I'm looking to buy the asus transformer infinity + dock for a friend. The fact is, there's no wi-fi at his place so he has a 3g mobile broadband usb stick that he plugs into his laptop to get internet. Has anyone tried if such a setup works? I'm thinking of also pairing a usb hub as everyone could use more usb ports.

I've never tried it on a prime or other Android device. However I did recently help someone set up a Verizon usb 3g device on a Windows Laptop. Thing is, it required the Verizon Access Manager software to be installed on the laptop - so Verizon might be a no go. I'm betting someone out there has probably hacked one, but I wouldn't be optimistic.
A better option might be something like this:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...t&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=5912
The device itself is only $20 but there is that pesky 2 year contract to get that price and the $50 per month for 5 GB per month. A similar device with another carrier that has better rates on data plans might be better. I only mention Verizon because that's what I'm familiar with.

Any suggestions?

I would try getting in touch with that app developer. They may be able to give you some information right off the bat to fix it, or maybe it will bring a problem to their attention that they didn't know existed with newer firmware or something.
Of course it depends on the developer, but more times than not, they are very helpful and will go out of their way to get you up and going.

Can I ask for some clarification please. When you say '3netaccess' - do you mean the APN info or something else? What exactly is the syntax and where does this go? I used three.co.uk as my APN plus all the other info you posted and connected via an E220. Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything...
Edit: Also notice that it loses/drops the connection with the dongle as soon as the tablet goes to 'sleep' (ie. after 1 min in my case on the screen sleep setting). Is there anyway round this..?
Cheers
3netaccess was jst like your 3.co.uk it was was my austalian access point (like 3mms and 3internet)
the only way i have seen to stop it from sleeping is by leaving the sceen on, or changing the screen setings, mine is on 1hour and then i turn it on andd off as i need

All of the wireless tether for root users are ad-hoc. Only the built in tether from Froyo and later are infrastructure.

No access control either
This version also reports that the Photon kernel doesn't have what's necessary for access control, so that will have to wait until custom kernels flow in from the geniuses (of which I am not one!).
I also have been unable to connect when any kind of WiFi encryption is selected; only way I can connect with my Mac (which is the only way I can test) is to disable encryption.
Our power went out, so along with no router, there was no cable. I knew from this thread that the newest Wifi Tether wouldn't work but I downloaded it and tried it anyway. No joy.
Next up, I grabbed Barnacle Tether. It's got only WEP encryption but I was up and running and was able to stream an entire move from Amazon's video streaming without a hitch. So, that works! Give it a shot...

I streamed Limitless to my Dell XPS m1330. My wife and I had forgotten we were even doing it - there was absolutely no stutter and no re-buffering. When the movie was over I remembered and was really impressed.
I don't know much about the settings, ad-hoc vs infrastucture, etc. All I know is that the wifi tether did not work for me. As others said it looks like it is transmitting but I can never find the SSID. Barnacle fired up and worked right away - no tweaks needed on my laptop.
edit: We just knew with no house internet access and no cable we could and wanted to watch a movie with my phone. I was originally going to buy it on the Android market and connect the HDMI from the phone to the TV but I don't have the mini-HDMI cable. Also, my TV is older so no DLNA. Only other option was the use the hotspot so my laptop could access the web and stream. BTW, when I accidentally clicked on the wrong window (I had the Android Marketplace Movies window open, also) it said that the movie streaming from Youtube was not set up or allowed for my country. That was wierd - the only thing I could think of was some IP address thing due to my using the wireless tether from Barnacle.

If darkjesus's method didn't work, then I'm not sure anything will. These modems are not easy to work on a lighter system like Android.
I'm happy to be proven wrong, of course.
In a german forum, i found an app called "UMTS Manager". With this app you can connect with 3G Networks with some Huawei-Sticks and maybe some other devices, too. They use mode-switch to switch device mode to modem only and then it works for them. Here's the link:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/asus-ee...-stick-zum-laufen-kriegen-17.html#post3236187
Of course, a lot of pages But some of them got ZTE K3565-Z working. For me it doensn't. Maybe we can find a solution
I found the reason, why it does not work on Tablet S. Our Tablet does not create ttyUSB*-devices when attaching 3G Modem to the Tablet. Normally it creates ttyUSB*-devices, attaches the Modem there and you are able to connect. I think it's a kernel issue or Sony modified the kernel. But with Custom Rom and Kernel which has got this "feature" it is possible to connect via 3G Modem. Maybe one of us could create this custom Rom..
So how?

