Hello,
Long time listner....first time poster.
I've been using WMWIFI for home internet access now for a while. My laptop and desktop have no problems finding my mogul as an access point.
I just purchased a Playstation3 (mostly for the bluray). It has a wireless card built in to access some of Sony's online stuff.
My problem is that the PS3 cannot find my mogul as an access point. Any guesses? I've searched to earth's end, however, it doesn't seem there are many people trying to do what I am...and unfortunately I can't exactly call sprint and ask them.
Thanks for any help.
Found the answer...the PS3 will not connect to an Ad-hoc network...
Reported to not work
Nintendo DS
Nintendo Wii
PlayStation Portable
Unable to connect to a device providing internet using ad-hoc mode.
Do ya'll think that there is a way around this?
I don't have any other internet access (except for the mogul) but would like to get the PS3 connected.
i'm sure theres a way to rebroadcast from the PC

The psp can connect to an Ad-Hoc network (at least the last time I tried), don't know about the others. I just know under network settings on the psp you have to change it to ad-hoc mode.
Yes it can be done. you need a laptop or a desktop to act as a middle man.
If your desktop or laptop has a wireless / wired port, simply share the internet conenction from your phone to your PC.
plug in a wire from the ps3 to the PC
highlight the wireless icon, and the wired icon in your network manager and right click and hit bridge network connections.
it will work after that.

If you have a wireless router,that should make it all work. Set your mogul to connect to the wireless router and set the router to be 192.168.0.2 instead of its default. Now setup your devices with a static IP,on the same subnet and set the default gateway to be 192.168.0.1 (your moguls ip). In the earlier versions,this just works as is.
In the latest version,you will need to set some other settings on the phone as well. Go into your phones wifi settings and set the wifi adapter to 192.168.0.1 (earlier versions of wmwifirouter set this as the default,but the newer one is more flexible,so you need to specify this) Now,connect your wifi to your routers network. Next launch wmwifirouter. Clear the check mark next to dhcp allocator and adhoc netoworking. Network block should be set to the 192.168.0.x subnet. The router wont actually be used as a router,just as a network access point. Your mogul is actually the router. The clients are setup as before,with static IPs with a default gateway of 192.168.0.1.
This is how I connect my computer to the internet. I expect that it should work with any device that can be set with a static IP.
Thank you pflatlyne...
I have a wireless router but have not been using it as my computers can access the mogul directly. I will try your set up tonight.
Hopefully I can follow your instructions well enough to get it set up.
Thank you!!
WMwifiRouter and Xbox360
This did work with my 360 and WMwifiRouter. Had to config for my settings but it works!!! Yippee
EDIT
In case anyone asks, I did'nt need anything except my phone and 360. No router, or computer. Just fired up my wifi and entered the settings in my 360. It didn't see it, but it allowed me to edit my settings. I don't know about the PS3, wouldnt mind having one though. :..(
Hmmm....I still can't get it to work..
I'm not the most literate when it comes to how to do this.
Any chance of a detailed walkthrough on what to connect to what?
I have a desktop, an Actiontec wireless router, a wireless adapter for my desktop, mogul, and playstation....
Yes a step by step would be great. I have been trying to get the wireless router idea to work with no luck.
Mine works
What I did was what the other guy said with bridging the connection. once you connect your mogul to the computer and get online through the pc, connect an ethernet cable from your pc to the wifi routers main plug.
go to network connections
highlight your internet connection for the mogul and the one for the ethernet ( on my pc it is defaulted as internet connection 11 for the mogul and 12 for my NIC card) right click the highlighted connections and click bridge. connect the ps3 to one of the available hub slots and your ps3 should connect n/p.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A ROUTER...
you must purchase a cross over cable to get an internet connection directly from your pc to your ps3. the method is the exact same as above except no router.
I'm trying to connect my ps3 to the internet using my phones internet. I have a rooted Hero using wireless tether to my pc. I enabled internet sharing on that connection and hooked up an ethernet cat-6 from my ps3 to pc. My ps3 keeps timing out trying to optain an IP address. Does anyone know if it's possible to get the ps3 to share a mobile internet connection?
Edit: Manually entered IP address and it now successfully obtains, but I get a DNS Error. I've tried a few open source numbers, none of which seem to work.
Why don't you just Wi-Fi tether? Program like wifi barnicale tether
It works from my N1 to ps3 slim
I tried that first. My ps3 wouldn't pick up the network when it would scan. I read that ps3's can't pick up ad-hoc networks. Maybe the new slims have that added feature though?
Make sure you are using one of the latest versions of wifi tether (.09 or .10). I think they now are a true router rather than a ad hoc connection

So I also have an HTC hero and what I'm wondering is if I can completely bypass using a pc/laptop and go directly from phone to console using a tether app ?
Is there a clear tutorial on setting the NAT to open on Xbox Live? I'm tethering off my Verizon 4G LTE phone.
Of course theres a way.

