I use this USB antenna to connect to a Wifi network, and now I want to forward this connection to my tablet, so I bought this mini USB router in order to forward the connection. There is an app that goes with this router, which I believe I did set up properly, since it does connect both my smartphone and tablet to this computer, BUT there is no Internet! So now I am wondering what am I doing wrong... 111111111.jpg
As you can see in this picture, I have 2 networks now (I am connected to Huawei_nwfjcj, and also it shows the wifi network that the router created, 360 Wi-Fi), the "unindentified network" is the one that doesn't have internet forwarded. Does anyone know why?
 
You don't have to tether. Tablet's almost always have Wi-Fi abilities. Do you have a tablet model # and manufacturer name?

I don't think I was clear with my intentions. I have a long range wifi antenna which provides my PC with Internet connection. My tablet CANNOT reach this source since it is 150m away, so I need to use the wifi routuer on my PC to forward the connection to it. BUT the router does not forward Internet, it only connects the tablet. THAT is the problem.
 
Since English isn't my native language, it might be better to explain with this diagram:

If this doesn't explain the situation, then I give up. 360 Wi-Fi is the connection that I use to connect with my tablet, and this connection does not forward any Internet to it.
 
There are 2 ways to set these up one the tablet has to enter a password or 2 on the pc you grant access which are you using if they dont enter password they wont get internet. Is it the one in chinese which doesnt helpbut the video may give you the idea

That's the same software, and I did the exact same thing, and I did set up the passwords and I did connect them, and there is a connection, but there is no internet.
 
we need to know what the ip, subnet, gateway and dns is on the tablet when its connected. It doesnt help it all being in chinese
 
Maybe this video will help.
