[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chopstix9:
So I can use my standard USB cable and tether to the laptop and have net connection on lappy. Same with desktop. USB tether works just the same as wifi tether. What about getting a micro USB to RJ45 (ethernet) cable and tethering to the internet in jack on my router. Would that put the net signal on the router like a modem would?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kprice8:
Or you could get a wireless adapter for your Desktop. That's what I did. Now I can stream Amazon Prime on my Xbox 360, and PC game at the same time.This is what I have and works like a charm.

Good luck.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chopstix9:
Oh my desktop is already wireless enabled, that's not an issue... Been running the house off the phones for a couple years... Just gave up a little bit when I got rid of cable interet. Whole house networking to other computers in the house, had to plug the wireless printer back into the desktop, it's no longer a network printer, etc.... was just toying with the idea and wondering if it would work is all.

Actually, in looking at the micro usb - rj45 adapters, I don't think it will work. Those are actually ethernet adapters, like adding a network card to a slot on a pc. Made for taking a net signal FROM a network, not sending one TO it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJNads:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you just get a compatible wireless dongle (Something you would use for sniffing/injecting packets) and use it as an access point so you can broadcast the signal throughout the house?

Another thing you can do is pick up a router that you can install Tomato or DD-WRT on and use it as a wireless client bridge. It would connect to your phone, and again, broadcast that signal through the house.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
Correct. Assuming the phone would even operate in this manner (I've never tried but sounds like a great idea!), you'd need a router that is capable of operating in bridged mode/wireless bridge/access point mode (may be labeled as either of them). You'd then have to configure the router to said bridged mode. An easier route (and possibly more expensive) would be to purchase just an access point.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chopstix9:
I may have an old WAP in my junk closet. A router that can bridge may work but first thing I think I would need is a router or WAP that has a USB connection on it.... I'm looking to plug the phone into the router to provide the internet signal instead of a cable/dsl modem, creating a typical LAN ... I can still use the LAN in-house sans the net connection. Just a pain to disconnect from one network (phone hotspot) and connect to another (netless LAN) for file transfers network printing etc ...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJNads:
You shouldn't need to physically connect your phone to the router at all. Depending on what router you get, it should be able to pick up the wireless signal from your phone's hotspot and rebroadcast it as its own network.

Edit: And honestly, I'm not sure connecting the phone via usb to the router would even share the connection. That router doesn't have the drivers needed for that to work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motrinHD:
To the OP, off topic question but what did you have to do to activate wi fi tether? your sig, tells me that your on stock and can still do it, yes? thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thelgow:
Side note, it's been awhile but when I moved into my apartment I had no internet for a few days.

I did the USB wired tether to a laptop, then the laptop I think I enabled ICS/internet connection sharing and then connected with rj45 to a router, and it shared that as the WAN connection.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chopstix9:
What part of my sig tells you I am on stock?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrigan:
I've done both these things. I've taken my cell and flashed a router with dd-wrt and set it up as a repeater bridge but that means that only the computers near that router gets internet, unless your house is wired for ethernet (or using wireless). My current setup is having the phone tethered to a computer running Zentyal linux. This is a cool distro that can replace a 2008 Small business server in a work environment but it does the trick for my router at home. I had it running on an old P4 and recently graduated to a Zotac Zbox Mini ID41 which is tucked away behind my TV. I set up the computer to hand out dhcp and be the router and gateway. When i plug in my cell in tethering mode, zentyal recognizes it and i set that USB device as external WAN. It usually takes some getting used to and about a minute to normalize after the phone is unplugged and taken on the road. This has worked for me so far but when i'm at work, no internet at home. I'm currently attempting to talk my workplace into letting me subsidize a Verizon Jetpack i can leave home which will do the same job.

As a side note, i live in rural WI and we only have Satellite internet as a choice, which really stinks as both carriers have a bandwidth cap which we were constantly hitting two weeks into the billing cycle. They then throttle you down to less than a meg until your billing cycle renews.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SCClockDr:
We RV all summer most years and I use WiFiRanger gear to network our 5th wheel. That way we can grab a WiFi AP if one is available and the credentials are known or I HotSpot my phone and the Router grabs the phone's WiFi AP and we are good to go.

