Need some help doing normal dial up networking with my epic, (running CleanGB 1.0) and need to do some dial up networking, (like the old school kind). I just got a ZyXel MWR-222 and it doesn't seem to recognize the kernel TUN module.
So now we're back to 2007, setting logins and passwords, and phone #'s, and APNs. Can anyone help me with what those should be on the current sprint network?
Additionally, how do you connect it? Do you just plug it in and choose charging? Do you choose tethering? Do you do something else?
Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you.

Ur laptop has wifi right? I'm assuming

Try that. Its free wifi tether app. No need to use a travel router. Just search for a wireless router on ur laptop and it shoud see ur phone. On the app go into settings, check encryption and change passphrase, then change channel to 10. U should be good to go. This app works. I've use it and tested it for functionality.

It's not a laptop. It's a mobile hotspot which means I need usb tethering. I have both the wireless and wired tether apps installed, however they won't work in this situation. I need to dial the APN by usb.
Try going into settings, then wireless networks and u should be able to tap on apn

I have access to the apn settings and have mirrored them on the mobile router, (apn:Sprint, username:Sprint, no pw), as well as many other settings (including combinations of everything blank) with no luck. Tried #777 and *99# as the dialed number.
When u go into wireless networks, do u tap on "tethering"? Or when u plug it in usb, do u get the option for tethering alongside with charging and mass storage?

I have both the wired tether app (http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/downloads/list) as well as the option to tether connecting a usb device. I believe these offer the computer what appears to be a network adapter.
I don't think this device supports that. I used to use this type of tethering back with an old sanyo dumb phone. I think the computer (or in my case the wireless router, http://us.zyxel.com/products/details.aspx?PC1indexflag=PDCA200920&CategoryGroupNo=PDCA200927) is supposed to see a dial up modem.
Now obviously there are APN settings on the phone, (I'm using https://market.android.com/details?id=com.naskit.android.apnsettingsshortcut# to get to them). However, I'm not sure how the APN settings relate to what should be on the wireless router (they recommend no username, password, APN, etc). Moreso, I"m not sure if I should set the phone for charging, tether, or mass storage when the USB is connected.
I suspect that the phone simply lacks the ability to interpret generic whatever generic dialing is used. (The wireless router is designed for single-purpose usb modems as listed on it's page.) And I suspect the wireless router lacks the ability to execute what it wants (in debug mode or such) on the phone.
Ok, when u connect ur phone to ur pc and ur given those 3. Options, tap on tethering, and another screen should prompt u on ur phone. I've done this before, but its been awhile since, so ia m rusty on some of the process..(please excuse me)

I've tried it using the tether option that appears when you plug the USB in. Neither that or the wired tether app appears to work.

ok...what exactly are you trying to tether though? a portable router or a laptop?
a zyxel mwr-222 portable wireless hotspot. You can read about it here: http://us.zyxel.com/products/details.aspx?PC1indexflag=PDCA200920&CategoryGroupNo=PDCA200927
Yea..I know what that is. Its a wireless router. But are using it for a laptop? Does ur laptop not have wifi capability? That's what I'm asking. If it does, u shouldn't need that. I would have to do some further research on the dialup for the epic.

I've got two primary use cases.
1. Access point for a car. ipod, android tablet, 2 laptops, a cell phone or two. It'll also serve as hub for providing access to media stored locally.
2. Access point to stream video/audio to allow remote DJ'ing to a theater which only has sketchy wifi access.
3. As a network core I can use for establishing a network where ever I am.
While there are probably multiple other solutions, this seems to be the best product for those. Except that it doesn't seem to do the job. (The emails to Zyxel support haven't been very promising either.)

beside the car... the other devices can work off of wifi connection, and you can make your epic as a direct point of access. router not needed.

Yep other than the car you can download wifi tether beta (google it, if you can't find it I can upload the apk for you tomorrow sometime just let me know) it works great... after downloading and before launching go into the settings and set devuce profile as epic 4g and then the next setting setup method needs to be softap... now you can wirelessly tether to anything that has a wifi driver...

For the purpose of this thread, please assume I do not want to wifi tether directly to my phone and instead want to make the zyxel portable wifi router work.
well if your going to use that router...than you might have some problems. have you check the technical support page for that router?

wait a minute, have you clicked on wireless and network on the phone and clicked on tethering option? it should give you the option to check mark usb connection.

