Hi Folks:

I rooted my Samsung Infuse today and plan on using it as a wireless hot spot. I can connect my computers and iPad2 to it, but the Galaxy Tab doesn't see the connection because it is ad hoc.

Is there an easy way to fix this? I'm not sure I want to root my tab, so I'm hoping there is an easy fix.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help.

I'm not sure it's possible without rooting, but check this thread:

On the question of ad hoc wireless connections from the Galaxy Tab 10.1, I believe this is possible.

I use an Eye-Fi wireless SD card in my camera and have set up a direct connection (no router) to my Tab to successfully transfer images. Tab isn't rooted.
