Can the nexus 7 tablet be used as a WiFi hotspot

Do you mean the Nexus 7 with wifi only, or the Nexus 7 with HSPA+? The one with wifi only can't be a hotspot, because it relies on wifi itself to get a connection. The one with HSPA+ probably can act as a hotspot with a program like FoxFi, although I don't have firsthand experience.

I'm sorry, I forgot that FoxFi doesn't work with Jellybean yet. There are several other tethering apps, but I don't have experience with them. I'm sure someone else on this forum can help you, though.
