I've looked in the forums but can't find anything on this subject. Here's my question.
I'm at my Parents house and they have one computer that's hooked up to a broadband connection. I have a laptop and they don't have a router or wifi.
Is there a way to plug my phone in and use it as a wireless router using their internet connection?
Oh and I would use my phones internet but the signal is pretty much zero in the neighborhood. Still haven't put up that cell phone tower.
I'm using NFS Rom on my Touch Pro CDMA from Alltel..well now Verizon
Has anyone else had issues with the strength of the wi-fi signal on this phone? When I'm in certain areas of my house, I will have severe lag with browsing, with the People hub, etc. Music and video will stream poorly, with heavy buffering. Basically, I get all the signs of low signal. The problem is, I've never had a problem with other phones I've used, including an HD7, Dell Venue Pro, Nexus S, Nokia N8, etc.
I tested the WiFi signal in these areas, and I get back a consistent signal between 70dbm - 80dbm, so I have a moderate amount of signal to work with. Has anyone else noticed poor WiFi coverage with this phone? Should I get it exchanged?
Same. Something is definitely fishy with the wi-fi on this device. It seems to come and go, and manifests as poor or even no wi-fi capability even when the phone says it is connected to a strong wi-fi signal.
I frequently cannot get a solid Tango video call going between 2 Radars on my home wi-fi network. Pretty frustrating seeing "network problems" and getting a choppy experience when both phones are on wi-fi with full signal strength.
My WiFi is solid with my N router
Today is my first day with the radar and I'm noticing WiFi issues. I think though some of it is related to Zune WiFi sync connecting...

For the people connected to 802.11n routers, are your routers in pure N mode?
The Radar I have can connect to my 802.11g router no problem but can't even find my 802.11n. I'm thinking it doesn't have N connectivity...
Just asking.
Mine is BGN

I found out my particular problem is the Windows Phones only work on the 2.4ghz (currently used on my 802.11g router) band and not the 5ghz (my 802.11n router) band.
Now I know.
To the OP, this 2.4ghz band is usually crowded so maybe where you are going in your house, your phone is meeting with interference (land line wireless phone, neighbors wi-fi, etc...).

I don't think it's an interference issue, as every other device I own has no such issues, including 3 other Windows Phones (Dell Venue Pro, HD7 Omnia 7). And despite already using the channel with the least interference, I've tried switching that around as well. To me, there is clearly something not performing correctly in regards to the WiFi radio on this device.
Hello,
I can browse internet only in room with router and near router rooms.
Will i able to use wifi in any room in house with this device(s) ?

Sv: Can wifi repeater resolve room wifi ?
Yes,it will help. I have one, but not same model and it increased a lot my wifi range. I can have my Prime connected to my house Internet with full bars anywhere I am inside the house. It is a very cheap solution as I got mine for something like $65.

Hi,
My Galaxy S3 doesn't switch to the strongest wireless-AP/network.
I've got a repeater router and modem at my place, and it keeps losing signal because it doesn't switch to the strongest WiFi ap automatically. Even my 3GS does this.
I have to de-activate, then re-activate wifi every time I go to a different part of the house.
Is there a way to lower it's "tolerance" of a weak signal?
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this?
Thanks
So I am on t-mobile, and I also have one of the routers provided to me by t-mobile (I believe it's an Asus) , and I have noticed recently that my wifi calling has been sucking big time. It cuts in and out and says I need to connect to a wifi network, when I am connected. It's like it doesn't notice that there is a wifi connection. Anyone have suggestions as to what might help?
What is your isp bandwidth (down/up)?

WiFi calling on Android is hit and miss. I wish it was as stable as Blackberry UMA calling.
I tried the old turn it on and off again on the modem and router and it seems to have helped quite a bit.
Unfortunately, I have this issue for a quite while. Funny thing wifi calling works smoothly on pixel or essential phone!
How old is the router?
The router's WiFi radio maybe showing its age by being intermittent with its throughput's strength and/or signal's strength.
Try with newer router or access point. If there is a coffee shop with very good throughput strength (this is most important) you can do a test with that hotspot.
