*** Use this application at your own risk. It is possible that use of this program may violate your carrier's Terms of Use/Terms of Service. ***
This program enables wifi-tethering for "rooted" handsets.
Clients (your laptop for example) can connect via wifi and get access to the internet using the mobile connection (4G, 3G, 2G) of your phone.
Wifi-tethering creates a so called adhoc (peer-to-peer) network on most devices. Infrastructure-mode is suppported for a large set of devices.
** PREREQUISITE **
1) Root 2) Netfilter-enabled kernel (most stock-kernel nowadays come with such a kernel).
** FEATURES **
-) Widget-support. One-click enabling/disabling from your home-screen. -) Disable tethering after a configurable idle-time. -) Access-control feature. Allow/deny clients to use your mobile-data connection. -) Wifi-Encrytion. 128-bit WEP in general (adhoc). WPA/WPA2 on supported devices (infrastructure-mode). -) Settings for wifi-ssid, wifi-channel, „lan“-network and more. -) And more ...
** TROUBLESHOOTING ***
-) On HTC devices with stock rom it's required to enable "Routing fix" from app-settings. -) If only certain websites can be opened you might have to enable "MSS Clamping" in app-settings. -) If you notice reboots or if the wifi-interface is unusable after tethering UNCHECK the "Force wifi-driver reload"-option in app-setting.

Excellent Had to change the settings to win0 for ICS and do not forget to restart your phone works great all the time Droid RAZR HD

Great app. I have used this app for very long time on my RAZR Maxx and other phone prior. The latest update however would not work. After a couple of various setting changes I downgraded to older version and it works fine. 5th star held due to update.

No galaxy s3 on Sprint This app was the reason I rooted againbut it looks like it's not supported. I'm a wifi nexus 7 user and need to tether my phone. I know there's a hacked version available out there from xda for the s3 but that doesn't work either. Please fix gentleman.
