I rooted my phone, and when i try to wireless tether the network shows up on my laptop but it will not connect. Any ideas why this is not working?
Thanks
Disable authentication and give it another try. For some reason, when I setup a WEP key I'm unable to even see the network on my laptop. Once I disabled it everything was working fine.
I was having same issue I tried both the beta version (wifi tether) and the version found in market (wireless tether). The one from market works however, its strange that my laptop when in Windows 7 I cannot connect but when using Ubuntu It works. I am trying to figure out how to get my PS3 and Windows 7 to connected.
The computers network card must be able to handle ad-hoc networks.....AND the drivers must also support it.
Not all cards or drivers do.
I have tried it all both tethers, one called barnical and nothing. It just says computer taking longer than normal to connect and then says it cant connect. I never had any issues on my laptop with my evo. When i first opened the app on my photon it says no access control something about the kernal.

until they make it infrastructure it really sucks and has issues
I'm asking this question on BEHALF of MYSELF and OTHERS. Can you SHARE your LAPTOP or PC's connection with your android phone.
For example lets say i wanted to play a gameloft game but i need to download additional data through Wifi, is there a way for me to use my Laptop or Pc's connection through my phone so i can download the game for my phone.
If anyone has a solution to this question please make your answer VERY DETAILED
I am on a XPERIA X10, Please reply or answer THIS QUESTION
Advice:
I've Googled about this problem. I have data plan in my phone and no WiFi at home. Many people like me also use this way to get connection. But what they got were "FAILED". ONLY WAY = connect TO WiFi (can't say every game, but maybe 1% can use reverse tether method)

melvinchng Same here i dont have Wifi in my house, there certian games that wont download with my carrier network and insist on me downloading through wifi. I ALREADY know how to download GAMELOFT GAMES that require wifi only but it is very inconsistant and dodgy on my x10.
Theres a wifi signal on my laptop i can connect to the but the signal on android phones are so bad i just cant connect to the router.
If your pc has wifi(I know you don't have wifi in your house) you can download and use the app connectify for windows
If your pc has a working wifi card (with drivers installed of course), then you can share its connection via wifi. If you have windows 7, you can use "Connectify" or "Virtual Router". If you have windows xp and above (on a dell pc. Don't know if it works on others), then you can use "Dell Laptop to Hotspot Converter".
there is a guide on my device's forum about this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229558
for the step where it says "bridged local area connection and LG adaptor," you must find the equivalent of the lg adaptor that applies to your phone (if that makes sense). other than that, i think it should work.
What you are looking for is called "usb-internet pass-through" correct? Alot of custom roms already have it as a feature in the wifi setting, next to wifi hotspot. Im not familiar with your device or whether you are rooted but its pretty handy. Can also work as a wireless card, as in turn wifi setting on the phone and plug it into a desktop that doesnt have a wifi card and presto, wifi through your phone thats through a wireless router so its not eating up your data quota and much faster than the 3g on your phone.

Try wifi tether, a quick google will bring up the google code webpage.
Once it is installed go into the settings,
Select the proper device profile,
check Routing Fix.
make sure wifi driver reload is checked.
Sometimes the tethering needs to be fully started, then stopped and then closed. Once you reopen it you should be good to go to connect with your laptop.

This is the exact setup I use, and it works flawlessly. Also, you may try resetting your wireless adapter on your laptop. A lot of the time that can fix limited connectivity errors.
Both of the laptops have windows 7. I just downloaded the wireless tether app from Google code and will try again when I get home tonight. Also how would I go about resetting my wireless adapter?

Alright so set up the suggested settings in the wireless tether app and it ddnt work. I reset my wireless adapter and it still ddnt work. I clicked on diagnose problem and it said that my wireless network connection doesn't have a valid IP connection... I've restarted the app and tried again and reset my adapter multiple times to no avail... is there anything I can do?

So you can tether your xbox wirelessly with the wifi tether app? That means the issue is with your laptop. have you tried another wireless network to see if you can connect to that with your laptop? also have you updated the drivers on the laptop. Also you can try to disable your firewall on the laptop.
Yah everything else connects to my laptop. I even have a Verizon mifi that's works perfectly. And my phone plays nice with everything else. The only thing wrong with with my laptop is that it doesnt wanna tether. Just says what I posted 2 posts above. How would I go about removing the firewall?

On the wifi tether app, under settings, do you have router fix box checked? I believe it needs to be.

Wireless tether worked best for me
I wasnt able to get the WiFi tether working but i was able to get Wireless tether 2.0.7 using the liquid.mecha v3.2 ROM
here is the result
8.92 Mb/s Down and 6.46 Mb/s up
not bad imo

Yah its checked. I'm just gonna assume its my laptop. Does what radio you have have something to do with it? I have the 2.5 radio instead of the 3.0 with my cm7

Wireless tether is known to not play nice with some Intel wireless cards. The only sure-fire way to fix it that I've found is to set a static IP configuration based on what the phone is transmitting. It seems like the wireless card doesn't want to pick up the phone's IP address, so you have to do that manually. Tedious, but effective.
Ok. I'm not very computer savvy so how would I find out what my phones IP address or whatever and how would I manually input into my computer? I do have an Intel wireless adapter.

