[citation][nom]dokonewski[/nom]I currently am running a Moto Droid - original and it's rooted and has Wifi tethering which works wonderfully. I'm also running the real Froyo not Verizon's hacked up version. It is indeed a WiFi hotspot as I just connected 3 laptops at work to it and all had decent internet speed. Verizon can bite me! When we ditch RIM and got to Android I'll just root all our phones and give them the WiFi enabled kernel and the wifi tethering app.[/citation]
[citation][nom]orionantares[/nom]Do any of those apps turn it into a Hotspot? A hotspot being something that can have more than one WiFi device connect to it at a time to use the data connection AND allow those connections without using a client side program.Hi orionantares,
If you open the market app and search for "wifi tether" you will get some apps(requires rooting to intall them) that will let you do just that. I use a Motorola droid with cyanogen root and Barnacle wifi tether, and I can connect my laptop and iPod touch to the wifi hotspot on my droid. With Barnacle you can customize the name of your network, add a WEP passkey, change LAN/WAN settings and more. [/citation]
