USB WiFi Dongle not Working? - Remix OS for PC

I've installed the pre-rooted version of remix and it's working fine apart from I can't get my little usb wifi dongle to work.
Has anyone any ideas? I can't use ethernet unfortunately.
Thanks

Same issue! Installed Remix, rooted it manually, everything seemed to be perfect until I discovered I had no way of connecting to the Internet. It's a no-go!
There's a related thread on reddit(r/RemixOS/comments/49ahbx/how_to_connect_my_4g_lte_modem_to_remix_pc_rooted) that I'm following, not much there though. Someone on there recommended to tether Wifi, but I can't imagine running a second machine to do as a hotspot. That's just stupid and a waste of energy and not how things should be.
It's frustrating!:crying:
What's your dongle? XD Mine is the "famous" E3372/4G & I am with an Asian carrier.

There's a widget called PPP2 that works fine on many android devices but it isn't working on Remix. I submitted a post to the PPP2 forum:

Hi,
Firstly ,i have 2 x mini wi fi dongles .
they have usb options ( Huawei E5520 and a Vodafone lte .
Both connect to my laptop ( buildt in wifi ) No issues overall .
Also i can use my phone Note5 modem 3G/4G as a wifi hotspot and connect to laptop (Remix os ) .No issues ,works fine .This i did before and after rooting .
Maybe an option ?
good luck

I don't know if my windows phone supports usb tethering but I'll have a look. Cheers!

The dev of PPP2 responded to my post from yesterday. Seems like PPP widget won't work with my dongle(E3372) and many others which do not support PPP. Ugh!
quote:
"This is a problem of the modems used, not of the OS.
The modems mentioned do not provide a PPP port, so they don't work with PPP Widget 2."
If PPP won't work, then I don't know... If you find a way, please share. Until then, Remix is pretty much useless.

Please if anyone is having a. Solution please tell...
I am using tp link to connect to WiFi but wifi not working.. Please anyone help me.. I want it to verify Gameloft games.... I use Ethernet now.. Need WiFi connection to play Gameloft game on the first run.. Please help me.. At least tell me a workaround to fake WiFi connectivity over Ethernet...

Unplug your dongle and plug it back in, then reboot. Its worked for me a couple times.

I tried a different dongle and it worked fine.

does anyone got a solution for reverse tethering ?
i had a htc wildfire S and it has an option "Relais internet" it appears auto when usb cable connected. it connects my phone to computers internet.
Iam really so disappointed to don't see this feature on SGS2
and PLZZZZZZZZZ for people who ask why don't use wifi.
well I have a 3G connexion in my computer ( no rooter just a usb 3G network adapter). and my computer wireless card intel 4965AGN IT DOESNT SUPPORT hosted network which means no way to create a wifi hotspot (or use connectify or virtual rooter because its the same thing as creating a hosted network)
ad-hoc network can't be detected also with my sgs2 with official firmware JB 4.1.2 (XWLSD)
could anyone help please.
Thank you

Well there was a "reverse tether" app...
I had it but haven't tried it anytime coz I don't have internet on my PC anymore...so don't know for sure if it works..
It might just work for you...
I know this is very frustrating..has happened to me too when I had just purchased the phone...hadn't got any solution at that time so ended up purchasing a WiFi router..
Press thanx if I helped...

Try this thread (don't know if this works on SGS2 or not as I've never tried/needed it, but it's a good starting point for you to investigate further).

[Q]wifi direct on p500.

Is it possible to have wifi direct on our phone?
Your question not clear.
anyway there is software connectify http://connectify.me/
It has has the feature of wifi hotspot that can be enabled on any pc or laptop having wifi and win 7 OS, so that you can connect any wifi enabled phone to wifi network you created.

wat do u mean??
With wifi direct,we can transfer files between two devices without connecting to internet,just like bluetooth.Take a look at this video:

hmm.....no idea if it will work on p500 as it requires adhoc network but it is supported on ICS so i guess we will have to wait for our awesome developers to port ICS to our phone and then only we can use it...
optimus black has wifi direct tho... http://www.viddler.com/explore/engadget/videos/2313/
You can make a WiFi hotspot either on your computer or your Optimus, connect them and then configure a FTP Server. I think SwiFTP should work fine (It works for me and it's free on the market). As for the computer - search DMOZ.com or see this.

complicated much??? but yeah thats a pretty gud idea
---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------
for phone to comp file transfer there are tons of solutions to try out
Aha, I was reading the ICS features and about to poke around the ICS porting thread to see if anyone mentions this. It'd be nice to have something that functions like "Chrome2Phone" without going through 3rd party.
woudnt it b easier to port wifi-direct from the optimus black???
i know this is a very old post but since it was unanswered i thought id respond.
Wifi Direct(As far as i know) is a hardware feature and hence cannot be ported and since our phone does not have that hardware it is not possible to use this tech even with ics.
Its great to see this stuff rolling out finally.

