My tether with PSP or PS3

Anybody knows if it is possible to connect a PSP or a PS3 with the Nexus one using My WIFI Tether. I guess the most important one would be the PSP
My PSP doesn't seems to see the nexus wifi connection like the laptop does.
Thanks!

When you have wifi tether setup on the N1, the wireless radio is set for ad-hoc connection, no infrastructure. Change the Wifi settings on your psp and ps3 to connect through ad-hoc. But speed won't be the greatest, but it works.

No, I have no reason to. It should work in theory.

Seems like the adhoc on the PSP is for connection only to the PS3 and others PSP's.
I searched online but cant seem to find anyone who is using the Nexus to connect to psp

Which is incorrect. I've connected my PSP to my PC fine with Xlink Kai.

But it the PSP does not connect to the Nexus! It can't see the access point and even if I put it manually it cannot connect.

I've noticed with the new CM 5.0.5.3 the wireless and wired tether say they are not supported due to the kernal but still brodcast a signal that my laptop and psp and ps3 cannot find..
Even after reflashing to older versions it says this. I'd love to play my psp at work online

That's what I am trying to do too

I'm still waiting my 11 days to get the new CM on my nexus (see sig) but I can't remember if you could set the phones IP address and manually configure the psp to connect to it?
in theory it should work if I can get my ps3 to see it.

I have been trying to get my zune to see it but it doesnt. Cant tether to my psp either. Tethers great to my iPod touch though.

Something funny!
I tether my wife's iPhone with the Nexus and the download speed was faster than the at&t itself.

Anyone got their hotspot working w/o paying for tethering?

After rooting my phone I figured i would give the hotspot a shot. But when i try to browse on my ipad it brings me to the VZW self provision broadband page.
I normally use wifi tether, but i would rather be able to use the built in because its an infasture netowork vs the ad-hoc wifi tether gives me.

Not the case

actually your right and your wrong at the same time sadly; your right about the infrastructure network vs ad-hoc, but wrong about the 3g hotspot app vs. tethering & portable hotspot not an app.
The 3g hotspot app is a verizon product not googles in the sense your looking at.
The tethering & portable hotspot should have been activated in wireless & networks section, right between "Bluetooth setting & VPN settings" from a froyo(2.2) google standpoint but in our case its not even there.
Hope this clears up the mistakes about froyo tethering & portable hotspot and verizon 3g mobile hotspot app.

Yes it does thanks! I have a nexus one So i know what your talking about.

he stated in the post that he was rooted, he just wanted to use the native tethering application.

Does this mean that if we can get a vanilla Froyo or a custom ROM compiled from source that we'll have the true Android hotspot?

That's all fine and well except that the wifi tether app runs in adhoc mode not infrastructure.

why do not you just use pdanet from market?

There was a new experimental Wifi Tether build that was released dismorning bringing it up to Pre9. I was unable to find a change log, still adhoc?

Pdanet creates an ad hoc network just like every other third party app.

[Q] wireless tether to ps3

Can anyone help me figure out how to wirelessly tether to my ps3 the app won't work

Completely the wrong section.
First of all, if you have a ROM and kernel compatible with Wireless Tether, all you should have to do is turn it on and the PS3 will see it.
Second, it's going to be an awful experience if you're expecting to game over this connection... You'll lag like a sonuvabitch.

The PS3 cannot view an ad-hoc connection.
And no, you won't lag... I play Xbox 360 nightly on a 3G connection. There isn't even a need to turn 4G on.
To the ORIGINAL QUESTION, the only way you'll be able to wireless tether with your PS3 is if you connect to your phone with your laptop, then reroute the connection as an access point to your ps3. Look into programs like "Connectify".

Thanks a lot

False, You can just Flash the Mobile AP 9000 app also here in the developer section. Its creates a true wifi connection, not and ad-hoc connection.

You need to be on a stock, odex'd rom. Deodex'd ROMs do not work. I would say that Wired Tether to a laptop with Connectify is a better solution.

Konane...is there any chance of releasing an odexed ver of ure rom so this mobile ap wud work?

Not sure what kind of crazy lucky internet connection city you live in, but my 4g upload speeds are faster than my home internet upload speeds. Download speeds do not matter since they so far exceed what is needed. I live in Houston and yes we have pretty slow internet here.

Does the wired tether get a better connection than the ad hoc? I know for me a mobile ap tether gets a faster connection than ad hoc for me.

Yes it is, but the iPod Touch has no problem with those... Neither does the X-Box.
Ps3 and Wii seem to not want to support it.

I can't connect to my Wii or nds with connectify and they don't support ad-hoc neither... how sure are you about the deodex thing? I might decide to keep my phone stock simply due to this... and I was so excited to install a custom rom on my new epic today too...

With a rom that is not Deodexed you can use the MobileAP posted in the dev forum. I run my wii off of it on occasion.

[Q] No DUN no ADHOC rant.....Honeycomb 3.1?

So all of our phones with Wifi hotspot features create an ADHOC connection which Honeycomb does not support. Same goes with Bluetooth, no DUN. Google what the hell? Ya ya,carriers this and carriers that but what about people paying for hotspot features on the phone. I have customers that I need to setup to pair with the TF but it seems nothing will work without rooting and that can be phone specific. So the TF is great as long as you are close to a WIFI connection is supports?
If I'm missing something someone please fill me in.

I am using the hotspot feature on my Evo, and I've been tethering to it at work since the day I got my Transformer. I'm not doing anything special, just turning on the hotspot and letting the TF connect. Now, my Evo is rooted with a ROM that "unlocks" the hotspot functionality so I'm not paying extra, and I'm not using the Wireless Tether app, but it's the same concept.

