Hello, if i enable usb reverse tethering on the M8 and connect it to the usb port of an active router, will an internet connection be established to the phone? Will the access speeds be similar to an ethernet/LAN connection?

I am wondering if it is possible to use the xda orbit as a wireless router almost. I have a pc thats connected directly to the internet via a cable modem which is not wireless, a wireless laptop and of course the wireless on the orbit. Is it possible to get the laptop on the internet via the orbit connected via usb to the pc? If so how?!
No it is not possible, connecting via cable disables WiFi, and enabling WiFi when the cable is in disables the USB connection. This is intentional and for security purposes.
not entirly true, you can enable it in activesync

Anyone know of a way to use USB WiFi Tethering for Mac OS X?
In this case we need the phone to act like a USB WiFi dongle you'd buy in the stores. So USB WiFi Tethering WITHOUT using the phones 3G/4G, but it's WiFi connection instead.

Internet Sharing via connection bridging" NDIS-Ethernet / ethernet to bridged WIFI.
My entire house has internet wifi connection from a bridged router connected via ethernet to a XP computer that has a windows network connection bridge between my Vogue's NDIS USB and computer's network card.
Always had dropped connections every couple of minutes with vista and windows 7 tethering directly. Found NDIS drivers for XP, made an internet bridge and connection now lasts at least a few days to a week!
This comes in handy since my rural location can only connect to internet via dialup or satellite.
Not the fastest, but 1.5mbs is far better than dialup, and we have 2 laptops, iphone, ereader, and android phone all connected to it with wifi.
Can you go into a bit more detail and share your setup? Thanks

Bro,
Android 10 rooted Essential PH-1
Software: PDANet (Paid) FoxFi Key, and VPN Hotspot.
Windows 11 HP Laptop with one Ethernet Port, 2 USB A gen. 3, and 1 USB C gen 3.1
Same version PDANet installed.
Open PDANet on phone. Tether and Hide Tether Checked. VPN Hotspot Open and ready.
PC PDANet open and ready with connect automatically block Microsoft if you want.
Connect PH-1 to any USB port you want.
PC PDANet should connect. Open control panel networks and adaptors you should see WiFi, Ethernet, PDANet, and Ethernet(NDIS). Disable wifi. Ctrl and click Ethernet and Ethernet(NDIS) and bridge them. Next right click PDANet and properties. Sharing and check allow other connection to use this internet connection. Since your other 2 eth adaptors are bridged and wifi is disabled it automatically assigns 192.168.137.1/24 to bridge (this is ics ip scheme).
Plug your Ethernet physical port into the wan port of any router set to dhcp. The wan port will get an ip from the dhcp server running on the phones tether feature as soon as you go back into VPN Hotspot and move the slider on the NDIS connection in tethering tab to on.
The PC cmd prompt route print will show you it knows nothing of the IP address 192.168.42.129 which is the NDIS USB network. But it does know about 10.1.19.2 and 10.1.19.1 which is the PDANet on your PC and phone respectively.
Is this completely necessary? Probably not but because the wifi or wired clients go through router to bridge on PC to USB NDIS to phone through VPN Hotspot your Cell provider doesn't know its tethering data and the PC doesn't have to route squat or add another NAT in the mix. The PC also will not use this connection for internet it uses PDANet and also hides tethering from your cell provider.
This is a virtual airgap people. If you configure router from the laptop you have to use remote management protocol and IP addressing. And other client wifi to router can use standard 192.168.x.x as in 0.1 or 1.1 etc to manage the router locally.
Overkill is awesome.
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?
I am trying to use my not just a hot spot tethering location, but as the internet access portal for my wireless lan. This way I can use multiple devices and not have to manually connect and reconnect to the phone for tethering. From the reading I've done, the best way is to connect the phone to the router through USB and set up USB tethering on the phone. Am I on the right path? Has anyone else done this? What kind of router do I need to pull this off?
TIA

Hi i was able to do this once. it worked great. i reset my router and somehow i cant the right settings again. heres what i did. connected mobile hot spot to computer via USB, i then bridged the connection with my Ethernet adapter. i then plugged a network cable to my routhers wan port (input) my router has a custom dd-wrt firmware. and i was able to leave hotspot connected to pc and share it out my eithernet port to my router, at that point my router would throw the signal to the air. unfortunately for me i for got my routers admin password, so when i reset the router to default i lost the settings that made it work. i haven't found them again. it works and it works well. if you have any luck let me know. i hope some of the info helps