You seem to be very close minded about a solution to your problem. That being said, what are your concerns with using wifi tethering directly to your phone? Range? 5 device limit? Stability? The built in tethering app (renamed from Sprint Hotspot to Wireless Hotspot) in CleanGB seems very stable to me, compared to older versions of WifiTether and it works in infastructure mode which should work with all devices.
If you also need a wired solution, you could use an older cheap wireless router with a third party firmware as a wireless client bridge. I use a Linksys WRT54Gv4 with DD-WRT running for this purpose.
If you absolutely have to use your zyxel, use a DD-WRT router as a wireless client to your phone and then connect a LAN port on the DD-WRT router to the WAN port of the zyxel. This assumes you are not using the failover option of the zyxel. You can use the USB port of the zyxel to charge the phone.
Edit: Another benifit of the WRT-54G series is that they run on 12V DC so you could easily make an adapter to plug into your ciggarette lighter. I also have a WRT-54Gv6 which will work as well, just not as capable a router as the earlier versions.

I think what iKm going to do is buy a $35 rasberry pi (when they become available). It should support my epic as a tethered usb network device. I can then use the rasberry pi to route both the Epic (and the pi's wifi) as WAN connections to the zyxel's WAN ethernet port. Combined with a verizon usb modem that should give me my choice of 3 WAN connections (including a 3 WAN redundancy).
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...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172528 - (Reverse Tethering PC/Laptop Internet to Phone) and then whilst connected... setting up the portable hotspot feature on your phone?
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.
Hey I want to create an adhoc connection to allow my S3 to use wifi connection from my laptop?
I tried creating one but the S3 wouldn't find it on WPA and no security.
This is because my S3 has very slow speed and low connection to my routher which is two floors below me. My laptop and iPad and stuff can connect fine but not the S3. I tried the *#0011# trick but to no avail. If I try a factory reset how do I backup everything?
But how can I have my S3 connect to my Laptop for Internet, is this possible?
yea the s3 cannot see the ad hoc network its not in our wifi profile.
Last time i checked, i don't recall typical WiFi chips being able to function as a WiFi access point... could be wrong, though.
There are some apps that claim to enable ad-hoc networks on certain phones. Not sure if they are compatible with our phones our not.
If you're using windows 7, you can try connectify. It'll create a real wifi ap instead of just ad-hoc, also simultaneously allowing the computer to connect to your router's wifi.
Use Connectify
yo can use connectify and make your wirless adapter to an access point then this application could share your internet connection via this virtual access point

I am also have the same problem like you
This may have been asked before. I am curious if it is possible to connect to an internet connection sharing device (laptop, desktop), and use that particular connection for internet based access on a samsung galaxy S3. I know that you can reverse tether to allow the PC to connect to the phone for internet. That's not what I'm looking for. I have a laptop that I want to be able to connect to from the phone to the WIFI connection, and access the internet via the shared LAN connection that I have on the laptop.

Internet Connection Sharing on your Wifi, set it to Ad-Hoc so it broadcasts a signal. My laptop has Intel MyFi so that part's done automatically (I can be both connected wirelessly and share my connection) but setting it this way should work.

Doesn't show up on the phone. Is there something I need to do to allow it to see ad-hoc networks?
Has anyone sucesfully managed to tether their 4G gemini to a laptop, to share mobile data?
I've tried WiFi hotspot and USB tethering and I'm having no luck. The laptop gets an IP and gateway address from the Gemini but still can't connect to the internet.
I have no problems when I tether using a different phone.
If someone with a 4G gemini and a laptop could give it a go and let me know if it works for them, it would be really helpful.
Thanks!
Tom
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth tethering works fine for me.
Maybe tethering is blocked by your carrier.
FIle transfers do not work either

When connecting USB to usbC , the Win laptop claims connection exists, but permission to connect is missing. Hence it would seem that Gemini or Android is incapable of registering a physical connection (even if it reports slow charging" when at an USB2 port as opposed to USB3.)

I would really prefer a cabled connection to hack exposed and battery-eating wireless methods, so any advice is welcome. I tried to hook up and mount the Gemini so as to use the versatile file handler MC on it at my lange stationary Linux machine, but it seemed to be "invisible". (My Gemini is the pure android latest available version, not rooted.)
