AndroidTether is horrible slow, but is the only Tether that works with VPN since it supports "Router Fix." What does "Router Fix" do to the Android OS? I'd like to manually run the commands and start FoxFi, since FoxFi gives me fast speeds, but AndroidTether is 1/10 the speed.
Thanks.

just received my A70, installed GApps and a few programs through the file viewer after transferring via USB.
Then, I wanted to download a few apps from the market...
I got Barnacle setup on my X10, and my laptops can both see the new WiFi network created by it, but the Archos can't
Has anyone tethered using this method before?
If so, I think I am using the wrong channel to connect, but can anyone advise which WiFi channel the A70 would require??
I can pick up other WiFi networks, but can't actually connect to them due to restrictions on the routers (I'm at work, they require MAC addresses and for some reason wont let me add this to the network )
Try any channel below 11. It's a known kernel issue.
if it creates an AD-HOC connection, then that's the issue.
Aha, yes it does. Damn
I'll have to try the proper tethering method then using the cell phone tether option (which I briefly tried but failed to connect through bluetooth)
Try "Wireless Tether for root users" with it's bluetooth option. Works for me Have the tether activated on the phone while pairing it with the Archos though.
Like the title says. I've tried both "wifi tether for root users" and also "barnacle." Both will turn on but then I can't connect to it from my pc. Anybody else have this problem? And does anyone else know what to do to fix it? Thanks in advance.
Did u try running barnacle closing it out then using WiFi tether

Barnacle only runs Ad-Hoc on 3G. Setting in App. Some devices can't use Ad-Hoc.
Wifi Tether only seems to work on 4G.
Sprint Hot Spot (installed from a Custom ROM) runs AD (not ad-hoc) on 3G.
I can only get 3g from the native hotspot, no 4G tethering. It kicks me off 4G once I connects to native hotspot. The wireless tether starts with errors in the show log saying wifi interface failed. So basically thats a no go.

I can't get wifi tether to work for me either. Tried connecting to PS3 and it says "cannot obtain IP address" Hotspot works though.
So I have the Wireless Tether root app. I have also removed the T-Mo Direct Share Manager app. Wireless Tether starts correctly with the only error being ad-hoc mode (this have always happened on all of my Android devices) but the SSID is never listed on any device when I go to connect. Any ideas?
ssid broadcast is on?
which wireless tether app?
WiFi Tether... I've tried the beta and the latest stable version. There is no option that I see for SSID Broadcast.
try foxfi.
Hi all,
Does FoxFi work for WiFi tethering when NOT yet rooted, on Dinc 4? Anyone actually tested it? I'm between this and the S III, and tethering will be one of my uses. Since VZ locked S III I think I may get a Dinc 4.
Thanks for any inputs!
I have the Dinc4g, and have not rooted it just yet.
I have been trying to get FoxFi to work. My laptop will connect to FoxFi and receive an IP address via DHCP with no problem (using WPA password). I can successfully ping the phone while connected, but can *not* get out to the internet. I may be rooting sooner than later, as I too need to tether on occasion. In the mean time, I will be settling for a USB tether..
Edit: FoxFi does appear to work if you use the Proxy option (requires the FoxFi add-on). I was able to browse using FireFox after setting up the FireFox network settings to use the Proxy.

Absolutely 100% same issue here, connects, grabs an IP instantly, but it cannot browse out. The proxy-add on gives me instant web access when configured, but obviously I cannot use any other services over the proxy (like RDP, Ping, VPN, etc.) It seems almost like there's a firewall or routing issue on the phone on the NAT side of things. I can ping the gateway (192.168.43.1) but cannot route beyond it.
Can't grab IP
I'm using a Motorola Atrix HD and I can't seem to get my Nexus to grab an IP from FoxFi, even with the app.
working for me right now: FoxFi Addon, Firefox set on 'no proxy'
So I found an app that will allow you to create a WiFi Hotspot in infrastructure mode and not ad-hoc. The phone itself needs to be rooted in order to bypass your carrier's network authentication and set itself up as a WiFi Hotspot setting, but any devices you are trying to connect to the Hotspot will not have to be rooted. The name is WiFi Tether Router and is in the play store. It is a very very useful app. The encryption works lol and so many other things as well. You'll just have to see for yourself! I was able to use it successfully on a my non-rooted Asus tablet connecting to my rooted 4G LTE phone. Worked flawlessly and I didn't have to change hardly any configuration settings, only just the network ssid and password and the channel, but other than that it was great. It also has a data monitor to show data sent and received and total amount of data used, along with managing the clients connected to the Hotspot. Enjoy!