To answer questions and dispel myths. This is not hardware based, but software based. Plus only one device in the pair needs to have the software.
Basically, Bluetooth will be a thing of the past very soon. This is a software implementation that anything with a wifi can do.

Actually,me and my friend transfer files over wifi by turning on tethering on one device(xperia x8,without enabling data) and i connect to the hotspot(O1).Then we use a software called ip messenger on market to transfer files over wifi and we get speeds over 8mbps.This isnt wifi direct but adhoc can do almost the same thing.And yes wifi direct is software based but afaik,it needs wifi n standard to work,which our phone doesnt have.Correct me if i'm wrong.

Share wifi connection android to laptop ??? !!!

Hi All,
I have a old laptop which is not supporting wifi, I am using network cable to connecting internet on the laptop. also I am using wifi modem on my home to share internet to computer and my android mobile.
My question is, can i able to use my android mobile as data card to share wifi connection to my old laptop ???
Thanks,
didnt get you, first you said that your laptop doesnt support Wifi
and again you're saying that u want to share your phone's net via wifi hotspot?
be more specific
Whilst I've never tried to use it the Neo supports USB tethering so yes sharing a connection from phone to the PC through USB should definitely be possible.

I don't think a WiFi router, which you have, will can act as a WiFi receptor, So that is quite hopeless.. But you can still use USB tethering to just connect your phone via USB and get connected to the Internet.

Tethering works both ways as far as I know though I've never tried.

Tethering means that you can use ONLY TO SHARE internet from Android to PC,it's not working to share Internet from PC to Android. (that is called reverse tethering).

How can you use Wi-Fi adapter on old laptop ???
Plug it into the usb.......
It must have one of them right?
Sent from my MT11i using Tapatalk
It works exactly like a Bluetooth adapter,insert the bluetooth adapter into usb port,and you have bluetooth on your pc. With wi-fi adapter it's the same thing,insert it in usb port and you'll have wi-fi capabilities (both ways: phone-pc and pc-phone).I'm currently using an usb adapter to share internet from pc to phone.
i think i get what hes asking
is it possable to use the wifi from the phone over usb so not useing data from mobile network
You mean u want to use ur phone as a wifi adapter? There is an app called PdaNet for that.
New version:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pn.helper&hl=en
Old version:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdanet&feature=related_apps#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLnBkYW5ldCJd(not recommended)
I have been trying to do the same thing but unsuccessfully.
Basically my phone is connected to the internet through wifi, and I want to share this via bluetooth.
The problem seems to be that with android, tethering can only share your 3g/4g but not wifi.
Apparently apps such as pdanet, foxfi, can solve this, but i havent been able to get it to work =(

[Q] My USB Tethering doesn't work on HTC Amaze 4g

Hi!
I just recently installed speedrom 8.0 and I've never been able to use usb tethering. I can see it on my network but is says no internet access and the internet on my pc stop working until I pull the usb wire. Usb tethering was working really well when I was on stock rom but now it just won't let me. Can somebody help me?
Thanks!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332627
this is the post about wi-fi tethering but you can use some of the instruction in your problem...just try to dig deep in that post!:fingers-crossed:
I would suggest trying a new ROM had the same issues with that one. Great ROM otherwise . hotspot works good.

Add WiFi to Android 6.0 Build ?

Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone can take a look at a keypad (tablet) that runs on Android 6.0. It has no WiFi, just works over POE w\Injector. Wondering if we can WiFi to this Androind build. You can PM me for details.
thanks
Bump.. Anyone interested? The issue is since the tablet is hardwared the apps need WiFi to connect. Not sure why the apps need WiFi, since the tablet is already online, can browse internet, etc. IE; If I launch the Sonos App, it ask me to enable WiFi. It wont connect using the hardware POE connection.
Here is the build info to this device.
http://specdevice.com/showspec.php?id=b4e2-54ec-0033-c5870033c587
@sweethip
PoE is Ethernet and not Wireless ( Wi-Fi ): Your tablet does't support Wi-Fi connection because it hasn't an inbuilt Wi-Fi antenna .
@jwoegerbauer
Thanks for the response.. Yes it does have it built in.. it's just disabled or removed from the latest build.
I am asking to see if someone can take a look and see if they can re-enable it since I am not familiar with android devolpment.
Is that a limit on android apps not working over Ethernet ? Don't get why the apps won't work even though it's connected online.
