So I have a Motorola Atrix unlocked running Alien-4 ROM.
What I'm trying to do:
Tether my phone via USB to my Wireless Firewall (A ZyWall USG-20).
My firewall supports multiple WAN interfaces, specifically 2. One of them is on the WAN port where my cable modem feeds my internet connection to the firewall. The other is via a USB interface that supports Cellular internet connectivity.
Further it supports load balancing.
SO my desire is to have my cable modem feed into the WAN interface with the Atrix connected over USB tethering to the USB interface so I can configure load balancing and utilize my phone and cable modem for my internet connection.
My problem is that the ZyWall does not recognize my phone as a cellular USB 3G modem even when I have USB Tethering enabled. According to them my ZyWall will recognize the following dongles...
HuaWei:
E220, E270, E169, E800, E180
Sierra Wireless:
AirCard®USB 598
So now is it possible to make my Atrix look as though it were one of those dongles? Has anyone attempted something like this before?
I'm certain that others have attempted something like this for one reason or another, perhaps not with load balancing but using USB Tethering to connect the phone to their router (even though the phone can be a WiFi hotspot) and was just curious if anyone knows of a way to make the router see the phone over USB. Perhaps an app that will change what the phone 'appears' to be to external devices?
Thanks for any assistance

I have Archos 101 and Tilt2 with WMWIFIRouter, does anyone know what settings I need to get a connection for Cellular to USB. I cant get a connection with bluetooth tethering or regular USB tethering, so I'm resorting to USB to Cellular with WMWIFIRouter.
I think it's impossible. Internet sharing in Windows Mobile needs RNDIS driver on the device. I'm sure Archos doesn't have it. Moreover, I'm doubt any Android device have it.
Alright, did the usual searches and have the usual answers wich don't seem to pertain to what i'm doing.
I have one static connection allowed to wifi router. I wish to use phone to share this connection with more than one device not using mobile data but the broadband connection.
Basically connect phone to broadband wifi. Have devices connect to phone to share wifi.
Again, to prevent any confusion: I do not want to share mobile connection on phone. I wish to share wifi connection with other devices from phone. ie. I have only one connection allowed to router and I wish to use phone to share that connection with PC and PS3.
Sorry for redundancy in stating this but people seem to miss the point or not read and suggest applications like Barnacle wich only share mobile internet or USB tethering wich only works for PC.
Well from what I understand Wi-Fi must be off on phone in order to create the Wi-Fi signal on the phone so this may be impossible

I know exactly what you are saying, and I am pretty sure it is impossible. I currently have wi-fi service where I have to log in, with only 1 device allowed log in at a time. When you turn on the wi-fi hotspot on your phone, it automatically turns your wi-fi off. You can only use the hotspot feature using your data connection over 3g or 4g. I have tried everything. If you are in the same situation, where you can only log one device on the internet connection, you may want to try spoofing your IP. Change the IP on the other devices to the IP on your phone. This may allow you to log the other devices in as well (so I have read). That may be your only option.
Yeah looks like Im going to connect PC and use an ethernet cable with connection sharing to get PS3 to work. Phone will have to use mobile data unless PC and PS3 arent being used.
Or phone gets wifi and USB tethered to pc and then connection shared (not sure this will work).
sharing wifi connection
I have done this using a Buffalo WLI-TX4-G54HP ethernet converter. You connect to the wireless source (WAP) then it acts like a router and allows you to plug devices into it, has four ports but you could use a switch if more are needed. Each device aquires an IP from the converter and is hidden to the WAP, looks like one device is connected. Pretty easy to setup. Check it out.
Hi, I've searched the forums for similar questions and didn't find anything.
I have a laptop that can connect only in 802.11b & 802.11g. When I run wireless tethering in my phone (enabling ap in wireless connections because I have the stock firmware), my laptop can't find the access point. It looks like the phone is using 802.11n by default when doing the wireless tether, preventing my laptop from connecting. If instead of using the built-in wireless adapter of my laptop, I use a wifi usb stick with 802.11n, I can connect without problems. I would like not having to use the stick, though.
How can I disable 802.11n when doing wireless tether in my phone?.
Maybe I have to download an app from the market in order to instruct my phone in doing the wireless tether in g mode?
Thanks in advance.
No one has an answer?

I have a question about my M9.
I rebuilt my desktop last night and could not find any working wireless dongles in my house. So I was left to download my phone drivers, via my phone, and install them into my desktop so it recognised my phone. After this I enabled USB Tethering to go onto my internet.
The problem I noticed is that the phone was using my mobile data, rather than my Wi-Fi connection, despite being connected to Wi-Fi and enabled.
Is there any way to turn my mobile into a USB wireless dongle and stream it into my Desktop? Seems like smart phones ain't smart enough to just push the best "internet" connection, into my Desktop lmao! I'm a bit of noob when it comes to software coding so I understand it might be a pure limitation on the device which restricts it.
Spacedesk is a desktop app that allow to make your device into another monitor & control mouse
Need a wifi point near my desktop pc (for lower latency), so i wanted to use my phone in usb tethering since wifi hotspot don't work / stop working after some times on pc with power management setting off (when i try to connect, it just do nothing and still say "Secured" but not "Connected")
So i want my phone to redirect everything from the wifi hotspot, to the usb tethering and the same thing in the opposite way, i know i can use proxy server, but i don't know how to configure it to make it work with spacedesk.
Any idea?
spacedesk port is 28252
