Hi guys so I am planning to buy a Shield.
The question here is that my country is very atrocious with internet connections with just 4MBps (I know it's suckish). Will the games still stream smoothly with a 5GHz router and Shield? Thx for the help.

Yes you just need to have a compatible geforce video card, the stream is local you dont need a good internet conection, thats why you need a 5g router :good:
Is it also applicable in the case where I use Splashtop THD? It is also local? Thx for the help, I really appreciate it.
yup. i use splashtop thd all the have. haven't had any issues with it, when using the 5GHZ connection.

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 .
What routers do you all use with your G tablets? Are there any to completely avoid?
Thanks, WAD
I dont think routers will be a problem. I have tested mine with linksys and d-link and so for so good. Those are the only two I have. Having an N router would be nice for the distance.
Any n1 router. I don't even waste my time with less. I like netgear

I am using Trendnet wifi router with WPA PSK; works fine without any issues.
Apple Extreme Base Station, no probs...
I'm using the one Verizon Fios gave me which is wireless N. My gtab flies with wireless N. If I didn't have one already, I would go for any wireless n router that isn't made by Belkin. Those are the only routers I ever had problems with.
Thanks
Thanks for the replies, I bought a netgear n router to replace my old netgear b. Now I just need to go pick up my G tab.

Ditto. I have a mix of Linksys (WRT610N) and DLink (DIR-825 and DAP-1522) routers and APs. No issues with connectivity or speed.
One little annoyance. The gtab doesn't recognize that I moved from one router to another in the house like my Nexus One does (where it automatically switch to the most powerful signal even though there is a signal present on the existing WIFI connection). I have to manually reconnect the WIFI connection to the other router.
I have an Asus WT500gP v2 running DD-WRT and I've had no issues either.
I use a D-link 625 at home, no issue, also at varrious homes of friends and family as well as public hotspots...i.e. barnes and noble,starbucks,culvers...Some with encryption, others open, or mac filtering, no issues on any of them.
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 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!
Hello everyone.
firstly thank you to everyone on XDA for all your help past present and future. Extra special mention for the developers, Thank you so much!!!
now onto my question...
i have a htc desire bravo - running latest oxygen - dont think rom really matters for my question but thought i would put it out there...
i want to play world of warcraft while im sat in hotels (i travel alot) now i know that playing games over wifi is rubbish at best of times but...
is there a difference to sharing my phones 3g connection and having a dedicated 3g dongle?
will i just get same speeds and reliability out of them both? is it even worth having a wifi dongle?
thank you for all replys.

So long as your Desire supports the highest throughput of your network, you'll be fine. For example, your network may rin at 21mbps HSPA. Youre Desire supports only (I think) 7.2mbps HSPA. In this instance, you would get better performance out of a 3G dongle that could utilise the entire theoretical 21mbps (you'll never see speeds that high).
If your network only runs at 7.2mbps though, you're already getting the best possible throughput through your phone.
If you can find out how wide the bandwidth is on your mobile network, then find the official HSPA value supported by the Desire, that will tell you whether or not your phone will maximise what the network has to offer.
FWIW, I'm in rural Australia on a 7.2mbps backend, and I can game and stream over a tethered phone just fine Dongles are only really nexessary if you can't tether, or if you're interested in absolute best maximum throughput.
Good luck!
