Hi i use my Samsung s4 to gain access to my pc internet by tethering it which works very well with download speeds in access of 24 mb which is pretty quick for me ,but as I was on line using a Ethernet internet cable with my Amiga whilst then having a normal internet provider ,I was wondering if any one has managed to get there internet up and running using a smart phone to work as a way of getting internet on there Amiga ,I already own an amigakit wireless adapter that fits in to the pcmia slot on the Amiga and the drivers that come with it ,just wondered has any one tried it best wishes Brian
I was able to do it with my iPhone(registered pdanet) but I ended up using a netgear ethernet to wireless bridge connected to PCMCIA 100mb card.
My easynet card still works but when I was transporting it around from flashing it (to get the WPA) it got bent ever so slightly and the LEDs quit working. That is what I think happened anyway. Without the LEDS, while I could still probably get WPA working, it just was making it that much more difficult.
Now I have samsung galaxy s3 which I have not tried, but I also use pdanet on that and assume it would probably work just fine.
I also get better speed on my s3 than my home DSL which goes a max of 1.5mb. I have seen the phone reach over 10mb late at night on my upstairs level...
I wonder how hard it would be to write a driver to connect pdanet directly via USB to Amiga. Where I keep the amiga downstairs has no 4G anyway
