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, just got a MOTO XOOM and i have set up my wifi network. I currently have a extender connected to my router wirelessly and I am having problems connecting. I can connect directly to my router ( which is upstairs) but I cant get the XOOM to connect to the router ( which is downstairs) . I do currently have my laptop connected thru the extender, and it works great. ANyone else have any connection issues with a extender. This seems to extend out to more then the XOOM cause i have a Vizio tablet and same thing, it shows the extender when it searches for WIFI but it wont connect, just says obtaining IP then connects directly to the Router. Please any info would help. thanks
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! 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.
