I was wondering if its possible to use wifi tether to connect to a ps3?
Because I tried but my ps3 won't run.
i googled it a while back got it to semi work but never fully functional you cant auto detect the settings have to manually put them in
same thing for xbox 360, I've tried wireless and wired (bridge over pc) tethering in the past, fails at NAT (network address translation)
To be honest, I have no idea why you would try. Even under the best 3G conditions, any game would have a high risk of lagging hardcore. I can see if there is no internet, so bummer, but I don't think it would be very playable.

I've played several games over 3G on laptop... it's not *quite* as bad as you'd think, with a good signal, it just depends on what games you're playing... just don't go around expecting to play any massive multiplayer first person shooters over 3g

can we get more details on this?
AFAIK PS3 does not support ad-hoc wireless networking. The PSP certainly doesn't...
Not really considered adhoc tethering. Should work if you know the proper setting for the PS3. Physically I guess it is adhoc but the PS3 should recognize the Hero as regular access point... so technically it's not.
I was a PS3 technician at SCEA.
So since I don't have any Wifi to connect to I've got the pc tethered to pc. i'm sharing it's internet connection.
confused as what exactly for manual settings i need to enter xbox side? or what further configuration pc side?
Anyone know how to get hero to serve as a hotspot rather than an adhoc network? I can do it with the new version of wifi tether on my evo, but not the hero. I've tried a dozen different versions and setups.
Also, for those who think its too slow; I play modern warfare online all the time with evo 3g connection with no issue. Also stream justin tv and ps store movies. May just be a reception issue for some.

Infrastructure mode is now being supported for certain devices if you go to the google code site for wireless tether for root users. I can't say for sure whether it works for the Hero or not, though.
What I do is with my w7 laptop, I have an ethernet cord running from the laptop to my ps3 or xbox, whatever I decide to play. I have my hero flashed with dc 1.2(?) for the correct PRI to do mobile network sharing, then I connect my hero, turn on MNS< bridge the connections, and I game online (all the time) and have a rare lag here and there, and an occasional boot, but nothing to get pissed over. it's a blast, really!
3G wifi Tethering without laptop
I tryed to connect my PS3 wiresly to my Tilt 2 using but it never seems to find it. I dont have a computer and 3G WiFi on my cellphone is all i got. Any tips to get a Tilt 2 wiresly connected to a PS3?
Wireless Tether for Root Users creates an Ad-Hoc network, which the PS3 can't identify.
Sadly the only way to do it IS to have an internet connection to the computer and set up a public network via wifi.
Edit: Overlooked the ethernet cable method, my mistake.

This is exactly what i do but with winXP. I get some lag every now and then but multiplayer is surprisingly very playable over 3g.

I think the Hero is missing certain drivers that can only support an actual hotspot connection rather than ad-hoc.
I have a Sprint hero and just want to say it is possibly to play online using the wifi tether. Though ive only done it on the xbox 360 but see no reason why you wouldnt be able to do it on the ps3. You connect as if it were a router and thats it!! I only had two bars and still played MW2.. just try it
dwigginstm can u explain how u do it?
I try that already it dont really work for me, you really need to get good signal if you going to connect wifitethering if the signal strong it might be picked up on ps3. But if you connect to ps3 with wifitether your game that you playing might lag cause of connection from your phone

just curious, has anyone been able to tether htc hero to ps3. Been trying, but ps3 wont detect it.
I dont think the PS3 will find AD-HOC networks
What about via Bluetooth?
Go ahead and grab yourself a crossover cable, and bridge the connection through your PC.
I don't even think with wifi on the speed of internet your PS3 will get wil pass for anything online
Pretty sure Sprint's 3G doesn't have quick enough burst speeds to play online. I tried that with a 360 once and it didn't work too well.
Yes, I use Sprint and have and HTC Hero, which I installed PDANet (by junefabrics.com) which I connect to my PC via USB... then I also use a program called "Connectify" which, if you are running Windows 7, will use your wireless card as an "infrastructure" device, letting you connect to the internet with your PS3. I lag some when playing CODMW2 but overall it kicks ass!
Hm unless you have full 3G bars.. i dont think you would make it pass the Signed in notifications. Online game play would be choppy.. really
worked great on Rev A on with my hero and xbox 360. NO LAG.

what was your setup.....
thanks again everyone else for your help.....
I used a PC that had a wireless connection and a lan connection. You can use a laptop. Bridge wireless connection with LAN. Connect with ethernet cable. I used a normal cat5 but everyone says use crossover. Turn on xbox, hit repair on the bridged connection. Play XBOX!! Worked flawlessly with halo. Had lag with NHL.

