PS3 and wifi to Sprint Hero

hi.....
I have been trying to establish a wireless connection with my PS3 Slim
I had a HTC Diamond with wifi tether...before my Sprint Hero..
I have rooted my hero.. and now running tether wifi.
they both act the same....
my laptop can see and use wifi
my Tivo can see and use wifi
But my PS3 Slim (purchased in November 2009)
The PS3 can see other wifi in the area... but not the cell phone tethers
does anyone know.. why or can give me a guess?
thanks...

PS3 needs to connect to an Access Point, Wifi Tether only creates an ad-hoc network as far as I can see.....

I did ot think that it made a difference to the device.. because.. it sees it as a connection point..

you can only connect with a local wifi network or via ethernet

Is it possible to Connect to phones Wi-Fi?

I'm not trying to tether my 3g/4g connection. I want to connect to Wi-Fi with my phone and then have another device connect to my phone's Wi-Fi connection.
The reason I'm trying to do this is because upstairs I have a good connection with my phone to Wi-Fi, but my Google tv can barely connect to my router.
It's this possible? Thanks for any help!

I think your talking about wifi tether and it is possible, go to wireless and network settings and select tethering and portable hospot

So you basically want to use your phone as a WiFi range extender? No, that's not possible because the phone cannot connect and broadcast a WiFi network simultaneously. Buy an apple airport express. I've used it for that exact purpose, and it worked really well.

Wifi Tether

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?

[Q] Can I Tether A Wi-Fi Connection

Hi guys. This might be a silly question, but here goes.
I am currently staying in a hotel with my family abroad. Each room gets only one username and password for their Wi-Fi network. Once used, no other device can use that username and password. The problem is that there are 3 devices in the room.
I was wondering if I could use that connection on my note 3 and wirelessly tether the connection to everyone else.
I have managed to do this through Bluetooth tethering to a note tablet, but the third device is my dad's iPad so I don't think that's gonna work. My best bet is Wi-Fi tethering to him.
Wireless tethering is disabled when I'm connected to the Wi-Fi network, so I guess my best bet is an app.
Is this possible, and how?

You can use wifi hot spot on your device if iirc, then run the other devices via the Note.

If you have a laptop, you could connect to the wifi through your phone, and then tether your phone to the laptop via USB. Then install a hotspot program on the laptop to enable other devices to connect to the laptop, as if it were a router.

Wifi tether through Wifi Tether Router

Anyone know a working tether app? I used to use wifi tether router before moving to this phone but i tried it and it seems to enable ok but the SSID never shows up on the PC. Currently stuck using the built in android tethering and while it works i worry that i will be throttled because tmobile only gives 2gb of tethering before its throttled.
