Hi,
I have very bad WIFI signal in my room and my computer is connected via cable to router at 1 Gb/s connection so no problem. The problem is when I try to use my devices in my room that I have very slow speeds on WIFI so I was wondering if I can connect my Lumia 435 to the PC and the Lumia take the computer internet connection and make a hotspot for other devices. It's called reverse tethering but I don't know how to setup this type of connection beetween my PC and Lumia 435 with Windows Phone 8.1
You need a wifi adapter. Is like a usb pendrive.
Have you looked at connectify?
I think that software does that too
If your computer has a WiFi adapter you can easily set it to broadcast as an access point, sharing its wired connection. For Windows, there's a pretty nice program called Virtual Router Manager, though you can do it with nothing but an admin command line and the "netsh" utility (built in).
If your computer doesn't have a WiFi adapter, you can pick one up for cheap (less than $20, usually). I don't know of any way to reverse tether a Windows Phone device, though. The phone can, of course, broadcast a hotspot, but it will only do so to share the cellular connection; it won't share the connection from any other source.

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.

Hello all.
I have googled, searched xda and tried all to get internet sharing to work, via usb, but fail all the time. It is supposed to just work but does'nt. For me.
Any help please?
regards
settings->connections->connections->advanced-select network
choose my network or whatever the native network profile is called
rather then my isp or whatever your isp profile is called
should mean that when your phone is connected to activesync
or vista's sync tool
it gets the same network as the computer you're connected to
make sure you have synced your x1 with the activesync software that comes with it then try it make sure you got signal aswell cuz it will not connect without. i use vista and it connected fine it just added another network to the ones i could connect to and obvusly it was the phone so i saved it that way when i plug it in it works straight the way. hopefully this helped
just plug it in and start internet sharing on your x1
Probably want to check your PC network status>>properties>>Advanced and check on "Allow other network users to connect...."
And go to X1 settings>connections>usb to pc and clear(if any) check mark on the 'enable adv network' if having problems.
Are you trying to connect your PC to the Internet through your phone or your phone to the internet via your PC?
doesnt necessarily belong here but since people are reading this thread - how can I do the following:
My laptop is connected to landline broadband connection via cable. Now I want to start a wireless network on my computer and let my xperia connect to. When connected to the laptop ... I want the xperia to be able to use the laptops internet access as well be able to access files that I have given network permission to e.g. movies for example.
There has got to be a way of doing this. So far all i can do is create a wireless network and let my xperia connect to it .. however nothing happens after that .. I cannot access files nor the internet on my xperia
so anybody an idea how to do this ?
thanks
I think you might need a Wireless Access Point for this, although I could be wrong. I have personally never tried it, as I haven't played around with peer to peer wireless networks.
I have an Access Point at home connected to the DSL, my laptop and my X1 both connect to it and access the internet, and that works perfectly.
Sorry I am not of much help.
just create an ad hoc connection on your pc it will appear on the network list on the xperia in the properties of the ad hoc connection tick share internet or something similar
Sharing internet connection with x1
Hello guys! I need to connect my X1 via USB with my notebbok, to share the WiFi connection. The problem is that my X1 has an IP with 192.168.1.102 Ip, (From wireless), but when I connect it via USB to my PC its tooks an IP with 162.85.2.2 Ip Address.
I configured it manually, but still wont navigate trouth internet.
So I don't know hoy to configure my connection to have the same IP range with my phone from my PC.
I searched all over XDA forums, but I didn't find anything-
Please somebody can hel me please?
Regards!
Charly!
Active sync issues the IP when connected via the usb cable, leave it as it is. (ie my home wireless network for the laptop / pc / xbox etc is 192.168.0.xxx but the phone when connected to the laptop is 169.254.2.x and active sync does the routing or something). Then do what the others said about allowing the phone ot connect to the internet via active sync and it should work.

