Instead of a hotspot, I connect my note 8, to my Asus rt ac68w router and enable tethering. It worked great until the android pi update. Now I plug my phone into the router and enable tethering, but the tethering isn't working. Router firmware is up to date. Any one have solutions or know of a router that this will work on?

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.
How do I connect to internet from my Note?
Scenario:-
3G services on Note are not working.
I do not have a wifi router at home
I have a cable internet connection and can connect my laptop to internet.
I am running on Stock ROM , no ROOT.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Since you don't have a router , create an adhoc wifi connection in your laptop and connect your note to that network.
Now go to the settings of your wired connection in your laptop and enable 'sharing' .
That's all.....you can now use your wired connection on your note through the AD hoc wifi network
Hello everyone.
I've been trying to cast from my laptop but I don't see it (No Cast Devices found). I'm able to cast effortlessly from my Android device though.
Now, after poking here and there I tried connecting my laptop directly to the router and then Chrome detected my cast device.
Any idea of what it could be? This may be the wrong forum to post this but not even Google Support has figured out what's wrong.
Thanks!
I have the same problem, obviously I don't know how to fix it
Do you have a dual band router that is broadcasting 2.4 and 5 ghz signals? I've read of people having issues when the Chromecast uses 2.4 and your computer is trying to connect via the 5ghz network. Personally I have iPads and my Android phone connecting over 5ghz while my Chromecast is on 2.4 and don't have any problems. But perhaps it is a router issue. I use a WAP running DD-WRT, so it is better than most OEM routers out there.

There should not be an issue with connecting on different bands unless you segregate the 5ghz band on your router. Most routers are not setup to do that but if you have made changes, it is possible.
I checked the AP isolation thing before posting. So it wasnt that. I also flashed DD-WRT on it just to make sure. Same result.
We all on the same network/SSID.
Google cant figure out why Chrone only sees it only when wired im still waiting for them to come back with a workaround. If they do ill post it.

wild guess... if its not AP isolation maybe your wifi card has a firewall enabled and your Ethernet port doesn't?

checked. firewall is off.
weirder, the Chromecast app detects it, but my browser doesnt.

I'm on the same boat with a "similar" problem. I have a Netgear N900 dual band router, but the issue persists while my main laptop (Win7) is connected via WiFi to either band (2.4GHz or 5.0GHz) or if I connect it directly to the router via Ethernet wire. Using the Chromecast app from the same laptop works without a hitch. I can also ping the Chromecast IP address without a problem. I have rebooted several times, uninstalled and re-installed Chrome and the Google Cast extension, but it makes no difference. I believe that the plugin is conflicting with "something" in this specific laptop. The issue is not with the LAN. All devices are on the same Network segment and respond to pings. The Google Cast extension works fine from two other laptops running Win7 with a similar setup, running the same version of the Chrome browser and Google Cast. I can also cast from my Android mobile devices (Nexus 7 & SGS3) using youtube. Suggestions anyone?
UPDATE:
The conflict was being caused by an active "virtual" network adapter. Specifically, the Leaf Network adapter that was installed with Netgear's ReadyShare Cloud. I guess this adapter works as a VPN to connect to the ReadyShare Cloud. I disabled this adapter and the Chromecast discovery worked. Apparently, the Chrome Cast extension is not smart enough to avoid virtual (VPN) adapters and link with the Primary (physical) wired/wireless adapter. At minimum, the extension should have an option to select the adapter to use. I don't user ReadyShare that frequently so having the adapter disabled does not bother me much.
The new update rolling out today is suppose to improve discovery so perhaps it will fix some of these issues.

Thanks for the heads up. Is this a firmware update for the dongle or an updated Chrome Cast extension? Regardless, is there a a place where I can read about this update or a way for me to manually download it?
Btw, I found the conflict with my setup... I have updated my previous post.
Got the Chromecast dongle "firmware" OTA update today. It went from release 12072 (shipped) to release 12840.. I don't think this is a "new" update that's supposed to be rolling out today.. If discovery was supposed to be improved with this release, it did not fix the issue with my ReadyShare Cloud virtual VPN adapters. Once I enable the Leaf Network adapter the device disappears from the Chrome Cast pull down. After reading about it a bit more, it appears that this 12840 OTA update patches the exploit used to get root. Oh well... does anyone know if there are any new features or what else is fixed with the 12840 release?
Hey all,
My home internet is crazy slow. I average 1.2 - 1.5 megs down, and that's when everyone is asleep in town! We don't have any other choices, so I wanted to see if I could bridge my X's wifi to my home router. So it would look like this:
Hotspot -> Client Bridge -> Home Network -> Wi-Fi and hardwired devices
I bought a cheap TP-Link WR702N off of Amazon because it said it could operate as a bridge or a client. So I figured I could set the 702N up as a client, have it connect to my X via wi-fi, and then connect the 702N to my home router (Netgear WNDR4500), via the WAN port. Should work in theory, but I can't get my 702N to connect to my X no matter what I try.
I can use my phone's hotspot on my computer, tablet, chromecasts, and so on, but the 702N doesn't work with it. I can get the 702N to act as a client off my WNDR4500, but that's going backwards from what I want to do!
Is there something I'm missing on the X? I've also tried my wife's GS4, and it is also a no-go. I've tried disabling any sort of security on the X, trying 2.4ghz band only, 5ghz band only, restarting, using it as a bridge instead of a client, etc... no dice.
Any suggestions? Suggestions about different hardware that works would also be appreciated!
Thanks, and have a good day!
I read the threads on bypassing the throttle with pda net when connecting a pc to your phone wifi but what are the instructions if I want to connect another tablet like a galaxy tab or an ipad to my hotspot for unthrottled wifi
How can that be done? Change the ttl on those to 65? Use a vpn on those devices?

I know routers such as asus ac66u can spoof the ttl value. So theoretically you can connect your phone to the wifi router and spoof the TTL value, and then connect your devices to the wifi router. Can't guarantee it will work but worth a shot.

I guess I should mention this is for in the car. My kids play tablets when going on road trips and watch Netflix
They use the hotspot on my phone but it eats through that data cap before we reach our destination

A simple inverter would allow you to use a wifi router in the car.
