Hi, I have an iPad 1, wifi, jail broken, and iOS 5.1.1. I have recently installed the app tetherme and tetherme apn editing. When ever I go to the extension in the settings all it says is wifi keep broadcasting, apn selection, and apn settings. Whenever I go to the network there is no personal hotspot. There is no personal hotspot anywhere! Does anyone know how to either fix or do something to enable wifi or cellular data. Anything? Please no hate or bully comments.
Thank you!:)

?

You have a wifi iPad you said? Not a 3G one with a SIM card that connects to a carriers network correct?
If all the above is yes then you are really confused to what tetherme is and does.

Yes I have wifi on my iPad but i have to connect to a wifi network. All I want is a personal hotspot so I don't need to use public wifi etc.

What Tetherme does is let's you share your carriers data with other devices. Devices such as iPhones with data plans and iPads with data plans.
Your iPad does not have carrier data to share via wifi, BT or USB with other devices.
Do you understand now?
Tetherme cannot create Internet or data access that doesn't exist there. It just shares your carrier data plan to multiple devices.

You still don't get?
You think using your wifi iPad you can just get free Internet anywhere without connecting to wifi or using carrier data?
You cannot create a personal hotspot unless you have a 3G/LTE device to create and share your carrier data with other devices. That's what a personal hotspot is.
Search on google and understand what a personal hotspot is and what it does.
It's not what you think. You don't just install a hack and you have free Internet anywhere you go. Even thinking something like that is possible its nonsense.
Also piracy discussion is not allowed on this forum so don't ask how to get free apps or packages here.

Tethering requires a phone or iPad with a sim card to provide a personal hotspot for other devices to use.

Installing a software hack cannot magically give you a cellular data connection if you don't have the proper iDevice.

By the way I reported you for stealing apps.
Pay for your apps !

He never said anything about stealing apps, he just asked about good (free) apps..
[doublepost=1499887102][/doublepost]Does tetherme allow iOS 10 on an iPad to broadcast its wifi connection?

And you missed the fact that this thread was last active in December 2012? It's a 4.5 year old thread.

PS. dhlizard, the user you quoted, hasn't been active around here in quite some time. So not only a resurrected thread, a non-active user.
