Over the last couple of days I have had lots of trouble connecting to the internet with my win 7 laptop using the wireless tethering option on my galaxy s2 read all the forums on it and notice that no one has a fix during this time I noted that my XOOM has no trouble up until I tried with the laptop this got me thinking so I got out my daughters laptop that is running kubuntu 11 and that has no issues surfing over the phones wireless tethering switch on my win 7 laptop and all three now have no internet and the tethering app has an error when you try to switch it off, reboot phone leave my win 7 laptop off and linux laptop and android XOOM connect to wireless tethering again with no problems surfing. I try this same scenario with my wife laptop and same thing. Now just a note the wife daughter and son all have the huawei and we can all connect to the internet via wireless tethering on all devices so what gives

I have a usb760 from verizon. I used it when i am on the road with my windows laptop. It give me 3g from verizon. I am wondering if i can connect this to my gtablet? I plug it into the usb port and it lights up green, but doesn't connect. When i use it on my laptop there is software that connects to the verizon network. Can this device work on our tablet?
As far as I know the only USB modem anyone here in the gTab forums have gotten to work with the gTab is a chinese Huawei USB modem.
You can read about that success story here:

What most people do is run Wireless Tether or Barnacle Wireless Tether on their android phones and turn it into a wi-fi hotspot. Then connect their gTab to it and off to the internets you go.
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".
Hi
I just got a LG G2 Mini.
And I would like to connect it to Internet through my cabled internet on my laptop
I did this with my daugther's Iphone, using an ad hoc network on my laptop connecting the Iphone with reverse tethering
I have tried this with my new phone, without managing
I also tried connecting to my laptop using an usb cable, without getting connected
Do I have to root the phone to do this?
Odin
I think that what you want to do is called "reverse tethering".
Just Google it.
EDIT: I just noticed the title, lol
Happy new year to everyone on the forums!

Had bought Lyf Flame 2 around 3 months back. Initially it was detected by laptop under MTP and I was able to transfer the files. Also I used to tether laptop and mobile by USB tethering.
But since last few days my laptop has stopped detecting my mobile under MTP. USB tethering is still working though.
Any help on this guys?
I have a HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690 on regular Windows 10 that I do keep updated regularly and I use PDANet USB tether (I dont have unlimited tether and no other phone service has working service where I live). Recently an update to Windows 10 has completely crippled my USB Tether speeds using PDANet. Ive switched cables, uninstalled and reninstalled usb drivers, tried the TCP offloading thing, made sure my power mangament options were off on all usb ports, even tried 3 different other phones, to NO avail. My tether speeds used to be 20 to 30 mbps down and 5 to 10 mbps up and now the speeds are at a crippling 7 mbps down and 2 mbps up and randomly stops working (it doesnt disconnect per say but websites time out, upload stops uploading, etc, also all the phones tether the excact 7 down 2 up which rules out phones, usb port and cable issues). I did NOT have this problem before and sadly I cant undo the update so now Im stuck with this broken update. I need to use my limited wifi hotspot for things so using PDANet's wifi option is a no go, Clockworkmod hasnt been updated in years and just chugs at this point, Easytether while having faster speeds is so unstable with it's connection that it is still to this day unusable.
Note the only usbs I use is for USB Tether, mouse and keyboard.
How do I go about fixing my USB Tether issues with PDANet. It seems that whatever this update did has bottlenecked the usb speed and I need to uncork it somehow.
