Anyone know how to hook up wireless tether?
I hooked up my PS3 and 360 with WiFi tether, its easy too. Just put the console on wireless and scan. Know what you name your phone, I used my name, then select it and put the password in if you made one.(You should so can't no one else use your internet unless you want them too).
Once you get everything set, your phone should alert you that a device is trying to access its signal. Accept it and run a test on the Wii to make sure that you are good.
Hope that helps out.

Yeah I did all that and still getting an error on the wii
Which wireless tether app are you using? And is there anyway to get out of adhoc mode?

If you use the verizon 4g tether you are on infrastructure mode, and can connect to the wii.

i have been using wifi tether 1.6 with my mac with no problems but i cant for the life of me get it to connect to my wii...any help will be appreciated
Wii does not support connecting to an adhoc wireless network. No way to do it, I have tried a million different ways.

I know, doesn't work on the DS either. Sucks but it is what it is.
On the bright side, evo users can now make a full infrastructure network. Arguments to up grade are getting more and more convincing.

I checked out some threads but i wasn't able to find anything. I had a windows machine and was wire tethering just fine with my rooted htc hero but now i have a mac and i am wondering if there is anyway to wire tether to my mac as well? I have wireless tether for root users on my phone version 1.60 i could just use that but when i enable wi-fi encryption it still is an unsecured wireless network when i try and connect to it, i am not sure what to do? Any help would be great.
I know PDA net free works good on macs my brother has been using it on his older MacBook for a couple of months now just fine

ummmmm the stock rom has this built-in.... I thought.
Settings>Wireless&Network>Tether&portable hotspot
Yeah stock android has tethering built into the OS. Up to 8 devices I believe, or close.
So that won't require me to pay through ATT? Could anyone elaborate?

Yes
yes you don't need to pay the carrier i got t-mo and I use tethering all the time. It works great or download barnacle for creating a wifi hotspot, thats better.

I think this isn't entirely true. The carriers have some control over this, and AT&T recently changed their tethering policy. That might mean you can't tether without the proper account.
The carriers can't control tethering. They can attempt to charge for it, though, using various methods of detecting you tethering.
That's what I'm thinking about; because I bought this phone from someone here and the line is still registered to a Capptivate, how could they know if I'm tethering or not?
I would have increased upload ans download usage but... other than that how could they know?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
That, to me, is a form of control, and what I meant.
I don't know if they do this, but theoretically, it could be built into the system to know when packets are the result of tethering. More likely, is that it is built into the phone software by the carrier, and so the N1 wouldn't be subject to this because the carrier doesn't have control over that.

I see everyone is using the term "tethering" to mean your phone sharing its internet connection via Wi-Fi? I guess the definition has changed -- to me, tethering was always using your phone as a dial-up modem, i.e., using a dial-string to connect to the internet, no? For example, using BT DUN (which is advantages, as you can keep your phone in your pocket and initiate an internet connection right from the computer, although I have yet to see an implementation of this on Android). In this case, carriers can tell. For example, with Rogers, the dial string is *99# so they can tell if you are using data over that versus using data on device via the normal APN.
Yes, I believe the most of the reference for "tethering" is changed from "legacy" reference - it's either USB or WiFi tether, and in both you don't actually use the phone as a modem to establish a connection, but use its own connectivity and share the access to it.

I guess I need to catch up with the times! To me what your describing was internet connection sharing, not tethering... I guess my age is starting to show!
Has anyone found a functional wireless tethering method? Or do any of the roms listed in the development section have tethering enabeled? Ive tried wifi tether several different versions with every setting combination and cant get it to work. Shows devices connected but no internet connection

Google's WiFi Tether app is a must-get:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Set the Device Profile in settings to LG Optimus S
I leave my Setup Method as 'Auto' and have no problems tethering a number of devices. Many people choose to set theirs to Softap. IMO I've seen no difference between the two so try both and choose which one you think works best for you.
Thanks joey but ive tried that setup and it will show connected but no actual internet. The main device im trying to connect is a wii.

I don't have a wii to test, but I've used the tether for rooted users to connect my computer and Kindle Fire with no issues whatsoever.

My Wireless Tether app was doing that same thing. I think Verizon does something on their end to block it.
You can use "Open Garden" from the Play store. It works. Used it this weekend.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using xda premium
Open garden works well. The only problem i could see was if the Wii doesn't like ad-hoc networks as tje tether apps I have seen are all Ad-hoc

Ill give open garden a try tonight and see if its wii friendly

No
No i havent, i will give it a go and see what happens, thanks alot
Let me know how it goes
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I577 using xda premium
Just a little confussed on this part
Step 3: To create a hotspot, type "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=yournetworkname key=yournetworkpassword," and hit Enter on your keyboard. Remember, "ssid" refers to the WiFi hotspot's name while "key" is said network's password. You can also use the aforementioned command to change the hotspot's name and password.
This mean i have to enter my routers SSID and Key or make my own that i will use to connect on my nexus.
never mind got it working, i forgot to start it lol, thanks alot i can now connect to my pc :good:
Lol good

Nexus 7 picks it up fine etc but only issue is when i try to connect it stays at obtaining IP address.
Back when I did it, it would take a little while to connect. Try turning the Wifi on the n7 on and off a few times
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I577 using xda premium
Nope no luck, looking at the connection i set up it says no network access in the status, i wonder if thats why or i have to use static ip. Also mypc is on a wireless adapter so not sure if i have to be on ethernet or not
I used the adapter too. Maybe it doesn't support WiFi sharing
