Wifi Tethering Disconnects - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there!
Im having an issue with Wifi Tethering.
Everything I use my Wi-Fi Tethering it connects then after a few mins it disconnects.. Its quite annoying...
Im using SGS3 Stock ROM (rooted) with Stay Awake
And im using MacBook Pro late 2011
Anyone here have a solution to this problem?
Solution found: (maybe not applicable to all)
After installing this application Wifi Scanner (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer)
I saw that there are lots of AP in my location and found out i have conflicts with one of the AP.
I changed my channel on wireless and it works!
Now im able to use WIFI Tethering without disconnection.
I hope this one could help users out there!
(currently running wifi tethering for morethan 8 hours )
Thanks!

no one having this issue?

Problems with BT tethering A70it > rooted Dream (Wireles Tether)

Hi everyone .. I'm having issues tethering with my a70it through a rooted HTC Dream (G1) with Cyanogen 6.1
I have installed Wireless Tether for root users, and it works fine over wifi with my laptop, but my a70it doesn't see it using wifi, and its a bloody batery sucker.
So I've tried using BT. I change Wireless Tether to use BT, pair de archos and then in options I see the phone ready for tethering. I set it up and when I click on "Tether" I've found two different problems.
Sometimes it just stays "connecting" for a while then says it's impossible to connect, and sometime it connects, I can browse using navigator for some seconds, but then, without doing anything I get network error and I can't use internet anymore... though it stays connected (the little phone in the a70 taskbar keeps showing).
Anyone had this kind of problems? Is there any workaround to make it work?
Thanks!
Moved to general as not rom development
Try this Wireless tether apk, it is a older version and it works perfect for me on my incredible and on my wife moto2.

[Q] Getting Internet from my DsL Laptop to my Android Devices

Hey guys,
I am currently really desperately looking for a way to get Internet from my DSL-enabled Notebook to my Galaxy S2 and my Asus TF700T Tablet. I am in Finnland on a hotel so I don't have 3g here.
So the facts:
My Laptop has a Wifi Bigfoot Wirless n 1103 network card without Bluetooth.
First I tried to do is setting up a Virtual Wireless Hotspot which kind of worked, but only for a few moments. Got a connection on both devices but then the Hotspot somehow disappeared. Don't know why. Maybe it is due to the Network Card, which is built for good gaming performance over Wifi.
Anyone an idea whats wrong with my Virtual Wifi Hotspot?
Next thing I tried is to set up an Ad Hoc- Wifinetwork over the PC which kind of worked, but both Android devices can't see ad hoc networks and there seemed to be no working wpa_supplicant for jellybean. Both Android devices are on PAranoidAndroid 2.99 by the way and the Laptop is on Win 7.
Does anyone know a way to enable this to see Ad Hoc Wifi networks?
So next thing I tried is Tethering over USB with Android Reverse Tethering which worked for the Tablet but not for the Galaxy S2 for a reason I dont know.
So does anyone know, why it does not work on the S2?
Next I tried setting up a Wifi Hotspot on the Tablet with the app Wifi Tether which kind of worked, but unfortunately this is an ad hoc network which again my Galaxy S2 can't see.
Does anyone know an app that creates an infrasturctured Wifi Hotspot instead of ad hoc?
Then I tried setting up Bluetooth Tethering from Tablet to GS2 which I didn't got to work (Connection established but don't know how to get the Internet working then.
Anyone got an idea about this?
Anything else I could try?
I really didn't believe that this is so hard to do

Possible Wi-Fi issues?

So far I'm loving this tablet (even without root) but have noticed that I lose internet access if I'm browsing for a long time. I still have full Wi-Fi signal (I'm only a couple of feet from my router) but no internet access until I disable and re-enable Wi-Fi. This has happened several times since getting the tablet last Friday. I have 3 other Android devices including an Xperia Z1 and none of those have a problem. It has happened on two different Wi-Fi networks so it is definitely not a router issue. I have tried disabling and enabling the options under Advanced Wi-Fi such as 'Scanning always available' and 'Wi-Fi optimisation' but none help.
There is a Wi-Fi Check app preloaded on the Z3TC and it shows it is failing on test 4 - Gateway/DNS. All of my other devices remain connected.
Anyone else noticed a similar problem? I know it is early days but would like to know if I should return it before I get too attached to it!

I noticed at the beginning also the same...I had some connection problems in the browser and had to reload the page.
Do you have LTE or Wifi Version? Mine is LTE.

Just the 16GB Wi-Fi only version. I did some tests on my work Wi-Fi (streaming music and browsing) and the connection was stable. I'll try static IP and a few other things and test again at home.
Cheers
Yep, I have the same problem.
Wifi connection is not stable. Sometimes I have to wait for few seconds for it to reconnect.
Mine is 16 gb Wifi version only.
Is this a software issue.? Wondering if I should return it.
Anyone found a solution?

Actually, I haven't the problem again since the first week. I'm thinking it may have been a router issue after all (I'm using a Virgin Media SuperHub 2). I've not had any disconnections issues since.
Have you tried the Wi-Fi Test app?

Wifi tethering connected devices limit

Hi,
Two months ago I installed Cyanogen ROM (Kitkat 4.4.4) on my Samsung Galaxy Ace mobile. Now I am trying to enable wifi tethering for my 3G sim using my mobile.
When I enable wifi tethering I can't get internet on more than one connected device (if there is only one device connected it can access the internet, but when another device connects to the tethering wifi network only the lastest one can access the internet while the first one can't even ping the mobile ip !!)
I tried "Foxfi" and "wifi tether for root users" application, with no hope.
Can I connect more than one device to my Samsung Galaxy Ace wifi tethering network using my current Kitkat ROM? if I reinstall the original stock ROM can that fix the problem? is this a hardware limit or a software limit?
As far as Im aware only one phone can connect to wifi hotspot on ace (cm 10.2,cm11).If second connects first one drops (in my case).For stock I honestly do not know as I've never used it while I was on it.
If you have time and are willing to flash stock,please report result as Im also very curious whether its a hardware of software limitation!
CM ROMs have wifi issues.
