Hero Wifi Tether - Nintendo WII (no worky) confirm/help? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a Wii the other day and was playing around trying to get the Wifi tether from my hero to hookup.
I got it to find the network but when it went to test connection it never actually connected to my phone. I have all the security settings off on my hero wireless network so its %100 open.
Can anyone confirm this doesn't work or help me get this operational ?

I can confirm this doesn't work.
Wii software will only connect to an Infrastructure network, no Ad-Hocs...which is wii-tarded.

You could try connecting you computer to wifi tether and then sharing the internet connection with the Wii, you would probably need to share the connection to a router and then have the Wii connect to a router.

This is possible, but I can say I have never got it to work.
The other theory is that if you have a Tomato router (you probably don't) you might be able to repeat the signal through it as a standard network. Someone on XDA tried this for me and couldn't get it to work. I have a router I could load the firmware on, just don't have the time to play with it. I took the post for what is was worth and haven't had my Wii online in about 4 months

That sucks...

Maybe later tonight I will give a go at getting my DD-WRT flashed Linksys to connect to the phone and then broadcast an infrastructure signal to the Wii, I believe it should be possible.

you will have to usb tether your phone to your pc and use internet sharing on and connect to your router for it to work properly...
Honestly the speeds are mediocre at best

dude i just got a cheap linksys router like the 30 buck one and didnt set it up or anything i just immidieatly plugged it up put the ethernet cable in the modem slot and other end into computer and it connected to my psp and my wii just fine

Use Kaiser as Router??

I was thinking of using my kaiser to connect my pc to a wireless network,
I have a wireless router in my house but i dont have a wire that goes to my room, so i want to connect my Kaiser via usb to the computer and the Kaiser to the wireles router via WIFI so i can use the internet in my room in my computer.
Is it Possible?
I have a wireless modem option on my dutty 6 hybrid rom. I would think that that option could be tweeked to add an option to use wifi instead of cellular and then you would be able to recieve over b.tooth and wouldnt need a cable either. I would donate and then ask one of the devlopers very nicely if they knew of or could write a tweek for me. But thats just what my plan of attack wood be
It is possible and there is a reg hack that allows wifi sharing over ICS - but sticking a wifi usb dongle in the pc would be a lot easier.
As a second thought, it dawned on me that i hacked a linksys wrt54gs and changed the flash/os to dd-wrt`s 3rd party software
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge
By switching to dd-wrt i then had an option to make the AP a wireless bridge and thats how i connect my slingbox to my network. I would recommend that anyone with a linksys router re-flash to this 3rd party software which enables TONS of features to this device. Hope this helps. PEACE!!
These might help you.

holy crap !
the jongma thing works perfectly with dutty's rom.
im amazed, my computer is connected to the internet via wifi signal that my phone is broadcasting. thats incredible.
on 3g its fffffffffffast!
Is there any way to use wifi instead of 3G etc? I have a Wii here at school with wireless. It wont connect to the schools wireless network because of the routers used. Im thinking if I could use the Kaiser to brodcast wifi and connect the Wii that way then maybe it would work? Any thoughts?

G1 wifi tethering for PSP or wireless game play

See my post #2 in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3219168). It appears that like the Wii the PSP cannot connect to AdHoc networks so follow the directions that require an existing connection.

The PSP can connect to AdHoc networks, but IIRC it's only used for multiplayer games. I don't think you can use the browser over adhoc. Granted, it's been years since I turned on my PSP and I never tried AdHoc mode, but /shrug.
gary actin like he wasn't part of the scene lol but anyways the psp won't stay searching long enough for it to find adhoc maybe i can code a app for hacked psp and wii to allow this (yessss i get to crack out the old sdk)

man that would be great if you could make an app
Like as noted above, PSP can do adhoc but it will not attempt an internet connection over adhoc.
I think one thing these tether-for-gaming threads fail to remember is that the ping over a tether connection will start at around 300-400 ms. A lot of games that only support adhoc play have little or no latency-compensation strategies and will be nigh impossible to play. Furthermore, unlike a wired connection to the internet, commercial cell networks are not designed to establish very robust connections. Those disconnections as G1 switches between 3G, EDGE, and no data (remember everytime you get a call, your data will be disconnected) would make keeping a stable connection difficult.
I have never lost data while during a phone call. This is not winmo, which u can not use data during a phone converstion...
I used to connect my PS3 via tethering, but it involved using a router.
Get your pc/laptop online via tethering. use an ethernet cable to connect the pc that is already online to the port on the router where you would normally connect the modem. Connect your PS3 to any of the other ports as if the router was online.
Go to network connections and bridge the connection between your active tethered internet connection and the ethernet port connection. Once the connections are bridged you should be able to get online via the ethernet ports on the router.
It worked for XP using my old sprint Mogul (or better known as the titan). I now have vista and haven't tried it out, but it should work just the same. I used to connect an xbox and a ps3 playing online via sprints rev. a speeds.

