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.

Bluetooth Tether works OOB with Win7!

FYI, since this is a big reason to need root... I got Bluetooth tethering to work out of the box on Windows 7. Heres to hoping todays(?) patch that contains blutooth "fixes" doesn't break it.

I thinkyou will get charged for that

From what I've heard that's not getting charged.

Using what app?

Not an app. From what I understand you turn on Bluetooth on your cell phone and laptop and connect them and your computer will think it's linked to an access point.

Oh, I see. That seems like you could be charged. =p

Can someone confirm or deny if vzw can tell if you're tethered or they think its just regular phone data usage?

Still works after the update.

Yes, they can tell.

Use internet from pc on the note

Has anyone figured this out? Connect usb and surf internet from the pc on the note and not vice versa. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, i knew this. Trying to do it using usb. some of the other samsung phones can do this.
What this would be good for.
1) no wifi router
2) connect phone using usb to pc
3) then using the internet from your pc
4) phone becomes wifi hotspot and wont affect data usage
5) use ipad or tablet to connect to phone and surf.
Get my drift?

Yes I get you, been doing the same thing on HTC phones
However, if you have a laptop with Windows 7, you don't need a wifi router
I use that method and turn my laptop to a wifi router and connect both my phone and tablet to it's network

Apologies, my mistake, read it fast
However, did you try reverse tether? see it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345

I really like this idea. If anyone tries this please let us know if it works on the Note and If phone calls/sms are uninhibited during reverse tether.

How to set Nexus 7 as a hotspot?

Hello everyone,
I've searched tons of different places looking for an answer but I couldn't get one...
My question is really simple (the answer however..), can I set my nexus 7 as a hotspot? My nexus is the 16GB version without 3G, so basically I want to:
1 - connect the nexus to a wifi network (done);
2 - share that network to other devices through nexus 7 (pending);
I've even looked at play store but the apps I've found aren't compatible with nexus 7.
TIA.

If you have your nexus connected to WiFi... Y not just connect the other device to the same WiFi....

because some of my devices are away from the router and can't get a proper signal.

I don't think that's possible.. As the wifi connection stops as soon as you turn on wifi hotspot

Bingo. Wi-Fi their was never designed to act as a range extender. It is for using a cellular connection to act as a hotspot to provide a Wi-Fi for devices that could not otherwise connect. As such, any time tethering is activated, it will, by necessity, disconnect the device from Wi-Fi.

Buy a range extender, as what you're looking to do is contradictory to the functional design of hotspot apps.

I was looking for a similar option, but to use the n7 as a wifi router. The purpose this would serve varies between users. My use, would be so me and my kids could all connect together in games while going down the road with no internet. Hard to play multiplayer while having no connection. So, being able to use the n7 as a router would serve more uses than just extending range. Those answering should see the benefit of such an ability in a larger scope, and not just the reason the op needs.

As far as I could understand that will only be possible on the 3G model. bummer..

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.

I used to love that game. I don't game much anymore, but was there lag issues?

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.
