How can I tether the phones wifi connection without using bluetooth is there an app that does this?
i believe that is not possible to do. pretty sure there are no apps for that.
Use this to tether your wifi connection to your laptop (if your laptop doesn't have a wifi card). This app tethers via usb cable, not wireless like anetshare and wifitether. (If you're trying to connect wirelessly to your phone to get the phone's wi-fi connection, then you're just weird)

Hello everybody..!I'm wondering how can i make my kaiser(tytn2) phone to connect my laptop to the Internet.What i want to say is that i have a Router on my desktop pc, so i go to my laptop and connect my tytn2 with the laptop via usb(activesync).I want to make laptop to connet to the internet via tytn2!So i want tytn2 to replace a wireles card that i could connect to my laptop via WiFi with this card!Someone who know the way to do it?
It's called tethering. Be careful of usage...if you don't pay for the tethering plan, many providers will charge you for going over a predetermined amount of data transfer. Used sparingly they'll never know.

I guess he wants to use Wifi, not mobile connnection. So, use the phone as a USB Wifi adapter...
I use WMWiFiRouter and it works very well. It creates a wireless access point that uses your phones data connection and requires no cords to tether. It even allows you to share your connection with more than one computer.

Is there a way to tether my phone to my pc, whilst also allowing my brother to tether wirelessly?
Or put another way, is it possible to set my phone up as a router?
Thanks.
Yes, but that requires rooting your phone first.
Unless you get PDAnet, which costs $$$
I know which option i would take.
I have rooted my phone, but If I use wired tether* to connect my pc, when my brother connects using wireless tether*, it stops working for me ¬¬
*The two tether apps that come with Modaco's Desire ROM
If I understand correctly, your brother has a wireless card in his laptop/desktop, and you do not.
If that's accurate, and you have a hub/router, and you're using Windows, just use Wired Tether, and then enable internet connection sharing on the RNDIS device on your box and connect both computers to the router using CAT-5 cable.
Complicated? Yeah.
If you both have bluetooth adapters, I would recommend Wireless Tether with 'Use Bluetooth' in the app Settings menu.
Failing all this, I think you can buy USB wireless b/g adapter for like $10-20 these days. Slap that sucker into your desktop and then just use Wireless Tether.
Just wondering if there is a way to tether to a computer with a wired connection to get Internet connection that way, instead of using wifi??? There is lots of apps and stuff that need to connect to the internet to download, but I dont have the wifi's at home.
And if not, is it a hardware limitation, or software???
as far as i know there is no way to get internet to your phone through usb cable.
you can probably work around it if you have a laptop wired to the internet or a wifi stick. you should be able to setup a hotspot through windows to share your wired connection over wifi.
If you are on Froyo, it is built in.
If you are on Eclair, use Acer EasyLink:
(credits to navygino on MoDaCo for figuring everything out):
1) Download & install this program, http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...uid&Step3=Liquid&OS=A01&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6
(I did this on Vista) Device Manager-->Modem-->Acer Android Modem-->Advanced-->enter the sting: +CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”apn name”
2) Open the Acer EasyLink software
3) Go to Settings
-The number is just *99#
-Make sure everything else is correct
Ohhhh sorry thats for wired tethering, using your mobile network on your computer.
As far as using your computers wired connection, I have no clue.
i know that monoxide.tryst is probably gone but for anyone else.
if you want internet on your device you can share your wired network to your phone if you have a laptop/wireless adapter.
Windows 7
go to "network and sharing center"
>on the left "Manage Wireless Networks"
>>click "Add"
>>>"Create an ad hoc network"
>>>>Put in SSID and Security code
>>>>>"next" and then select "Share my internet Connection"
This will setup a wireless hotspot from your laptop/adapter using your wired internet connection. Which then you can use your phone to connect too.
Is it possible to connect to my own wifi, and then use my usb cable to tether that wifi to my computer?
My current setup is, i have a computer that is too far to be wired to the router, and i dont have a wireless dongle to use.. for now.
So, can i connect my captivate to the router (using wifi) and then tether from my phone to my pc, would it use my wifi data? or my 3g data?

This root app will let you tether via usb but I believe you can only use your 3G data connection and not your wifi.
if u need a temp solution easy tether lite will do it for ya for a trial period, $10 for full license. and this does turn your phone into a usb wifi adapter but u need software on your PC to run this

Ah! thanks cremefraiche (is that from southpark btw?)
Off to install some apps
I believe it is possible for a laptop to get internet access from a tab though the USB tether, Is it possible for it to be reversed?
Recently I broke the wifi trying to get it into ad-hoc mode, so I can't use the wifi to connect to the internet, marketplace, etc.
Is there a way for me to get a connection from my laptop to the tab?
Im on FROYO 2.2
Thanks,

Do you mean use your laptop as the wifi access point? In that case you will have to replace the default wpa_supplicant file. Search for the thread here....
Not as a wireless access point. I believe normally, you use the USB cable to get the internet on your computer from your Tab Data plan (Correct me if I am wrong)
So, I was wondering if you could use the internet connection from your laptop and forward it to your tab through the USB cable.
I use my tab as a wireless access point several times already-mostly at work because of network restrictions at the office.(Settings/wireless and networks/Tehtering and portable hotspots)
I don't know if you can use USB tethering from laptop to tab-probably not.....
Hi,
You can get a form.of reverse tethering over WiFi by using an application called Connectify (works best on Windows 7). Install Connectify, tell it which connection you want to share, then connect to the created hotbot on the Tab.
Obviously, if your Wifi is properly broken this isn't particularly useful, but Im not aware of any way that the USB interface could be used for tethering in that direction.
Hope this helps...

Yed as agc93 said, connectify shares your pc internet connection through wifi. You need to setup static ip address in the galaxy though.
Good luck
