SlayerS_BoxeR Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I have a wired connected to my laptop, and would it be possible for my mobile to receive that connection? (i know it logically doesn't make any sense). would usb tethering do? my school has blocked from downloading torrents and VoIP when connected to wireless (I've tried this with wired, and it still does not seem to work) - but in case I will be able to get a wired connection and use this connection from my mobile as well, will I have a chance of getting VoIP?

JJ_ Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Your schools wireless and wired network likely go through the same content filter so no, even if you were to turn your wired connection into a wireless access point using a tool such as this, you still would not be able to torrent or VoiP. Watch out when you try to avoid their filters, they usually log what block you trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ_ Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 No, you can't convert a physical ethernet connection to wireless without an access point. And even then VoIP & torrents would still not work in school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted January 15, 2014 Veteran Share Posted January 15, 2014 You could I guess use your laptops wireless radio and make it into a wireless connection (basically turn your laptop into a wireless router). Intel software and others can do that. However as mentioned it's probably routes through the same firewalls and therefore it's all blocked on the whole network. Circumventing security however is frowned upon so this will be closed from further discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
