Anyone have a clue, how to get this working in the hero? Adhoc just doesn't cut it.
not going to happen, the hardware does not support it.
what device or os won't join ad hoc? Ive even had ipod touch's joined to my ad hoc hero wifi network. I know windows, mac and linux will all join ad hoc too, so wtf?
Low cost Android tablets are having a lot of trouble joining ad hoc.
Ps3, or other phones
Psp! And yeah, other phones wont connect to ad-hocs either. But not being able to use game consoles is a major buzzkill.

DSL Internet? I know you already pay for your data but come on, gaming on it? Or are you counting on the lagginess to get you better KDR on mw2?

Only people who have played that sad campfest they call a game would understand how funny this comment is.
Gaming on evdo is ridiculous, but if you must do it you could always just use a pc/netbook/laptop to share the wireless connection over wired Ethernet to the console.
tethered internet from a hero is tolerable but I couldn't imagine trying to use it as a primary/only internet connection for any length of time.
why would you connect other phones to a wifi tether? each phone should already have a data plan so i don't get the point..

I have been able to setup my Linksys WRT54G with dd-wrt firmware flashed and have it use my phone's data and broadcast it through the router. The router is not inadhoc mode. I had to keep tweaking with all the settings to get it to work like I wanted. There are 2 reasons that I would not do it on a regular basis, especially if you are trying to play networked games.
1. The phone becomes really hot if you do not have it in front of a fan and can fry your phone
2. The download speed may be intermediate depending on where you are and the time of day, but the upload speeds can be very slow. Considering a majority of gamers have 6Mbs down and somewhere around 512Kbs - 1Mb up you will be falling behind.

I wanted to know can i mount my g1 to my ps3 or xbox 360 so that i can read videos and music from it?
I also wanted to know if i can tether with my xbox 360 or ps3. Like connect to the g1 network on the ps3? And play online with the 3g network.
Haha I'm not the only one. I can't help you with mounting the drive unfortunately but I set my G1 up to tether to my Wii. I have dialup at home and even EDGE is 10-20x as fast and I have WiFi set up just for file sharing and the likes. But you have to have an existing WiFi connection (unless the PS3 or XBOX360 can connect to Ad-Hoc, the Wii can't, if they can just use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474470 ) and set up iptables properly, explains it in the post, it's simple enough and then set the gateway to the phone's IP and you must have a DNS server, I use openDNS just set the DNS server primary to 208.67.222.222 and if you have the option secondary to 208.67.220.220. I hope this helps, if it's not clear enough just let me know what you need help with and I will do my best to walk you through it.
EDIT: I'm a retard I left you without the most important link. Here is the link for the part where you have an existing WiFi router setup. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444004

Lol. I live a mile too far into the country to get cable or DSL and about 60 miles from fiber in St. Louis. Funny how I have 5 bars EDGE all through the area and full AT&T 3G signal on my iPhone 15 miles away but I can't get cable. Oh well, that's what I pay for unlimited data for, and as soon as I get 3G i'll use my iPhone to tether instead of my G1.
to cannon you need your sd card formated to fat32 that should work. If not the only real way is to download linux to your ps3.
EDIT: i didn't read the topic and see you did was i bout to explain to you
genius based on what you just said i can help you get a connection to your wii and to everything in your house for tht matter anyone with a router i can help pm me and i walk you by the steps it take a minttue but it surely worth it. I once play (well set-up) my ps3 over a free dial-up connection (less then 56k) so i can surely help you.

Thanks for the offer but atm I got it set up but it is a PITA. I had to turn the router into just access point mode, turn off dhcp on the router, set the wii up with openDNS, and manage to set up iptables the hard way instead of just the AdHoc "tether start" command. If yours is any simpler please just let me know and I'll gladly listen lol.

i dont think you can mount the g1 to 360..
but on a ps3 you can.. i tried. i was able to transfer movies,music,and pics from ps3 to g1 and vice versa.
and you can wifi tether the g1 to the ps3 but 3g speeds is not fast enough.. plus what phone carriers dont tell u is that theres a data cap. so unlimited data is really not unlimited.
the g1 has a 10gig cap per month and the iphone has 5gig.
so playing online will quickly reach that cap and you will be slowed down to 50k for the remainder of the billing period.
Hi,
I have been trying to find a way to enable Wi-Fi tethering from my G1 to my PSP. I have tethered to my Xbox no problem but the PSP cannot see the hotspot when tethering is enabled.
I have learnt that this is because the PSP only uses infrastructure mode for Wi-Fi connections, and Ad-Hoc (which the G1 uses) is only used to connect to other PSP's.
Unfortunatley I don't know too much about the nuts and bolts of Wi-Fi networks so this might not even be possible, but can the G1 run as a Wi-Fi tether in infrastructure mode? If not, why not? im genuinley interested in learning more about this and software development in general.
I imagine the demand for a program to enable this would be pretty high, to be able to have full wi-fi access on your portable gaming systems, no matter where you are would be fantastic. When i had previously asked on another forum about using the G1 to tether my Xbox I was told the connection would be too slow for gaming, that is nonsense, so please don't let that put you off.
Many thanks, and looking forward to your feedback and opinions.