I used wireless tether without any problem on my old droid X, but now I'm having connection issues. My Asus transformer can see my Rezound just fine and connect, but my in dashoard Galaxy Tab doesn't see it at all.
I've tried the current beta of Wireless Tether, 2.0.7, Barnacle, and Open Garden, all with the same results.
We need to nail down what specific settings those successfully tethering are using.
Please list the following.
1. What app you are using.
2. What settings you are using (device presets, clamping, ect.).
3. What you are successful in tethering wirelessly to.
I'm going to run a few more tests, and post mine.
I don't mean to ask a dumb question but these apps just allow you to use your phones 4g on a laptop, etc. ? Are they free if you have unlimited data?
Why aren't people using Mobile hotspot to tether or am I getting confused?
To use the mobile hot spot you have to pay for it

Gotcha. What tether apps are people using for free? What seems to be working.
Wireless tether 2.07 kinda works. I have to run it open and it only broadcasts in ad-hoc mode

I'm using this one http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-pre113.apk&can=2&q= and I have "Routing Fix" checked under settings. Works good for me (CleanROM 1.1 and Ziggy's Kernel).
Thanks for the post. I really need to know this too. I've tried everything but still a no go.
According to wiki ad hoc needs the same channels to work. For the people that do have it working what channels are you using in ad hoc mode.
Definition
To set up an ad-hoc wireless network, each wireless adapter must be configured for ad-hoc mode versus the alternative infrastructure mode. In addition, all wireless adapters on the ad-hoc network must use the same SSID and the same channel number.

The problem is what devices you try to use to connect to your phone's mobile connection. I tried connecting with my Asus laptop (Windows 7) and it wouldn't connect correctly. I tried connecting with my gf's windows xp laptop and it works perfectly fine!
If you have questions about wireless tethering, please go do a bit of searching and reading, there are hundreds if threads that describe what it is.
This is a thread so we can get it working right.

I fought for days over this before this release and from my trial and endless errors Ive come to realize (very very long story short) for the time being the best work through is using "OpenGarden" from the market. Don't change any settings. Just have an open connection and use access control. Like I said. Long story short, the issue lies within encryption. Leave it open and use access control. Hope this helps.

+1. Its the only way I got it to work with my device so far.
So what paid/free apps are currently working?
Is anyone tethering a Touchpad running CM7 successfully? or an iPad? Currently posting for hotspot, but might cancel if I can still successfully tether those two over Adhoc. I can't get the Touchpad to work using wifi tether yet and don't have an iPad right now.

I've successfully tethered my IPad2 to my Rezound with Wireless Tether 2.0.7.
I also tether my Ipad2 without any problems. I'm using Open Garden.
Hello,
I've been trying to use tethering of my 3G phone to get WiFi on my Prime. I am using an app from the market that creates an Adhoc network to do the tethering. The app is working fine as I verified by connecting my Laptop to my phone's 3G and got it working.
The Transformer Prime detects the Ad Hoc network but just doesn't want to connect to it!
Any suggestions?
Works fine for me (prime tethered to 4G HTC Rezound) .. It's probably just your app. Try using wifi-tether.

Yup, not working for me either. It sees it and let's me select the wifitether network but it just says "saved". It won't let me connect to it. I'll keep trying

I get that sometimes too...but a long hold on the wifi line has options to connect/forget/modify.....at different times, I've had to use each of them....but I'm always eventually been able to get tethered to my Win6.5 TouchPro 2.
The app I use is WMWiFiRouter.....it works great....but it's not a free app

You don't need that fix....That's one thing that 21 did....was to incorporate that fix into the update.
i think i may have your answer. i couldn't tether my prime to my htc evo 4g either. then i enabled routing fix under wifi tether settings and now I'm able to tether prime no problems at all. hope that works btw I'm using wifi tether 3.1 beta 6

As stated above, a long hold on the WiFi icon will give you three options...Hit "connect"...usually solves the issue

tried a bunch of times...
i tried to connect a transformer prime to a mac book pro as access point with no success.
i got a "saved" message instead of "connected"... hit "connect" doesn't do the trick either.
tried using a nexus s as access point using easy wifi tether, and i've been able to connect my prime with no problem.
no security in both case. if ad hoc connection doesn't work please specify what access point you try to connect to. it might help to solve the problem.
ad hoc works with joikuspot premium on nokia n97 mini
In joikuspot premium settings you just have to choose for WEP Open. That way the tf201 will accept it when you put in the network key you get.
