Hi everybody,
A week ago I could cast from my phone to Shield TV while it was connected to ethernet.
But now it's not working anymore.
I tried to reboot, reconnect, factory settings etc but nothing works.
On WiFi it works fine.
I hope anybody can help me througth this because connecting to the ethernet is so much better.
Thanks in advance
Do you have a router setting like "set AP isolated"? That would stop you from communicating between clients.

I just checked. It was disabled.
Is your WiFi Access Point setup in bridge mode or router mode? If router mode, wireless devices are living in their own network subnet and are not in the same subnet as your ethernet devices so a wireless device won't see a Chromecast device (SATV) that is connected via ethernet and vise-versa. Set it to bridge mode and that should clear things up.

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'm setting up new 2 router...
but still dont know how to connect from A wireless router to B wireless router in order to expand the range of internet,.
1st thing what do i need?
thanks
U can use WDS or just set your second router as an bridge.
Normaly you have an option to set wich behavior your router must have.
AP / Gateway / Bridge etc...
If you can set it to wireless bridge you can select your first wireless network and let your second router connect with it.

how can i connect from WIreless router to wireless router without wire?
By wifi.... your router picks up the "original" wifi signal and broadcasts it again...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Distribution_System
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!
Hello! I just bought an nvidia shield tv and I have a problem: I need to connect it by ethernet with my nas in a private lan (not connect to internet) whereas for internet I'd like to use its wifi. By now it is connected by wifi and works well, but I can't ping it in the lan so I'd like to know if it's possibile to use the wifi for internet and its ethernet for a lan and if so how because i tried to change the parameters in network but both DHCP and static didn't work. I have a strange fear that the ethernet interface will be disabled if it detects a wifi connection, if so i am badly screwed (and with a useless shiled for my needs)
TY for your help!
Sorry can't help. But if a usual android device can do that, you could flash a usual android rom to your shield tv and try.
Check this out, still seems like alot of work to get it done.

Hi,
I have the following problem:
My LAN has a router and two APs, the router is a fritz box (IP 192.168.178.1), the APs are a Netgear R6400 v2 running dd-wrt (IP 192.168.178.2) and an older TP-Link on dd-wrt (IP 192.167.178.3).
From my cell (Xiaomi mi 9) I can stream via chromecast thje Shield as long as the Shield is only connected by WLAN to my AP. It doesn't matter to which of my APs my cell is connected, it doesn't need to be the same AP as the one to which the shield is connected.
Once I turn on LAN on the Shield (which then connects to the router), chromecast on the cell doesn't see the Shield anymore.
When connected to the LAN, the shield has IP 192.168.178.53, and my cell has IP 192.168.178.70.
From the computer on which I am typing this post, I can ping all of these 4 devices.
Btw, there is another device, a Panasonic reciever, connected to the LAN, and I can access it from my cell, so I assume that the problem actually comes from the Shield.
Any ideas how I can fix this, making chromecast work even when the Shield is connected by LAN?
This is strange now, I have deactivated the chromecast app (apps/system apps), cleared cache and data, activated it again and restarted the Shield - and now it is working again.
