Need MAJOR Tethering help =( - General Questions and Answers

Does anyone know how to get an open NAT or get upnp with Android WIFI Tether or any other tethering??
I am using my Galaxy S3 to play on XBOX LIVE and it really sucks not having open NAT. Tons of problems. Can't play with friends, party's don't work, etc. This is now my primary internet and I get like 70-90MS even... but without this working I'm sort of out of luck =(
If anyone can help point me in the right direction, or anything I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks!

I don't think you can open or close NAT on your phone.
I've had this problem with my router and I fixed it with port forwarding, but I don't believe you can forward ports on your phone.
As far as UPnP goes I don't think you can enable that as well.
Your best bet (probably) would be to plug a router into your phone somehow and then enabled UPnP and port forwarding on it through router settings.

Using a crossover cable I once got it to work. But since then I can't figure out why it won't. I used a crossover cable from my pc to my xbox and connected my pc wirelessly to the phone.
as described in this thread.

RE:
Have you tried using a router/modem with a crossover cable?

No. Do you mean with Windows internet sharing?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

No, I literally mean plugging a cable from your phone directly into a router/modem and broadcasting a WiFi network.

So how do I get a CAT 5 from my phone to the router? =)

How did you plug your phone into your xbox?

Either through wireless tethering, or connect laptop to phone via wireless or usb cable, then run a crossover cable to x box and use Windows connection sharing. Once upon a time I actually got this to give me open nat, but it was several months ago and I can't figure it out

Have you tried plugging something like this from your phone into your router's internet port?

Not sure if that will actually work, but worth a try.

I don't see how that would fix the problem.

It would work like a wired tether I believe.

You could just download wireless tether from the market. Works just as well.
I'd upload it for you but I'm not at home. If its not done by the time I get home, I will.

Wifi Tether is adhoc whereas the wireless tethering app acts like a real wifi hotspot connection.

May I ask what's the difference?
And will verizon be able to tell the difference (or whether I am tethering)? I'll mostly using for light surfing (web browsing, emails). Not interesting in watching TV over 4G.
Good question, I love the tether feature and only use it once in a while but when I need it I need it

Ad-hoc is computer to computer where as the wifi hotspot app handles connections like a real router. I believe this to be the case anyway. So, for example, when I was in Las Vegas I tried to set my laptop to stream videos to my xbox through Windows Media Center. I fired up my trusty droid thinking WiFi tether would help me out. But, it set-up an ad-hoc network and WMC will not stream to extenders over ad-hoc. I was kinda bummed.

The experimental ones in the website for it are infrastructure I think. The ones in market didn't work for me

[Q] Wireless Access Point Switching

If this has been asked and answered, I apologize. Can't figure what to search for to find it.
I have a multi-story house and one wifi access point simply doesn't cover it all. I've wired up one for upstairs and one for downstairs. One of the two has DHCP enabled. Both have identical SSIDs and security. I do not know to change BSSIDs (some kinda hidden SSID?) Have tried setting both to same channel and to different channels - currently on 7 and 11.
My charge will not automatically switch between them. Under EE4 I could turn off wireless and when I turned it back on it'd connect to the stronger signal. Under all the gingerbread builds it connects to one and even after turning wireless on and off it connects to the original one. Under GB I can only switch between them using Wiifi Analyzer's connect feature. Under GB I've taken to setting up the SSIDs to different values so I can at least manually switch between them in settings. This is a royal pain as I walk between the two floors all the time.
What am I doing wrong? Doesn't anyone else have this problem?
Instead of multiple routers, try using wireless repeaters or extenders. A repeater picks up a wifi signal and rebroadcasts it for better reception. A network extender has an ethernet port that connects to your router and makes an access point without making a new network.

I prefer dd wrt routers using WDS. There are lots of resources about this. Or just buy a some access points. I find that repeaters have interference issues.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Well, actually my second router is currently setup in firmware to be an access point.
Have either of you guys observed a Charge w/ GB actually handing off correctly? If so, at least I'd know that it's my setup.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
A repeater is the best solution? The upstairs location just barely picks up the wifi from downstairs. Seems like you'd lose a lot of thruput that way.

Tried the app "Wifi Manager"? It might help you. There a bunch others. I would try them all out to see if they help your situation.
WiFi Jumper fixed this problem for me. Well worth the money.

Seems like a nifty utility. Easier than setting up WDS, but I still think that WDS is the bees knees when it comes to having rock-solid wifi everywhere you want.

Tethering wifi from a wifi hotspot?

I didn't see this in the forums before but I was wondering if it is possible to tether a wifi hotspot on the nexus through it's wifi. I ask this because I travel 3 weeks at a time with my company and can't use Netflix, live, etc on my xbox. They have wifi and ethernet there but both have the stupid welcome page and you have to agree to terms to use the internet.the xbox doesn't have a browser that allows me to accept the webpage and I'm in North Dakota with work and I'm in constant roaming the entire time so no 3g natively of my phone to tether. So that brings me back to my question is there anyway to use the wifi they have open a browser window on my phone accept the welcome and then tether to my console?
I wonder if you can accept the TOS, jot down the IP address then quickly disconnect and force your Xbox to the same IP address given in advanced networking? Also you can tether with a laptop for sure, not sure with the phone.

Guarantee you could use your phones browser connected to the wifi to accept the terms of service. I've done it several times with things like that.

You can't use Wi-Fi and tether at same time, the chip can't do both at same time

If your wifi is connected you can tether it to a computer through usb tether. I know that for sure cause I do it all the time.

HTC Sensation & Xbox Live

Hi there,
Unfortunately I dont have access to broadband at home atm...
Or any form of internet that isn't running through my HTC Sensation...
I'm wondering if I can use my HTC Sensation and the 3G connection and tether it via USB to my Xbox 360...
I only want to download some Skyrim patches, not game online or anything.
Has anyone here ever tried this?
cheers,
T-L-H
I think you need to tether your sensation to your PC then bridge the PC to the Xbox.
Not something I've done but I read about a while back.
Hope that helps.

If you have a usb flash drive then use a program called modio. Here is a quick link on what someone is doing with that program. The theory is there you just need to work through it. I know that I have downloaded System updates to my pc and transferred them to the Xbox hdd. Modding and flashing my Xbox disk drive is my second hobby here is a video/2 videos that you should watch. HERE This was just a quick search and the guy is a dumb ass but again the theory is there. I know you said you don't have a pc. but if your work pc's let you install programs then you should be good to go. Here is another video to watch.HERE WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR which might be better for you.

Okay guys, I have a new one for you.
I live on campus with no possibility to have my own network because the school won't allow us to have anything else than their network..
This is one major problem because my PS3 won't connect to that network, is there any way I can use my phone (i9505, rooted) or anything else to make a "fake" network out of the eduroam-network to connect my PS3 to? Any help is appreciated
