Hey all,
I don't know if I'm alone in this, but I've never been able to get more than about 700-800k speed when connected to Wifi. This is either while tethering over bluetooth/USB, or on the phone's browser itself.
Specifically, I'm tethering Wifi to BT and Wifi to USB, while connecting to Wifi hotspots that T-Mo's G1 data plan allows. But I've also run many tests at home, where my cable speed is 14M down/900k up, and cannot exceed 700-800k down.
Understandably tethering 3G to Wifi/BT/USB is limited by the 3G speed, but what is limiting my Wifi to BT/USB speed? And what is limiting my on-phone Wifi speed? Is this simply a matter of the G1 not having the horsepower to process data fast enough? Which would moot the point of having a HSDPA tethering when it rolls out.
Thanks.
Just rooted my Revolution today and installed wifi tether....the main reason I upgraded from my Dinc for 4G!!! Surprise!!! Doesn't work. Does anyone know if there is a reason I cannot tether my revolution with this app?
haven't gotten it to work for me either.
I'm assuming the dev hasn't updated it for LTE. Have you tried turning off 4g and trying it w/ 3g only?
You don't need to root. The free 4g hotspot will spit out 3g also if your not in a 4g area. So until July 6 i think, just use the Verizon provided app. I use it all the time and it works perfect.

I haven't gotten mine to work either. It rather frustrating. I didn't realize there was free hotspot until july 6th? That's news to me.
actually, the stock app does seem to work for me. damn fast, too.
wifi Tether works too, i have it using wpa_supplicant with ASCII WEP, for some reason.
after connecting my cr-48 to it i got about 5mbps down, which is better than nothing.
random issue: bluetooth kept cutting out when using the tether.
Ok, several things.
I tried changing the access to ASCII WAP. Great. That got me to be able to enter a code. Its the validation that is still the problem. The status bar on my computer just sits there and says connecting to connection.
When the connection shows up in my wireless connection list, it has the 3 computer icons connected with arrows, instead of a signal reading. Could that be a problem? I guess its an ad-hoc network? I'm using WIFI Tether version 2.0.7 on a ASUS Windows 7 64 bit machine with an intel Centrino Core 2 processor
I know we have the 4g hotspot until july 6th, but I'm really hoping to find a solution or steps to a solution on this soon. I had Zero problems with 2 Incredibles.
As an aside, it also doesn't pair with my IPAD Wifi (I know, I know, its an apple product, but it was cheap).
Thanks everyone for you help!! I appreciate it.
wifi tether for root users (restored from backup) worked today
FYI-> I went to tether today and the 4G built-in app expired so i tried my restored wifi tether from my dInc.
it worked.
4g and 3g tested, both working.
not sure why this app didnt work before...
decrapped rom
I cant explain why, but download Open Garden Wifi Tether from android market. Basically same app as wifi tether but it works on Revolution.
Actually I take that back.. I havent been able to connect at all.. I was confusing the 4 days I spent with my thunderbolt before trading for the revo. Sorry..

mixed results with the open garden wi-fi. It connects to my laptop, which is better than before. But speeds are so gosh dern slow. I know some tweaking is needed on my end. Does anyone know the difference between this and the wi-fi tether app? on the surface they look the same.
update your laptops wifi driver and enable adhoc.n mode. That solved all issues on both of my laptops.

I've updated the drivers, trying to figure out how to enable adhoc.n mode. not finding that easily. Running Intel WiFi
under device manager and right click on your wifi card and click properties. There should be a bunch of tabs and under one of them there should be a option for adhoc

Could this be an possible explaination?? Could Vzw block all tethering all together? Says a recent update could affect all phones..

Edit: drt054 this nothing new verizon already killed the free hotspot app last month for the lg revolution. Wifi tether still works and must be side loaded to get access to it, since we don't have access to it in the market.

I was able to install and try barnacle but didn't work, also downloaded via Windows7 and installed Wifi Tether 3.1 beta-1 which also did not work. http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com if anybody wants to try it out.
With barnacle I was able to connect to my phone using another android device by checking "skip wpa_supplicant" but there was no connectivity but said "Connected".
Does anybody have a successful tether to Windows7 or another Android device?
Just saw on another forum, wifi tether will only work if the kernel has netfilter enabled. Anyone know how to check?
Fixed android-wifi-tether app will be released in the next week or so, just hold on tight!
If you're still having problems, you might want to check your video card: I have an Intel 6200, and after some exhaustive Google-ing, I found that if you revert your driver to 13.1.1.1 it works fine.
If you're considering PDANet as an alternative, I'd advise against it; it's not a bad option per se, but the free version bars you from https sites after a while (a month I think), and it's slow... really, really slow in my experience (I was getting about 10KBps with PDANet, and now I pull around 60KBps... yeah, I'm way out in the boonies and can only get 3G for the time being).
Wifi Tether WORKS!!!
I just downloaded Wifi Tether 3.1 beta 3 and I have a successful tether to my Windows 7 desktop. In Wifi tether settings and under LAN make sure MSS clamping is checked. I don't know what it is but it works.. download here.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta3.apk
speedtest.net 10.25Mbps down
also, don't know if it matters but using Revolt 1.3 ROM
drt054 - I love you. They're up to beta 6 now so if anyone else is reading this be sure to download the most recent one.
Using Revolt 1.5.
On my home router (Cisco Linksys e1500), my download speeds were being throttled, but my upload speed was in the range of my connection speed. It would throttle it to around 300-400k/bits, whereas the upload was in the 6-7mbits range. Turning my phone into a wireless hotspot, I did not experience this issue. Using the wireless at my work, this issue did not arise. Using the wireless at B&N, this issue did not arise. Using this device on any other wireless connection, the issue did not arise.
I began changing with my wireless settings on the router, entered the Nook's MAC address into my router and gave it High Priority to no avail. Changed from WPA2 to a wide-open connection to no avail. Finally, I started to change which 802.11 standard my wireless router was using. It was currently in mixed-mode, so I changed it to N-only. Download speeds were still throttled, while upload was unaffected. But, for some reason, when I changed it to G-only, the problem resolved. Download speeds were no longer throttled. This is the only device on my home network that I have EVER experienced this issue with.
Has anyone experienced this or have any idea as to why my download speed was being throttled by my router? Are some of the antennas in my Nook not functioning properly?
Working Good for me rooted. Wpa2, using Verizon FIOS router

Have an unlocked att note 3 on tmobile network.have the unlimited plan which includes 7gb of tethering data.using Fabios wifi tether with the X moto tether mod found in xposed. Running firekat v21. My problem is when any device connects I get around 10kbp.. loads Web pages just really slow.if I usb tether get full speeds. Anyone know what the culprit could be.adjusted apn to fast . tmobile . com ipv4. When usb tethering use pdanet. The wifi thether in there will also be just as slow.

Just my 2 cents, but you ever thought of using a t mobile rom? This way you wouldn't have to use second party apps for tethering. T-Mobile Alliance Lollipop Rom on ATT Note 3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/t-mobile-alliance-rom-att-note-3-t3065127 it has t mobile apps.
I can get native tethering working just used all my data trying to use my unlimited 4G now.wifi thether just gives me 10kbps speeds I don't really like lollipop why I'm on kitkat Idk if the room would make a difference or not.
I am tethering data to my ipads and android fast speed with no problem on lte tether, but when i get on my ps4 to play, i cant use fast lte speeds, only 128kbps down/up, i tried ipv4 and ipv6, none work, i was wondering if any 1 had a solution for this? Ive been looking around but can find anything,
Greatly appreciated
Rooted
