Wifi router or USB tethering please

I haven't tried the apk yet either, but when you are not tethering does the data work on your Android?

Yes. My data works regardless. The only issue is that it does not seem to support encryption or access list. Other than that, I can tether w/o any problem.

Seems it connects, but it's not getting on the internet.

Thoughts?

Does the IPod Touch support Ad-Hoc mode? There is no AP mode with the posted apk. Also, if you have WEP enabled, it will not work... at least in my case. I have to disable WEP and the access list in order to tether my laptop and use it.

I hit "THANKS!" I came to the same WEP not working conclusion so I decided "Well at least I can use the AC to secure it a little." Never gave it a second thought that the AC wasn't working either.

Not fond of the totally Unsecure...but for what I need it for, it'll keep me out of WinMo and that makes me happy!

I still am curious though, I thought Froyo had wifi tethering built-in? Is it being purposefully removed to keep the size down or something like that?

I have an general Android question, so this is Android 2.2, but I am not seeing the Wireless & Networks, Tethering and Portable Hotspot, Portable Wifi Hotspot that I thought was supposed to be in 2.2, unless removed by the carrier?
I do see the USB tethering but I believe that is documented as not working at this time. Thanks!

+1 that's what i read too?

+1 same here. BTW, seems most DL a file manager, ASTRO seems to be most popular...

If anyone's got tethering working on a SPRINT TP2 Android (SD card), PLEASE PM me with details, I'll hit your thanks button LOTS! (please don't point me to all the droid apps, I've tried most.. do YOU have it working?)
Thanks in advance (i'll write up a faq on it once I get it to work & credit YOU) :>))

The wifi search util should show all though I think? at least on mine.. it tells whether open, WEP or WAP & shows a lock if secured... mine won't even show it as a wifi, (let alone connect to it).
YOu have your's working also? With SPRINT?! Friggen A,
Question, before you did that disabling you said above, could you see it as wifi, but just not connect? Or, couldn't you see it either?
What OS is your laptop please?
What wifi are you using a Third party or Windows?
Are you using the same one as posted above???

Thanks in advance!

I have been using my phone with my laptop just fine. Like I said couple of posts ago, disable WEP, WPA, WPA2 or whatever and also AC. I realized that mine didn't work when I have any encryption or security feature set up on the setting but as soon as I disable them, it works just fine.

Hope this helps.

Windows 7 64bit..

I was able to see wifi w/o any problem. Maybe you need to test your wifi first. Make sure you can connect to any AP and then set up tether after you are successful with wifi connection from TP2.

Right THANKS! But, back to my Q (for my own trouble shooting) Just to be clear..
1. You were able to see the wifi from the phone PRIOR to doing all your disables?
2. "support Ad-Hoc mode? There is no AP mode with the posted apk" I'm using my phone as both! It becomes an AP.. Hotspot, etc..
Is that what you mean?

re. testing wifi? ALL i use is wifi, prob not an issue, which piece are you suggesting???

*edit* on #1 above, when phone becomes a wifi router, were you able to see it as a wifi hotspot on your laptop?

1. Yes, I was able to before disabling everything.
2. Wifi Hotspot created by the app is on ad-hoc mode, not ap mode. This is important to me because my Kindle 3 only supports AP mode. So I can't use my phone with Kindle 3
