[App] Free Wireless Tethering (Root Required)
1) You need to root your phone. If you have not done this, please go HERE
- This is not the place to discuss if you are having issues rooting. The only reason root is mentioned is because its necessary to make wireless tether work.
2) Go HERE to download the apk to your phone. Typically people download the top one as that's the newest release. Don't worry if the LG isn't listed yet, it works because it's kernel is netfilter enabled
3) Once the APK downloads click it and it will install. If you get a warning about un-verified apps click settings and allow for unverified apps to load. Now click it and it will work
4) Open wireless tether, click menu on your phone and go through the settings.
5) Once your all setup, have fun

Troubleshooting (in this order):
-Did you download the version from the market? Uninstall, go to the link in step 2 above, and download from there.
-Reinstall the binary and config. Open wireless tether app and Menu > Settings > Menu > re-install binary/config
-Make sure you don't have wireless tether set to shut off when your screen turns off. Launch wireless tether, Menu > settings > Check mark "disable wake-lock"
-Have you tried switching to a clean channel? Download wifi analyzer from the market and find a clean channel in the area you are going to be working. Inside on wireless tether, set it to use that channel. Launch wireless tether app and Menu > Settings > channel.

I have never been able to get Wireless Tether to work, which I believe is due to it supporting WKP2 security only.

I ended up doing the DUN hack, and setting security to WEP, which works fine.

With the help of Upstreammiami, I got rooted tonight and downloaded the WiFi tether app from the store, but could not get it to work. Found this thread and did as Upstream suggested....bingo bango bongo, now it works!

Cool!

Recently downloaded this myself straight from the market and it seems to work fine, but I'm not using encryption. Does that make a difference as to whether it will work or not?