Man I didnt even think of bridging...but you are right. tried it and it worked...
i was worried about this too. Then lastnight moved into my new hosue with no internet.... Found 1 spot in room on top of Ps3 where phone got 3g.... Used pdanet through USB, then shared that connection, then conncted the ps3 through enternet and played Bad company 2 for 3 hours with no lag. Now I cant find that 3g spot for the life of me lol. Old house, built in 1927... lots of lead blocking signals.
Curious??
I wonder,...
Will the Wii / PSP pick up a standard wireless signal if you use a wireless router for this?

tether question

Is there anyway I can use Bluetooth to connect to my ps3 to use 3g internet? Thanks
If you are rooted you should be able to use wifi tethering.
Yeah,I'm rooted. But my ps3 doesn't have wireless internet connection.
Just wondering if I can do it through Bluetooth. If so, how can I get them to pair. Or is there a way to do it through wired tether. If so, where can I get the wired tether?
PDAnet supports both USB and BT tethering. I've never used it. It's in the Market, just search "tether" and there's a free version. The free version blocks secure sites.
As far as I know, the PS3 does not have any Bluetooth modem capabilities. With root, your options are WiFi tether, USB tether, and Bluetooth tether. As far as I know, there is no adapter for connecting your phone to an ethernet connection for wired tethering.
I was under the impression that all PS3s had WiFi. Am I mistaken? Or does yours just not work?
At any rate, what you can do is use a computer (desktop, laptop, any computer will do) as an intermediary between the phone and the PS3.
1. Tether the phone to the computer (with any of the three, pick your poison).
2. Setup Internet Connection Sharing on whatever connection the phone connects to the computer with.
3. Then all that is left is connecting the ethernet port on the computer to the ethernet port on your PS3 and setting up the connection.
As long as either both ethernet ports are auto-sensing or you use a cross-over cable, it should work.

Thanks a lot. I might have wifi on my ps3 I never tried it . But I will now.
Good luck with this, I can assure you that you will have a high bill with in the next few months! PS3 + Wireless Tether = High Bill and possible disconnection just a heads up!
I have unlimited data
Since we're on this topic, why do people keep saying you'll get disconnected or a higher bill if you tether? I've been told by a verizon store rep that Verizon doesn't even start "monitoring" your usage until you go beyond 5gigs/month. I've used at least 3-4gig consistently for the last 3 months with streaming music every day for a few hours each day, sometimes all day.
How does that differ from someone using it for tethering instead of streaming music, downloading apps, etc? Data is data right? Is there a way for Verizon to know you're tethered as apposed to just a heavy phone-only data user?
Has anyone ever really had a problem with this? I mean, it says "unlimited" on the data plan, and I've found no fine print limiting it anywhere so can they really legally do anything? (Thinking false advertising lawsuit if they did......)

I have done this before and use it to play MAG almost everyday for a couple of weeks. I never had any lag or disconnects and i never had a high phone bill and never disconnected from Verizon.

I've heard that Verizon can and will monitor your usage and if you use huge amounts (probably like 10+ gigs a month) then they may shut you off or at least look into it. Also heard from Gizmodo I think it was, that some cell company's don't ACTUALLY mean unlimited when they say unlimited data. Some probably have caps at about 20+ gigs or something. Never heard which company's it was though. And this all may just be a bunch of crap so don't quote me on this
I know the wireless tether for what ever reason the ps3 will not pick it up atleast it wouldnt for me I tried it a couple times just to check and see if it would work but no luck.

I too have this problem. Im using android tether and tried many different settings. I changed the channel, the ip, with and without a passcode, and got nothing. I think I do remember seeing in the bluetooth settings something about bluetooth modem. I hope someone can figure it out.

the ps3, along with pretty much everything else except for actual computers, cant connect to Ad-Hoc networks as an internet connection.
you can though, if you have a Cat 5e crossover cable (radioshack has em), plug that into your network port, then go into network adapter settings and bridge your network cable port and USB connection port. the ps3 might be able to play off of that, it works on the 360 atleast
Ok well looks like I know what I am going to mess with when I get home. Thanks for the help.

