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

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

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 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.
Honestly, My wifi connection on my pc isnt cutting it at all, and i cant really get an ethernet cable, and I got a crazy idea. Can i use my S4 wifi connection on my pc? Honestly, my s4 gets a faster connection, and was just wondering if this crazy idea would work. I guess it would be like tethering but replace the 4g with wifi. Is this possible, and am i crazy at all?

What kind of data plan do you have?
6GB shared data with 2 family members. Sadly, Not Grandfathered Unlimited Plan
Easiest way would be through data plan. Yet I'm not sure if the S4 is capable of connecting to a AP and serving as a AP, but you could test this
