I did a short test because I'm on a 200 mb plan but I was able to stream YouTube videos with out any problems , I tryed three videos and they seem to be fine, fast forward also seemed to work , I did not watch whole video because that would suck down some data lol

Just saying that the n7 works beautifully through the wifi hotspot feature on my Tmobile Galaxy s2 running cm10.

Using an HTC Rezound I tether Wi-Fi to my n7. Have unlimited data and use it for internet,  email etc.   Everything works just like my home Wi-Fi.

I used Foxfi v1.91 to tether my N7. I have a Motorola X2 and it worked greated.

No problem tethering to Bionic DROID with FoxFi.

I have a rooted Motorola Triumph phone and I'd like to use it as a hotspot for my N7.  I wonder if anyone is using an Android phone for the wifi on their N7.

I use PDNet on my N7 and Foxfi on my Razr. They work together seamlessly for a bluetooth tether using the Razr's 3g or 4g.

Another Bluetooth tether... Am I wrong here, but isn't Bluetooth a lot slower than Wi-Fi? Shouldn't Bluetooth be the last option?

Can someone that uses Bluetooth tether run a test for me? Download Speedtest from Google Play on the N7 and the tethered device. Run the test on both devices and post the results.

If I'm correct, there are much better options for tethering a RAZR.

Bluetooth was always a last resort for me. I couldn't stream anything with BT just browse the web.

Maybe I should have been a little more detailed in my earlier response.  First, I have a Razr Maxx and N7 both rooted.  PDNet on the N7 and Foxfi on the Maxx.  Yes, a WiFi tether is faster than a Bluetooth tether.  From my experience, for what ever reason, I cannot always establish a WiFi tether between my Maxx and my N7.   Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  The Bluetooth tether always works.  And, if you don't have the paid version of FoxFi ($6.95) there is a time limit on how long your WiFi tether will last.  The only time I tether is when I need to use my N7 and there is no WiFi available.  I only tether if I need a file off of Google Drive or Box.  I've never used a tether to steam music or video's or browse the Web for fun.  In cases where I need something that is not stored on my N7 the Bluetooth tether has always been "fast enough" for my needs.

I never knew their was a paid version of Foxfi. Maybe that is why  I kept getting disconnected.

JP,
Have you tried the SqLite edit? I too have RAZR Maxx, and it works flawlessly. This way you can use the built in hotspot and widgets. A single widget to toggle the hotspot on is much easier than starting up FoxFi and PdaNet then connecting.

No I haven't tried that one...not sure I how I messed it, lol.  Thanks for info I'll give it a try.  The only time I use PdaNet is if I need to use the Bluetooth tether.  You know, I'm not sure why FoxFi works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't.  I wonder if it is dependent on whether you have 3g or 4g.  It seems to always work when there is a good 4g signal and never with a moderate 3g signal...maybe just coincidence.  Again thanks for the lead on SqLIte...not sure how I missed that one.