No, I just called Verizon and once you break 20 gig's of tethered data, they shut that **** down.

is there a work around "ad-hoc" network for PS3

hi all,
I have Hero CDMA; rooted with aospMod Froyo. I am using Wireless Tether for Root users.
I have a PS3.
I can not connect my PS3 to the phone wifi tether, because it is an .. ad-hoc network.
I have heard there was a fix .. a work around ...
is there??
can anyone point me in the right direction?
This is something I would like to know, as well. I'm quite sure that you wouldn't be able to play well on it, but it would be useful for downloading system updates and maybe the odd game from the store.

Hmm.... I wan't aware there was a fix
have you tried barnacle wifi tether It works where wifi tether doesn't. But I don't have a ps3 to test it on. also here's a lenthy video on how to do it using your pc. The guys a little slow but gets it done

Haven't felt the need to test this yet, but, if your phone is rooted, why not
use the Wireless tether app? Turns the phone into a wireless router, the PS3
should be able to connect to it as if it were a conventional router. no need
for any ad-hoc workarounds or bridged connections.

Pretty sure this is the only way known so far.
A slightly more indepth look at how to do it:
Connect your computer to your phones adhoc network, enable internet sharing on your computer and then connect your computer and xbox/ps3 with the cat5.

I need a little more instruction here.. please.
I have a laptop. with windows XP.
where do i enable the internet sharing on it?
so, I just plug the cat5 cable in the ethernet plug and the other end to the PS3's ethernet plug.
what settings do I set on the PS3??
thanks a bunch.

[Q] Help needed in combination of WiFi.... Radio.... oxygen1mod & USB adapter

Guys and gals...
i've searched my query here in this forum but still couldn't find the exact solution.
Im pretty new to this entire "android" platform. just got my nexus one rooted and unlocked.
my only concern here is regarding "wifi Problem". I've got linksys Compact wirelss-G USB adapter (WUSB54GC).
Now I don't know how to access it just like a router.
Secondly, When i started using it with nexus one it connected without any flaw. But some days after It's not connecting with N1, having said that
I've also used this adapter with Ipad2 and sometimes the wifi doesn't connect to the ipad2 properly.
Now how I was connecting like I always delete the existing adhoc connection and create another one and then try to connect... after few tries it connects but after few days N1 says obtainig IP address... and in windows 7 the status says connected with "no network access"
I tried "WEP and other protocols" and also without any encyption as well but nothing is working here.
Actually In our country we dont have 3G network we're still on EDGE and that costs us much so here I'm relying on my home USB 1MB connection to use it via adapter.
Currently Im using Oxygenmod FINALE
Please help me whether it's my N1 or the adapter or should there be anything wrong with the Radio i've got v4.06. with oxygen1mod finale
Ask me anything If u feel.
And yeah BTW I didn't know that Android is an open source so u can call me a "Nwwwwweeeeebbbb"
I am not familiar with Oxygenmod, but if it is Gingerbread based, I would highly recommend updating your radio to 5.08.

Thanks... But let me update it that I've just updated to 5.12 radio... I was too curious that's y i played the bet. after update nothing seems to me different network signals are same i.e 100% blutooth working and havnt tried EDGE. WiFi still not working and stuck at "obtaining IP address"
Actually In our country we dont have 3G network we're still on EDGE and that costs us much so here I'm relying on my home USB 1MB connection to use it via adapter.
I don't believe these phones have proper support for ADHOC, but it seems it is more of a computer problem if the ipad is having issues as well. Is there a reason you are trying to do an adhoc wireless network instead of getting a cheap wireless router?

well it's the first time I've got this USB adapter so I only know of this adhoc connection being made in win 7. havnt experienced a router though.

I doubt any router would support the usb wireless adapter, but you can use windows internet connection sharing to share the connection through the wired connection. Then you can hook the router into your ethernet port on your computer and share the connection that way.
Definitely not the easiest, but I have never tried sharing an internet connection through an adhoc wireless connection.

I think I need to clear something here....
My ISP gave me a USB called (EVO), I just plug that "EVO" into my computer and I can download upto 3.1Mbps and browse and surf yada yada...
then I bought "linksys USB adapter" to make my internet connection WiFi.
Now how would I connect my N1 to internet via WiFi when u say "adhoc" is not supported.
Is there anything apart from what "Bassmadrigal" suggested.? (caz it sounds too technical for me)
I don't know if ADHOC is actually supported (and if it is, how well it is supported) on Android. But if you are having issues with devices other than your phone, then I think it is going to be a computer issue that probably won't be able to be fixed with any devices on your phone.
I can try to make it a bit more non-techincal...
Buy a cheap wireless router and use the router's guide to get a wireless network set up
Plug in the network cable from the computer's network card to the "internet" port on the router
Follow this guide to get Internet Connection Sharing up and running on your computer
