WMWIFI and Playstation3

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.

HD2 as wirelss usb device?

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

[Q] Internet connection sharing

Hi,
I*m running PACrom/stock kernel and I'm trying to make the following work to no avail yet:
I want to share the Internet connection I get on my N7 WiFi wirelessly from the router to my desktop PC via WiFi, Bluetooth or USB.
Although there are lots and lots of different apps regarding tethering/connection sharing on the Playstore, none has worked for me yet.
I tried FoxFi, Wireless Tether and so on, but nothing works. Either the app complains about the N7 being in an "unknown mode" and therefore refuses to work, or I can establish a connection between the device and my PC, but it stops at some poin, not getting an IP adress or similar issues.
Searching for solutions online mostly brings up this issue in regards to an Internet connection established via mobile 3/4G data, which doesn't help me at all.
Basically, my question is whether there's a solution which lets my share my Wi-Fi Internet connection on my Nexus 7 to my desktop PC, I don't care if its via WiFi ( would be my preference, but I don't even know if its possible to create a HotSpot on the N7 my desktop can access while still being connected to the other, Internet providing WiFi connection) Bluetooth or USB, whatever works is fine by me.
Would love to get some helpful advice/successful storys from you guys

Have you tried Proxoid? It's http only, basically a port 80 proxy that passes the http traffic over the phone's data connection via USB cable... I've used it on my Galaxy S3, but haven't tried to use it through the Nexus 7's wifi...
http://code.google.com/p/proxoid/

let's figure out a way to choose a wireless network connection over a wired one

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!

Ethernet to LTE/Data internet sharing

Hello.
I got this USB-C dongle with an ethernet connector which I just tried and gets a LAN IP through DHCP and can even browse while on Airplane mode. Now, I would like to use that ethernet to share internet to a LAN network using the phone as a router.
Why? I would like to try doing some load balancing and other crazy stuff with my appliance firewall using the phone's ethernet as wan2.
Has anyone attempted this? I've googled with no luck.
Thanks!
