wifi tether connected to a ps3

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

[Q] Anyone use Splashtop?

I need help. I was talking to a guy that claimed to be a developer of Splashtop, which allows you to run your laptop remotely from your tablet. The app was initially created for iphone/ipad, but is available in the Android market. I was so impressed with the app and how fast and seamless it runs your laptop programs that I purchased without question. Well I have a question: how do you connect to it remotely while away from home? I have turned on laptop, turned off auto shut down, and turned on splashtop on the pc. Everytime I have tried to connect away from home I get an "out of reach" message. I have been as little as 5 miles away. If anyone out there has knowledge of what I may be doing wrong please let me know. The guy told me this should work from anywhere just as long as my computer is turned on and running splashtop.
Thanks!!

I use it on my xoom, and it works great, but I haven't tried using it away from home. Hmm, thanks for the heads up, I want to find out too.

Yes, great at home, but I can just use my laptop. If I can get it to actually work when I am away from home, then it makes my Xoom THE BEST thing to have! I get so tired of carrying my laptop around, this would help.

Yeah i got the splashtop and to make it work outside your home network, you must do port forwarding.
i uninstalled it because now, i keep getting drop connections and if i reconnect, it gives me error saying it is already being accessed by another device. this was both on my home network and accessing it from the outside. it was great but not anymore.
sorry for the rant.

Hmm
For the price it's probably not as good as some of it's competitors, which are closer to 5x the price of this. I would attribute it's lack of quality to the problems such as devices being already connected etc.
As for distance, it makes no difference, the most important thing to do is make sure that if you have a router, it must have the necessary ports forwarded to the computer you want to connect to.
Personally I try to avoid remote desktop and instead try make everything i might want from home accessible via web-apps or various servers.

I don't have the app so I'm just giving some general comments:
Im assuming it works over wifi?
1) Maybe you need to enter the ip address of your home and name a port? then get the router to port forward to your laptop?
2) If it works over wifi, then if your router has the option set up a VPN. then connect to it when ur away from home - then its exactly as if ur xoom is connected to the local network itself

Port forwarding is a new concept to me, so not sure how to do it, but you guys have given me a new thing to Google. Also, I did have my internet run through a router, but I disconnected it because I on have my home internet through ATT Uverse and didn't have anything that really needed to run through it. If you have some quick directions for me, then I will be grateful!

Teamviewer
Teamviewer does it away from home. Theres no sound and fluid video tho

I assume this is similar to Wyse Pocket, and i have never had issues connecting via 3G. Is this a better app?

well your router gets its internet then shares it via with the rest of your computers.
Port forwarding takes all the data from a specific port and forwards it to a specific device.
to start you have to assign ur computer a static ip address (again through your router) then forward all data to it. sorry i cant be more precise but the procedure varies between routers. I have never used the ATT Uverse. Honestly the best thing to do is have a browse thorugh ur manual or google for a guide
try this site to see if your model is listed. if not choose a similar model and try to do similar steps

These apps were made with very different goals in mind...
I use both of these apps for what I believe they were designed for and I'm happy with both. The WYSE PocketCloud app supports RDP / VNC connections but SplashTop doesn't. It's not even really designed for WAN access but rather just LAN access. Yes, unlike PocketCloud you'll need to use port forwarding to use it in the likely unsupported WAN configuration.
SplashTop runs beautifully on my LAN but I don't expect it to work outside those parameters. I think SplashTop has far superior frame rate / audio sync for watching Videos (with / without audio). Is it the optimized support for the Tegra 2? I don't know, but it works and works well. It lets me watch Hulu, NetFlix, etc with rarely a hiccup. PocketCloud can't touch that ATM.
Even though PocketCloud's framerate and audio sync are MUCH worse by comparison to SplashTop making it unusable (even when on my LAN connected by WiFi) for the purpose of watching video through it, I don't begrudge it since I don't believe that's what it's for. It has an awesome UI (I prefer it somewhat over SplashTop's) and works very well over RDP. When the Terminal Services update emerges from closed beta, it will be even more awesome.
These apps probably shouldn't even be compared as they are meant to do different things, different ways. Each works for what they were designed for. Neither is perfect. In my case, both were very easy to setup. Any difficulties I had were caused by my own firewall setup. Neither were expensive IMO.

Has anyone figured out how to connect using mycloud when you are away from home? I've tried port forwarding and the portchecker from portforward.com verifies that my ports are open and are forwarded properly but I still can't seem to connect using my modem's WAN ip.
My modem/router model is smc d3gn and I am connecting directly to it with my computer.
I've also tried using the modem's built in vpn function and I can connect to the vpn (accessing the router setup page from my tablet shows me logged in with a pptp ip so I know that I'm connected but splashtop still refuses to connect.)
Hope someone can figure this out soon... I've tried the experimental locator thing using my gmail account but I'm not sure if it does anything.

[Q] HTC Inspire 4G to play Xbox 360

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.

[Q] Tips for improving shield wifi streaming, including router settings?

