I'm trying to tether my iphone using any of the cydia tethering apps, and using my iphone as a modem to connect to a router. I have iPhone with jailbroken tethering capabilities, and a linksys router with DD-WRT on it, When you said "Create a wireless hotspot on your smart phone, and set router to gateway option." Was you implying that you should make a personal wifi hotspot with your iPhone & using that Asus Wireless Access Point first, and then put a router into gateway mode to share via cat-5 or AP? How do you set a linksys router running DD-WRT to gateway mode? I get 14 megs down and about 4 megs up with the 4g connection - it's faster than my cable service in the city.

I've been using this for weeks now with no problems. Connect the ethernet port to a hub.and you're off to the races.

You create a wireless hotspot on your smartphone or iphone, set the router to the "Gateway" option which then sends the WAN feed to it's ethernet port. Then I decided to take a chance on this piece of gear: http /It works perfectly and is the perfect solution for those who want to create a WAN and share an internet connection to multiple computers using their smart phone or iphone as a modem. It worked fine, but the the problem is, you can't file share with the machine running ICS.along with numerous other issues that are presented with Windows ICS, notwithstanding DNS.

#CONNECT IPHONE TO USB HUB WITH ETHERNET WINDOWS 7#
Yes, I went the route of hooking it up (tethered) to a computer and then sharing that connection via Windows 7 ICS using two NICs and dumping the shared NIC's feed into a hub via a crossover cable. I recently had the same issue, trying to set up a network at the cottage using my cell phone data plan/4g network as my WAN and then distribute that connection to multiple computers. I thought I would comment on this, even if it's a little dated.
