I have a usb760 from verizon. I used it when i am on the road with my windows laptop. It give me 3g from verizon. I am wondering if i can connect this to my gtablet? I plug it into the usb port and it lights up green, but doesn't connect. When i use it on my laptop there is software that connects to the verizon network. Can this device work on our tablet?
As far as I know the only USB modem anyone here in the gTab forums have gotten to work with the gTab is a chinese Huawei USB modem.
You can read about that success story here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991342
What most people do is run Wireless Tether or Barnacle Wireless Tether on their android phones and turn it into a wi-fi hotspot. Then connect their gTab to it and off to the internets you go.

I live in uni accomodation, and unfortunately WiFi routers will not work in the rooms.
Is there any way of using my rooted GSM Hero as a USB WiFi Adaptor from my PC?
Ie: share my PC's internet over WiFi using the Hero connected via USB so I can wirelessly connect with stuff like my DSi and PSP.
There's an official Nintendo WiFi USB dongle that does this job, so I'm hoping there's also a way for the Hero to do it. I've used the PDAnet app for my Hero for USB tethering that basically is the exact reverse of what I want (it receives WiFi on the hero, shares it to PC).
Anyone know how to do this?
Wireless tether do the trick?search forums for it
Unless it has been written with a great deal of flexibility in mind, I doubt it. While wifi tether will let the OP connect his handheld consoles to his Hero, I suspect they'll be hard coded to forward this traffic over the GSM interface, whereas what I think the OP is after is the ability to forward the traffic over usb to his PC which I assume has a cabled connection to his uni network.
What s/he needs is simultaneous wifi & usb tethering with the abilty to route between the two. I've not come across anyone doing this before, though it's clearly just a matter of having the right software for the job. Not a trivial exercise to write it, alas.
The best chance would probably be if the author of the wifi tether app is still active & would be interested in adding this functionality to their existing app.
I would say you would have to
Use your hero to create Internet connection
Bridge that connection to wireless card in computer

Once of us has misread the OP. I took the OP's PC to have no wifi connection.
[Edit:] Hmm, I could be mistaken; I'm less certain now.

It's only just occurred to me to ask, why don't wifi routers work? Is it a matter of rules & regulations? Otherwise I'm somewhat confused.
If it is simply a matter that the only equipment you're allowed to connect directly to the network is a PC you register with the sys admins, I'd be inclined to stick a second network card in the PC (assuming your uni connection is via the primary ethernet port) & use this to connect to your (existing?) wifi router which you use purely as a wifi access point. That'd cost you less than a fiver, assuming you already have a wifi router or access point.
I would stick to the rules however. Unless you're sure you know what you're doing they might spot attempts to connect disallowed equipment from the resulting traffic.
you can use the hero as a wifi dongle?im using it now with internet sharing on and just connected to wifi?
Ok here is a question my brother asked me so here it is " can you tether a ps2 and a nintendo ds " so can you tether them
Droid Eris
Plainjane1 with ota 2.1
and evil Eris 2.0.1
Tether them to the Eris?
You can wireless tether the Nintendo DS if you are a rooted user. You cannot tether to the PS2 unless there is a wireless adaptor for the PS2 that I don't know about.
Oh god I never even thought about tethering a DS... yesssssssssssssssssssss
no.
the ds (either one of the 3 iterations) do NOT support ad-hoc networking.
the ps2 does. but you'll need to hook it up a certain way.
first you need a laptop (or any computer, laptops just make it all portable) and a "CAT 5E Crossover Cable" radioshack has them,... I have not had much luck looking anywhere else. if I remember it was like 13 bucks for a 9 footer or something)
1. either plug your phone into your pc for wired tethering, or just use wifi tethering
2. make sure you have a solid connection.
3. plug the crossover cable into your pc's ethernet port and then into your PS2's
4. go into network/connection settings, and go to change adapter settings
5. bridge your phone's connection to your LAN port.
you now have internet on your PS2
I used to do this when I didnt have a long enough cable for the 360 that was in the other room. just plug in my laptop, get it on wifi, and bridge. no need to buy that ridiculously priced add-on.
now, if you have an extra router around, you MIGHT MIGHT MIGHT be able to actually plug that crossover cable from your computer into the router as if it were any other internet connection, then just proceed to set up the router as usual. you might be able to put out a wifi connection for the DS. it shouldn't be an ad-hoc network that way, so the DS MIGHT recognize it. I have never tried it myself.
my biggest bum about it all is that I hae a zune pass, the unlimited music for a monthly fee deal? I was so hoping i could just turn on wifi tethering and hook up my zune with some nonstop internet downloading. sadly, it was never meant to be.
Well no real need for a crossover cable just bridge and set it to auto ip and dns xp and higher will split the up for you and share the wifi. I do this for Skype and netflixs on my ps3.also works on 360. Hope this helped a bit...poor geeks wifi trick when on the road or at home lol

