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.
Hi, I got a laptop without a wireless card for internet connection. So I've been using my HD2 as a USB wireless device, which gives me internet everywhere. THat very nice, and it works extremely well, however I got a question. WHen at home and at work I would like to connect to the wireless router, and not to my mobile internet, is that possible?
Because even tho i connect without problem to my own router at home, I cant really make my HD2 use that for my computer. Is it even possible?
nope... and that is the whole purpose of a wireless card, to pick up wifi signals from a router
It is possible.
Use ICS Control:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377047
Setup should be as follows:
public interface: BCMSDDHD1
private interface: RNDISFN1
Connect your HD2 to WiFi network, click "Start ICS" and plug the cable in to your PC. Should work If you have XP, you should kill Active Sync process first.
Thank you, however I'm not sure that I do everything correctly.
There's quite a lot of settings in that pieve of software, is all I have to edit really the public and private interface drop down boxes? Nothing else?
And when connection to wifi, shall i then just minimize ICS controls, go to phone settings and connect to wifi there?
Thank you
What you want is for your phone to connect to the internet through wireless connection, not your phone's data/internet connection?
If so, then it's definitely possible. Not only at home and work, but also at many wifi spots throughout the world. How you go about it depends on some things.
Does your home and/or work wireless router connect straight to the internet (such as a connection from the wireless router to a cable modem, etc.) ? If so, you only need to know how to connect with the wireless router and your phone should default to that connection for internet when your phone's wifi is turned on. You can always turn data connection off when you turn wifi on to make sure it goes through wifi.
If your wireless router does not connect directly to the internet but one of the computers on the router's network does, then you'll have to use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on that internet enabled computer as posted about above.
I want my phone connected to the wifi router, simple yes. However, then I want my phone to share the internet from the router, with a computer connected to the phone via usb cable.
So my phone will actually work as a wireless usb device, connecting to a wifi router.
WMWiFi Router provides following options on the phone:
1)3G converting to WiFi
2)3G converting to USB
3)3G converting to BlueTooth
4)WiFi converting to USB
5)USB converting to WiFi
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
Derek
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.
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..

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.
