Clearly, you can use the tethering within Kies to connect to the interweb which is a massive bonus over most other 2.1 versions
Has anyone investigated using a Galaxy as a Wireless Access Point?
There's a 'droid app here
h t t p : / / c o d e .g o o g l e. c o m / p / android-wifi-tether /
But the Galaxy S isn't mentioned.
Does anyone know of an app that would work the same?
Basically, I want to avoid having to swap my Sim into a MiFi type device (Google it if you've no idea what I'm talking about)
I tried today:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
"wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre7.apk"
and .. it works. Sometimes Ive got some "unknown state", but restart (app) will work.
Eh, its built into the galaxy s. RTFM.

I know how to tether using Kies
I'm talking about setting my phone up so that I can not only access the interweb from my PC using Kies, but also PSP, DS, netbook and so on.
D'OH!
Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile-AP Settings -> Mobile Accesspoint
I thought all Galaxy S phones has mobile AP already built in as standard.
Steps:
Head to settings > Wireless and network > Mobile AP settings
Once in this area, if you have wifi turned on already it will pop up with the following message 'Disconnect Wi-Fi for using Mobile AP'. Click yes.
Next, click the menu key and click settings. In the options that appear,
- tick 'Mobile AP'
- untick 'Hide my device'
- tick 'Tethering' (if you wanna use)
and use the connection password in that screen to connect or use your own.
This all works for me.

Exactly THAT is built in!!!!!!
A wireless AP!
Yup, you're right cheers.
Now setup and working.
What's odd is that most plans in the UK actually ban tethering and yet the SGS is the only Android phone that has all this functionality out-of-the-box.

[Solved] Possible to use I9000 as a wireless modem using wifi NOT 3g?
I was wondering if there is some way to have the Galaxy S allow a WIFI connection when wired to a computer as it does not seem to naturally allow this.
Asking because I've just moved an old desktop pc upstairs and too cheap to by wireless usb modem.
lets try to understand you a bit more
so you want to share your SGS internet connection with another computer using WiFi
but you do not want it to use 3G for data.
Then how are you supposed to connect to the internet without a Conexion to the internet?
the USB dongle to RJ45 is not compatible with SGS
I think he wants this:
internet->dsl/cable->rj45->wifi router->galaxy S->usb cable->old PC
instead of standard tethering:
internet->mobile broadband->galaxy S->usb cable->old PC
I should have mentioned in the original post that I have a wireless router for all my internet connection needs. I was hoping to utilise the Galaxy S in connecting my old pc to my unlimited cable internet provider through wifi rather than to limited 500mb package through phone provider (3G).
So like zorxd said "internet->dsl/cable->rj45->wifi router->galaxy S->usb cable->old PC"
I take it this is deliberately restricted to force using provider, anyway around it?
that scenario is possible
look for the pdanet app
it enables the USB tethering
but why not just put in a cheap $5 10/100/1000 nic or usb wireless to the old PC ?

I agree with this. Might as well buy a usb wireless unless you're only using the internet on the old PC a few times per month or something.

The pdanet app looks to be perfect for what I need. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction Allgamer.
This is the most convenient option for infrequent use on a desktop I may be using for parts in a few weeks time.
The Mobile AP option is not available with SFR in France either.
Is there any way that this can be enabled?
I installed appbrain - and it lists mobile AP setting as an installed app. However, I'm not able to enable it. Any pointers?
Rtfm. Lmao.

AFAIK you cant. But if you have WIndows 7 and wifi on our PC you can use a program like Connectify to allow the phone to connect via WIFI.
Use that in work and works fine.

Oops. For clarity, Connectify runs on the PC and turns in into a WIFI hotspot that any device can connect to.

Just Download & install Kies first.
Then Connect your SGS to PC then on ur sgs screen MTN usb screen appears.
Then open your Kies app, there you can see your phone connected.
On the below of the screen you c Tethering icon, click on that, where you need to configure your Country & Service provider then connect .. thats it your now connected to internet via USB.

