I have a HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690 on regular Windows 10 that I do keep updated regularly and I use PDANet USB tether (I dont have unlimited tether and no other phone service has working service where I live). Recently an update to Windows 10 has completely crippled my USB Tether speeds using PDANet. Ive switched cables, uninstalled and reninstalled usb drivers, tried the TCP offloading thing, made sure my power mangament options were off on all usb ports, even tried 3 different other phones, to NO avail. My tether speeds used to be 20 to 30 mbps down and 5 to 10 mbps up and now the speeds are at a crippling 7 mbps down and 2 mbps up and randomly stops working (it doesnt disconnect per say but websites time out, upload stops uploading, etc, also all the phones tether the excact 7 down 2 up which rules out phones, usb port and cable issues). I did NOT have this problem before and sadly I cant undo the update so now Im stuck with this broken update. I need to use my limited wifi hotspot for things so using PDANet's wifi option is a no go, Clockworkmod hasnt been updated in years and just chugs at this point, Easytether while having faster speeds is so unstable with it's connection that it is still to this day unusable.
Note the only usbs I use is for USB Tether, mouse and keyboard.
How do I go about fixing my USB Tether issues with PDANet. It seems that whatever this update did has bottlenecked the usb speed and I need to uncork it somehow.

Ok here is a question my brother asked me so here it is " can you tether a ps2 and a nintendo ds " so can you tether them
Droid Eris
Plainjane1 with ota 2.1
and evil Eris 2.0.1
Tether them to the Eris?
You can wireless tether the Nintendo DS if you are a rooted user. You cannot tether to the PS2 unless there is a wireless adaptor for the PS2 that I don't know about.
Oh god I never even thought about tethering a DS... yesssssssssssssssssssss
no.
the ds (either one of the 3 iterations) do NOT support ad-hoc networking.
the ps2 does. but you'll need to hook it up a certain way.
first you need a laptop (or any computer, laptops just make it all portable) and a "CAT 5E Crossover Cable" radioshack has them,... I have not had much luck looking anywhere else. if I remember it was like 13 bucks for a 9 footer or something)
1. either plug your phone into your pc for wired tethering, or just use wifi tethering
2. make sure you have a solid connection.
3. plug the crossover cable into your pc's ethernet port and then into your PS2's
4. go into network/connection settings, and go to change adapter settings
5. bridge your phone's connection to your LAN port.
you now have internet on your PS2
I used to do this when I didnt have a long enough cable for the 360 that was in the other room. just plug in my laptop, get it on wifi, and bridge. no need to buy that ridiculously priced add-on.
now, if you have an extra router around, you MIGHT MIGHT MIGHT be able to actually plug that crossover cable from your computer into the router as if it were any other internet connection, then just proceed to set up the router as usual. you might be able to put out a wifi connection for the DS. it shouldn't be an ad-hoc network that way, so the DS MIGHT recognize it. I have never tried it myself.
my biggest bum about it all is that I hae a zune pass, the unlimited music for a monthly fee deal? I was so hoping i could just turn on wifi tethering and hook up my zune with some nonstop internet downloading. sadly, it was never meant to be.
Well no real need for a crossover cable just bridge and set it to auto ip and dns xp and higher will split the up for you and share the wifi. I do this for Skype and netflixs on my ps3.also works on 360. Hope this helped a bit...poor geeks wifi trick when on the road or at home lol