Very true bro, 2mbps is nice and stable for online gaming, i used to do it with my PS3 2 years ago.. I know abit about wifi from long ago, its highly possible if the wifi hardware on the device which will send out a infrastructure ssid is like a routers wifi hardware, the trouble is, i'm sure mobile vendors don't want to let out harware info for software makers to make such software or else other standalone wifi portable devices will decrease in price and mobile phones with wifi would be very open to security attacks and fast to considering wifi speeds, also theres other technical glitches that could make it hard to creat a stable application being that not all mobile networks offer proper subnet masks or dns addresses, the list goes on........!!!!
This is a 2-part dilemma...
1.) is there a way to use my Wi-fi and data plan as a gateway for internet access with the computers in my home? I want to be able to turn on the Wi-fi, and the phone will become an access point and its internet connection comes from my data plan... I guess this can be done with a T-mobile G1.
2.) the way I do it now is that I hook it up via USB to a computer, and that works pretty well. Problem is, if I disconnect it via software function on the phone or just yank the USB plug out, I have to re-boot my phone before the internet sharing will work again. This gets annoying. Anyone else experience this and/or know if there's a fix?
Or am I just dumb and want everything on a silver platter?
are these computers connect in a network. I am sure it can easily be done by internet connection sharing just have all the computers connect to your pc for a connection.
I thought about doing that--basically an internet share to an internet share. That WOULD work, but I was hoping for something a bit simpler. i am not a hardcore computer user like I was back in the day where I had to have at least 3 computers running 24/7 in order to cope with life. LOL. I was hoping for a setup where I can just walk in the door from a crappy day at work, plug my phone into the charger where it gets its best signal, and just leave it there and the rest will take care of itself. I am close to being able to do that with my Xlink bluetooth cellular gateway. Once I am home, there's no reason why I have to carry my phone around the house, as my hard-wired phones in the house ring through my cellular and I can make calls from them
The other option is to quit being a cheap turd and get a $30/mo internet connection for my computers, which is faster than the EDGE service I get here at home. But I live alone and don't download big stuff anymore or play multiplayer games, etc
I think the concept in question is one that has been batted around here for some time: Can the Kaiser be used as an access point with an internet connection?
As far as anyone's been able to tell, no. The phone's wifi chip(or part of a chip that does wifi) would need to support AP mode (access point mode) where in it receives and routes multiple wifi connections' data between each other and the GPRS hardware. As far as anyone's been able to tell, the wifi capabilities in the phone are limited to single-connection only, so allowing multiple devices to connect (or even 1, unless the desired device can get internet via adhoc or bluetooth) is not possible.
You can use the WiFi connection sharing. What it does is take your EDGE or 3G connection and set your phone up as an "access point". I put that in parenthesis because it creates an "ad-hoc" network that only certain devices can detect and connect to. Ad-Hoc is a device to device network, where the normal is infrastructure mode. Also being the device it is, I'm not sure if it's going to be an intelligent network device, IE.. iTunes music sharing between local connected clients. But you can most certainly share your connection with your laptops or desktops if they have WiFi. I'll see if I can find the cab for you and post it here.
EDIT: Here you go... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4175565&postcount=90
Cool. I will look into that! I pretty much only have one computer running at a time these days, and the EDGE connection isn't all that fast to be sharing it among multiple computers anyway.
why...
Hi,
Not sure if i understand... why would someone use the "crappy" internet connection of a phone to get internet access to your home network...
It's 2009. Why not get a decent cable or DSL account

$ 30.00 for your phone data connection + $ 45.00 for your home cable/DSL connection = $75.00 per month, as opposed to just $30.00 for both.
To some people $ 45 dollars a month is a lot of money to save no matter how slow the connection is.
I am no expert but I found this software here a while ago and really liked it. There is an older version that is legally free but the new one is pay, try the trial.

Or you're like me and cant get anything but satellite internet where I live, which is way more expensive. Yet I get 3G just fine =)
WMWifiRouter
I like WMWifiRouter pretty well. It drains my battery like crazy, but when I have my phone plugged in, it's okay. Without being plugged in, my battery loses about 20% over ten minutes. Also, the free version doesn't really come with any admin features. The router is public and there's no way to see who's connected. Other than that, it's great!
The internet at my apartment is terrible and wireless routers seem to not works which forces me to use a wired connection for everything. This is annoying and I'd like to be on the couch or in the living room with my laptop. Is there a way that the captivate could set up a wifi hotspot via 3g? I've heard that this is possible on other phones, and I imagine it might be on the captivate, but I don't know how.
My phone is rooted and side load ready if that helps things.

Hi guys
I have a question.
I use my galaxy note to tether and connect to the internet with my laptop and my xbox360 at times, as the speeds and quality of service i get from my mobile provider are pretty darn good, its actually as fast as the standard 8mb home broadband that we get in this are at the moment.
I have tho discovered a problem with it, when using my note with the mobile hotspot active and connected via wifi to my xbox 360, the xbox shows the connection as being firewalled and restrictive, so it sometimes stops me getting the best out of it.
Do you guys know how to resolve this, theres no pc or router involved, just 360 and galaxy note, so im assuming the android system must have some kind of firewall system, or its because of the type of connection, and is there a way to maybe disble the firewall in the engineer settings or something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does xbox support WPA2 PSK? Did you try open network?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Thats a thought, yer the xbox supports wpa2 because it connects and lets me play games online, watch movies on lovefilm use fb etc etc, so no problems at all with the connection but no ive not tried it with an open network, i will try and see if it makes a difference, usually i dont use open networks because i have people in my area that tend to use others open networks so i try to avoid the issue by having it secure but thanks for the reply, i shall give that a go and see if it makes a difference.
