[Q] Using 3G and Wifi simultaneously

I have a Samsung i5800 and would like to use my data plan to use the Internet at home.
I tried setting my router Dlink DIR600 (ddwrt) to connect the phone but for some reason the Dlink is unable to connect to the Adroc network generated by android-wifi-tether.
So I thought to make the phone connect to the Dlink and to make the computers to route the internet through the android but the android does not allow the Wifi and 3G running at the same time.
Is this possible?

no!!!!!!!!

you cant link your router to your phone to boost the signal per say. What you can do is just a simple android tether to the devices you want to use at your home

You can't do that on your Android phone.

Thank you.

Wifi connection problem

Hi all
I rooted my phone with Paranoid Android 3+, now i can't connect to Wifi nor create a Wifi hotspot.
It can search and find all the available Wifi hotspots, save them but with no Internet access.
As for creating a Wifi hotspot, my computer shows that there's network by asking me to choose between a home or public network, thereafter there's nothing.
Please help!

[Q] How to connect to ad-hoc wifi connection

Hi
Can anyone please tell how to connect to ad-hoc network? I have used many ROMs(Stock ICS, JB leak1 and leak3, mokee, pacman, miui) but not able to connect to ad-hoc network in any ROM. In stock GB I was able to connect to ad-hoc wifi. I also connected to ad-hoc connection in JB leak a couple of time, but not able to connect every time. The behavior for ad-hoc connection is somewhat strange, some times phone just keep on "obtaining ip address" step and some time it connects to the network but internet connectivity lost after few minutes, and some times it does not find the ad-hoc connection at all. It does show other wifi connections from my neighbourhood but It does not show my ad-hoc wifi connection.
If anyone has faced such issue, then please help.
Thanks in advance for your help

Or you can use Connectify

I have "data card" to access internet and the lite version of connectify does not support the sharing of internet connection using "data card". is there any way other way I can share my laptop's internet connection with my phone?
BTW, is there any issue with our device/Roms to connect to ad-hoc wifi connection?

[Q] Can't connect to Open WiFi hotspots

Hi All,
I have to OTA KitKat 4.4.4. running on my Nexus 5 and I can't connect to any Open WiFi hotspots.
That is ones that do not have any security set.
I have even not been able to connect to Netgear DGN1000 with it's OOTB settings of SSID: NETGEAR and no security.
Any thoughts...

Are you getting an error message? Do these open networks perhaps have MAC ID filtering?

No error message, and MAC filtering should not be on where I first tried as it was a public wifi hotspot.
I have since removed all stored profiles and then re-booted, as per instructions elsewhere. Since then I can connect to the guest network on my dd-wrt powered router, so I think that have helped.
Not been near a public wifi hotspot since, will report back when I do.