I usually just use Mobile AP from my Vibrant to my Tab, but I'm wondering if USB tethering will get me faster speeds? My signal at work sucks, so if the usb tethering would be faster, I'd like to order the adapter. Thank you.
If you are talking about your cell signal sucking, then it wouldnt matter if you were tethering via usb or wifi.
I tether to my tab from my old htc hero and the speeds are 3gish. The battery just doesn't last too long.
I've been searching the forums, but didn't find this exact question. I want to tether my rooted NT to my non-rooted droid 3 phone to provide 3g internet access when I'm not around a wifi connection using a USB cable connecting the two (I have a USB female to male micro USB adapter to connect the nook cable to the phone). I would prefer not to root my phone and not use the mobile hotspot or pay verizon an extra $30/mo, etc. I have used Easy Tether for my phone and laptop previously and it has worked well. I've looked at pdanet and pdanet tablet, but it wants to use bluetooth which has not been enabled on the NT yet. Is there any way to even do this yet until the USB hosting is enabled on the NT?
This is not the answer you are looking for, but I have been using WiFi tethering from my T-Mobile MyTouch 4G (with CM7) for a few days now.
If you could tether via USB and not get in trouble with VZ, I don't see why you couldn't do the same via WiFi. Since you would be tethering to another Android device instead of to a laptop, I wouldn't think that even if VZ is checking the data going through the phone, they would notice anything all that different, since both devices are running Gingerbread.
You'd have to put a WiFi tethering app on the Droid, which may require you to root. My MyTouch 4G came with WiFi Tethering capability from the get-go, so perhaps you can find a non-root WiFi app to let you do it.
wifi tethering works but I dont think USB will because B and N didnt put the drivers for the nook to recognize another android device... or rather any device except a computer through USB. They stripped many things out of this Android OS

I was able to do so but I had to play with the configurations of the phone (not root it) since it was a connection thing and not touching the OS on the phone. I work for the company so I have access on how to do so. However that being said I deactivated which I will explain below.

Carriers can tell the difference on what is using what. This is why AT&T surprised their customers by billing them for tethering usage on their network. It has nothing to do with whether both devices are Gingerbread or not but how the traffic is moving on the network. It simply requires a sniffer. Also, I removed my phone fix when I found out that Verizon is also planning on doing the same thing AT&T has already done; wouldn't be good if they discovered many of their employees are doing this. The two carriers normally follow suit. I'm just surprised that both have taken so long to respond since they are loosing revenue. I think it's a ridiculous charge and customers shouldn't have to pay for the service that was already built in. If the user has a plan then it should be based on their data plan not on how they are using on connecting nodes to it.
If you look in the forums there is a special driver that has been ported over from the Nook Color and rewritten for the tablet. It allows for an Ad-hoc or device to device connection via wifi. That would solve the problem with the Wifi issue. Be careful however because it is an advanced procedure requiring you to be rooted and install root explorer and copy over the new wifi driver... Good Luck!
Over the last couple of days I have had lots of trouble connecting to the internet with my win 7 laptop using the wireless tethering option on my galaxy s2 read all the forums on it and notice that no one has a fix during this time I noted that my XOOM has no trouble up until I tried with the laptop this got me thinking so I got out my daughters laptop that is running kubuntu 11 and that has no issues surfing over the phones wireless tethering switch on my win 7 laptop and all three now have no internet and the tethering app has an error when you try to switch it off, reboot phone leave my win 7 laptop off and linux laptop and android XOOM connect to wireless tethering again with no problems surfing. I try this same scenario with my wife laptop and same thing. Now just a note the wife daughter and son all have the huawei and we can all connect to the internet via wireless tethering on all devices so what gives
Hi all,
First post - here goes.....
One of the primary reasons I got the SGS3 (UK 3 network) was to get broadband at home - where I live (deep dark west cornwall) I cant get decent internet via the fixed landline yet I found (and tested) that with a yaggi antenna on my roof and a repeater I can get ridicoulously fast mobile data (10Mb/s) thorugh my SGS3 whereas my landline (which I pay alot for) can barely reach 1Mb/s.
Anyway from tests so far it "seems" that connecting via USB tethering is faster than setting up a wifi hotspot however every time I connect using USB tethering it sets up a new network (I am now on Network 68!!!) on my computer - Maybe this isn't a problem but it really annoys me. By this time next year I'll be on Network one thousand and something which knowing MS will clog things up. Also tethering via USB cable has really varied connection times - sometimes it takes 5 minutes before its all recognised and running.
Wifi tethering is really quick and simple - It connects instantly but "seems" to provide slower internet on my computer compared with USB tethering.
What is really odd is that if I do a speed test on my phone using Speedtest.net app on my phone I get 8-10Mb/s but if I run a speed checker on my tethered laptop it isn't as fast. Is there any mod/fix I can apply so that when I am at home and tethered the speed is "channeled" as optimally as possible to my laptop?
Best regards