If you are stationary and only intend to use the phone's HotSpot as a WiFi AP then WiFiRanger's GO2 should do the trick. They are currently working on a firmware upgrade that will allow some great bandwidth monitoring and device usage controls. Their price is comparable to most full featured routers being offered but not cheap.

I am a satisfied user and Beta tester of their equipment, not an employee or representative. We use several of their offerings to maximize our capabilities on the road.

i've seen posts about unlocking the sim, but those are for GSM,

I have a sprint one max, currently using it on sprint, but i also have a verizon DNA that i use on verizon. i will soon be wanting to use my one max on verizon, how do i achieve this with the one max?
[HTC One Max] cstrife999:
Can't. All Verizon phones must be provisioned by Verizon. That's why you can never buy an unlocked phone and go to them with it.
[HTC One Max] mrkrowely:
well that stinks!

FOR CHEAP!
[HTC One Max] mrkrowely:
i'm still curious and why you couldn't flash a verizon hboot, raidio, firmware, and rom, insert an actual verizon sim card and it work?

i'm sure it wouldn't work to it's 100%, but 90% of the bandwith usage on both devices are the same, both are cdma and LTE.
[HTC One Max] cstrife999:
Verizon has to provision all phones for use on their network. Without their allowance nothing else matters. Imagine their network like a WiFi hotspot. You have the ability to use it but lack the passphrase and no ability to find it out without the owners permission.
[HTC One Max] mrkrowely:
i have a verizon droid DNA, with an account, what if i or could i put the "ID" and everything of my max to look like it's the DNA, and flash the verizon MAX rom and everything, just altering the info file to match the new DNA id's so that it installs?

There is no way to do it. It doesn't matter what you copy Verizon didn't provision your meid......
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jasjamming:
Well,

the imate site states that the JASJAM has BT1.2 but the hermes by nature is BT 2.0= (without EDR, gee that could have atleast put that on as well)

What's going on here? I dony believe they changed the hardware..... they just placed their LOGO on the device and loaded some useless imate software.

Any confirmation on this issue?

EDIT: I have only read one post that says its BT2.0, but I guess I am looking for more confirmation on this matter.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] mikespe:
I've had my Note Pro for 16 days now and I know I will be keeping it. I have been contemplating on getting a accident protection plan because the tablet is so big & one small drop could kill it instantly. Di any of you purchase an accident protection plan...either Squaretrade or other...and if so are you glade you did? I have always had Assurion for my phones &never needed it until a few months ago when I dropped my Note 2 on concrete & cracked the screen. It was worth it to me at the time...

Thanks!!!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
Yup this is my second note pro. First one was a total loss and was uninsured when I lost it by accident (stupidity really). On my second purchase I got squaretrade. No regrets, just peace of mind. Don't pay full price, Google for discount codes.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] mikespe:
I've been looking for a coupon code and went through about 30 pages of google searches but all the codes were expired or used. I signed up for their newsletter & got a 20% off code but I seen codes that were 30-40%...With the 20% a 2 year plan will cost $95 (plan+ NYS tax) but i was hoping to bring it down a bit more if possible...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] mikespe:
Well I decided to just call Squaretrade and ask for a discount and they gave me 30% off. So I did a 2 year $75 deductible plan for $79 and NO NYS sales tax!!! I hope I never need it but it's good to know I can get a new tablet if something were to happen!! If I didn't plan on using my tablet at work I'd probably wouldn't worry about a plan...but anything can happen out of the house!

***EDIT*** Well it looks like they did charge me NYS sales tax but still it was only $86....
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] kkretch:
I have purchased square plans for 4 devices now and have never had to use it. Two of the devices were sold on eBay at about 13 months old and I believe the plan helped mine sell very quickly as other units for sale on eBay that were less money had not. The warranties are transferable so that is also a plus. Sometimes you can get a better price on purchasing your plan from Amazon, Newegg or Tigerdirect even with a discount code direct from Squaretrade

[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
No that's not usually how it works, and I don't even know if new laptops are being produced with only 3.0 or not, you should be able to tell. It is easy to notice if the color is red or blue and sometimes orange inside the port on your laptop. If it is, then they are indeed 3.0 and that is your issue.

Yes one is red and I think the other is blue. I'll check it out tomorrow when I have access to the laptop. So I need a 2.0 port for it to work? Interesting. No wonder I was having the problems!!
