Alright, so I know how to broadcast wifi with my MyTouch 3G already using Android Wifi Tether (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/)
However, I want to be able to broadcast as an Access Point, not as an Ad-hoc network.
Is there a patch or fix or program that does this? Or some sort of other setting that will enable it.
Basically, I want to broadcast Wifi so another Phone (Or PSP or NDS) can connect to it (Because they do not see the Ad-hoc network).
I cannot find anything that does this specifically.
Thanks for the help!

Can the G1 detect and connect to Ad Hoc WiFi networks? My router is fried, and there are no open networks nearby with strong signal.
I made one under Linux and another one under Vista, the device doesn't see both and entering it manually does nothing.
I suppose it can't see AdHoc networks.

I believe that it CAN detect ad-hoc networks.
I setup an ad-hoc connection from my pc, and it detected it, but there was no network activity. I probably did something wrong, but, I am not sure why it didn't work.

I use USB Wi-fi adapter for wireless connection and I need to say that G1 don't allow to use adhoc connection, it need only wifi router.
Some month before I see the answer from T-Mobile support that G1 can't use adhoc connection.
It's sad, bcoz my last WM phone (Tytn) has no problems with adhoc connection...
Alas I feel your pain. I use adhoc for my iPhone frequently because at school I can only jack into an ethernet because the WiFi is protected. But my G1 can't so I am doomed to EDGE when i'm in my mom's classroom after school

is this a software issue that can be fixed or is it a hardware issue?
Software. In fact the phone can MAKE ad-hoc networks that other devices and computers can see and join. That's how WiFi tethering works. You can start a wifi tethering app and use the ad hoc connection it creates, without using the cellular tethering at all, or you can examine the tethering scripts and extract just the part concerning the wifi.
I experimented a bit, and was able to change almost everything needed to share Internet from the PC to the phone, except default gateway on the phone...

I guess everyone who has an unlimited data plan thinks "Haha stupid stone age idiots want adhoc HAHAHA" . Damn it. I live in a stupid country and I don't have an unlimited data plan. I want to connect to my laptop's wi fi. Please anyone help!!!
Here's the solution

The important part is to tweak the windows part - you need to tell the broadband/adsl internet connection to share itself to the Private wireless network (the network manging your Wireless adapter). If you are having trouble with the windows part (say you connect and have full bars on the phone but no access to web) google ICS (internet connection sharing) in windows and you should get it working.
Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm extremely new to all this.
I am trying to set up my MyTouch to be a wifi hotspot for my rooted Nook Color. From what I've been reading and experiencing in my efforts to get it to work, is that the NC doesn't recognize ad hoc wireless connections.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks for the help!

Sounds like you need to look for an android-wifi-tether application.
This program enables tethering (via wifi and bluetooth) for "rooted" handsets running android (such as the Android DevPhone 1). Clients (your laptop for example) can connect via wifi (ad-hoc mode) or bluetooth and get access to the internet using the 3G, 2G mobile connection or (in case you are using bluetooth) the wifi connection which is established by the handset.

Not what he's looking for. He's looking for an app that will broadcast an actual network, not just an ad-hoc connection, which that app does.
Has anyone connect the HD2 to the Cradlepoint successfully? The HD2 broadcasts only adhoc wifi and I need it to broadcast infrastructure wifi so I can connect my TouchPad to it. The Cradlepoint would allow this on some phones so I'm curious if anyone tried it before I buy it. I'm not interested in rooting my phone with Android for now. Thanks in advance.
Is the Wifi Direct functional on u8800? how to test? What new capabilities does our phone get, if it works?
I have been wondering this too. Someone please respond!!!
Wi-Fi Direct is a standard that allows Wi-Fi devices to connect to each other with no need for a wireless access point.
In simple words you can transfer data(pictures, audio etc) wirelessly with high speeds and there is no need for a router!.
To test it you should have two Wi-Fi direct enabled devices(i haven't found a second one that supports this feature)
Isn't that achieved by a simple ad-hoc wifi network?
wi-fi direct is just ans ad-hoc connection.
You can create a ad-hoc connection between your laptop and phone using this feature, albeit I have never tested it before with this phone.
I really didn't get it. Is it possible to have a working wi-fi direct on u8800 with ICS ?
Is it possible, to be connected to a WiFi with your android device, and share it yourself while being connected to it? Because i can only share ADHOC over my laptop, which i can only connect to with my rooted android, and my new android phone cant connect to it... help please.

What exactly are you trying to do? Using something like "Wifi teather for root users" you should be able to set up your phone as a wifi router. Clients (your PC) would get internet access via wifi and your phones cell network connection.

Yep, so tethering will share your mobile internet connection (GPRS, 3G, ...) with other WiFi-capable devices like your notebook. And when tethering is on, you can't connect with your mobile phone to a WiFi network because the WiFi chip can only operate in "client" or tethering mode (as long as I know).
Anyone else think that wifi tether uses way for data than it should?