Pretty sure it depends on where you are. It works perfectly fine for me, playing SoCom and streaming medium quality video. Had to tether to computer then share to wifi router.
There's an app for ps3 media server in the market, that turns your hero into a media server. It's works pretty good for media, not internet though.

Wrong. I game on one bar, 3G.
For a windows 7 laptop with a wireless card in it.
1) Go to junefabrics.com and select pdanet for android.
2) download the PC version.
3) on phone, go to market and download pdanet free edition
4) google (topeka) Connectify and download and install
5) set up conectify as a infrastructure (NOT AD_HOC)
6) connect your hero to laptop via USB and turn on pdanet, connect to internet
7) enable connectify
8) set up your ps3 to connect to your connectify "router"
9) play online on your ps3!
hi i am trying 2 get a wifi signal of my phone so that way i can play online on my ps3 do does anyone know how to do that
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-mobile-wi-fi-router.html
3th party program required
You can do this with the program posted by the guy above ^^
Or, find a ROM with the WiFi router program cooked in..
However mobile internet may be a *bit* slow to play video games over
i already attempted this ages ago, and failed miserably, for some reason my PS3 wont pick up an AD HOC connection from my Touch Pro unless im doing something wrong

hello, I suggest to buy a WMWiFiRouter. It is the best solution ever I think! I use it for two years, it has many usefull features and I have never had problems with that!

PS3 Works in infrastructure mode only, AD HOC is NOT supported.
I havn't gotten a chance to play with the WIFI router cooked into my Energy rom, but I dont think it should be AD HOC.
I actually was trying this yesterday at a friends house for the 4th. He doesn't have an internet connection at his house and we wanted to play battle field and COD online... Well after looking an looking... The PS3 does not support ad hoc (I don't know why... ) The only way to do it is get a cross over cable (yes it is different from a regular lan cable) and plug it into a laptop/desktop and then connect that to the cell phone and set-up internet connection sharing on the laptop/desktop... I really hope they unlock it in a firmware update and I am rather sad they have locked it out...
I am using the wifi router cooked into the energy rom Version May 8th I think and I also had the cab for WM Wifi router and non of them allowed me to connect the PS3 wirelessly.... I hope this answers your question..
*edit* I was using a touch pro 2 btw.
Well has the title says, I connected my Android phone to my xbox 360, but the question is whats your experience, doing this. Do you get lags, cause sometimes, I do. Can you connect to party mode or invite people to game match, cause i can only do this with specific people, (I guess because of their internet speed), and is there any hints of getting better online play experince.
I dont have answer to your ? but, how do you connect your phone to the xbox360 and can you use your phone like a controller IE: to move through the menu?
I connected my laptop to my HTC inspire by using its WiFi Hotspot, then afterwards I connect my xbox 360 to my laptop by using Ethernet Cable, and to set it up, go to "Control Panel" > "Network and Internet" > "Network and Sharing Center" > "Manage Network Connections" and when your there, highlight both connection icons (One most likely be called "local Area Connection") thats represents your Xbox 360, and (other is Wireless Network Connection") that represents your HTC internet. When both are highlighted right click and choose the Bridge Connections. When that is complete go into your xbox and test your connection and your done.
And the phone controller, im not fully sure what you mean?
i really cant imagine xbox live would be anything more than crappy using a tethered internet connection from your mobile phone. perhaps im wrong but id use a more reliable internet connection.

I seen some where on here that some user were able to use their phone to control the wii but not sure which phone, but What I was thinking was using my phone to move through the dash board of xbox rather then using the controller

you can connect a wii remote to your android phone to play your nes, snes, gba, n64 and etc, (You can find it had a app from the market) But it didnt work with my phone.
Using it has a remote to scroll around your xbox, is not posssible or maybe for now.

My experience was, for the most part, laggy. But there were definitely times when I could play online lag-free. I've had entire sessions (more than a couple of hours) where it was entirely smooth as if I was on a traditional router.
As for improved online play experience, that solely depends on speeds. As your data speeds increase, so will your online play experience.

