How do you tether with the Sprint touch pro 2

Goodness. I use PdaNet.

I use USB Modem (Mac) and WMWifiRouter.

Can you point me in the direction of a tutorial for doing this? I used to tether using USB Modem with my TP1, but it has been a while and I want to make sure when I go away I know how to do it with my TP2.

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.6.2

Well first you should install the Stealth mode cab in the tweaks sticky.

Then as for choices to share, there is using ICS or there are other tools such as:

HTC WIFI ROUTER

WMWIFIROUTER

PDANET

And one more but forgot its name(but its annoying to config, it was made on XDA)

I have used wmwifirouter before but since I got a new TP2 I'm trying the HTC WIFI ROUTER which I think was token off the Topaz, so far it seems the easiest to configure and does not require ICS.

HTCs wifi app is slower than wmwifirouter in my experience testing them all... and it probably does use ICS, even wmwifirouter uses it-might be because it has a wifi to usb option though...that option alone is worth 30bucks.. some people still dont have routers(me included) on their PC, this way you still have the wifi signal, but can use it without a router needed...

theres links in my sig for all the usually Tethering apps... no reason why they wont work on TP2... wmwifi, ics, and htc app have all been tested on my TP2 and work

WMWifiRouter uses it 100%, Ive been using it for years..I have not tested speed yet as I just installed it today and using it now but I noticed it has a weaker WEP key then WMWIFIROUTER if security is your thing.

HTC WIFI ROUTER I do not see ICS running in background...and I remember reading somewhere it is not required.

I'm just saying that out of all options HTC WIFI Router seems the most hassle free, in no way did I claim it is better.

The new HTC Wifi router is fantastic!

That's what I use. When I was first looking at the TP last year, I inquired about their phone as modem charges. They told me that it was $40/mo., and that was almost a show stopper for me since I rarely have the occasion to use my phone as a tether. I found someone here suggested PdaNet so I looked into it. At a one time charge of $34, it's less than one month's fee at Sprint, so I got it, and it's so easy to use and usually works flawlessly. Since I rarely use it, I doubt that Sprint would ever feel that I'm abusing my data connection.
