I have recently acquired an Alcatel L800 4G modem for my netbook but would like to connect it to my Nexus 7, which does not have 3G. I have tried the PPP widget but without much success. The modem seems to connect to LTE but there is no indication on the Nexus that it is recognising the connection, nor is the PPP widget doing anything. I am sure they might be an easy solutuion to this problem and if so, can anyone please tell me if i am able to connect the N7, either with the L800 or another dongle, and if so how i go about doing it please?
Many thanks
It won't work. 4.3 disabled USB tethering with a internet dongle.

I installed CM6.1 yesterday and attempted to give the hotspot feature a try. I am able to connect to the hotspot via a mobile phone's wifi but when I try connecting to the network via my laptop it won't connect. I can see the network on both devices but only the phone connects and actually lets me browse the web. The laptop I am using is running Windows 7. Has anyone else run into this?
Yes and I have no idea why.

Hey guys,
since i'm moving often, workwise, and don't have the luxury of great DATA speeds via my Phone often, and neither the Option to pair my Wifi with local hotspots or Routers in Companys.. i'd love a solution for the play.
So far i've tried
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-793102.html - Failed
I'm currently running CM7 (FXP Edition release 41 i believe) and it does NOT come with that option, though i've read that CM7 doas come with it on some devices.
Any help appreciated!
(BTW - a PORTABLE solution would be preferable, since it's Client PCs i'm sitting on mostly.)
My answer would be Yes, on whatever is possible. I guess any rooted rom could get that feature.

I have the same issue... I'm considering connecting my netbook with an ethernet cable and using the wifi to connect to my phone.
I haven't seen anyone successfully use ICS on Windows 7 to reverse tether to an Android phone through USB. (we use Windows 7 at work)
I think you need to enable RNDIS in kernel, for example to compile it as module.
Ive used connectify while i was on vacation.
You can turn your wifi adapter into a hotspot and put a password on it so you can connect your phone to your laptop while your laptop is connected to another wireless network (get it ?)
see http://www.connectify.me/
Well the thing is, I am usually connected via cable. So wifi is not an option.

Hi all,
I've got a Galaxy Nexus with the mobile hotspot feature (Verizon) and I'm having trouble getting VPN software on my laptop to work properly. This is because I haven't forwarded the ports from the phone/hotspot to the laptop - I can't seem to figure out how to do that.
Anyone here know of a way to forward ports using the mobile hotspot feature?
Tried using the PortForwarder app in the market, but it doesn't seem to be working... Not rooted...

Are you hosting the vpn server on your laptop? If not, then you don't need to port forward. I don't know about Verizon, but my provider blocks vpn and charges an extra 5 a month for access.

The VPN app I'm trying to use is Hamachi.
I've got it running on 3 machines - laptop, work PC, and home PC.
home <-> work is fine
anything involving the laptop while connected to the hotspot shows a "relayed tunnel", which means the other machines can't connect directly to the laptop'a service
Hi to all, I have a problem when trying to create an ad-hoc access point from my PC in order to share my internet connection. The problem is that neither of my 2 android devices is seeing the network and my iPhone has no problem to see and connect to the network. It's so weird. Anyone have any idea?

I cannot find a definitive answer: Does the 2013 N7 support connecting to Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc networks? I do not have a router, but I do have a wireless card in my PC which I am using to broadcast a Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc network. The N7 sees the network, but is unable to connect. I have tried disabling all security on the Ad-Hoc network (no password), but it still does not connect.
Has anyone figured out how to get this working?

also wondering if it supports it, I cant even see ad-hoc. Might be something that we can mod onto the stock rom
Not supported. There is an ancient bug report for that:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82
CM might include support:
http://www.thinktube.com/android-tech/46-android-wifi-ibss
Do you have a particular reason to use ad-hoc mode? The N7 can play access point just fine; your PC most likely as well.
There is this mod if you really need, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163363, I personally think Google should add native support, is really not that hard, especially for Google

Here it works.
My neighbour gave me access, he is 100 meters away. My laptop has a real teck card with outside antenna and I rebroadcast the signal to my nexus 7 with connectify.
It works....
My home internet went out a couple weeks back and I used ad-hoc on DJLamontagneIII's CM10.2 Flo Kangs rom. It was a build from a couple weeks ago, but I'm sure it's fine on the new one.
There were no tricks, ad-hoc just showed up under Wi-Fi connections and I connected.
Good luck.
I do wireless tether from my lg optimus g to my tablet just fine. If I recall WiFi tether creates it using ad hoc, not infrastructure (unless you have a rare phone that supports it). It works just fine.

The Nexus 7 doesn't connect to adhoc connection unless. It connects only to infrustructure networks and this is with some other android devices. Rooted devices have a way of going around this though.
did anyone have a solution for the nexus 7 (2013)?. I cant find anything helpful at all regarding this.
I really need to connect to an ad-hoc connection
You need to be on window 7.
I think it s not working on xp.
what you are suggesting is just normal infrastructure hotspot.
I need to connect to an ad-hoc wifi connection , specifically to a symbian phone as a hotspot using Joikuspot.
anyone?

this thread seem like showing the solution for other tab, but not for nexus 7 (2013). can someone make it work for our tablet
I just flashed CM-FLO 4.3.1 and it doesn't work. The tablet is able to see the Ad-Hoc network I created with my Nokia E-72 (yes, I know it's old but it's my work phone).
It sees the network. I click on it and connect (network is open; no wep). It then says that it saved the connection but if I click on it again for it to connect it doesn't.
I've tested this with 2 different iPhone's and they are able to connect successfully and browse while connected to my Ad-Hoc. I verified connectivity because the mb up and down counter shows data traffic. I thought CyanogenMod would have it enabled by default. I guess not.