I do this on a daily basis. I don't have to much trouble with it. I do have Moderate NAT and sometimes I hit huge lag spikes and get lagged out of the game. But it works okay for the most part.
Anyone here been able to use native hotspot successfully with xbox live. Im getting strict nat tpe and cant sign in.
Ive looked all over for the past few hours and everything im finding is old stuff and ive tried a few things but no go.
I have a strong data connection but nat type is strict and it tells me mtu error. When i check advanced diagnostic the xbox shows a 1240 mtu i think it was so it seems i need to bump it up to 1500 but how is the question

ive ran my xbox off my hotspot the last few years, as i travel for work all the time. it always seems that some games work, some dont. the best way to get most games to work is to open your security on your hotspot, but then you have people hijacking your wifi all the time. even if xbox says your wifi is strict, alot of games will still go through. its just a matter of trial and error truthfully with each individual game.. When i was on my s5, s4 and s3, ive been able to get more games to work with me, but without the ability to change the aspects of the wifi hotspot through buildprop and systems files (which i dont like to change too much when there is no recovery available lol), as well as unlocking the ##3282# codes (i hate calling sprint for $#!* like that), theres not too many games being able to run at the moment. sorry for the long post but like i said trial and error man

Yea my thing is i cant even get xbox to connect to live internet works great. When trying to connect to live is when i get the mtu error so i haven't been able to set up my account, maybe Microsoft changed some requirements on the one vs 360

very much so when i got the xbox 1 it took me forever to figure a lot of stuff out haha. internet and stuff like youtube always work fine for me. ive had success with the ethernet crossover cable method as well as the usb method(im sure youve found those on google). its best to have a computer to rerout stuff to the xbox, but its worked sometimes and not with the xbox 1 with these methods, hit or miss until you reboot everthing a few times and it finally works. best method to me is the ethernet crossover, trust me if you run everything oof your phone/computer its worth the $20 investment or whatever it cost now

I have get a strict nat with my xbox one when tethering with my m8 but games see to work just fine. Occasionally I will have issues where a friend or two can't hear me in multiplayer but setting up a private chat works fine. Right now I have the m9 and the edge but I haven't tried it yet to see how it will work.

Weird indeed it wont even let me sign in says to check my connection. When i go to check multiplayer connection is when it tells me i have a problem with the mtu.
Last night i tethered to the laptop and shared my connection with my nic card and ran a crossover cable to the xbox and that still didnt work.
Well i bit the bullet and am having cable internet installed today, otherwise my xbox was pointless. Getting a 100mbps connection for 55/mo
The only thing i can think of is the mtu from band 41 that i get at my house must not be sufficient. I wonder if band 25 or 26 works better but i cant get those to connect over 41 to test

Come to think of it, every time I have tethered to the xbox I was in a band 25 only market.
I have unlimited high speed data with T-Mobile but only 7GB mobile hotspot. I just moved into a brand new apartment and could buy DSL (yuck) right now, or wait for them to run the cables so I can get cable internet. Only problem is the cables won't be ready for over a month. So a month without internet.
I want to tether to my PC to make a hotspot for my phone, xbox, and other devices. I have tried quite a few things so I'll list them. I have an HTC 2PST2 and I've tried to root it, but since it's new and not too popular no one has made a root for it (that i know of, if you know one let me know).
1. PdaNet+ works with wifi, but it doesn't hide my tether usage when I'm on wifi. So after the 7GB is slows down to 125 kb/s. Before I hit the data ceiling my other devices were getting 20down/12up. I used it to play Xbox Live and it worked perfectly. I could talk to people in party and play multiplayer. Once I ran out of data I tethered my phone to my Xbox and ran detailed network statistics check and it was 0.1down/0.1up like I expected.
2. What I've been doing now is using ClockworkMod to usb tether. When I do a speed test on my computer my speed is 20down/12up. So the computer is fine. The problem is when I try to share it.
3. If I share (sharing by going into network settings & sharing in windows 7) my internet to my Xbox with an ethernet cable I can get on Xbox Live. I can do solo missions on Destiny, but if I try anything with matchmaking it never finds anyone (strict NAT). If I do find someone for a Strike (3 people) it is extremely laggy and I usually end up disconnecting. I also can't get into parties on Xbox. I would give you the speeds, but everytime I try to run a detailed network statistics check it never returns anything.
4. If I use connectify-me to make my computer a hotspot I'm getting 20down/12up on my PC, but 1down/2up when I check the speed on my iphone. I can't test on my Xbox, but it connects to live, but I think the connection is just too slow like when I was on 125kbs with PdaNet.
5. If I make an ad hoc network I get 3down/2up on my phone, but ad hoc shows up as a device and not a network so my Xbox can't connect to it.
So, with all of that knowledge, keep in mind I can't root. How can I use my phones data to play Xbox live like I did with PdaNet before I hit the data limit? If I can make a hotspot where the device is getting 5down/5up I think that would work too. Any help is much appriciated.
