Well i use wireless tether for root, simply because i want to use bluetooth tether,
Notice: Bluetooth tether only works on 2.2 roms.
Always its online,
only using battery when im connected,
awesomeness, i think
And if you want to use the wifi part of it, the big plus of WTFRU over ANetShare, is the access controll, set it up once, and thats it, on ANetShare you need to accept the client every time you use it. With WTFRU thats not the case.

[Q] What are YOU using wireless tether for?

I was thinking about getting a EVO but might like a tablet such as the Viewsonic G and use wireless tether with my hero. Also what is your battery life like using Wireless or USB WIRED tether...thanks for your time and answers.

i bought pda net and use usb tether on my pc. that connects my ps3 also. bridged, shared network connections. ps3 is hard wired to my pc.
I been using usb tether to run my laptop when I can't get wifi. If I turn it on it doesn't get hot as quick.

I use it for wireless tether
I use the USB tether every day all day at work to get around our corporate firewall to be able to get on XDA and Facebook. I use "Wireless Tether" when I go on road trips to let the kids connect to my hotspot while in the car with their laptops and iPod Touches. I usually have it plugged in to either a car charger or the wall when running wireless tether because it is a huge battery drainer. I used to use EasyTether before when I was on Android 2.1 but now that I'm on FroYo 2.2 it is built in and works sweet!

[Q] wireless tether to a cr-48??

Anyone here with a cr-48 been successful at connecting with a wireless tether app with the captivate? I am having trouble getting it to work.
I cannot get my CR-48 to connect to my DINC either, I am running Cyanogen 6.1 with the wireless tether. So I would like to know if you have found anything regarding this situation.
lucky bastards.. i'd love one of those..
Anyone have some luck on this?
Yeah, I have a droid eris rooted running a cyanogen mod rom and an unable to get the wireless tether to work on my cr-48 either. It connects to my ipad just fine so I'm assuming it is the computer. Though thinking about it, I had issues connecting it to my other laptop running linux (ubuntu 10.10) so maybe it is something in the linux build.
I think it's because wireless tether uses adhoc. I have read that people can get it to work through usb, but that is no fun. I am trying it on a Droid X. I submitted a bug feedback asking Google if the CR-48 supports adhoc and if that is the issue.
i am currently using my cr48 via the wireless hotspot app on my htc desire - leedroid v2.2f - connects without a problem but i don't have 3G in my area so it's very slow.

[Q] Which one: adhoc or BT for tethering?

Thanks in advance.
There are detailed posts and instructions here for connectivity for my NC via tethering.
I thought I'd ask the opinions from users who've tried both techniques for connectivity via their cell phone.
I'm using a rooted Droid X, running Barnacle to create an adhoc wifi hotspot for use with my laptop already.
I'd like to be able to use my NC (CM7) by connecting through my phone as well.
The adhoc technique looks good, but the sleep issues and others make it appear a bit tricky.
BT sounds easier, but it looks like a very short connection range.
Opinions as to which you prefer?

Use this one __connectify.me (sorry i cant post link yet)
It make a vitural wifi with wpa2 network (not ad-hoc). It works so good that even my kindle can connect to internet through it.
Is this an app for my Droid X, or the NC?
Thanks!
Garrett
Neither. It's for PC.

Zoom 4506 with PDAnet?

I have a Zoom 4506 travel router that I have been using with a Verizon USB modem.
With the lack of wireless tether, I am wondering if it is possable for me to use PDAnet with my Bionic to share the data conncetion with my PC and Galaxy Tab?
In theory I should be able to do this and my data usage would be no more detectable than tethering with a usb cable. But I have not been able to get the Zoom to pick up the data signal from the Bionic.
Any suggestions wold be helpful.
Thanks
This is the official answer I got from Zoom:
"The PDAnet is not compatible with this router. The only way is by using the phones built in hotspot or tethering feature. However, for this you must subscribe to the tethering or hotspot plan with the carrier. But using it with PDAnet it will not work. Sorry.
regards,"
I find this difficult to belive, anyone know a work around?
Zoom 4506 tethering
Zoom now has an Android tethering app for use with their 4506 and 4501 routers. I received a Beta version last week, but it works very well for me. The routers tether through a mini USB port to an Android phone. The app and router combo gives great WiFi range, support for multiple clients, good security. The router even charges my phone while it is tethered if the router is being powered by an AC outlet, but not when the router is being powered by its rechargeable battery.
