Has anyone used the wifi tether app to connect to a Wii console for network
access? I can connect to laptops fine and use the internet, but am unsucessful using my Hero to connect the Wii. Any suggestions? TIA
I don't know if the wii supports ad-hoc networks....

Wii doesn't support Ad-Hoc
The closest people have gotten as far as I know is
IS to a Router that rebroadcasts.
But I am not sure anyone has gotten it working 100 percent.
I gave up on getting mine to hook up.

I dont know what kind of wireless tether you're attempting with the iphone, but Android will not connect to an ad-hoc wireless connection. It must be an access point connection.
Well I don't believe its ad hoc....I don't know if some one on here is familiar with MyWi...that's the app I'm using to tether the iphone.

Hey all, is it possible to use my Galaxy S and it's USB cable to connect directly to xbox live? It's one of them gay ol' Xbox's that doesn't have wifi.
No, not with usb, but you could use the wifi tethering on your galaxy and get an ethernet wireless bridge for your xbox. I've done that with a mifi so galaxy tethering should work

I've actually used the Wifi tethering app for root users and just enabled that and was able to play with it nothing else required. Your phone does get hot and make sure you have a fast strong connection

i used the mobile ap on galaxy to go on xbox live i have wireless on my xbox but the nat is strict and i cant play nething can this be resolved the xbox connects to the galaxys access point. when i connect my pc to it it downloads at like 200kbs so i think xbox live should work.
Anyone successfully tether their N1 to an Xbox360?
My Xbox does not have wifi else it would easier.
I tried USB tether but the Xbox did not want to see it but I may have missed something.
No normal internet at my house either as I use the N1. The laptop connects to it fine.
What you do is teather to your laptop, then teather that to your xbox via ethernet cable and then in network connections, bridge the ethernet adapter to your teathered phone connection. So essentially it will go like this. Internet -> phone -> laptop -> xbox!

Ahhhhhhh, I did not think of that.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
3g isn't fast enough to load all your games properly I don't think so why bother?

I normally get about 100kb per sec download rates with the computer with it spiking up to 500 from time to time.
I think it will do it.
I am unable to get the Wireless Tether to work, maybe something with my wireless card, but are there any working USB tethering apps?

In the settings of the WiFi tether app, enable "Routing fix" and it should work. It's necessary for HTC devices.
I can connect to it but Windows 7 is constantly sitting there saying 'Identifying' but I can never get internet.
I tried it on my Lenovo, as well as a Sony Viao.
I enabled Routing Fix as well.
Any ideas?
What version of the wireless tether app are you using. Try using different versions.

I've had this issue too but mostly with AOSP roms with built in wireless tether apps. I see you asked for a wired tether app so heres one http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/downloads/list I know this works with CM7 cause I use it from time to time
A wireless tether app that worked for me is called "A Wifi Tether AP Mesh Client" made by Open Garden, Open Source. Worked every time for me.
I'm running the most recent stock rooted, that wired tether app does not work for me.
I would also like an app that works
Yes, I use an app called easytether (well I used to, before I rooted), its easy to set up and works great. Unfortunately I think it was removed from the app store as were the other usb tethering apps, but you can just go on 4shared and download it, and the app will tell you what to do from there

I have used both wireless and wired tether that is built in to CM7 with success, every time I have used them. You should give them a try.

I like PDANet, its free unless you need to use it for secured logins, vpn, ect.
Just Google wired tether made by the same people as wireless tether and if u can't find it there look on 4shared.com

Rooted, runny SynergyMod (Android 2.3.4), I was able to get Open Garden to work. Free in the market.
I'm using pda net without an issue.
For wired tether I use easytether pro
For those having problems with wifi tether....There is a trick to getting wifi tether to work. Turn wifi tether on and wait 5 seconds. Then turn wifi tether off. Once it stops, immediately turn it back on. Then connect to "androidtether" in your PC's wireless manager.
Enjoy
I ran across this thread looking for wireless apps, so I'll just say that barnacle works just fine (rooted Thunderstick GB 1.5)

The OP was asking for wired ones though
That being said, the wired tether app with cm7 works just fine for me.
Hey folks seeing Verizon is screwing us with wifi tethering I need to find some kind of temp work around. My daughters school uses ipads for all their school books and work. With my S3 i would allow her to tether when we were in the truck to do her school work. I am trying to see if maybe bluetooth will work...i have tried a bunch of different apps without luck. I understand the limits of bluetooth but I need to find something...I appreciate any assistance.

I'm unable to get it to work either, at this point the paid version of FoxFi/PdaNet+ is fairly worthless. If you go to PdaNet website they give you instructions like it's going to work...not for me.
I haven't tried on an iPad, but I do use pdanet to Bluetooth to my desktop PC and then use the share internet connection to broadcast WiFi. It's definitely slower than straight WiFi tether, but it's a work around... So I can vouch that Bluetooth tether with pdanet does work, just remember you have to use pdanets client on your other device to connect. I also use the USB tether and it is by far the fastest connection, and again on the desktop I share the connection with Wi-Fi. And my desktop becomes the router.
Best of luck, and happy holidays.

Can you establish a BT Tether between your phone and a Tablet and then your tablet can connect to the internet?

I only have a galaxy tab 3 and it's running kit Kat, so unfortunately Bluetooth doesn't work with it, I can get it to work by enabling Wi-Fi tether on my old RAZR maxx HD, not in service, and connecting to the Wi-Fi, then use Bluetooth to tether to the tablet, unfortunately it's not that simple and a pain in the butt. That's why I just connect to my computer via Bluetooth and share its Wi-Fi connection.
Hope that answers your question.
