Root Wifi Tethering

[GandalfTehGray]

I have been using the wifi tether that comes with apex without problems the last couple of days, however today about halfway through work i noticed it several times dropping to 0.0 kbps even with 4 bars and 3g up. Any one else having problems with it?

Not me. I'm wondering if the other programs running are shutting down your wifi. Might I suggest you try to re-initialize WiFi if this happens again? See if it works and let us know.

I have been restarting it each time it happens, even tried with Barnacle and i keep getting the same problem, which programs could cause this?

 

[Steven58]

I've found that when my programs ping the internet (using il, yahoo, etc) while I'm using wifi, the wifi stops.

Hmmmm so guess i should slow down updates for Widgets

 

[Steven58]

Its worth a try, bro.

I seem to remember an issue with ipods. You may need to use 3g hotspot.

It happens to me a lot. I simply put the phone into Airplane mode and then immediately turn Airplane mode off. This will reestablish the data connection without too much fuss.
