How to use it for tethering with Android/iPhone? What setting has to be changed?

As I understand it, tethering is meant to use the Internet connection of a smart phone for a tablet or notebook computer to access the Internet. Since the Portable Mini Wireless Router has no built in Internet connection, it cannot be used for tethering. In other words, it cannot be used to connect to a cell phone network. There is no setting for that function. It can be used to provide a WiFi hotspot if it is connected to either another WiFi wirelessly or to a LAN, connected to the Internet.

I just set up the GDO on my home network, and it works fine from my iPhone over the wifi connection. I also turned off the wifi on the iPhone so I had to connect over my T-moble connection. No problems, it works fine there also. Make sure you have the correct WAN addresses set up. For some reason, the first time I set up the GDO, it did not take. Try the setup from step one again. I expect you are missing some step in the setup process.Dave

Hi Sarah,When you set up the phone, it will ask you if you want to connect to a lesser network because it uses less power in that mode. I am in Hungary using 2G now and the phone seems to be working just fine.

You have to turn on the web interface from the handset--I think it is called embedded web server--enable that and you will be able to get into the web interface to configure.

I wouldn't refer to the connection as "tethering" so I'm not sure your tethering limitation would apply. It seems to work like a simple bluetooth connection between the TomTom mobile app and the device itself. When i turn on my GPS in the car, it simply finds my phone and connects either automatically or after I tap "Allow" on my phone. The app itself does very little but it serves as the data source for real time traffic info the TomTom uses to calculate time and preferred routes. Hope that helps.

I've not down loaded any apps. I mainly got it for Internet access while away from home. Sorry! Wish I could've been more helpful

Yes, you can use it via usb tethering. And this is responsible for distributing the signal for wifi

I have only used it with my phone and torque for android. In torque you have to select which adapter you're using and whether its WiFi or Bluetooth before it will connect. Also make sure you're in range.

You have to switch it in the settings. But there's a handy app you can use with your phone. Just need the cable to connect the two.

It works but I have issues with tethering. tethering fails with error saying network error. Seems other people face this too. See the discussion thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932538

It's just for iPhones and iPads. It uses the unique Apple connector which is not shared by Android devices.

No you cant,I couldn't find any use for it, to get anything out of it you have to tether it, which cost a lot of money on your phone carrier
