Does anyone know if it is possible to use Galaxy Note 2 as a wired modem?
I know about wifi tethering and I don't want that.
I know about PDAnet type wares that allow usb tethering to a PC. I don't want that either.
I would like to convert the the usb tethering output of the the Note 2 into Ethernet and be able to plug it into any wireless router.
OR
Maybe there is someway to use a wireless router (DD-WRT based) with a usb port that could be configured as wan that would accept usb tethering from Note 2?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
I dont think this would be possible unless you somehow rigged a cable to go from your phone usb on one end to a ethernet port on the other that could transfer internet without a third part program I have a dual band router with a usb port but it seem to only work for like hdds or printers

Maybe I'm missing something, but why not just use the mobile Hotspot to connect to.
Is there a reason it has to be a wired connection? If you must have to have it connected to a router couldn't you just set a router up with dd-wrt and have it set in repeater mode to rebroadcast the hotspot signal.

It don't work that way. I'm assuming you don't have internet at your house so your trying to get on line using your data connection from your phone? If you have a pc tether to your pc with your phone. Connect PS3 to pc also using a BRIDGING Ethernet cable. Once tethered and connected go to Network Connections on your pc. Right click wireless settings(if your tethered wireless) and select the sharing tab and check the box that says share connection. Done. If your tethered through usb then you would just do the same steps except for your LAN connection. Should be able to boot up PS3 and connect if all went well. These instructions are the same for xbox360 also. Also just for fun if you happen to have wireless router you can follow those steps above as well except you would connect the router directly to the pc. That way it when you tether to your pc with your phone the signal will be transferred to the wireless router therefore extending your WiFi.

so your saying theres no was to connect my ps3 to my phone wirelessly. my mytouch 4g (glacier) does it but im guesing your saying since the eris didnt come with it i cant do it.
Is there a way to tether the Thunderbolt with the MBR1200 or any type of Cradlepoint router? I saw on Cradlepoint's forums the Incredible and Blackberries were not officially supported but would work and that almost all Android devices should work as well.
Why not root and use a wireless tether app? That way you don't need a router
I am rooted and have the wireless tether app. I was hoping to be able to use my TB to connect my xbox to live without having to use internet connection sharing on my pc.
Another option would be to get a WiFi antenna for your xbox.

Trying to hook up to evo here as well.
I know it's ndis device just like the mogul and ps2 were. I don't know why they are able to but the evo and the sister models aren't working on it. Specially since evo has been out a year. if they need a ata diagnostic to see the activation lines I'd be more then willling to do one and copy the info to them.
HTC Thunderbolt w/ Cradlepoint MBR1200
I own a Cradlepoint MBR 1200 and was thinking about purchasing an HTC Thunderbolt to connect to this router so I could have unlimited 4G data. Is it possible to do this. I have not been able to get a clear answer.
I don't have 4G, but I will try to hook my T-bolt up to my MBR1000 later today and let you know what happens.
Subscribed. I have one of these at work that I have been working with. When connected to USB it cannot obtain an connection. It's like you need to edit modem settings or something. Of course if you back fed it into a PC in the WAN port you might be able to set up an outgoing connection.

I used Internet connection sharing on a pc and plugged the Ethernet cable into the wan port and it worked that way. I also bought a cheap wireless bridge and connected my Thunderbolt to it using the rooted wireless tether app so that I wouldn't have to have a computer always on to use the Thunderbolt's connection. It does seem that the problem with connecting it does have to do with the MBR not recognizing it but the MBR doesn't seem to recognize it is even plugged in, I read on Cradlepoint's site how to connect a Incredible to the router, but the Thunderbolt does not have the same connection choice as the Incredible does. If someone could figure out the difference between the connection types it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to make a app for this http://blog.cradlepoint.com/an-android-powered-cradlepoint-router.
I used the built-in wired tethering and it didn't work...yet...
When i get some more free time I'll try something like Easy Tether.
I'll see if I can find anything about modem settings as well...
Can someone please explain both portable hot spot and Wi-Fi tethering? And maybe how they would be useful to me. I am on T-Mobile . I have wireless internet and a laptop and iPad. Thanks in advance.

They are both similar things. Tethering means you can share your phone's data connection with a single computer via a USB cable or via Bluetooth. Hotspot means you can share your phone's data connection to connect 5 other devices to wifi.

I might have to use my Prime in a hotel that doesn't have WiFi, but only Ethernet internet connection. Can I use a WiFi bridge (e.g. Netgear WNCE2001) to connect to internet?
Yep.I have used similar item for years to keep my laptop mobile in hotel room. Will work the same.

Have you tried enabling the ad hoc network fix described in the Q&A section, then setting your LAN line adapter to "share" under your adapter settings on your laptop. Then create a adhoc wifi network between your laptop wifi adapter & your tablet. That way you're sharing your LAN line over wifi with your tablet.

Or grab one of the supported USB Ethernet adapters and plug that bad boy right into your dock
I have a Linksys WTR54GS just for those occasions.

Ah, but that defies the point. If I took a laptop with me, I wouldn't need my tablet. I want to travel light, and my laptop is big and heavy.

In another thread here I read you need modified ROM to use a USB/Ethernet adapter.

This is exactly what I need - a wireless travel router.
However, I'm going to buy a WiFi bridge for my wired network printer, which I want to move upstairs. This bridge connects to a WiFi network and allows wired devices to use it. So I'm going to have this device anyway. That's why I asked my original question.
But does a WiFi bridge work the other way around - as a router? My guess is not. If not, then I have to buy a separate device, like the one above. Is that correct?

There are some USB Ethernet adapters that work out of the box with the Prime. Others can be supported easily with a kernel module.
As far as the wifi brigde ...I actually have DD-WRT running on my WTR and it can function as a wireless bridge, client, or access point.
you can use 'connectify' to make your laptop as hotspot.
that way, you can connect the ethernet cable to your laptop, open connectify and you've a wifi connection.
If you have and android phone with root you could install wifi tether and just tether to your device. That's what I do at work.

Do you mean using phone's data connection? I'm going abroad, data roaming cost would kill me.
I recently busted my WiFi adapter and have been using an old phone to USB tether my WiFi connection and I was wondering if there was ever a way to port forward my PC's connection through the tether.
I found this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.bherbst.net&hl=en but it didn't seem to work for me unless I was doing it wrong.