So I am looking for ways to improve the streaming from my wifi router to SHIELD. Is there a way to set up a direct router -> shield connection, bypassing the internet, like an ad-hoc network? Failing that, would it help to open any ports on the router for port forwarding? My current issue is I can play Deadpool and castle crashers through Steam big screen mode fine, until after a few minutes there is worse and worse controller lag. Seems to happen in other games as well. Video lag actually seems not to be the problem, although it could be related. I feel like maybe there is some setting in my router that is affecting performance
Here is my setup:
win 7 pro x64
nvidia GTX Titan
wired ethernet PC<->wifi router
dual band asus RT-N66 "dark knight" router running both 2.5 and 5 ghz bands on N only
So it's not a performance issue, and basic streaming works, but the controller lag makes some games unplayable. I have tried changing wifi channels. doesn't seem to help. Any ideas? Or is it mainly that these games aren't officially supported? much appreciated!

The streaming is already direct Shield > Router > Pc, no internet involvement as you mention, only wifi and an ethernet cable. Direct Shield to PC may be possible though in theory.
You can also connect a micro USB otg adaptor to the shield and connect a USB ethernet adaptor to that if you wish to plug into the wireless router via ethernet instead. But that probably wont change anything.

nvidia shled game stream on mac pro in bootcamp stuttery.

Hello recently bought a 2008 mac pro and installed windows bootcamp onto it so that I can switch between windows 7 and osx mavericks whenever I want. I installed a PC GTX 680 into it which works like a dream.
I installed Geforce experience and optimized all my games.
When I go into the compatability list it says I have all the pre requisites to stream a game.
I the turn on the shield, it recognises all my games and when I choose one it loads on my PC straight away.
Unfortunatly as soon as game starts it's a stuttery mess and usually shuts down saying "cannot connect to PC"
Very odd. Went into my windows firewall settings but all nvidia game streaming stuff is ticked.
Currently here are my specs
Mac pro 2008 3.1 eight core xeon 2.8ghz cpu
KFA2 GTX 680 2gb DDR5 gpu Nvidia Driver 337.50
10GB DDR2 memory
SKY HUB router (new white one) model Wireless N
Nvidia Shield fully updated.
Not sure where problem is...

I'm having the same issues with my PC and a GTX770.
It's the connection.
I plugged a wifi stick in, set it up as ad-hoc, enabled the gaming/multimedia environment driver flag, disabled powersaving and now it's all fine.

Blimey sounds elaborate. I have disabled power saving in windows already in the power plan settings. how do you enable the gaming/multimedia environment driver flag?

go into the device manager, choose your wifi adapter -> properties, the flags should be there in the advance tab but it depends on your driver.

Ah I see. Assuming it's under network adapters there is a driver but no option for multimedia/gaming to be enabled which is a shame. Might have look into wifi dongles then (

Ok so I disabled the wireless airport mini card via control panel/network connections
I then plugged in the TP-Link USB wifi dongle. Connected to the internet (works fine).
I then started gamestream and tried to play several games. BORDERLANDS 2 and Max Payne 3. Both were stuttery messes that kept shutting down.
I then loaded up Skyrim and for some odd reason the graphic settings were all stupidly low but it seemed to run fine then?!
Very odd. Any ideas on what the problem is. I can stream my Vita onto PS4 via my router with no issues whatsoever but the shiled is a juddery, crashy mess.
I also have an Alienware M17X R3 with a 680M card installed. I tested it out on that and it seems much smoother. Doesn't shut down on start up and is reasonable. still slightly stuttery but not game breaking.

You need wireless G at the very minimum to stream games. It is similar to playing a LAN game over wireless and you get lag and your player skips around. It is the same concept streaming the game as you are actually playing on the PC but viewing the video feed and controlling it from the Shield. A butt load of data is going back and fourth. Really it would not hurt to have wireless N if you do not.

I have wireless N router and bot the dongle, airport extreme card and the netgear have wireless N.

N is fine, theyre backward compatible to both G and B.
u sure you updated both nvidia driver and GeForce Experience?
otherwise I can just think that there is another wifi network that is interrupting yours.

Was wondering the same thing so I attached an ethernet cable from the mac to the router to get as honest a signal as possible. It seemed to work a bit better, played max payne 3 for about 10 minutes before it started to stutter and crash again. Very odd, might be CPU or even the router but cannot tell at this moment in time.
My mac is about 2 1/2 metres away from the router with no walls between them s
Is there a way to directly stream from PC to shield without need to go through router to check?

Here's the router I'm using. It should be good enough!
http://m.shop.sky.com/mt/www.sky.co...-hub/?un_jtt_v_cookiecheck=on&un_jtt_redirect
Key Features: 802.11bgn 2.4GHz WiFi; Integrated DSL modem; 4x 10/100 Ethernet ports; WEP, WPA/WPA2 & WPS security
Manufacturer: Sky

Been looking into replacing it with the newer Sky hub SR102 router. Here are it's specs, seem pretty much the same except it's a little bit more ready for fibre optic broadband
Wireless:
• 2.4GHz 802.11n standard, backwards compatible with 802.11 b/g standards
• 2×2 MIMO with internal antennas, 144Mbps maximum data transmission rate
• Smart Signal Selection – automatically and dynamically selects optimum wireless channel
• Wi-Fi Alliance certified

Ok I bought an Asus DSL N66U which has dual band 2.4ghz and 5ghz signals. Its maximum is 450Mbps but it's still stuttery and poor signal. The nvidia shield cuts out after a little while. Am wondering where the problem is. It can't be the router!

Ok so this is a thing...
Theres an advanced settings option on the Nvidia Shield for gamestream settings. It can allow you to adjust the max FPS 60 or 30, and the bit rate. There are two options - one for wifi and the other for ethernet connections. I changed FPS to 30 and it's much smoother now.
If you have stutter issues it may help
