From what I have read, I dont think you can open the nat when tethering from the phone

I think the issue is tethering via 4G, not from a router.

I'm frustrated as hell about not being able to tether 4G for no longer than 5 minutes at a time, after which I have to reboot my T-Bolt and my tablet.

Im not sure how people have problems with this. I use wifi router 3.1 beta and can tether 4g for hours. All i use are the standard fix settings and there is zero issues. I play games with my laptop online when i work out of town.

I'm not finding "wifi router 3.1" or "wifi router 3.1 beta" in the Market anywhere. Is this an app? Just to clarify... this app will tether 4G LTE wirelessly to your device of choice for hours, correct? Thanks!

Edit: Found a link to what you're referring to in a different thread. Installed the APK, checked the box for the Wifi Fix, selected Thunderbolt, enabled access, and voila! Going on a solid hour of 4G tether with no disconnects! This seems to indeed fix whatever problem Verizon is having with the 5-minute disconnect.

For those who need it and may have missed it, here's the link for the fix:

Thats the one! Glad you found it. This topic should be stickied. Possibly the most asked questions on forums.

The tether apps are filtered from the market when accessed via Verizon, I believe.

I have used tethering quite a bit for Netflix, etc., on CM7 with the older android wifi tether. I switched from CM back to Sense just to try something different for a while and have used the stock tether app since then. I don't recall having a tether-related reboot. I'll probably switch to the new wifi tether, love the mac filtering in there.

I will say, though, that I always have to start wifi tether twice to get it to work (enable - disable - enable.) Then it's solid.

Edit: oh, and stuck.

Question: why is it that when I turn off my tablet, wifi won't reconnect without turning my phone screen on? Very strange. My tablet reconnects immediately to my home router, but it will only reconnect immediately to my phone as long as the phone screen is on. I've tried everything and can't solve it. Otherwise, 4G Hotspot works awesomely.

Using Android Tether 3.1-beta 11.

rom with great hotspot

---

while the wifi tether app with correct settings has given me success on most roms i've tried it on, i like the built-in and hacked wifi-hotspot on thunderstick full blown a lot. overall, full blown is a great rom, and the included hot spot works perfectly for me and keeps my number of installed apps lower, which i like as well. my .02 anyway.

I actually just installed MIUI Rom that came out a few days ago and that's been working fine. My problem with most things is that I either get good 4G or GPS, but not both. :/

For some reason though, any stock tether/wireless hotspot apps never work. The miui rom uses Cyanogen Mod.
