With my Galaxy Nexus (Verizon Wireless) I find that USB tethering is faster than WiFi hotspot. I have a need to share the connection with 3 different PCs. Is is possible to USB tether the Galaxy Nexus to a switch for sharing the internet connection? I know I can use the WiFi hotspot option but I am noticing significant speed decrease with WiFi hotspot and want to specifically use USB tethering instead and share with 3 PCs simultaneously.

Hi guys!
Just a thought, I have a PS3 and I have access to a local wifi, but due to the wifi having a MAC Filter the PS3 can not connect so I had a thought of USB Tether my Wildfire to PS3..
BUT
When I read online, I saw that I must use a computer & Cross over Ethernet cable to the PS3, and I don't have a the right cable..FYI My computer is also allowed on the local wifi.
SO
My question is this: Is there anyway to DIRECTLY USB tether my Wildfire to the PS3?
Why not white list the PS3?
I wonder if just using the USB Tethering option in Cyanogenmod 7 would work?
Does your Wildfire have access to the Wifi?
I wonder if you were to use a USB Wifi Adapter connected to your Computer/Laptop to create a 'Hotspot' from which your PS3 could connect? Alternatively you could I guess try this maybe...

I hope one of these works for you.
Hope I've not confused anyone too much lol

I do not have access to the router & I can't contact the guy who owns the wifi because he's working away for a while.

From what I understood, Portable Hotspot only uses 3G / hsdpa connection and I want to use WiFi connection as I do not have an unlimited data plan.
I have seen the Reverse Tether guide before and have used this for another Buzz I own.
Does anyone know of any free wired tethering apps? I use wifi tether from the market for wireless tethering, but I'd like to connect my USB cable to a desktop with no Wi-Fi adapter and tether that way. I used to do that with my
EVO 3D with the hacked official hotspot app which supported both wired and wireless tethering. Just looking for something similar for the S3, I would appreciate any help

If you run cm9/10 there's an option built in for wired tether.

I use many file sharing apps like Sender & Share it. While it uses hotspot tethering for Sharing file, after recent update to 6.0 there is no option for tethering & portable hotspot in setting. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
i have the same problem. there is no setting for hotspot option.
Yeah. thanks Google ! Maybe on Android 7.0 you can remove wifi and gps aswell and on 8.0, remove Play Store

WiFi hotspot or tethering works on devices which have other ways of connecting to internet aside from WiFi connection so the internet can be shared from that other source (like cellular data access) through WiFi. So technically the availability of the WiFi hitspot or tethering option on the previous vesrsions of Android was meaningless and Google made the right decision to remove it from devices which are incapable of using it in Marshmallow. By the way, I beleive applications you mentioned in your post use being-on-the-same-network and WiFi Direct technologies to share files between devices not WiFi Hotspots or tethering.
Ok but how about usb tethering? That had to be removed also ?

I think Google believes that nowadays every PC or Laptop has WiFi adapter by default so they can use their own WiFi adapter to connect to the internet.
well my laptop's wifi doesnt working and i was using my n7's usb tethering to connect internet and now after the patch it is gone. i just dont understand why. I was even able to share my files with hotspot to everyone around me and i was able to use airdoid or wifi transfer without any internet connection. I will go back to lollipop 5.1.1..
Back in the days I was able to use the Galaxy S 4G and the Galaxy S2 to accomplish this.
Now if I connect USB tethering it automatically disables WiFi connection and reverts to cellular data.
If an older device did this, I would imagine the Note 4 can as well.
