I rooted my MoPho, but can't seem to get my PC to connect to the internet via the phone's wifi signal. I bought a Belkin N150 wireless USB adapter. I can get the computer to pick up the MpPho's signal and connect via Wireless Tether or Quick wifi hotspot lite, but the computer says no internet connection, even though the signal strength is excellent. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
read around the general forum and the faq forum also. you might get some ideas from them. as far as i go i use wifi tether 3.1 beta 8 and it works fine.

I still cant get my PC to feed off the MpPho's wifi hotspot despite it connecting and having an "ecellent" connection. Any thoughts? Much thanks.
install Data Enabler from market, Quick Wifi HotSpot Lite
step by step
1. disable 3G by Data Enabler.
2. open Quick Wifi HotSpot Lite and start tethering.
3. enable 4G
works 100%

The 2.3.3 update provides the following that are fully functional:
USB Tethering - allows you to attach a single device via USB to allow it to access the Internet through your X10's WiFi or 3G data connection
Portable WiFi Hotspot - allows other WiFi-enabled devices to attach to your X10 via WiFi to allow them to access the Internet through your X10's 3G data connection
Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Tethering & Portable Hotspot to get to and set up those features.
For USB tethering, you'll need either a WiFi or 3G data connection available. For the portable WiFi hotspot, you need a 3G data connection available and the WiFi hardware must be on as well (since your X10 will become a WiFi router).
They work quite well, and they easily replace what we used to need 3rd-party apps for in the past.

OK, I have been frustrated with the lack of consistent/reliable wifi tether with the Photon as are many others. I live in a good 4G area but, up to now, have only been able to tether 4G via USB. Unfortunately, the awesome wifi tether app (thanks Harald Mueller and co.) still doesn't have dedicated settings for the Photon so we've all been fiddling with settings and app versions etc.. to try to get it working.
My main problems have been as follows:
1) 4G shuts off automatically after connecting and reverts to 3G
2) connection with tethering devices gets interrupted and the device no longer sees the phone. Need to restart the tether app on the phone and re-establish link with the device.
3) Can't talk on phone and tether simultaneously on 3G
4) Can't stream video to devices on 3G
etc...
The fix I found that works basically flawlessly is a jumble of different fixes other people have tried/found so I don't take credit for that but I have not seen the exact combination which work for me elsewhere so here goes and hope it helps some would-be 4G tetherers out there.
1) Install wifi tether version 3.0-pre12 ***EXPERIMENTAL*** (you have to go to the developer homepage and search for older versions)
2) Install data enabler widget from the Market
3) Wifi tether settings: samsung galaxy S, leave setup-method alone, setup wifi encryption to your preference
4) Turn off 4G
5) Turn off data via enabler widget
6) Launch wifi tether app and turn on tethering
7) Turn on 4G antenna (leave data enabler widget off!)
8) Wait for 4G data connection to appear active in the upper right of the phone
9) Connect your device via wifi and enjoy 4G tethering
Don't know why step 7 is so important but it is...
I now can pull 5-7 Mbps easily through the phone and stream flawlessly. I also don't get the mobile IP registration error anymore. Can also phone/tether simultaneously.
Only problem I have seen with this method is that after closing tethering down, the 3G data sometimes doesn't want to kick back in. Toggling data enabler will usually fix this although one time I did have to reboot the phone.
hope this works for others too!
will try later. thanks for the tip
it worked. thanks, however i used wifi tether 3.1 beta 7

Used Beta 11
Awesome, thanks for the info. seems to work with beta 11 and tornedo Root.
Thanks for bringing this up - there was another post regarding this here :

I was wondering whether anyone else has been successfully using the 4g wifi method as snappydave [OP] and these steps...
I haven't been using wifi-tether in a while (on my shabby torpedo rooted stock photon) since the google wifi 3.0 beta5
It would be nice to see the idea of being able to tether to 4g (in my area) and connect to a laptop and still use my phone to send/receive voice calls.
bottom line : does the data enabler widget and google wifi tether work well with these steps and 4g with in/out voice simultaneously? Or should I just stick with the google wifi tether on 3g and deal with the dropped connection on incoming voice calls? I can't afford to lose voice functionality - at least with the google wifi tether when I had used it, my tethered connection would drop from my laptop and then pick back up after an incoming call - sucks that I would lose the net connection - most important in case of something that requires a stable connection (e.g. video chat-skype / large file download)
Thanks to anyone in advance for further clarifications - cheers.

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 just bought a chromecast and I'm trying to figure out if I can get my GNexus to host the hotspot and be the chromecast remote.
In more detail:
I do not have internet from a cable/satellite company. The only internet connection I have is through my cellphone hotspot.
Chromecast will be connected to the internet through my cellphone hotspot (SSID: AndroidAP).
When my cellphone has the hotspot running it does not show up on its own network (AndroidAP).
I need the phone to show up on the network (AndroidAP) so that I can see the chromcast and use the phone as a remote.
Is this even possible?
Really? No one?
Is it possible?
I'd be very curious to know if this is possible or not. I found this thread because I'm wanting to do the very same thing. I still have unlimited data through vzw so this would be terrific if there was a way. The only thing is that the wifi turns off when the hotspot is turned on (at least on mine) so there would have to be a way to get it to connect to its own hotspot without making mobile data shut off.
Same thing needed Badly here @@
I also want to connect my moto e to it's own hotspot for remote control my tablet using my phone as mouse(specifically) and keyboard/joystick.
(I know keyboard and joystick can be possible without doing that but MOUSE can't)
Hellllllllpppppppp ......
1.5 years later and there's still no way to do this. Not only that this is the only page on the internet about it.
The de thread here
I want to use my phone WiFi network to connect my PC to it and then use the phone to remotly control keyboard and mouse on my PC over WiFi, but I just can not connect my phone to it's own WiFi network. :/
One thing I could do is using a WiFi extender to connect both devices to, but then I couln't get the devices connected to internet since they're connected to a "no-internet" WiFi extender network.
Still nothing? I need it to use my security camera which needs internet connection. I also need to be able to view it on my phone using the camera app but the devices have to be on the same network. Sux that i can't do this.
Hi,
I'm using a stock Moto X international GSM version from the Motorola US store in the UK with a Giffgaff SIM card (with their limited goodybag that allows tethering). Using Android 4.4.2.
3G Internet on the phone itself works fine, but when I try to use the stock USB Tethering, Wifi Tethering or Bluetooth Tethering to use the 3G from my computer, all my packets seem to get dropped (ping and dig hang - computer is on Linux; tried on 2 computers).
USB tethering when the phone is on Wifi works fine, only when it's on 3G nothing works.
I have adb set up and working, and as expected a ping from adb shell works fine.
Can you give me any hints how to debug this issue?
Thanks!

I would recommend trying a different tethering app such as FoxFi and seeing if that works for you, or other third party wired tether apps such as Clockworkmod Tether.

After a phone restart, the inbuilt tethering 3G via USB and Bluetooth does work, but the Wifi Hotspot still fails.
I tried the suggestion with FoxFi, but their device list says that devices with Android 4.4 do not work.
I fixed it!
Following this post:
Code:
forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-4/336899-updated-how-re-enable-tethering-kitkat-new-method-t-mobile-without-root.html
(The above is a link, but this silly forum doesn't allow me to post links until 10 posts or what.)
In my Giffgaff APN settings, "APN type" was set to "default", which broke Wifi tethering. Changing it to "default,dun", or leaving it completely empty both fixed Wifi tethering (around 5 seconds after pressing "Save" in the "Edit access point" menu, no restart was required).
Glad you got it working, checking your network settings was going to be my next suggestion.