Hello!
I am connecting my Kaiser to my laptop through an ad-hoc connection. I set up internet sharing on the laptop, and created an ad-hoc connection on the laptop. The Kaiser connects to it, but I can't access the internet from the Kaiser. Maybe someone knows what can be the reason?
Thanks!
You need to use the "Internet Connection Sharing" program on your phone while connected via USB with Activesync. Ad-hoc mode is used if you want to share the connection over WiFi.
I really want to share the laptop's connection through wifi.
May I suggest the program WMWifiRouter. It costs $30 or 20 Euros, but will share your connection over Wifi, USB, Bluetooth. It also performs a number of other networking related function and is very easy to use but also has many options.
WMWifiRouter is used to share the pocket pc's internet connection, and I need to share the laptop's internet connection. Then, I want to connect my pocket pc to it, and access the internet through it.
I'm trying to set my laptop up to use the td2 to get a connection to the internet. can this be done either via bluetooth wiFi or USB. I have tried to add a bluetooth network connection but the laptop keeps giving an error saying could not connect to the remote device.
When I plug mine into my laptop via USB, I get an option on the device to 'internet share'. Does this not happen for you? I'm not sure whether Windows Mobile Device Center is also needed, but it may be!
I did this today using a Macbook. The USB did not work on the Mac but Bluetooth did. I had to connect to the phone from the computer using ordinary bluetooth first (without network). Then I had to choose Internet Connection on the phone using Bluetooth PAN - which I assume is Bluetooth network. Also had to select Bluetooth PAN on Macbook - was a bit fiddly but it worked. Anyway it does work with USB on the PC see post 16 of the thread here.
cheers both, i will check out the other thread but when I connect the phone via USB to this (work) laptop, I get nothing. My home one uses Vista and Mobile Device Centre, but my work one uses XP.
typically, after a reboot the phone gives of the option to shart internet sharing but the laptop wants to install a rndis connection, but the only way to do this is connect to internet. ironic.
Ok, finally have a proper Interenet connection and downloaded Activesync 4.5 from MS. This looks like it will resolve the situation.
Ok I have been trying to use my pc connection and access that connection through my bluetooth on my kaiser, most I can get is the other way around. Any suggestions
Not sure that Internet Connection sharing in WinMo supports that...just wondering, why the heck would you want to surf the web on a 2.8" screen when you have a full PC available to you?
You can use the remote desktop facility via wifi. But as previously posted... why?! Bluetooth doesn't support a high enough datarate for it to work properly.
Connection at my location is 3G at best so bluetooth is defininitaly fast enough to accomidate my needs just simple stuff.

The best way to get the connection on your kaiser throught the pc is when you connect it using the USB and being connected to the active sync on your pc besides there are no settings need to be made for using this way. I'm not sure if you can connect the kaiser to you active sync on the pc through the bluetooth.anyway let me try it and if anything pops up, i'll let you know
Nope, no additional software required. Just go into Start - Programs - Internet Sharing. Hit connect and connect up your USB cable and you're done.
_Wait for ActiveSync to connect and then exit the programme._________________
Max confusion
What a jumble this thread has become . The O/P wanted to access the internet that's already on his PC and channel that through his TyTN II - NOT the other way around. As already mentioned in one post, one way of getting this is via an Activesync (or WMDC if it's Vista or Win 7 on the PC) connection. For greatest speed this would be via the USB cable but it is possible to have an Activesync or WMDC connection via Bluetooth for greater mobility if there's a need to carry the phone up to 10 m from the bluetooth hub. The other (more straight forward) way to do this is just to connect the phone via WiFi directly to the landline/broadband router (assuming there is a WiFi capable router avail).
Internet connection sharing is only for when the phones internet connection eg GSM/3G or HSDPA is feed to a desktop PC (say if the landline/broadband connection is down). In the O/Ps second post, the reference to Bluetooth speeds made it look like this was what was being saught.
I have done all of these with my TyTN II and had things working well in each case.
