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

I've just got a S2 but i'm new to Android.
One of my major disapointements is the lack o AdHoc WIFI support, is there any way to get my phone to connect to my PC AdHoc network in order to share the pc internet connection ?
I've used to do this with windows mobile since version 6.
Still no news ??
Lack of Wifi AdHoc support is for me a major flaw on android.
I two would like to know this.
At work I have my laptop setup with an Ad-hoc wifi connection that my iPhone 4 used to connect to fine.
My GSii wont see it though.
Annoying as I have limited data to use each month and spend all day at work without access to decent wifi.
i hava the same problem please give us any thing to fix it
Hello, I'm looking at getting a Asus Transformer, and I have a Atrix with the unlimited data package. I want to be able to share my internet from my Atrix to the Transformer. I have check on getting the Android tablet to see Ad-Hoc networks but it seems their are some problems with doing that. is there anyway you can share the net over the bluetooth?
Why not turn your Atrix into a mobile hotspot ?? I would think that would be better than bluetooth. Oh never mind, you're on AT&T and have a tethering nanny ...
Hi all. I'm currently looking for a new phone and I'm pretty interested in the Galaxy SII.
I currently use a rooted Nook Color running CM7 as a tablet, and I want to connect it to my new phone via an infrastructure hotspot.
Can the Galaxy SII host infrastructure wifi, or adhoc only?
Forgive me if this has been asked before. I search of this forum for "infrastructure" didnt turn anything up.
Yes it can host a wifi hotspot, no idea about adhoc.

I know it can host a wifi hotspot, but what I'm curious about is whether that hotspot is ad-hoc or infrastructure. If it's adhoc I have to modify one of the WPA files on my nook, which DOES work, but it causes major instability and hassle.
I'd rather just make sure I get a device that supports infrastructure, and then I dont have to worry about it
hi fellows
i just installed a 4g device in my laptop for internet access. It working fine. Next i made the laptop a hotspot via adhoc connection and after that though internet is fine but i am unable to connect my samsung sii via wifi with it. Even though a friends iphone connected to my lappys hotspot but my phone doesn't and neither does it show that a hotspot/ wifi connections exists.
help
Ad Hoc was designed only for local connections, not Internet.
Use Connectify to make hotspot.

You need to setup a virtual router or if your laptop has a router you can share net via that, originally custom roms does not support ad hoc, but certain roms are modified to enable it.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.
Router has wlan infrastructure mode, not adhoc. It doesn't matter if the ROM supports it or not.
Has anyone been able to connect to a vpn, start wifi tethering, then access the internet with other connected devices?
I connect to a vpn fine on my galaxy s3 mini, start a wifi tether, connect my laptop to the wifi network, but the laptop never connects to the Internet.
A whole lot of people have this problem, and have not been able to find a work around.
I've tried the terminal thingy where you do iptables rputing and stuff, doesn't work, or maybe it was too complicated for me to carry out properly.
Anyone with a solution?
I have a perfectly rooted galaxy s3 mini amd im sure many other devices have this vpn wifi problem.
