Tethering question - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I usually just use Mobile AP from my Vibrant to my Tab, but I'm wondering if USB tethering will get me faster speeds? My signal at work sucks, so if the usb tethering would be faster, I'd like to order the adapter. Thank you.

If you are talking about your cell signal sucking, then it wouldnt matter if you were tethering via usb or wifi.
I tether to my tab from my old htc hero and the speeds are 3gish. The battery just doesn't last too long.

Wifi Question..

I've looked in the forums but can't find anything on this subject. Here's my question.
I'm at my Parents house and they have one computer that's hooked up to a broadband connection. I have a laptop and they don't have a router or wifi.
Is there a way to plug my phone in and use it as a wireless router using their internet connection?
Oh and I would use my phones internet but the signal is pretty much zero in the neighborhood. Still haven't put up that cell phone tower.
I'm using NFS Rom on my Touch Pro CDMA from Alltel..well now Verizon

[Q] Thunderbolt with Cradlepoint MBR1200(router)

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...

[Q] Tethering 4g speeds?

I have tried pdanet and easytether, none of those give me 4g speeds while tethering. I have tried unlocked hotspot, but neither the usb nor the wifi tethering let me use 4g, as soon as i plug it in or start the wireless hotspot, it disconnects me from 4g and it cant reconnect, but once i turn off tethering it lets me connect to 4g
anyone get 4g speeds on tethering?

This has been an issue since the OG EVO. The only way I ever had 4G speeds on tether was USB tether with CM7. But that's on the OG EVO. It's only a matter of time.
I get great 4g speeds while tethering with PDAnet, in fact when I use the speed test app on my phone and then use the speed test website on my laptop I usually have a 50-100% increase in download and upload speed.

[Q] use android phone as wired router

i really hope the title made since but if it didnt hear is what im wondering is possible to do in any way with any app. i know how to use my G2 as a wifi and usb hotspot via tmobiles blazing fast 2meg service here in louisiana but what i actually would like to be able to do is have my home charter internet from my wifi router to my G2 and from the G2 to my new desktop via usb cable (doesnt have wifi and im out of usb wifi adapters). So basically .....Netgear wifi router>HTC G2>Usb cable>Desktop. Is this even a remote possibilty or am i stuck using the 2meg (5gig limit) tmobile connection? thanks for any help that can be offered, veritasaequita
So you're essentially attempting to utilize the phone as a WiFi adapter, correct? If that is the case, I'm pretty sure you can connect to WiFi and then connect the phone to your PC in internet tethering mode.
that is exactly what im wanting to do, im gonna try it real quick. i hadnt tried it because as i recalled when wifi connects usb greys out but i could be thinking of wifi tethering doing that. ima give it a quick try and post back. thanks for lending a hand
You're very welcome

Question on tethering: USB or WiFi Hotspot

Hi all,
First post - here goes.....
One of the primary reasons I got the SGS3 (UK 3 network) was to get broadband at home - where I live (deep dark west cornwall) I cant get decent internet via the fixed landline yet I found (and tested) that with a yaggi antenna on my roof and a repeater I can get ridicoulously fast mobile data (10Mb/s) thorugh my SGS3 whereas my landline (which I pay alot for) can barely reach 1Mb/s.
Anyway from tests so far it "seems" that connecting via USB tethering is faster than setting up a wifi hotspot however every time I connect using USB tethering it sets up a new network (I am now on Network 68!!!) on my computer - Maybe this isn't a problem but it really annoys me. By this time next year I'll be on Network one thousand and something which knowing MS will clog things up. Also tethering via USB cable has really varied connection times - sometimes it takes 5 minutes before its all recognised and running.
Wifi tethering is really quick and simple - It connects instantly but "seems" to provide slower internet on my computer compared with USB tethering.
What is really odd is that if I do a speed test on my phone using Speedtest.net app on my phone I get 8-10Mb/s but if I run a speed checker on my tethered laptop it isn't as fast. Is there any mod/fix I can apply so that when I am at home and tethered the speed is "channeled" as optimally as possible to my laptop?
Best regards
Ginyons
