I'm using my OPO, unlocked/rooted/latest stock rom, as our office phone. It's connected to a desktop phone via bluetooth. Problem is, when we get calls, the bluetooth interferes with the connection to the wifi extender, and the extender loses connection. I want to use 5ghz hotspot on the OPO, but even though I can select it when creating the hotspot, it doesn't really broadcast in 5ghz. It's still 2.4ghz. I can verify with wifi analyzer app on another device.
Anyone else get 5ghz tethering working? How about another rom, is 5ghz tethering working on other roms?

Hey, so I just picked this up but I can't connect to 3G or Wifi?
Have you gone to the settings menu and wireless, turned on wifi, and then selected a network? Are you using your own wifi? Is there wifi available where you are? Is there 3G available where you are?
We need to know the steps you've tried so we can help you.
Wifi - it tells me it is connected, but cannot browse unless I disconnect wifi when it happily connects using 3G. I can check the router and it has the Samsung's MAC address on its list of connected devices. Anyone else having trouble with wifi?

Someone else was having problems with 5ghz vs. 2.4ghz in their router. Are you broadcasting wireless-N at 5ghz? Have you tried rebooting the router, and a battery pull on your phone?
I don't think I am broadcasting at 5GHz - what should I be broadcasting at? Yuck, I turned off wireless-N so it is only broadcasting b/g and now it works...
Weird - now I turned wireless N on too so the router is broadcasting a/n-b/g and everything is happy. I actually specifically turned *on* 5Ghz/2.4Ghz too so it has both (Airport Extreme router) that it will talk and the router tells me that the Captivate is talking 802.11b/g/n and now the phone is happy. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction - it was driving me nuts because I could see the wifi at Starbucks!

Hi guys,
installed wifi tether from google code.
it worked, however, noticed a couple things.
1. After turning off wifi tether, I'm still able to detect the adhoc wireless network. (Concerned about battery drain)
2. When having the wifi tether running, it isn't an access point, but an ad hoc network.
Anyone else having these issues? Known issues?
same here
I'm having the same issue basically. My laptop sees the "Androidtether" but it wont connect. It did the same thing with usb tethering too.
Installed Pdanet and it works off and on. I'm in a 4g city...frustrating that I can't get those sweet speeds over to my computer! haha
I am having same issue..anyone have any ideas? I wish it came up as a reg wireless connection instead of the ad hoc network....the stock wifi hotspot comes up correctly

Technically, the SamChg stock WiFi Hotspot is coming up incorrectly as an Infrastructure connection, and the android-wifi-tether app is coming up correctly as an "Ad-Hoc" connection.
It's just not "convenient" for us that the Google android-wifi-tether app only comes up in ad-hoc mode.
From Wikipedia: A wireless ad hoc network is a decentralized type of wireless network. The network is ad hoc because it does not rely on a preexisting infrastructure, such as routers in wired networks or access points in managed (infrastructure) wireless networks.
Personally, I can't think of anything more "decentralized" than a mobile phone.
As far as I know, the latest version found here (3.0-pre14) works, and it has infrastructure mode. Just use the Samsung Fascinate option when setting (Device-Profile) it up and it should work.
wow thanks..that worked beautifully...appreciate it
Is it possible for me to share a wifi connection I'm connected to with other phones/devices? Whether it be via bluetooth or wifi.
Please fix your question. Apart from the Bluetooth part, your basically asking if you can share WiFi via WiFi. Can't the other devices be connected to the WiFi source? Or if you want them to connect to the WiFi from your device, all you need to do is to get a WiFi hotspot app from the market.
did anyone tried and tested while connected to a wifi then you activated wifi hot-spot? it always says "Turn off wifi to use wifi hot-spot" any one have ideas on these on how to work both while connected to a wifi then activated wifi hot-spot because hot-spot only works with mobile data network.
Its not possible
A mobile can either recieve wifi or wifi hotspot
This may help u:thumbup:
Hit thanks if i helped

Wifi hot spot means to broadcasting capability, i.e in case of a router it has hotspot which broadcast the network. router only connects devices to it's network or gateway. router dont use this wifi to get connected to another network. because it is impossible to do broadcasting and also to receive another broadcast from another device using only one gateway.
So if you are connected to a network using wifi then how you will be able to broadcast or create a wifi hotspot??
May be I made you understood..
Looking for a router that will use my phones mobile hotspot as its internet connection.
I.e I turn on wifi tether router hotspot, router connects to it and shares internet with all devices.
Only reason I want this is because I use my phone as broadband but don't want to turn it on and off to print or have a separate router just for a printer