You will have better success looking for a portable 3G-to-WiFi hotspot device. Not only will you not have to worry about installing USB modem drivers, the device will work with a non-rooted tablet. Also, if you have a 3G smart phone, look into WiFi tethering.

I just plugged it up and it didn't work. I'm hoping I did something wrong or mine is broken. Anyway, I'm out the dollar I paid for it. From what I've seen, the apple one, and the ones that look like the apple one work fine. So tomorrow I'm off to my computer store to ask for a counterfeit apple usb-ethernet adapter.
I´ve spent a ****load of time trying to make this work without having any knowledge of linux and anything.
The thing is, i managed to get it working simply inputing 3 commands on terminal.
Here´s my micro tutorial:
Turn off your wifi
Plug in the usb adapter and the network cable.
open terminal app
type
su
ifconfig eth0 ip.that.you.want.to.use
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
route add default gw your.default.gateway.address dev eth0
and that´s it, your network adapter should be working.
The menu on configuration doesn´t show up tough, so all the configurations must be done on the terminal, or by using other apps.
Hope to have helped

Thanks for the heads up. I'll try it when I get some time.
He prime users,
I have one of the primes with a bad connection to Wifi.
I love to use my prime for all other futures but it would be nice if i can also use it in the rooms further from my wifi signal.
Therefore i would like to insert a wifi usb stick/dongle into my prime keyboard.
Does anyone have experience with this? Or are there other people that have a wifi usb stick and want to check if it works?
My wifi signal is secured so how can you insert a password?
I really hope that this idea will solve my wifi problems for good.
Kind regards,
Germer
Did you registered you Transformer Prime on the (vip . asus . com) asus member webpage?
Once you have your product registered you will see an option on the left that let's you "ask" them to give the "solution" they found for those who have wifi problems with their Tranformer Prime.
Better worry, because it ends arround July I think.
Thanks for your reply.
I don't have the option on my asus vip page, i sended them an email now.
I bought the prime in the USA and i live in Europe so i can not return the prime.
I still hope i can solve the issue with a wifi stick? Anybody knows about the compatibility of a wifi stick?
On the VIP website, once inside, look for a botton called "TF201 GPS Extension Kit Apply&Inquire". After the click you will see something like this:
"Thank you for purchasing the ASUS Eee Transformer Prime TF201, and helping to make it the most popular Android based tablet since its launch in December 2011. We greatly appreciate feedback from our valued customers about our products, and take it very seriously. The response to the TF201 generally has been overwhelmingly positive, but we understand that, in certain regions, the GPS functionality has not met some user’s expectations.
Free Dongle! At ASUS, we are committed to delivering innovative, high-quality products and services, and our customers’ experience is important to us. Although the TF201 is not a professional GPS device, as part of our unwavering commitment to our customers we are offering all customers who purchased a TF201 system a free external GPS extension kit, called a dongle, which may help improve signal reception and optimize the user experience. We are pleased to announce this offer as part of our commitment to customer service, but it does not replace, alter or amend any existing warranties you may have.We also encourage you to contact ASUS customer support in your local region directly if you are experiencing GPS related problems.
ASUS prides itself on delivering an unrivalled user experience, and we offer our sincere apologies for any inconvenience that our customers may have encountered.
The offer will expire on 31th of July, 2012 (PST)."
It doesn't matter if you bought it in the USA and you live in Europe, just drop your adress and they will send you the hardware free of charge.
He again,
I do have the GPS extension kit, but does this kit also improve my wifi signal? I actually only care about the wifi signal. In the description of the gps extension kit it doesn't say anything about improving wifi.
germer
No, the dongle, according to reports, doesn't do anything to improve wifi.
Not sure why people in this thread are giving you advise on how to improve your GPS, when you asked about wifi?!?
Sorry I don't have any info on the issue you did ask about.
Sorry, my bad. I tought The dongle would help WIFI reception too.
Try searching on youtube for "asus transformer prime wifi fix" this might help. After you tested it, post here your results please.
I first brought up that idea about the wifi dongle. Demandarin said that if there is enough popularity on this subject Gary Keys might actually impliment it. So please keep seeing if more people would like this. This should be able to fix all wifi problems completely!!!
I used that video before, and it does work and improves my reception. But i can not sit at the couch and push on my tablet all the time. It is only temporarily and does not give me a good solution. I really hope that more people are interested in a wifistick solution so that someone can test it. More ideas?
Does anyone think this would work on the prime? It's a usb WIFI adapter for Apple products and some more.
meritline dot com/wlan-wireless-wifi-express-adapter-for-iphone-ipad-ipod---p-79501.aspx?hq_e=el&hq_m=2447492&hq_l=125&hq_v=84917200d8
Im not sure dude, but I would try giving it a go. I have messaged Gary Keys in hopes for him to allow usb wifi adapters to work on the prime to fix the wifi problem but I havent gotten an answer back yet. I assume if we all bring it up enough on these forums, he will actually impliment it in future updates. So, If you can, try spreading this idea around so more people will fight for this to happen.
I got this little wifi range extender that I carry around and use with my prime if needed.

