Doesn't work with my mates ps3. Dont think the ps3 will work with adhoc networks which is what wifi internet sharing creates. The wifi works on a normal router and finds other networks just refuses to see my diamond. Laptop has no problems finding it. Dont know if wmwifirouter creates an access point or an adhoc network http://www.wmwifirouter.com/

there is also a program called htc wifi router, that one creates an access point, as i read, never tested it, got no data plan, i just use my mobile as client in my wi-fi

I'll test it tonight, but I don't think it will work either. simple fix? get a $20/30 wifi router and use wmwifirouter to connect to IT, then connect the ps3 to the router. done.

I have a similar question.
Now i have a connection between X360 and my laptop via ethernet. All works fine but i wouldn't start my laptop every time i want to connect to xbox live.
Is there any way to connect my X360 to wifi via my Samsung Omnia?
I tried WMWiFiRouter, but when i connect the USB to the Xbox the program says, Waiting for a (USB) connection
So, it's possible to connect the Omnia to my Home's wifi and the X360 to the Omnia connected in internet (via USB)?

You're a liar. It doesn't work without another hardware solution.

[Q] Help? WiFi Tethered to PS3 Questions.

I just wanted to know if anyone had gotten their Epic tethered to their PS3 Via wireless tether app. If so, how did you guys get it to work? And what steps is there needed to be taken for it to work?
I installed the Pre9 version and it works perfectly for my other devices, but for some odd reason when I try do a network scan on my ps3 it is unable to detect my phone. I tried googling and searching but I am still unable to find any answers. I know it maybe a noobish question, but I new to the android game and any help would greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys.
Currently Flashed on Epic Experience 1.2.04 with Herver's Baked Snacks 1.3hgz Kernel if it any helpful information.

It can't see it because of the wifi mode that Wifi Tether uses. It can't connect to an Adhoc network. Try using the i9000 Mobile AP mod, it operates with an infrastructure mode. I connect my Wii to it and stream Netflix on occasion.

I had the same problem with my Roku box. The Roku wouldn't conect to a Adhoc connection. What I did was connect my Roku to my laptop via the Ethernet, and then bridged the connections.

ps3 answer
ok this the way i use to do it on the samsung moment you have to connect your laptop or computer to the wireless tether and then on you laptop or cp you have to share connection and connect from laptop/cp with a ethernet cable...if you dont know how to do that reply back and i can help you with that to

[Q] is there any way to share a computers internet connection via phone?

I am interested in taking the internet connection from a desktop computer through USB on my phone and then using the phones wireless to share the connection to my laptop.
At my work the only way to connect to the network is if they allow your specific computer onto the network. I have been getting around this by using a mac that is on the network and setting up an ad-hoc network. This had worked well but they are replacing the mac with a brand new Dell tomorrow! Ah!
Any ideas on how I can share that network? None of the windows machines in our office have a wireless card and due to whatever security I can't just plug in.
Please note I am not trying to tether.
Thank you for any help!

Well, I couldn't think of a way with the phone. But I did come up with this. http://www.staples.com/Netgear-WNCE2001-Ethernet-to-Wireless-Adapter/product_865869?cmArea=SEARCH
Connect your computer to a switch, connect this to said switch. Then switch to lan port. Then set up ad-hoc using this? Little pricy but meh?

there are many ways to do this, you could use CM7 for one, it has wifi tethering built in.
there is PDAnet that tethers through usb and wifi (i think)
also go to the threads for your phone and look around to see how other users have accomplished it themselves.

[Q] Nook and PC Tether?

OK I have simple newbie question, is it possible to tether the Nook Color to a PC and use pc's network? Reason behind this is my wireless router is half way out, wired works but wireless doesn't (All wireless is out) and Att won't be out till tomorrow to fix. So I was thinking if it's possible to tether like you do on a phone but with a PC and use PC's network. I can tether it my phone just fine, but at the house, we have very low signal, so it's really not an option. Thanks

It sounds like your PC is connected to the network with cat5, ethernet cable right since the wireless is wonkey? Provided your PC has a wireless network card you should be able togo into the network setting and turn your PC into a wireless adhoc network that you can attach the nook to.
Unfortunately the fact you need to rely on your service provider to get a wireless network working in your household means you probably won't be able to do that without some help. This is not a dig, it's just an observation. Everyone has different skills at different things.
But can't you just go out and buy a cheap wireless router and connect it to your service providers router with an ethernet cable, just like you are doing with your PC. The instructions are pretty simply for making it password protected and all.
I just realized my post might not be all that helpful, but to answer your question the answer is yes if your PC has a wireless card.

