June 6, 2017

Hey Gang, We've got a meeting scheduled for the 8th! Wow, this meeting came up quick! Any ideas would be welcomed! I could show off the wifi-pineapple if people would like, I made sure to ask the powers that be that it's okay. Time: 7pm Location: WPI Student Center Rm 331 (Mid Century Room) As usual, there will be refreshments and snacks provided and we'll walk/swim to Tech pizza afterwards. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Out of curiosity, why not via Wifi? It doesn't require any drivers on the client side which is really nice. To your question, I haven't done it in over 5 years so my experiences probably are relevant anymore.

This is an unrooted Motorola Droid Turbo on Verizon. I found that I can go into Developer Settings on the phone, set the USB connection type to RNDIS, and my computer sees a USB network connection, but I haven't been able to get an IP address assigned; it says "connecting" for a bit, then fails.

Android USB tethering
by Richard Klein May 21, 2017

May 21, 2017

Does anyone have experience tethering an Android phone to their PC via USB? I'm trying FoxFi (pdanet.co) on my phone. It says you need to run companion software on your PC, and they offer that software for Windows and Mac, but not for Linux. I don't have internet access to my home anymore, so I can't search repositories like I used to. -- Thanks! Rich
