I have Brilliant Corners 1.3.1 and I have been reading about Ad-Hoc Wifi. I will be in the mountains in OCT. and Nov. and I will be using a 3G dongle with my wife's laptop and instead of buying a Mifi could I just connect to the laptop using Ad-Hoc Wifi? Is Ad-Hoc supplement already with Brilliant Corners or do I need to install the wpa_adhoc-signed.zip or wpa_supplicant.7z? If I do, how do I do it? Do I flash it like I would a regular ROM? I don't think I should be wiping anything though, should I? Do I have to use ADB to do this because I do not feel comfortable with it? Could I use Terminal Emulator?
Hi, you might want to look into:
http://www.connectify.me/
The full version of connectify might do the trick for you and it's priced at $19.99 now with a promo code.
Check the website.
I was just on vacation in Delaware recently and I used the free version on my wife's wired laptop and shared the internet connection with all the other laptops/tablets in the beach house.
Worked great!
The only drawback with the free version is that it will only work with a wired computer as the host. The paid version apparently lets you share a wireless signal ala' your wife's laptop with 3G dongle.
Good luck and have a great vacation!

hi guys just wondering if you can get an wifi router app (just like the one preinstalled) that allows you to open ports to play xbox live games off your hd2 wifi router?
thanks in advance
alex
Have you tried it? As far as I'm aware, there's no firewall, and therefore no need for ports to be opened.
now are you trying to use your 3g data connection to play xbox live or using this HD2 as a wireless bridge (ie to another wireless router to save money on forking out for an xbox wireless adapter??)
it would be pretty costly to play xbox live over a mobile data connection.. (even these "unlimited" ones are pretty goddam limited)
I hope this is a joke. In case it isnt, you probably could, but don't expect to play any game other than hangman (very HIGH latency).

In theory, its possible.
But my 'unlimited' usage plane has a fairusage of 2gb a month...
I use atleast 20gb a month on my home internet.
so as nutmegy said, possible - But costly.

T-mobile has a 2-gig a month usage plan now? i thought they were only a gig or 500 meg? I generally HATE O2 as they block umpteen million ports.
As a side note though i did use my phone to COD Modern Warfare 2 on my laptop multiplayer.. and i used about 50 or so meg over around 8 hours...
however that was from a laptop not an XBOX so unsure what the data requirements are for XBOX live..
oh and another thing.. the point i raised about O2 blocking ports will probably affect you conecting to xbox live.. (or nay other provider) as it is their internet proxies that do the blocking..
I however am on 3.. and they are quite relaxed.. (except for the saucy stuff.. they just refer you to their own 3 website which charges you for porn lol)
lol, im on o2, so looks like i cant play xbox live over wifi then lol. it connects to enternet, but NAT settings on xbox stays 'strict'.
A friend of mine who hasnt got the internet wanted the newest dash update. Using my phone and a wifi dongle he got online and downloaded it.
We didnt play any games, but you CAN go online with it yes.
It can be done but the 360 pulls so much bandwith it probley would burnout the device not to mention like that guy with that 35,000 dollar verizon bill just buy the 360 wireless kit

It can be done & with a 3g card it works AMAZING i've tried it myself but being here in India the 3g connections are cheap I mean I wouldn't say you can game with it everyday but I played for about 3 hours I think it was approx. 10 games costed me $1
i use the WiFi app i downloaded from omarket to run xbox live play games chat through headset and all with my hd2. believe it .
Hello all, i want to have access to wifi at work (dads bakery) there is no wifi signal there, is there other alternatives to have access to wifi? im not familiar with this things do i have to buy something portable to have it i do have 3g with t-mobile on my phone.
not sure what type of phone you have, but you can tether your "phone internet" to your transformer.
i just did it while on a road trip from my wife's old Palm treo Pro i connected via bluetooth tether
If you have an android phone, you can try to use the Bluetooth tethering option, which doesn't require rooting the phone. If you do a search on the forums, someone made a nice step by step guide for it. The bluetooth option never worked for me so I had to end up rooting my phone and then downloading wifi tether. Downside is it makes your phone really hot and can cause it to crash or turn off. I'm super ghetto so I have the back case off my phone leaned up against a fan hahahahaha....keeps it at a nice 79 degrees instead of 110 degrees.
I'm not an expert at these things either, I just looked for guides on this forum and also youtube. Took me a couple of days to get it all working. Goodluck!
You could try a wireless 'hotspot' from one of the wireless broadband providers too.

Does your dad's bakery have internet at all? If he has broadband there you could just setup a wireless router.

Depends on how much you use your TF for that purpose but 200MB is very little. Becareful about getting charged overages.
I am looking at purchasing a new Tablet, and the one I really want does not offer mobile broadband. Is there a clean cut way to get my Arrive to act as a mobile WIFi hot spot?
Depends on the Phone
Using Windows Phone as hotspot is only in hands of Operator and is not available like in some of the Android Phone.
I saw a demo of Internet Connection sharing was made possible using some tools on Omnia 7.
i dont think its possible, Microsoft does not anounce this feature.
Any new updates on this issue? Traveling a lot and wifi isn't always available for my laptop, wireless broadband is a killer!
So I know it's been asked a few times but not with an airport extreme.
I have a 4g LTE phone (Galaxy Nexus) and I am paying a lot for my phone bill and my cable modem bill.
Has anyone tried this?
Galaxy Nexus ----> Airport Extreme Router -----> PC/Mac clients
If so how? I tried to do extend network but it wasn't able to be extended.
Thanks in advance.
Not really ... but what you can do is that get a wireless bridge and do It that way

Considering that AP is made by Apple, I think it's pretty safe to say in the words of bender "you're boned", but..
I run a Linux router on amd64 hardware as my fileserver/webserver/NAT/proxy/vpn "home office gateway extrodinare"... It has one interface going to a cable modem, and when that goes down (which luckily is almost never) I just grab a droid, plug it in via USB, tether, and switch the WAN interface to usb0, call the cable folks, and forget about it for a while. As openvpn is going to tunnel my traffic to a datacenter regardless, it's completely transparent -- Not like the path to the DC matters
Yes you can, depends on what flavor of android and what phone you have..
Take a look at this Youtube video

This probably seems like a silly idea and I may not be able to get my point across directly.
I want to use a cell phone as a WiFi dongle using my home WiFi to connect my wifi'cardless computer to the internet.
Clarification: not looking for a link to tethering, WiFi hotspot 101 threads.
They sell usb WiFi dongles at best buy for $15 but I was wondering if there was a way to get my phone to do the same thing.
Thanks in advance for the inevitable tethering/WiFi hotspot guide links.

I don't this this would be feasible. Since your PC does not have wifi, the phone would need to emulate a Wifi dongle, which is not trivial and possibly not feasible. :good:
