Hi
I have already asked this before but may have asked it in a mad way, maybe in wrong place who knows this site is freaking massive
I have a HTC Sensation on 3 mobile One Plan and use this phone to give me and my partner internet using the WIFI Hotspot
As I am coming from broadband from good ole Richard I have 4 WIFI routers in several room in my house all have connection to my main PC which is my media server
Only problem is when we are on the internet we dont have access to this server we have to disconnect and connect to one of the WIFI routers
So what I would like to do is connect the phone to a PC using USB and use the PC as a proxy server, this would then be connected to one of the WIFI routers, this would then have all my WIFI routers giving out the internet
Is this possible??
Any info would be awesome
Thanks
Bump!! Bump!! Bump!!
well to make this work you would need use the wifi hotspot to connect to your server, from there bridge your wifi connection of the server to the hardwire connection of your pc. itll take some reconfiguring of your ip scheme to make it all work but if you know what your doing its not too bad. Also turn on all upnp. (universal plug and play) it will allow you to see all devices on the network without having to have the ip addresses.

Thats the only way. But upnp MUST be enabled.
Good luck!

How can i connect my xbox 360 with wifi?--Tradingmic.com
OK so I have the new Xbox 360 with Wi-Fi connection and I want to buy a Wi-Fi router connector thing but I don't have a computer is there anyway to connect without a computer?
HELP!
Use your phone to tether internet? Not sure if USB tether works with Xbox, otherwise get a network wifi thing for it

i have a ps3 but it works the same way on an xbox. just get the new wireless tether from google and under infrastructure settings enable softap mode. if your phone only supports adhoc then you need to get a eithernet cable and run that from your computer to xbox and make sure internet sharing is on.
I have a rooted Samsung Droid Charge and have been enjoying wireless tether programs for awhile. I am still grandfathered in an unlimited data plan with Verizon so it's great. I don't pay for cable internet anymore and 4G is faster than what I was getting.
The only problem was I lost my Wireless network that I enjoyed with cable internet and wireless router and the benefits that come with it (DLNA server, print server etc). Also not all my devices (namely PS3) recognize ad hoc networks (although I did find a wireless tether program that the PS3 recognized)
Basically I want my wireless network back and not have to tether my phone every time to each device.
So I finally found a SOLUTION! The GR 1733 Sapido router. Supposedly you can USB tether or wireless tether your smartphone to it and I can get my wireless network back. Only problems some people are successful and talk about how easy it is, where I am having problems setting it up. I want to either USB tether or wireless tether. When I set to wirelessly tether the SAPIDO router recognizes my Smartphones network but when apply the settings the Sapido router disappears from available networks.
Has anyone found any solution to create a wireless network using whatever equipment and the Droid Charge for internet?
Use Wifi Tether 3.0 pre12, set the device profile to Fascinate, and set the setup method to Softap for Samsung. It works in infrastructure mode then instead of ad-hoc so it looks just like a wireless router.

It has like no range, though.

I have wifi tehter and I am able to use it to make it look like a wireless router. The problem is I want to use a wireless router! LOL. I want to be able to print wirelessly and access my DLNA server on my PS3 etc. Is there a way to do this with that?

PDANet is a USB tether program. It's a bit expensive though for what it does. I would recommend buying it and then trying it instantly, and if it doesn't work get a refund.

In the past i used PDANet but went to opengarden for the wireless tether functionality and then to wifi tether because it allowed me to connect to my PS3.
The only problem with PDANet is you need to tether to a computer with the software. I want to tether to a router so I can have a wireless network. Wireless Print, DNLA servers etc.
Either A:
Internet Connection Sharing from a computer connected to phone either with wifi or usb tether, then out of the computer and into your router.
Or B:
Additional router, configured as wifi client or bridge to phone, into your main router. Phone must be set up in infrastructure for this to work.

I would more than likely go with A: I use WIFI tether from my Samsung Droid Charge to connect my computer to the internet. I then connect a wireless router to my computer via USB or Ethernet cable? Then enable Internet Connection Sharing.
Connect wan port of router to laptop ethernet.
Enable ICS.
the ethernet port on laptop will provide internet to whatever is connected to that port as long as you are getting wifi from phone.
Not hard, but laptop won't be on the same network as stuff connected to router, so I dunno if you can share files from the laptop.
There are many ICS guides out there.

Just buy a wifi bridge and be done with it.
So i have a pretty complicated network setup right now due to my normal home internet dying and technicians never coming to fix it, so i'm now using my phone on 4G, use the wifi hotspot on that phone, go downstairs, use another phone to connect to that hotspot and use usb tethering to get internet on my pc.
The issue right now is that i can't seem to be able to communicate with my desktop pc (connected by usb tether) with my laptop (connected on wifi hotspot)
any idea on what software i could use to fix that?