Hi guys,
I have a rooted cynogen mod Lg P500.
I can connect my xbox360 to my laptop for bridging a connection. but have recently moved to ubuntu so the bridging is a mission and a half.
So I was wondering if it was possible to use an android phone as an xbox360 wireless adapter.
By this I mean:
My android is connected to my networks wifi.
I want to connect my xbox360 to the android and connect to xbox live.
Is this possible?
no your internet source need to be 3g or 2g to enable wifi hot spot on your phone.
the phone cannot work like a switch
It wouldn't be a wifi hot spot since we need the phone as an adapter.
I'm thinking this is closer to wired tethering.
Is this too late or is there some way to it. I'm not ready to buy a new router and if an android can do this with PDAnet, could it also work with the xbox?
Is there a way to tether the Thunderbolt with the MBR1200 or any type of Cradlepoint router? I saw on Cradlepoint's forums the Incredible and Blackberries were not officially supported but would work and that almost all Android devices should work as well.
Why not root and use a wireless tether app? That way you don't need a router
I am rooted and have the wireless tether app. I was hoping to be able to use my TB to connect my xbox to live without having to use internet connection sharing on my pc.
Another option would be to get a WiFi antenna for your xbox.

Trying to hook up to evo here as well.
I know it's ndis device just like the mogul and ps2 were. I don't know why they are able to but the evo and the sister models aren't working on it. Specially since evo has been out a year. if they need a ata diagnostic to see the activation lines I'd be more then willling to do one and copy the info to them.
HTC Thunderbolt w/ Cradlepoint MBR1200
I own a Cradlepoint MBR 1200 and was thinking about purchasing an HTC Thunderbolt to connect to this router so I could have unlimited 4G data. Is it possible to do this. I have not been able to get a clear answer.
I don't have 4G, but I will try to hook my T-bolt up to my MBR1000 later today and let you know what happens.
Subscribed. I have one of these at work that I have been working with. When connected to USB it cannot obtain an connection. It's like you need to edit modem settings or something. Of course if you back fed it into a PC in the WAN port you might be able to set up an outgoing connection.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I used Internet connection sharing on a pc and plugged the Ethernet cable into the wan port and it worked that way. I also bought a cheap wireless bridge and connected my Thunderbolt to it using the rooted wireless tether app so that I wouldn't have to have a computer always on to use the Thunderbolt's connection. It does seem that the problem with connecting it does have to do with the MBR not recognizing it but the MBR doesn't seem to recognize it is even plugged in, I read on Cradlepoint's site how to connect a Incredible to the router, but the Thunderbolt does not have the same connection choice as the Incredible does. If someone could figure out the difference between the connection types it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to make a app for this http://blog.cradlepoint.com/an-android-powered-cradlepoint-router.
I used the built-in wired tethering and it didn't work...yet...
When i get some more free time I'll try something like Easy Tether.
I'll see if I can find anything about modem settings as well...
I've been searching the forums, but didn't find this exact question. I want to tether my rooted NT to my non-rooted droid 3 phone to provide 3g internet access when I'm not around a wifi connection using a USB cable connecting the two (I have a USB female to male micro USB adapter to connect the nook cable to the phone). I would prefer not to root my phone and not use the mobile hotspot or pay verizon an extra $30/mo, etc. I have used Easy Tether for my phone and laptop previously and it has worked well. I've looked at pdanet and pdanet tablet, but it wants to use bluetooth which has not been enabled on the NT yet. Is there any way to even do this yet until the USB hosting is enabled on the NT?
This is not the answer you are looking for, but I have been using WiFi tethering from my T-Mobile MyTouch 4G (with CM7) for a few days now.
If you could tether via USB and not get in trouble with VZ, I don't see why you couldn't do the same via WiFi. Since you would be tethering to another Android device instead of to a laptop, I wouldn't think that even if VZ is checking the data going through the phone, they would notice anything all that different, since both devices are running Gingerbread.
You'd have to put a WiFi tethering app on the Droid, which may require you to root. My MyTouch 4G came with WiFi Tethering capability from the get-go, so perhaps you can find a non-root WiFi app to let you do it.
wifi tethering works but I dont think USB will because B and N didnt put the drivers for the nook to recognize another android device... or rather any device except a computer through USB. They stripped many things out of this Android OS

I was able to do so but I had to play with the configurations of the phone (not root it) since it was a connection thing and not touching the OS on the phone. I work for the company so I have access on how to do so. However that being said I deactivated which I will explain below.

Carriers can tell the difference on what is using what. This is why AT&T surprised their customers by billing them for tethering usage on their network. It has nothing to do with whether both devices are Gingerbread or not but how the traffic is moving on the network. It simply requires a sniffer. Also, I removed my phone fix when I found out that Verizon is also planning on doing the same thing AT&T has already done; wouldn't be good if they discovered many of their employees are doing this. The two carriers normally follow suit. I'm just surprised that both have taken so long to respond since they are loosing revenue. I think it's a ridiculous charge and customers shouldn't have to pay for the service that was already built in. If the user has a plan then it should be based on their data plan not on how they are using on connecting nodes to it.
If you look in the forums there is a special driver that has been ported over from the Nook Color and rewritten for the tablet. It allows for an Ad-hoc or device to device connection via wifi. That would solve the problem with the Wifi issue. Be careful however because it is an advanced procedure requiring you to be rooted and install root explorer and copy over the new wifi driver... Good Luck!
