Does anyone know if it's possible to USB tether the Incredible 4G to a PC and turn the phone's wifi into an Ad Hoc wireless adapter? I found this thread that lets you turn the wifi into an Infrastructure adapter (to give the PC a wireless connection to an existing wireless infrastructure), but that's not what I'm looking for. Every other Ad Hoc post I've found so far is about connecting an Android device to an Ad Hoc connection, which isn't what I'm looking for. Essentially need a direct wireless connection where the phone is the gateway and is tethered to the PC.. Has anyone seen this or heard of anyone doing this, or maybe I'm missing something simple? Thanks for any assistance.
Note: I am S-OFF'd and rooted.
Nevermind

Hi guys, is there a way to pass through internet from a pc to the TouchPad?
Thanks.
that is more a question for your pc than for the TP.
So the TouchPad would read the internet data from a usb port?
Has anyone tried this and what software on the pc have you used? Thanks.
one bump but not looking hopeful
yes, it is called wireless router
Using a program called Connectify. Not via USB walkthrough but does create a infrastructure hotspot usable by touchpad. A bit convoluted but since touchpad will not recognize ad-hoc connections I've tethered my laptop to iphone, then used connectify to get touchpad on line.
Thanks for the reply. Everythings wired at my desk and mobile phone reception is 0-1 bars usually
Try that Connectify program. It will use your wired broadband connection on the desktop and make a hotspot that the Touchpad will connect to. It's got a free version that'll do what you need.
Thanks will check it out. When you say hotspot it sounds like wireless hotspot rather than usb? In that case there is nothing wireless on the pc....
Er, oops. Yeah, I guess it would need a wireless adapter to broadcast the hotspot! I was using this on my desktop with a wired internet connection so I assumed that we were in the same boat. Forgot I had a wireless card in it as well. My apologies.
I have a nook tablet (not rooted) that will not connect to my Droid X2 (rooted) tether wireless connection. I am able to connect to the tether wireless connection with my laptop though. Thoughts or somehow to resolve this issue??
Your Droid2 is likely broadcasting in ad-hoc mode. Android cannot by default, connect to ad-hoc networks, only infrastructure. Your laptop can do both.
Look around the forums here for the ad-hoc fix.
thanks
Thank you for the response, I will have to check around to find that fix.
I know that I have looked into this before and that Android Gingerbread and ICS did not have the ability to connect to a wireless Ad-Hoc network with shared internet connection. I read some places that this was supposed to be included in JB, but I am still unable to see any wireless Ad-Hoc networks when I create one using Win7.
I just work in a remote location with little to no 3g and definitely no 4g....it would be awesome if I could share the wired connection on my laptop. I know that there are 3rd party "virtual router" applications that can accomplish this, but it is a corporate laptop and I cannot install anything on it. Thanks!
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