It works pretty well. You can quickly change which wifi network you want to extend with this by connecting to it and using the web browser to log into the quick setup.
You can also use it as an external wifi card via ethernet if you have the dock and a usb to ethernet adapter.

So my main questions was if the device could be powered with the dock of my prime: it does not other than that, the repeater function works perfectly. The router is about 25 feet from the main router. The tfp right next to it, i managed to get 4 mbps of download out of a possible 12. From the same spot, the tfp gets between -80 to -70 dbm but the dm speed barely gets to 700 bps. So for the size and the price paid for, it's quite a nice performance imho. Besides, it is possible to configure it directly with the prime (with the help of'the dock and a nintendo wii ethernet to usb adapter). Like seen in most reviews the default settings come with dhcp server options disabled but it's quite easy to manage through the admin panel. I'll try to test it throughly with different scenarios (wifi hotspot and such...) and post results. It is quite sad that it can't be powered with the dock. Other than that, i hope it will be sufficient until the time i'll find a prpper replacement for the prime.

It might be nice if ASUS cared enough to make the WL330N3G available cheaply to TF201 owners ...come to think of it free would be even better.
I got my GPS dongle but to be honest I would rather have better Wifi. I am confused as to whether the TF201 actually supports a normal Wifi Dongle - my reading seems to indicate that it requires a software update with appropriate drivers. If that's the case then maybe that's a good reason to root the Prime with a ROM that supports a Wifi Dongle!
Is there one out there?

there is a thread in here somewhere about a wifi dongle. You might as well rma to get wifi fixed if you are stock (as long as you want to risk losing ability to unlock).

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I received an e-mail stating they could send me a wifi dongle as I have been extremely displeased with the TF201 wifi performance (among a myriad of other hardware issues and software issues).
Just curious if anyone has heard of this or has received one.
Thanks

I received the infamous GPS dongle about 6 weeks ago but haven't heard a word about a WiFi version of the beast! I wonder if it is the same thing or actually something different?

I/O dongle lol.
So far I haven't gotten or heard of anything about a Wi-Fi dongle. It would be interesting though. I wonder what difference it would make on mine, since mine doesn't seem to have Wi-Fi issues.

Asus = Persistant Perfection.
sure it wasnt a hoax? GPS sign up wasnt by email it was on website...

It's probably a hoax, Asus' conscience was probably wiped clean when they generously gave us the GPS dongle.

I don't think so -- reply came directly from them.
Perhaps a highly mis-informed employee or spelling error.
he likely meant GPS dongle. I wouldn't hold my breathe on a wifi dongle. it would be better for Asus to just add the drivers, through firmware update, needed to use external USB wifi dongles if we need/want the extra reception power.
Spelling error or unusual special action for select clients (that would explain the regio via email)
I dont have wifi problems, while max rate isnt the highest, its fine at picking up weak signals and squeezing some KB/s out of it and thats most important for me
Even though seems highly unlikely i'd love the idea of having a wifi dongle directly to the tablet