Revisiting this as after I posted had problems that my SGS wouldnt connect. Fiddled around a bit and could not fix it. On buying a cheapo Archos 70 tablet tried to connect with the same errors and looking through the Windows logs came across some errors. Turns out, for me anyway, that it's a known Internet Connection Sharing problem in WIndows, not the android devices. Easy fix
Are you using Internet Connection Sharing? Most user do not use or need this. Shut it off in Network Properties.
If still no luck try rebuilding the tcp/ip stack:
1. Click on Start button.
2. Type Cmd in the Start Search text box.
3. Press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run Command Prompt as Administrator. Allow elevation request.
4. Type netsh winsock reset in the Command Prompt shell, and then press the Enter key.
5. Restart the computer.

how to use adhoc wifi?how to use adhoc wifi?
As I know adhoc NOT supported
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
There is something called "wifi Direct" which might be another name for the same thing. Read about it in the user manual, which can be downloaded from Samsung in a pdf. Sorry no link.
If your trying to use the Adhoc to tether other devices to your Note to use it's data connection, then you go into your Settings -> Wireless and network -> Tethering and portable hotspot, enable this, set up a password if you wish, then you can connect to it via wifi now.
Does the phone see wifi adhoc?
Sorry to bring up this thread, didn't want to start a new one.
Now that many people own the nexus. Can someone tell me if the phone can connect to a wifi adhoc? To avoid misunderstanding, this is not the same as tethering phone's internet to other devices (that what's Wifi Direct is about, I think). This is the phone using internet from pc via adhoc wifi (for example using the program Connectify).
Thanks
There is a guide for galaxy s2, just google it (cannot post link), you need to change wpa_supplicant file
Worked for me
sorry for bringing it up again.
changed wpa_supplicant to the one from galaxy s2 and changed permissions. But didnt work for me!
Anyone got files for me so i can use adhoc wifi?
i really need it! thanks a lot guys

If you used this guide "Connect to adhoc Wireless Networks on your Galaxy S2 (SC-02C)" the is should work, maybe it depends on firmware, I have N7000XXKK5
well with this wpa_supplicant i can see the ad-hoc but i cant connect.
And although my note freezes if i use this one. isnt there one especially build for the SGN?
i have kernel N7000XXKK9
I don't understand, if you want to connect to a PC via wifi to use the PC's internet, then isn't it then down to setting the PC as the adhoc and connecting you phone via wifi as if it was connecting to an wireless router? Or Wi-Fi Direct (which is the phone connecting to other devices, not other devices connecting to the phone i.e. tethering)? Can anyone clarify what the issue is?

The issue is that, by default, the Nexus can't see adhoc wifi and therefore can't connect to it. You need to somehow modify wpa-supplicant to be able to see adhoc wifi.

When I try to connect to my house wifi connection I just can't.
This only happens here because in all other places where I try to connect to wifi there's no problem at all. And if I disconnect the modem and plug it in again it works just fine, but just for a day or so, than it stops again...
This is strange, but other people also had problems connecting to my network connection through tablets. It just doesn't seems to affect the computers.
Any ideas of what's going on or how to solve it?
Thanks

Things you can try is to revert your router to factory settings, check how your ip lease is set up.
If it's the router you got from your ISP, it is wise to backup the settings of the router first. So you can restore it if you can't connect to the Internet at all with any device, wireless or cable.
It might also be one or more options in the security settings.
For now it's the only info I can give you, because I have no idea how your router is configured.
I hope this helps you out a bit.

Hello there, this question is regarding the fact that I can't tether my VS 980 to my PC. On my old S4 active, whenever my internet wouldn't work I'd connect to the neighbour's wifi on my phone and tether it to my PC through USB cable and then the internet would work on the PC. After switching to G2, I've noticed I can't get this to happen. When I connect the USB cable I get to options in the internet connection menu which are Ethernet and Modem. I've tried selecting both of these while connected to my neighbour's wifi but nothing happens on the PC.
I'm using xdabebbs VS982.5 ROM if that's important. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers !

There is a Q&A thread for this ROM, however I've never heard of connecting that way with this ROM except with PdaNet. Have you tried the Mobile Hotspot with your data connection?
Edit: The Mobile Broadband Connect (usb) and Mobile Hotspot only work with a data connection, not wifi.

Hello there, it's not the ROM, I couldn't do this with stock either. It's weird because I could do this with pretty much any other android I've owned but the G2 is a different case. I've tried mobile hotspot and it works great on the ROM.
Would you happen to know any workaround for this ?
