I imagined Wireless Tether would function a particular way but I had no luck.
I launched the app and the attempted to scan for wireless access points with my device, a PS3. The PS3 will not detect the phone as a wireless access point. Is this just the way it is or is it a limitation with wireless tether and/or the ps3?
thank you thank you
Since I don't know what the PS3 can actually connect to I will just say this. The wireless tether app runs ad-hoc. If your device can connect to ad-hoc networks then you can connect to it.
ive got the ad-hoc party on ps3, ima try that...thanks
edit: also, the wireless tether for root doesnt connect to wifi networks, only 3g data?

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?
How can I tether the phones wifi connection without using bluetooth is there an app that does this?
i believe that is not possible to do. pretty sure there are no apps for that.
Use this to tether your wifi connection to your laptop (if your laptop doesn't have a wifi card). This app tethers via usb cable, not wireless like anetshare and wifitether. (If you're trying to connect wirelessly to your phone to get the phone's wi-fi connection, then you're just weird)

Is there a way to tether my phone to my pc, whilst also allowing my brother to tether wirelessly?
Or put another way, is it possible to set my phone up as a router?
Thanks.
Yes, but that requires rooting your phone first.
Unless you get PDAnet, which costs $$$
I know which option i would take.
I have rooted my phone, but If I use wired tether* to connect my pc, when my brother connects using wireless tether*, it stops working for me ¬¬
*The two tether apps that come with Modaco's Desire ROM
If I understand correctly, your brother has a wireless card in his laptop/desktop, and you do not.
If that's accurate, and you have a hub/router, and you're using Windows, just use Wired Tether, and then enable internet connection sharing on the RNDIS device on your box and connect both computers to the router using CAT-5 cable.
Complicated? Yeah.
If you both have bluetooth adapters, I would recommend Wireless Tether with 'Use Bluetooth' in the app Settings menu.
Failing all this, I think you can buy USB wireless b/g adapter for like $10-20 these days. Slap that sucker into your desktop and then just use Wireless Tether.
I believe it is possible for a laptop to get internet access from a tab though the USB tether, Is it possible for it to be reversed?
Recently I broke the wifi trying to get it into ad-hoc mode, so I can't use the wifi to connect to the internet, marketplace, etc.
Is there a way for me to get a connection from my laptop to the tab?
Im on FROYO 2.2

Do you mean use your laptop as the wifi access point? In that case you will have to replace the default wpa_supplicant file. Search for the thread here....
Not as a wireless access point. I believe normally, you use the USB cable to get the internet on your computer from your Tab Data plan (Correct me if I am wrong)
So, I was wondering if you could use the internet connection from your laptop and forward it to your tab through the USB cable.
I use my tab as a wireless access point several times already-mostly at work because of network restrictions at the office.(Settings/wireless and networks/Tehtering and portable hotspots)
I don't know if you can use USB tethering from laptop to tab-probably not.....
Hi,
You can get a form.of reverse tethering over WiFi by using an application called Connectify (works best on Windows 7). Install Connectify, tell it which connection you want to share, then connect to the created hotbot on the Tab.
Obviously, if your Wifi is properly broken this isn't particularly useful, but Im not aware of any way that the USB interface could be used for tethering in that direction.
Hope this helps...

Yed as agc93 said, connectify shares your pc internet connection through wifi. You need to setup static ip address in the galaxy though.
Good luck

Hello,
I am using the tethering app PdaNet on my 1st gen iPad to tether. However, in order to tether, this app creates an ad-hoc network which my computer can connect to. I want to have my iPad in my bag and tether it to my phone without having to carry around my laptop. All of the hacks I have seen so far have involved creating a virtual hotspot on the computer and then sharing that connection.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
