android-wifi-tether


Wireless Tether for Root Users

This program enables tethering (via wifi) for "rooted" handsets running android (such as the Android DevPhone 1). Clients (your laptop for example) can connect via wifi (ad-hoc mode)and get access to the internet using the 3G, 2G mobile connection which is established by the handset.

This application requires a "rooted"-device and(probably) a custom-kernel which supports netfilter (iptables)! Please see the FAQ for detailed information.

For support, please see the FAQ or our Google Group. Also, consider donating if you enjoy the product.

Warning

Use this application at your own risk. It is possible that use of this program may violate your carrier's Terms of Service.
