Hi genius, I use this software " My WIFI Router " to create a wifi hotspot on my laptop. The setting of this software I want to learn What's the difference between WPS and WPA?
WPA = wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Access
WPS = en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Setup
Difference between WPA and WPS
Hi,
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a security technology for wireless computer networks and it improves the security features of WEP.
WPS (Wi-Fi protected setup) basically allows users to secure a wireless home network.

I looked into other topics on this forum and didn't find an answer so I hope someone could help me out.
I want to share my PC Broadband Connection through a wireless device (MSI US60SE) so I can browse internet on my LG O1 when I'm at home. I am aware things might be easier with a WiFi router ... but far as it goes this is what I tried, not looking fwd to buy a wireless router at the moment.
Over Broadband Connection > Properties > Sharing I selected "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection" and over > Home networking connection < I selected "Wireless connection" and I hit OK.
I set up an ad-hoc internet sharing with a name and password WEP2.
I activated the connections... broadband and ad-hoc. For the 2nd one there was a note "Awaiting connections" a green light was blinking ... so it was on...
I activated the WiFi on my LG O1 P500 and surprise.... there was no sign of my ad-hoc sharing connection. I tried to add it... and there was a note "Not in range"
MSI US60SE is an USB wireless adapter, 802.11b/g, 108Mbs and far as I know Optimus One P500 has WiFi 802.11b/g
Here are some info about the MSI:
Networking
Connectivity Technology Wireless
Data Link Protocol IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, 802.11 Super G
Spread Spectrum Method OFDM, DSSS
Data Transfer Rate 108 Mbps
Line Coding Format DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK, OFDM
Frequency Band 2.4 GHz
Max Range Open Space 830 m

Encryption Algorithm AES, 128-bit WEP, 64-bit WEP, 152-bit WEP, TKIP, WPA, WPA2
Compliant Standards CE, FCC
If I would want to connect my PC through the MSI US60SE I can see the same WiFi (locked) connection I get on my P500
Can anyone explain if I messed up somewhere or if the US60SE is capable of acting as a WiFi router so I could share my PPOE via US60SE to connect my P500
Thanks!
Dude by default android doesn't. Search in the forum you will find a post with a zip file flash it and u can see the adhoc network. Or if using win7 use connnectify

Thanks for the tip... I got the answer here. I didn't search using adhoc... well my O1 runs Froyo 2.2.2 and I need to root, for that need to downgrade to 2.2.0... so guess is easier to get a WiFi router or go out downtown fishing for unsecured connections )
[Q] How can I check who is connecting to my (stock) wifi hotspot?
Is there any way I could also block/kick certain users / devices from accessing the hotspot?
i think that is not possible, but you check who is connected in wifi in the router itself, it will show the mac address.....and you can filter those mac address in the router itself.....
There are phone settings:
......../ portable wifi hotspot settings / ok / configure / change security to WPA2 PSK / enter password & save
Now only those with the password can connect

My school has a 802.1x wifi that can only be accessed with a user id and password (no WEP key) i can see the network but it shows it as having WEP security instead of the 802.1x it is
I created my own profile making it 802.1x security however after it was made it just showed that it was out of range even though it was well in range. i even downloaded advanced configuration editor from the app store and played with the settings but it was still a no go..
has anyone had any similar problems or a possible solution for me??
Maybe you need to install a certificate before you can connect? Take a look at the help pages on your university's wifi setup page or something, it might guide you for that.
there's an app called "Full Wifi" by sharkmob which has EAP support and my daughter used that at her college, but she doesn't have a GSIII....
Does your university have instructions for different operating systems? If they have a linux section, that should let you know what you need. In my case it's 802.1x EAP with TTLS for EAP method and PAP for the phase 2 authentication.
Sharing 3G/4G Internet connection on Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP connected with Android mobile phone via WiFi HOTSPOT or USB LAN or 3G/4G USB modem datacard , and then use the wireless Wifi router as a WiFi access point for the other devices.
1) Setting up the router
Router WAN will not be connected to any modem, *** NOTHING ON ROUTER WAN PORT (NO INTERNET VIA PPPoE DSL , STATIC OR DYNAMIC IPs) but it will made to act as Access Point for "sharing" the shared internet connection on Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP.
First, one needs to access the wireless Wifi router's configuration settings, usually one need to connect the Wifi router, and then access its setup page either over WiFi network, or by plugging it to desktop or laptop in 1 of its 4 LAN ports. setup page is accessible by entering the router's IP address 192.168.1.1 on IE address bar or some other browser like Firefox etc. however consider your router's manual to see how to get to the settings. Ideally, resetting the wireless Wifi router and then following its setup guide would best way start off.
Once on Wireless Wifi router's settings do the following:
a) Enable the Wifi connection. It should be enabled by default, but some routers require you to manually enable it.
b) Secure your network. Under security options, there should be a way for you to specify a password for your new wireless network. Here you will have multiple options, probably WEP, WPA and WPA2. Set up either WEP or WPA/WPA2 security. WPA2 would be best if your router supports it. Consider having a look at the router's manual for that.
c) Disable DHCP. Look for a setting that says something about automatic addressing (or "DHCP"). Which is enabled by default, disable it – ****this is most important!
d) Connect the router to Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP. The LAN port of Desktop should be connected to 1 out of router's 4 LAN ports via RJ45 cable. Wireless Wifi router will have one WAN internet Modem port at the back designated only for modems, as mentioned above do not use connect anything to this port so-called WAN port.
Once above steps are done Wireless Wifi router is all set.
2) Enable connection sharing
• Now if you have 3G/4G dongle data card then insert it into USB port of Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP
Go to "Network Connections"; locate your “3G modem” connection
Right click and select "Properties"
Select "Advanced"
Enable "Internet Connection Sharing"
One should be able to share it over Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP LAN interface connected to wireless router or share it over Wifi card connected to Wireless router.
• If you have 3G/4G Internet connection on Android mobile phone connected USB port of Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP
Go to "Network Connections"; locate "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" connection
Right click and select "Properties"
Select "Advanced"
Enable "Internet Connection Sharing"
One should be able to share it over Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP LAN interface connected to wireless router or share it over Wifi card connected to Wireless router.
• If you have 3G/4G Internet connection on Android mobile phone connected via Android mobile HOTSPOT to Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP
Go to "Network Connections", locate Wifi adapter e.g. "Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter" connection connected to Android mobile HOTSPOT
Right click and select "Properties"
Select "Advanced"
Enable "Internet Connection Sharing"
One should be able to shared it over Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP LAN interface connected to wireless router or if you two wifi wireless adapter card then share it over 2nd Wifi card connected to Wireless router.
Once done you are all set to rock the network by connecting other Desktops/PCs/NOTEBOOKs/LAPTOPs/Android/windows/Apple/blackberry’s phones and other devices to Wifi wireless router Access point that you had set up. Your devices should acquire an IP address and be able to connect to the internet with any issues. Windows will lease out more than just one address when using windows ICS!
Prior to Android 9 the WIFI gateway IP was always static, now it changes upon hotspot creation. Now it can be set to static?
Alternatively, can I use some hostname of the device where hotspot is created to resolve its IP to the clients of the hotspot?
@elmmm
What do you mean with "hotspot creation"?
My understanding is that a Wi-Fi hotspot is the wireless access points, typically in public locations, that provide Internet access to mobile devices such as your smartphone when you are away from your home.

I mean sharing Android device's internet connection. At least on my devices it's also called Wifi Hotspot.
