[Android General] Tryptikon:
Imagine you have an ADSL connection and a laptop and would like to share your ADSL internet connection as a WiFi connection WITHOUT any wireless routers, ONLY using your laptop's wireless modem.

I tested "Connectify" to do this but unfortunately it shares the ADSL as an Ad Hoc and Android does not scan Ad Hoc connections , However you can root your phone and install some packages to Enable Ad Hoc support in your Android Phone.

If you would like to do that then take a look at this topic:

As I was unsuccessful in the process of rooting my phone I decided to find another way. So after some research I found a software called "Virtual Router" which was not working for me again , It could not share my internet at all , it was giving me an error , After a lot of research for hours and hours I tried all the solutions and none of em were working. Finally I found the golden way (Thanks to : lewiverdatama.com/tutorial/solved-setup-shared-wifi-connection/comment-page-1#comment-454) that could let me to share my ADSL using "Connectify" which is a great application (I was using it to share my internet as Ad Hoc and use it on my iPod Touch, Apple's iOS lets you to connect to Ad-Hoc connections)

Now I am going to show you how to share your ADSL connection as WiFi (ACCESS POINT) ====>

FIRST BE SURE THAT YOUR WIRELESS CARD IS TURNED ON

I HAVE TESTED THIS METHOD ON WINDOWS 7

1. Go to "Start" and start "Run" , Type : cmd and press enter

2. Now type : netsh wlan show drivers

3. Look for "Hosted Network Supported" (you may have to scroll up a little to find it)

4. If it is "NO" , then we are going to fix it. If it "Yes" and you cannot share your internet as Access Point in Connectify then I would still recommend you not to give up and do the further steps.

5. Close the cmd window.

6. Now go to "Device Manager" by right clicking on your "Computer" and choosing "Properties"

7. Look for "Network Adapters"

8. Expand it (Double Click on it or just click on the little triangle beside it)

9. Look for the model of your Wireless card (Mine was : Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless N-100)

10. Google the model and look for the latest driver available and download it , or "MAYBE" you can get the latest driver by just right clicking on your Wireless Card model in device manager and selecting "Update Driver Software".

If your Wireless card is Intel then you can go to this link and simply get yourself the latest update easily by one click (Java required)

www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect

11. After you have updated your Wireless card to the latest version available, then you might restart your Computer (well I didn't as it was not needed at all), So you can restart it or not. It is totally optional.

12. Now as we did in step 1 and 2 and 3 you should open a cmd window and type "netsh wlan show drivers" and now look for "Hosted Network Supported". It should be written "Yes" in front of it now.

13. Get yourself the latest "Connectify Pro" application. At the moment of writing this post the latest version is 3.6.0.24540.

14. Install it. Run it and input the required details and be sure to choose "Sharing Mode: Wi-Fi Access Point"

15. Fire up your Android device

16. Enjoy the internet universe on your Droid!
