Motorola Droid Hack Brings WiFi Tethering

Tweet

For many of us, tethering is what makes high-speed 3G connections so great, and network operators know it, hence why many have blocked it for their customers in an effort to get people to sign up for a new Internet plan. Among those who still “care” about us, Verizon have announced some time ago that the uber-hypedMotorola Droid will be getting tethering support for a price. But what if we’ll tell you that you’re just a simple hack away from bringing WiFi tethering to your Droid?

We already heard that USB tethering with your laptop or PC is possible, but now we caught wind of a Droid hack that will supposedly allow access to high speed internet through the handset’s Wi-Fi connection.

More to it there’s no need to run any shell commands as users get to control it right through the phone’s GUI. All you need to do is to install a custom kernel and a custom recovery image, and voila, you have Wi-Fi tethering on your Droid smartphone.

Full steps on how to hack your Droid for WiFi tethering can be found on DroidForums (link below), so get them done and remember to restart your handset right after.
