Is there a way to connect my iPhone 4S to the Internet with WiFi when the connection is using the PPPoE protocol?

Do you mean to connect to the wireless router itself and get internet access this way?

According to Apple Support Forums,

Generally people will have a router establish the PPPoE connection and then share it with the devices on the local network.

Do you have a computer or another device already connected to the local network? If so, you might be able to share the connection off one of these devices as a separate Wi-Fi connection.

  • I would like the connect to the wireless router and then start connection to the internet using a pppoe username/password. I cannot change the settings of my router as it is blocked by the provider. Sharing the pppoe connection wirelessly from my macbook doesnt seem to work as I cannot share a (wireless) pppoe using the "sharing" part of the settings.

You could try using Connectify to redistribute the computer's connection over WiFi, not sure if it works on OS X though, check it out: google connectify.

  • Thanks for this tip. Was more looking for a homebrew iphone app to not be needing to use a laptop. This sharing tool might work; havent checked it yet. Question for me can be closed, have new internet connection without pppoe

  • Connectify is, unfortunately, Windows-only.
