So you went out launch day and picked yourself up a shiny new iPad Wifi and now that the 3G models have hit the market, you’re having buyers remorse about the whole thing. You want to be able to use your shiny new iPad wherever you want with data access. Well, with just a little fiddling, you can actually ‘tether’ your iPad to your iPhone, allowing it to share your iPhone’s internet connection. Not only that, but you can tether any laptop computer that has a WiFi connection as well.
Here’s how to tether your iPad or laptop to your iPhone to share data…
WARNING: I am not responsible for any additional charges you may have on your cellular bill if AT&T objects to you using your data plan for more than the intended 1 device. I haven’t really heard of them cracking down on people that tether much, but you never know!
First things first, you’ll need to Jailbreak your iPhone using the Spirit Jailbreak. It’s a simple, painless process that only takes a couple of minutes. For our guide to Jailbreaking the iPhone 4 click here. If you’re curious what this whole Jailbreaking thing is all about, check out this article.
Your iPad does not need to be Jailbroken for this.
Now that your iPhone is Jailbroken, follow these simple steps:
- Launch the Cydia App Store and search for the MyWi app.
- Install the MyWi app (It’s 10 bucks, but it’s worth it, and cheaper than even 1 month of limited iPad 3G).
- Once you have installed the MyWi app, go into the app and under tethering turn “USB and Bluetooth” OFF.
- Before you turn everything on just make sure that bluetooth is turned off on your iPad and iPhone.
- Then name your new wifi network something simple. After this you just need to turn “WIFI Tethering” ON.
- Once your new 3g wifi network is up and running, just go to settings on your iPad and change the Wifi network to the one you just created in step 9.
- That’s all she wrote! Now you have 3g on your wifi iPad
Funny enough there are actually some benefits to tethering your iPad that you wont get even with an iPad 3G. For one, many apps actually throttle your connection when they sense that you’re connecting via a 3G connection. With the tethering setup, your iPad thinks that it’s connected to a direct line via WiFi, not over 3G at all. This means that you’ll get better video quality in apps like the ABC video player, YouTube and Netflix. Not to mention all of the money that you’ll save by not doubling your 3G data plan!