Tether to Router?

So I can use my standard USB cable and tether to the laptop and have net connection on lappy. Same with desktop. USB tether works just the same as wifi tether. What about getting a micro USB to RJ45 (ethernet) cable and tethering to the internet in jack on my router. Would that put the net signal on the router like a modem would?

Or you could get a wireless adapter for your Desktop. That's what I did. Now I can stream Amazon Prime on my Xbox 360, and PC game at the same time.This is what I have and works like a charm.
Good luck.

Oh my desktop is already wireless enabled, that's not an issue... Been running the house off the phones for a couple years... Just gave up a little bit when I got rid of cable interet. Whole house networking to other computers in the house, had to plug the wireless printer back into the desktop, it's no longer a network printer, etc.... was just toying with the idea and wondering if it would work is all.
Actually, in looking at the micro usb - rj45 adapters, I don't think it will work. Those are actually ethernet adapters, like adding a network card to a slot on a pc. Made for taking a net signal FROM a network, not sending one TO it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you just get a compatible wireless dongle (Something you would use for sniffing/injecting packets) and use it as an access point so you can broadcast the signal throughout the house?
Another thing you can do is pick up a router that you can install Tomato or DD-WRT on and use it as a wireless client bridge. It would connect to your phone, and again, broadcast that signal through the house.

Correct. Assuming the phone would even operate in this manner (I've never tried but sounds like a great idea!), you'd need a router that is capable of operating in bridged mode/wireless bridge/access point mode (may be labeled as either of them). You'd then have to configure the router to said bridged mode. An easier route (and possibly more expensive) would be to purchase just an access point.

I may have an old WAP in my junk closet. A router that can bridge may work but first thing I think I would need is a router or WAP that has a USB connection on it.... I'm looking to plug the phone into the router to provide the internet signal instead of a cable/dsl modem, creating a typical LAN ... I can still use the LAN in-house sans the net connection. Just a pain to disconnect from one network (phone hotspot) and connect to another (netless LAN) for file transfers network printing etc ...

You shouldn't need to physically connect your phone to the router at all. Depending on what router you get, it should be able to pick up the wireless signal from your phone's hotspot and rebroadcast it as its own network.
Edit: And honestly, I'm not sure connecting the phone via usb to the router would even share the connection. That router doesn't have the drivers needed for that to work.

To the OP, off topic question but what did you have to do to activate wi fi tether? your sig, tells me that your on stock and can still do it, yes? thanks!

Side note, it's been awhile but when I moved into my apartment I had no internet for a few days.
I did the USB wired tether to a laptop, then the laptop I think I enabled ICS/internet connection sharing and then connected with rj45 to a router, and it shared that as the WAN connection.

What part of my sig tells you I am on stock?

I've done both these things. I've taken my cell and flashed a router with dd-wrt and set it up as a repeater bridge but that means that only the computers near that router gets internet, unless your house is wired for ethernet (or using wireless). My current setup is having the phone tethered to a computer running Zentyal linux. This is a cool distro that can replace a 2008 Small business server in a work environment but it does the trick for my router at home. I had it running on an old P4 and recently graduated to a Zotac Zbox Mini ID41 which is tucked away behind my TV. I set up the computer to hand out dhcp and be the router and gateway. When i plug in my cell in tethering mode, zentyal recognizes it and i set that USB device as external WAN. It usually takes some getting used to and about a minute to normalize after the phone is unplugged and taken on the road. This has worked for me so far but when i'm at work, no internet at home. I'm currently attempting to talk my workplace into letting me subsidize a Verizon Jetpack i can leave home which will do the same job.
As a side note, i live in rural WI and we only have Satellite internet as a choice, which really stinks as both carriers have a bandwidth cap which we were constantly hitting two weeks into the billing cycle. They then throttle you down to less than a meg until your billing cycle renews.

We RV all summer most years and I use WiFiRanger gear to network our 5th wheel. That way we can grab a WiFi AP if one is available and the credentials are known or I HotSpot my phone and the Router grabs the phone's WiFi AP and we are good to go.
If you are stationary and only intend to use the phone's HotSpot as a WiFi AP then WiFiRanger's GO2 should do the trick. They are currently working on a firmware upgrade that will allow some great bandwidth monitoring and device usage controls. Their price is comparable to most full featured routers being offered but not cheap.
I am a satisfied user and Beta tester of their equipment, not an employee or representative. We use several of their offerings to maximize our capabilities on the road.
