wifi tether to wii problem

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.

Nexus S 4g Radio Software update GWK74 - 2.3.7 is a lie.

The reasons that I wanted this update was the promise of better radio and to get Google Wallet.
The 3g icon is shown all the time now, but speeds are 2g at best on the same places I used to get 2g so, just the icon changed.
Even where I used to be roaming it shows 3g, but the speed, 8 to 80kbps is the average, just like before.
I'm posting links for the new apk's that came with the update plus the old apk for Netflix, the updated one won't let you watch on 2 devices simultaneously.
(I had to remove the "h t t p : / /" from the links because I'm a new user).
Wallet.apk - db.tt/cwXPbOJA
Shopper.apk - db.tt/WQPistv2
Netflix.apk - db.tt/Rif4IF1z
I'm not sure you can just download the apk to your SD and install using a file explorer.
Let me know if it works or not.
Thanks,
Digo.

Of course you can still tether. I did not lose the ability to tether when my firmware updated to the newest version.
Or did you mean tether for free if that's not included in your service plan, which is an entirely different concept?

Yes, that's what I meant, tether for free no more.

Thank you for the advice, I have Wi-Fi tether but it didn't work. It turns on like used to but my computers don't find the signal.
I see that the version u posted is newer than the one I have, will try this one and see.
I'll let u know.

Can't for free, sorry it took me so long to answer.
With android 2.3.4 u can tether for free.

Are you even rooted? lol CM7 and many custom Roms/kernels are available that let you tether natively. Maybe give some more information so we can help you. Thanks for the files though, that was thoughtful.
You can flash another radio or latest radio as well, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078213

Sorry guys, I feel stupid now . I wasn't able to tether with Wi-Fi tether, because I was connected to my home network. :|thanks for all the help.
Wild1z, I will try the cell radio that you posted to me. Tks a bunch

I have this issue too but I have a Motorola Photon. I hear that the PSV only accepts non ad-hoc WiFi connections or something like that. If I switch on my Mobile Hotspot that came built into the OS, then the PSV sees that just fine and connects to it but the internet does not work because my carrier does not allow it. So we basically need to use an app that creates a hotspot just like the phone firmware does it seems. Does anyone know of one? My phone is rooted.

I've gotten my phone to teather my old psp 1000 with the Optimus and softap settings on so I'm assuming this will work for the vita too

Tethering methods

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

Nice bonus on AT&T

WiFi hotspot tethering now works for me. On my former AT&T-branded Galaxy S2, this feature was disabled unless I were on the higher-cost data plan, which definitely was not worth it for me. But the unlocked Nexus starts it right up.
This is great for us. For example, when we're on a car trip, my wife can use her Kindle or iPod Touch to access the Internet. Same for anyplace where we don't have a good public WiFi signal.

Be careful. They monitor what type of traffick is transmitted and can figure out that you are tethering. ATT will then automatically enroll you in a tethering plan and charge you for it. It happened to Me with a different device.

As long as you're using another mobile device to tether you should be fine

This is an accurate statement. I should have clarified - don't use a laptop but an iPod or KF should be fine.

While I've heard of this happening often, it's never happened to me even after a whole 6-7 hours of tethering when we didn't have the network set up yet at my new office.

Interesting...does device type have any merit?

Any idea how this would work on the GoPhone plans? They can't really automatically enroll you in anything since it is prepaid.

You can get your browsers to mimmick a mobile device so you can tether to a PC.

Are you sure? Yesterday I tethered my Nexus5 with my Nexus7.... and when I opened a chrome browser on the Nexus7, it asked me to upgrade to a tethering plan.
How can I get my Nexus5 to tether without running into this problem......... I know T-Mobile gives you 2.5gigabytes of tethering, but is there no way around this? even if the tethering is from the nexus5 to another android device?

ATT's tethering monitoring is based on APN only (called mobile broadband). Their only method of Engle enforcement is that all their branded phones lock you out of changing the apn in their stock att modified software.
If you're on phone or wap.cingular (and PTA as well in my experience) you can tether a pc all day long. Been doing it for years regularly on my unlocked S2 then my N4, and I'm currently tethered via my N5 on phone and LTE.

So...I don't have to root and freeze the tethering file to tether? I can just go for it on my N5? I am taking a trip with the kids in the car and it would be nice to turn tethering on for their iPads. Leaving tonight and just got my N5 yesterday...so no time today to root.
Thanks in advance.

This has been an advantage of nexus phones since day one. The native tethering app works. Sure the carrier cab still try to block it from their end or cut you off, so don't over do it.

I've always been able to use tethering on T-Mobile, they never said anything to me about it or blocked be.

I respectfully disagree.
I was always on WAP.Cingular APN and tethered with my note and got auto switched to tether plan with mild usage.
I did not try to cover by using only mobile sites...

I have only received a notification once from ATT about tethering, never happened again and I have not been charged. I think its because my power was out and I really wanted to play battlefield so I just plugged my phone into my laptop and went at it.

This is very odd. I'm not saying I don't believe you, but I've done the same on wap.cingular AND others (but no mobile broadband even in the list on my apns) and I've browsed, bittorrented, etc all without issue from a real pc with no user agent hack. Again that was i9100 (tw and aosp), n4 and now n5. To be fair I don't think I've tethered a pc on the n5 yet but my tablets were fine. Maybe because I've got no contact they let me get away with more (doubtful) OR your Samsung ROM restored the apns to default from the Sim on you at some point and added the mobilebroadband apn to the list.
I HAVE been detected on tmo tethering because they detect via browser user agent. ATT does not require a spoofed user agent, as far as I can tell it's ONLY via that apn. So without mobilebroadband in your apn list you should be safe at least on a nexus or other non-carrier\aosp device.

I tether all the time with my Galaxy Express and S4. While on Jury duty I tethered for 7 hours. I never did anything to hide my tethering, just used an app that side steps the phone home thing. I'm on the GoPhone $35 plan, both my phones have been moded to use the dumb phone plans.

In any unlocked phone that feature would work.