I was never able to find one that was complete... through trial and error I found a solid usb method. Now my only problem is this POS LG Revolution with no man support or ROMs. Seems I have to tether through EasyTether to maintain a solid connection (anyone know why?) otherwise it poops out after a couple minutes randomly which sucks because I've had my best tether 4g speeds through 3 rarely talked about apps, Tether Pop-Up and Auto-Usb Tether and SVTP no idea why but they kick the crap out of PDANet, Clockwork Tether, EasyTether. With the auto enablers / widgets I get 18-40DN / 6-12UP MB/S on speedtest.net the only way my tethering speed came close to matching my true phone 4g speeds the most Ive ever seen from the others was 7mbs dn 3up thats with easytether. So first find a tethering method that works the fastest with a solid connection (you need it otherwise constant disconnects and probation waiting for matches).
Now share your connection via pc/mac network card/ethernet cable to a Router (it must support an NZB Server)'s internet port. Set your xbox up to be a set IP address mines 192.168.1.4. leave everything else blank except dns = google for phone, pc and xbox network settings. Then login to your router generally under WLAN Setup you'll find "Default DMZ Server" enter your Xbox IP address in fields. Check to make sure MTU Size is 1500 and NAT Filitering "Open". I disable SIP ALG too if optional. Check to make sure your connection from PC is being shared and used as gateway ect in your main status and thats it. Connect to router via wireless or ethernet (faster). DMZ basically creates a port server for the xbox-router any port the xbox wants open nzb opens it (was what I understood). If your still not getting your xbox to say Open NAT make sure ips match router DMZ and xbox (dhcp crap messes it up sometimes), start opening ports on the router, pc and android for xbox you can get list of ports for COD via google and portforward on android and complete firewall bypass on pc can help too. You can achieve OPEN by simply getting all ports necessary but DMZ method much easier. As far as I know you need a DMZ capable Router you cannot WiFi tether to xbox and get open or any other way without a router to my knowledge.

Thanks, I appreciate it! One question, is it possible without a router? Just bridging PC to Xbox?
When you're using this kind of a method, your phone provider is the NAT. You can't really get around it because they control it. Not you.
However many phone providers will let you pay extra for a public IP address and then you'll have an open NAT.
I've tried just about every possible method to grt open NAT through my phone with the wifi tether app.. PC has wireless adapter connected to my phone.. Etherney cable from LAN port to the routers modem plug.. Ethernet cable from router to ps3.. I can't login to my router to change any of the settings for some reason.. I have a Netgear and my web browser keeps saying it can't find the page..

I've searched everywhere online, and it seems that the only way to do this is to remove the ethernet cable from either the router/switch/ATV.
can anyone think of any ideas to get around this? it probably won't work, but I'm downloading different network manager apps in the hopes that it would allow me to just this. I have a feeling that this won't work, but it's worth a shot.

why do you wan't to use wireless connection over wired? do u have tried to also connect to wifi while connected wired?
if it's because app only use wifi and you are rooted and have xposed installed u might use the fake wifi module
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-fake-wifi-connection-t2800416
installed via xposed. works like charm for me...
The best connection is always the connection that gets used. A wifi connection is not as stable of as powerful as an ethernet connection and thats why computers always use the ethernet connection over the wifi connection. If you wanna use wifi, disconnect the ethernet cable. Its the same with mobile devices, if you have your mobile data on and wifi on, it will more than likely pick the wifi connection, cause wifi is usually better than mobile data. My mobile data never ever kicks on over my wifi connection.

