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

wireless tether to PS3?

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!

WiFi & RDP/Teamviewer Issues?

Hey Guys,
I'm having some issues on my Surface regarding internet and what seems to be throughput?
1) Remote Desktop Connections are extremely laggy unless I am really close to the router(s)
2) TeamViewer Connections are extremely laggy unless I am really close to the router(s)
3) Media Steaming of TV is really intermittent and stops working in under 5 mins, to get it started I have to close the app(s) and re-open them.
These problems do not exist on my Android devices nor do they exist on the laptops or notebooks, for example I can sit in the lounge on a laptop and connect via teamviewer or remote desktop connection to my computer with no lag what so ever; it's fluid and works perfectly but sitting in the exact same spot or even closer to the router with the surface I can't it to work nice... it's laggy and awful infact I'd say it's unusable.
Network is set up as followed:
Wireless/Wired Router
- Switch
- - Wireless AP/Repeater
- - Computer
- - Computer
- Computer
- Computer
- Computer
There are 5 smart phones connected, 2 notebooks, 2 laptops and 2 tablets connected to the WiFi network.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?
Thank in advance

****, your network is almost as mad as mine, so far I've had non of these issues you seem to be having, although I stream directly to my Xbox not to TV's or computers, but I do use my surface to stream from my NAS and then to my Xbox and there still is no lag, so I can't really come up with a good reason, other than transfer speeds through router or your surface can't cope.
Sorry for not helping at all

Well the true route of all my internet has way more devices connected, xbox, playstation, wii, another switch, skytv, and another 2 computers, when family come round like at Christmas there are like 30 wireless connections, id love to be able to visualize it all lol
I can't see anything wrong in my router settings :S

[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