The hotspot feature on your ROM is supporting a true wifi connection and not peer to peer adhoc. I can't always root customers phones.
~DC

I may be misunderstanding how it works, but this isn't a wireless tether baked into the ROM, it's the built-in Sprint hotspot feature that I'm using, just unlocked so I don't have to pay extra. If someone was paying for the hotspot feature on Sprint, they wouldn't need root, but maybe this is only the case with Sprint's implementation.

i was able to do both wifi and bluetooth tethering. took me a while to figure out, (since i've never done it before, less due to the difficulty of doing it)
assuming the phone supports Bluetooth tethering, it should always work.

I have a DroidX and I can tether using the built in stock Hotspot feature or with Bluetooth. However, I can't tether using an ad hoc connection because I get an error stating that the device doesn't support ad hoc connections...
So, it is definitely device specific and it will be something the carriers remove as many report being able to do so with root (my device is rooted and I can't connect via ad hoc - although, I haven't d/l or tried out the pdaNet app).
I will also add that the bluetooth tethering has worked MUCH better than the wifi - easier/faster to connect, runs pretty fast, and my phone doesn't overheat as much....

Works fine with my evo. The Evo has proper infrastructure wifi hotspot.
Maybe the users need to update their phones?

I went into a store to try a tf and there was no internet so I turned on my WiFi hotspot on my sgsII and it worked perfectly fine, not sure if that's the same as you're asking but that works.

a lot of clarification
Hi all,
I need your help, understanding ... well everything about wifi/TF/WM6.5/adhoc and whatever the other connection is?
I don't think of myself as a noob, but to be honest I'm lost with the wifi on the TF. So here it goes: I have TF and HD2. Under WM6.5 I can't get the TF to see the shared internet through the "wifi router" application on the phone. But then I run a custom Desire HD ROM and this one (can't remember the application) shares and gives access to the TF?!?!
First off, which is which? Which is adhoc and which is infrastructure? And what is the difference (sorry i did look on the internet, but that got me confused even more because I could not see any difference). Are you saying that a standard (not rooted Android) will have the same problem? I was thinking of switching to an android phone so that I can get the easy sharing option, but if I have to root a brand new phone????
Any help will be appreciated,
rio

Easy way to tether off a rooted phone.
Install one of the older versions of wireless tether that supports bluetooth.
Turn on the bluetooth DUN on wireless tether.
Hit ok when it asks to turn on Bluetooth and make discoverable.
On the transformer go to settings-wireless-bluetooth
Scan for your device and pair.
Once paired you should see a little wrench next to your device, click on it
Under Profiles, it should show tethering with a checkbox. Click this and in a few seconds Wireless tether should buzz its connected and off you go.
I've been able to tether my transformer like this since out of the box.
Edit - BTW I've tried this with PDAnet and other non rooted tehtering programs, and I couldn't get it to work with those options. Just FYI

the difference between ad-hoc and infrastructure is the way devices communicate.
infrastructure is kinda like the way we send messages via the post office. we send it to a central place, then it figures out how to deliver the message. this is how true routers operate
ad-hoc is peer-to-peer. imagine passing notes back in elementary school.
( Do you like me [yes] [no] )
some phones comes with a tethering app without having to root, but this typically requires you to pay extra fee to your carrier ($30 for sprint)
if you don't want to pay that, then you have to root your phone to either get a rom that already supports infrastructure mode, or download an app that does. [ ie Wifi Tether ]

people googling "honeycomb dun" would be incredibly misinformed by this thread.

You are right. I put Honeycomb 3.1 in the title but forgot to mention in the OP if anyone heard that 3.1 would have support for DUN or Ad Hoc.
Sorry for any confusion I might have caused

Tether to or from your HTC Thunderbolt? What have you read about it?
Also are you stock or rooted on both devices

Im rooted on the thunderbolt, but not on the xoom. I know i have to do bluetooth tethering, but i dont know how to do that on my xoom or my laptop. I would like to be able to use both at the same time.

ok no problem but why didn't you just google this info... Not trying to be a hard ass but just so you know these forums are helpful but people like to see a little effort made to at least help themselves...
Now with that said what rom are you using on your Thunderbolt since my boy has one and BAMF I believe comes with android tether on it.. If not a quick google search for wifi tether - comes up with this
Now you download and install that to your phone and turn it on and it will act as a hotspot which you then connect your Xoom too.
Now second choice - a quick google search of tablet tethering brought up PDAnet - which is on the market and tells you how to set it up. Now there is a twist with them since bluetooth tethering is tricky and you have to restart your device to get it working after initially connecting and disconnecting.
Ok third choice for you laptop - Download PDAnet from there website for laptops and then download PDANet from Android Market, its different than PDANet Tablet
Hope that all helps and like I said for future reference probably any question you have has been asked already... hit up google first for your answer before posting in here... No disrespect just trying to help
Edit: That version of Wifi tether also uses Bluetooth tethering... but you must turn on bluetooth tether first prior to pairing devices...

My laptop will connect to the phone, but the wifi xoom wont find it. Something to do with the xoom wont reconize an ad hoc network? But the link you posted for the android tethering worked. Thanks

Tethering to the Xoom on an ad-hoc requires you to root and then replace some system files on the Xoom.

I have never had a problem connecting to my Thunderbolt (CM7, stock kernel) with my Xoom over WiFi, rooted or when it was stock. If you have CM7 just turn on tethering in the CM settings menu and you're good to go, if not, then this info is probably useless.
