[Q] Tether my own wifi? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Internet on Laptop via kaiser!

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.

I dont have a data plan but wanna tether wifi

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)

Tether (Wired and Wireless together)

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.

Connecting nexus one to Internet via USB

Before i unlocked and flashed my Nexus one, it was enough to connect my Nexus one via USB to my Laptop to use laptop internet connection.
The first time i did it, Windows installed a bridge network.
Now that i am using a customer ROM (CYA 5.5.0.3), it does not work anymore.
Any idea if it is removed from the custom ROM, or if i need any kind of menu to make it to work?
Thanks in advance
Cedric
any taker?
i cannot be the only one that is interested in this basic function?

Have you tried the Wireless tether application? It does the exact same thing as USB tether, but wirelessly:

He wants to share the PC's connection with the phone, USB tether and Wifi tether are for sharing the phones connection with the PC.
i have same requirement. because 3g signal in my N1 is very unstable. wifi as is. so i have only connect to internet via notebook. This is the biggest problem of my N1.
did anyone ever figure out if this is possible?

[Q] Reverse Tethering a PC to a Tab

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
