Been running WMWifiRouter on my HD2 (TMo, WM6.5) for over a year with little problem, serving as my home computer's Internet connection. Just bought a Viewpad 7, and want to serve its wifi connection similarly. Nothing I can do on either device causes the HD2 wifi hotspot to be seen by the Viewpad 7. I also downloaded and tried the XDA's WiFiRouter, with same results. The Viewpad 7's wifi is working fine - - it can see lots of other wifi hotspots. Any suggestions?
Answer, plus another Q (can't see my HD2's wifi hotspot)
I just got this answer from a similar post on PCCGeeks forum:
your windows mobile creates adhoc WiFi, which supported by full blown OS, like windows xp. android does not recognize this type of network. however, iOs devices can see ad hoc.
the only tablet on the market that can see the network created on your hd2 is the iPad​
Oh. Darn. That is bad news. Hmmm... what if I changed my HD2 to run Android (I see lots of forum activity that seems to say that is superior and relatively easy to do, am I right?) If I do that, is there an Android app for the HD2 that would create a wifi hotspot that the Viewpad 7 can see? Surely there's a solution for these 2 pieces of hardware. I'd rather not have to get a SIM with cell phone service for the Viewpad 7, because that's a $30+ a month "solution".

At my company we have a SonicWall in the TZ series and all VPN tunneling is done over a L2TP/IPSEC PSK connection using 3DES encryption. There are several PCs (no Macs) that use the VPN. There is one iPad. My boss is very intrigued by the latest Verizon iPhone announcement. I agree that the iPhone may work as well as the iPad already does. We are switching away from AT&T and currently have no investment in iPhones. Most of the phones are Blackberries. A carrier or OS choice hasn't yet been made.
In our tests using the Vibrant, connecting to the VPN using Android was not difficult per se but seemed to require use of DES instead of 3DES. Is this really the case? It would require we downgrade (and reconfigure) the VPN and all the clients that connect if Android was to be used for even one employee. If so, it will probably mean Android will be overlooked as an enterprise solution. What is desired is something that works with our existing infrastructure. I wanted to confirm whether others found Android to be lacking here as well or if it's just my inexperience. I'd like to recommend Android for the enterprise but can't ATM.
Confirmed that it uses DES instead of 3DES, but from what i know, I9000 (International Galaxy S) uses a different encryption than the Vibrant counterpart. I'm not so sure whether it is a 3DES encryption or some other.

android vpn
well i buy vpn connection for android from pure vpn in i had problem but now i am using ok service....
@purevpn - That's great, however I have no problem actually connecting to the VPN. I just was hoping that I was wrong about how lame the security feature set in the Vibrant / perhaps even Android in general. It would appear that I was not unless anyone else has anything further.
Hey everyone,
Searched for an hour about this and read tons of posts that talked about Droid phones and some others, but nothing that seemed to apply to mine.
I am wondering if it is possible to tether my old Samsung Hue phone to my G tablet? I live pretty far out into the country, and this is the best way I have to get internet access. The Hue EVDO connection is always pretty fast and much better than the Hughesnet satellite connection I had before.
Is it something that can be done? If so, please let me know which ROM would be best for this application.
Appreciate any and all help!

I have a Tilt2 running windows mobile 6.5 and have tethered successfully using a tethering program found in the tilt2 section of xda.
Also winmo here......buy wifirouter for winmo
Samsung Hue is not a smartphone. Not going to be able to WiFi tethering.
Only going to be able to do USB tethering. While the G-Tab can act as a USB host, I don't know if it has all of the kernel modules and networking components necessary to do this. (What basically amounts to dial up networking)
You might consider getting a MiFi type device from your carrier (Alltel? Now Verizon?). Then you could do WiFI tethering through EvDo that way.
Same here - I want to tether using my Cricket Samsung Messager Touch via DUN when mobile. I know it can be done cause we mess with cellular connecting devices (GSM - at&t) at work, but I have no knowledge of the inner workings of linux/android, or the dial-up scripts needed for US-Cellular/Cricket.
Add my name to the list! I want to do Bluetooth tethering so when I'm on the road I can use my phones 3G service to get internet on my tablet.
Got my GTablet on Saturday, this is my first day with it at work, and I was excited.
Except it turns out my GTablet doesn't see the wifi here. It sees two of them, but not the third one that I need access too. My iPhone sees and connects with it, no problem.
I attempted to manually set the SSID, but that just results in an unconnected network showing up in the network list.
Any thoughts? It's a G router running 2.4Ghz, thats all I know about it. I believe it's a 3Com.
My GTablet is running TnT Lite 4.40.
Is the network you're trying to connect to an adhoc network?

Or it may be that the network has a hidden ssid?

Asked around at work and none of the Tablet people had any ideas (all running iPads). None of the Droid users did either, since they are all on stock ROM phones. Since we're not technically supposed to use this network (why is it there?), I had to ask IT in a very hypothetical way. I'm pretty sure the tech knows why, but he responded 'hypothetically' and was cool about it.
We're running CISCO routers with PEAP enabled. Ooops. After doing a bit of research, doesn't look like TnT Lite handles that. So I'm going to have to try a new ROM. Thinking I may try one of the Vanilla builds.
Guess we'll find out tomorrow if I have to try a different one!
Ok, running Vanilla 2.3.3 AOSP now, it sees the network and connects with it, but none of the intranet sites work. However I can access the internet from it.
Meh. Getting ticked off at this thing.
Maybe this will help?

I've been reading in the gadget press for the past week about how carriers in the states are blocking tethering apps through the marketplace.
I'm looking to upgrade my phone this week to an S2 and was just wondering what the options are with tethering? Never had an Android phone before so not sure if it's likely to be a built in feature as well as an alternative download through the market. My old HD2 had it as a feature of the software on Win 6.5.
Anyone in the uk tethering their phones yet?
It's built right into Android. Been using the wireless hotspot feature all week so I can sit out in the sun and do some work
Excellent that's good to know. Thank you.
A recent version of Android introduced WiFi sharing, so you can turn your phone into a WiFI hot-spot and it'll route to your 3G connection.
Works like a treat, and seems far snappier than my old WinMo 6 with Bluetooth and Internet Sharing.
Anyone tried this on AT&T?
wi-fi hot spot works a treat and no need to root.
Hi guys, I haven't found a good method through my usual search methods, and I was wondering if anyone might know if this is possible. I want to be able to tether two android phones simultaneously to my laptop while traveling or at my siblings youth football games so I can still do my school work (I multitask). I want to do this for increased speeds so places I only have one or two bars it doesn't take five minutes just to load a single site. My laptop dualboots windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04. Also my phone (LGOG) is rooted with USB and wifi tethering already unlocked. The second phone will either be a HTC Evo 4G ( soon to be upgraded to the LTE version) or a friends phone that I can root if need be. Both on sprint. If this is possible either using wifi tethering, USB tethering, or a combination of both this will help me greatly. Thanks.

If you have found a way to do this, let me know. I've found next to nothing online about tethering two phones at once. Microsoft's Cool-Tether seems like a possibility but after it was announced back in 2009, it never really went anywhere.