As others have said, wired is preferred over wireless for multitude of reasons. But, if you do want to use Wifi when you have an ethernet cable hooked into FTV, you can use this from adb shell:
To bring down your wired network card: busybox ifconfig eth0 down
To bring back up: busybox ifconfig eth0 up
Once you bring down your wired connection, you should be able to navigate to your wireless settings on FTV and go wifi without physically disconnecting your wired cable.
This will not persist across reboots. You will need to include appropriate code in your startup script to make that happen.
thanks everyone! I'm going to try all of these after I eat.
I agree, a wired connection is without a doubt better and preferable. However, the building I live in only offers a free wifi connection that is installed throughout the building. I'll be looking to see if I can get my own internet connection soon.
When I have the AFTV connected through ethernet, and I want to SSH, or ADB into the AFTV from my computer, I cannot for some reason. I figured it would work since the wifi and wired connections are technically the same network, right? I also can't use any remote apps from my phone since the phone is on wireless.
I usually disconnect the ethernet cord, and create a wifi connection from my macbook, or tether my connection from my phone and connect my laptop and ATV to that network. I'm just looking for a way to be able to do all of this without having to get up and take out the ethernet cord everytime. It's not that I'm lazy, I just have this external fixation on my leg from an injury.
Xfinity app
I used the xfinity app to stream cable on my aftv... I got tired of buffering so switches to ethernet.. The app thinks im out of my wireless network... Can we spoof wifi on this like some of the old apps for jailbroken iphones or in xposed? . I too want to trick my box into thinking ethernet is wifi so xfinity wont think im not on my network...
so let me see if i have this right:
1) you want AFTV to use wireless for internet
2) you want AFTV to use wired for administration/etc
if so --- setup wireless as usual, let it dhcp and do its thing....and setup your WIRED manually leaving the default gateway blank or unconfigured. This will force all traffic bound for hosts not available via wired interface to the WLAN (and the internet).
since the AFTV and your laptop/etc are wired and on the same subnet, they don't need to be routed to communicate and they will work fine. Any other traffic need to be routed, and the only outbound route your AFTV will know is via the wireless interface.
for example:
AFTV wireless: 192.168.0.10, gateway 192.168.0.1 (or whatever dhcp gives you)
AFTV ethernet: 10.10.10.1 gateway (blank)
Laptop wireless: 192.168.0.11, gateway 192.168.0.1 (or whatever dhcp gives you)
laptop ethernet: 10.10.10.2 gateway (blank)
you can then use the 10.10.10.x addresses via ethernet to communicate via local ethernet without disturbing the default internet route and internet access.

it's actually the other way around.
1) I want AFTV to use wired for internet
2) I want AFTV to use wireless for administration/etc
I can't ssh/adb/etc without taking the ethernet cord out and connecting the AFTV and laptop to the same wireless network. I was hoping for a way to shut down the ethernet connection, so I can connect over wifi without taking out the ethernet cord. The AFTV won't let you connect to a wireless network if the ethernet cord is plugged in and connected.
I actually figured out a way to do what I need without taking out the ethernet cord.
What I do is:
1) SETTINGS (not the one that came with the AFTV, it's a settings.apk I installed)
2) under WIRELESS & NETWORKS click 'More...'
3) TETHERING & PORTABLE HOTSPOT
4) CONFIGURE WI-FI HOTSPOT
5) activate the hotspot and connect to that network from the laptop

just gave that a try. now I have two methods to achieve what I looking to do. appreciate it!
I've a rooted SG-950F, using AFWall+, busybox etc etc Android 7.0
I can connect a USB Ethernet adapter and set a static IP and it all connects perfectly
I can connect to 4G and access everything as expected
I can USB tether, adb, Wifi Hotspot etc
My question: Can I connect the 4G and set the Ethernet Gateway to be 4G? making it into a 4G ethernet "dongle" or router
Anyone know what routes to add, iptables rules etc?
DNS lookups aren't a big issue as I could use local/hosts/IP etc
(ifconfig and use the 4G gateway and local network seems too simple as does 127.0.0.1)
This is to allow a non-usb non-wifi device on an Ethernet connection to access the internet via 4G

Look into root tethering solutions. What you describe is exactly how wifi tethering works, just over WiFi instead of the Ethernet adapter. You should be able to modify a custom tether mod to reference the Ethernet device instead

thanks for the response but I think that may be a wee bit above my current skills, could you recommend a simple app that would be easy to tweak?
