Tethering to Android phone via Wifi hotspot

[anon(392870)]

People are getting confused as in Wi-Fi types. Yes the K-fire connects to a wifi signal but only in an infrastructure mode such as a hot spot such as your home router, mifi device, McD's, starbucks, etc etc. Will not connect via Wifi in ad-hoc mode such as a smartphone wifi tether apps such as barnacle or Wifi tether. Some apps will let you use infratructure mode but on Verizon it will require you to sign into a Verizon hot spot account if you have one.

Again... depends on what WiFi hotspot software you are using.

As I've said, mine works fine using the SQLEditor/Wifi modification without signing in on my Droid Bionic. The Fire runs off this without issue.

Quoting it from what I posted on Page 2. I'm not sure how the method works on other phones, but works without issue on my Bionic:

Obviously don't know how universal it is, works on my Bionic though:

He obviously doesn't know, but you can do a Google search for it. There is even a 3 day old blog article that has a You Tube of how easy it is.

But please don't come back and want me to re-search for it.

Mine connects fine to my Droid X running SSX2.2 using wireless tether.
