I have a Bluetooth PAN set up successfully between my AT&T Tilt and HP Laptop with Bluetooth stack 5.1.0.3000. I am able to use Internet Sharing and connect to the internet from my laptop.
Everything works internet wise, however I need to change the DHCP settings on the Tilt. It is set to work in the 192.168.0.x range, but my corporate VPN has problems with this IP range. I need to change it to any other private range.
I searched quite a bit for this information but couldn't find it. Any tips?
I remember that I had a similar problem in the past as wanted to connect my WM6 Hermes via BT to the laptop, then share that connection over the laptop's wifi. But internet sharing on Windows forces the destination adapter (Wifi in that case) to use 192.168.0.x, so I had to change that on the Hermes. If I remember well, all I did was go to Wifi settings->network adapters, selecting BT PAN Driver, and manually assign 192.168.2.1. It seemed the DHCP followed as I could connect the laptop fine without having to give it a fixed IP address. Not sure if that still works on WM6.1, but if it doesn't just use a fixed IP in that subnet on the laptop's BT NIC. I guess you don't use it everyday to connect to other BT networks anyway.
I just tried on my WM6.1 Kaiser and it works the way it did. Just change the IP in the BT PAN interface, and the DHCP will follow.
I'm now posting this from my desktop PC that is connected through Ethernet to my wireless access point, which connects wirelessly to my laptop, which has its bluetooth PAN shared onto Wifi and connected to the Kaiser, which connects to EDGE. Phew.
So the path is EDGE->Kaiser(192.168.2.1)->laptop via BT(got 192.168.2.221 via DHCP)->AP via Wifi (192.168.0.1 via windows internet sharing)->desktop via Ethernet (got 192.168.0.233 via DHCP).
This is exactly what I needed and works perfectly! Thank you!
Hello.
Since XDA is the only forum I'm loyal to I decided to ask you guys.
I've get my broadband directly from ethernet ports integrated in my walls, and all those ports are connected to a switch. The problem is that I've got a wifi router that I'd like to use so I can connect my laptop and my phone to the network, which works fine if I connect it to one of the ports in my walls, but I also have a XBox 360 connected to one of these ports. And since I always stream music and video from my laptop to my XBox this gives me a problem.
I've temporarily solved this by setting up the router right beside my XBox and hooking the XBox to the router, and it works fine, but I can't connect to the wifi if I leave my livingroom.
Also tried to connect the router inbetween the switch and the cables that goes to the wall ports, but this was totally useless because then I only had acceptable wifi connection in my hallway and my kitchen.
So my question is this, is there anyway to have the router connected to one of these ethernet ports, my computer connected to the router and the XBox connected to another ethernet port and get them to be able to communicate?
EDIT: Disabled DHCP on the router as I've found in a guide, but that was only possible to do on the LAN part of the router, no such setting on the wireless page, so still the same problem.
Sounds a bit compilcated I guess, but I think it should be possible to use this router as some kind of extender for the already existing network.

Tell me, how large is your living room again? -____-
Jk, alright, from my point of view, just place the router at the farthest point between those three gadgets, and buy a wifi extender for the other two. That thing just a couple of bucks anyway. Problem solved. No need for another router.
What is your switch currently connected to for internet access?
If you have it hooked to a modem, then it is probably a 1 port router/modem since you don't have problems drawing an ip on your other items.
You are on the right track. Turning off DHCP is correct. There is no dhcp on the wireless portion so don't look for it. Then you want to set your wireless router with a static ip on your lan side so you can get into it if you need(use something out of the normal range like xxx.xxx.xxx.200). Make sure the static IP is part of your LAN subnet. Those two things turn your wireless router into a switch/wireless access point. From here on out forget about the WAN or Internet port on the router. Use only the LAN ports.
You can now use this wifi router anywhere you want. Place it where you get the best wireless signal.
Wire things up this way wherever you place it:
Connect wall ethernet port to one of the LAN ports. Then connect any other devices needing internet access to the other LAN ports.(Computer, XBOX, whatever...)
Then connect wirelessly with your wireless device.
If you need to modify the router settings, you can browse to xxx.xxx.xxx.200 ( or whatever you set the router static lan ip to) from your computer .
Any devices that need DHCP will draw the address from further upstream from the modem/router.
I live in a two floor appartment with the router on the second floor, most of the building is made of concrete, my router is on the second floor, and i have excellent reception all over the place.
- How long is your cable (from the router to the wall 1 meter? 5? Make it as short as possible)
- Are you using 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz? The most common frequency is 2.4, so if your neighbours are using 2.4, it might disrupt your connection from time to time, so try to change the channel.
- Move the router if your wireless phone or any wireless things are operating on 2.4 GHz nearby. They will disrupt the signal.
Oy..... I forgot to tell him to get Wi-Fi Analytics from the play store to check his signal and find the best channel to use.
When a device wants to connect to the school wifi it has to log in through a web browser. Because of this, my chromecast wont connect to the internet. It connects to the wifi, but cannot access the internet. Is there anything I can do?
Use another computer that lets you spoof your MAC address, change your MAC to match the chromecast, connect to WiFi and log into your school's gateway page, disconnect your computer and change the MAC back, and connect the chromecast.
Sometimes you can call the provider and they will hook it up on the end. I've had to do this several times with xbox

I had a similar problem, but I couldn't even connect to the wifi because it required my username and password for the wifi. So I bought a $15 router from newegg and it's working wonderfully. Plus, plugging into the ethernet in my room is faster and the connection is more solid. Definitely worth it.
What if I only have 802.11N router with access point and I want to set old router off and connect G2 to my desktop PC by 802.11AC 5GHz WiFi? Will some cheap USB stick do the trick or I must only buy new Dual Band 802.11AC with access point?
If USB stick will work which one is better, Linksys WUSB 6300 AC1200, TP-LINK Archer T4U, or Netgear AC1200 A6210 or ASUS USB-AC56?
I have a brand new raspi zero w and im not able to find my routers SSID in the WIFI settings. Otherwise, I can connect to any other WIFI in the building but mine. I dont know what is the problem but creating an AP with my phone and sharing my data allows me to connect my raspberry to the internet. Does anyone now why my router is not shown? Ive always been able to connect any device to it. The router model is Comtrend VG-8050. Thank you!
