't think you could use a dongle that would work like that?
Can you not buy a router and create your own wifi?
The existing LAN you have at your pc, plug into a router, then the router to the pc. Configure an invisible ssid and boom.
Assuming your work will allow you... There may be a security reason why they don't have wifi.

I used to broadcast wifi internet using the built in wlan of a laptop but using a usb internet dongle(the one with a simcard). Forgot the name of the program but if you know how to setup manually it should work as well. Im just assuming you can use those wifi dongles to transmit like a repeater

Get a router and hook it up to your ethernet and make it hidden and secured so only you know it exist and only you can use it.
Nic dongle for S4 SPH-L720
I see them around the i9500. Is there any for the SPH-L720 S4?
You could use something like this. It should work for you. I have a regular USB to Ethernet adapter and it works with my Toshiba tablet and chromebooks. No apps or drivers needed with android. I believe you need android honeycomb or better I think.

Has anyone had trouble with connecting to 5GHz networks with the 2012 GT8010?
I've been unable to. I can see the network but always get authentication issues. This occurred with the original 4.1.2 rooms and now with omnirom after a full reset
My other devices such as a laptop and s4 have no issues...
2.4GHz is just fine even to the same router with the same security settings. Disabling security., dropping g down from ac to a doesn't help nor does switching channel

I have not had any problems personally. I'm running stock not rooted. I have heard other guys having problems though. Sorry I can't help
If you're rooted (or even just have a custom recovery) check here. Turns out that the wrong WiFi config file is being used in US-based units so 5GHz DFS channels won't always work.

thanks. interesting to see if I have issues in those files, but I am actually in the UK in any case.
I tried copying the *mfg* file to *txt* - manufacturing? default perhaps? this had cc=ALL instead of UK, but I figured why not
No difference.....
So followup question - could any UK users post their files from /system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt*

and yes I know the mac code is in there - skip that
Does anyone ever got more than 150 mbps rate ? I mean the connection rate between the tablet and router, not some speed test result. On 5Ghz I get 150, on 2.4GHz no more than 72 mbps. I tried 3 different routers, never got more then 150 mbps, and 60 up/60 down in speed tests.

No, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's intentionally set via the WiFi firmware; the WiFi chip is connected to the Exynos via a 50MHz bus that's 4 bits wide, so your effective thruput wouldn't ever be higher than ~180Mbit/sec anyway.
