So my hero's service was turned off. I'm unable to pay it for a few weeks. So I'm trying to see if there was a way to share my computer internet with my hero. I don't have a router. So basically is there a way to wire tether only in reverse.

Just use wifi... or if you have a mac I know you can "tether" it
Thats the promblem I don't have a wireless router. So I don't have a wifi signal to pick up.

Look for something like "sharing internet connection via USB" or something similar.
Thierry Parent has put up a working solution here ...

FYI, since this is a big reason to need root... I got Bluetooth tethering to work out of the box on Windows 7. Heres to hoping todays(?) patch that contains blutooth "fixes" doesn't break it.

Not an app. From what I understand you turn on Bluetooth on your cell phone and laptop and connect them and your computer will think it's linked to an access point.

Wow. You can tether COD over your phone? Hot damn that's a good speed! I get crap over here. :'(
Yea its actually not that bad lol
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
Yeah, well I envy your speed brother. As for the tether, I don't think nothing can be done besides hardware check and phone positioning. There might be something out there that, if installed, would make your wireless access card run more effeciently with the rooted wireless tether program, but I'm not sure.
However, in your search you DO find a solution, let us know! I'll be having this Hero until a dual core comes out, so I got plenty of months ahead!

Wifi tether will no longer start up if you apply the 4.3 OTA. If anyone relies on wifi tether just be warned
I have tried the other tether options available and so far no luck with any of them. If you have tethering as part of your plan or use a custom rom you are most likely ok but stock rooted 4.3 seems to be broken at the moment
any ideas?
You have tethering on your plan?
People still do this?

no, per my previous post if you have tethering as part of your plan you should be fine, I usually tether about twice a year and used the wifi tether app in the past but its not working with 4.3 as of yet

I just figured with the advancements in smartphones, there's less of a need to carry a laptop with you away from a network.
And there's WiFi just about everywhere now.

Wifi tether only works if you are rooted. So if you took the OTA 4.3 update, you are not rooted anymore and Wifi tether will not work.

I can confirm that this is accurate. I've uninstalled/reinstalled the app and it doesn't work; it stalls starting up. Other rooted apps that I have are working. I guess I'll just wait for an update.

WiFi and USB theter do not work
Hello
WiFi and USB theter do not work any longer.
My stock device had WiFi and USB theter working before with the onboard tools out of the box.
After this update both stop working.
I can connect to the device but it will not pass me throug to the internet.
PDAnet (which I still own from the past) is working as USB theter.
Hope there will be a fix out soon as this looks like an error.

Not a dumb question at all. 2.4 has range and better thru walls. If u have wide open space then 5.ghz is smooth and less traffic. All wireless phones started on 2.4 5 is a few years old. 5ghz range is shorter but does not like walls and going thru things.

I have it and it's definitely a GREAT wifi access point. I don't use the routing functions, it's hooked up to an 8 port switch into my ISP's given router.
I haven't had anything good to say about wifi calling, though. Both my wife's phone and my own (both N4's) consistently disconnect calls after a short period of time, i think it was like 10 seconds or something. Never looked into it, we don't need it anyways. Willing to bet it's got something to do with AT&T Uverse congestion/throttling/etc..

Hey man, have you had to hard reset your router and upgrade your version of Merlin's through the recovery utility? It doesn't work through the Admin page (for me, at least). Just wondering if there's an easier method to update than what I've been doing
Btw, I'm also using this router running Merlin's (not quite latest) opensource Asus firmware. This router is definitely fantastic. My cable connection speed is 50 down / 10 up... and that's exactly what I see on every wifi speed test I run from my phone :good:
