I see that our phones have WiFi direct. I believe the Shield Controller connects to things with WiFi direct. I don't have a Shield controller to test, but was curious if the Shield Controller could connect to the S6.

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?

Use your phone to tether internet? Not sure if USB tether works with Xbox, otherwise get a network wifi thing for it
Sent from my HTC Vision
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.
As Nividia decided to go with a Wi-Fi Direct controller, rather than Bluetooth and as theoretically you can get Wi-Fi Direct keyboards and mice, I was wondering if anyone had tried them?
Are Wi-Fi direct keyboards and mice compatible with the Shield Tablet?
Can they be used at the same time as the controller?
Is the lag on Gamestream / Grid games acceptable with Wi-Fi Direct mice and/or keyboards or is USB-OTG the best way to go?
Has anyone found any good deals on them?
I know HP do a Wi-Fi direct mouse, but I haven't seen any Wi-Fi direct keyboards.
I recently got the Shield tablet and its updated to 5.0.1 (updated as soon as i got it so never tried it on KK) but recently the controller has been randomly disconnecting during gaming but it reconnects after holding the middle button. Has anyone had simialir issues and know of a fix? Ive not rooted it yet as I havent seen a need to.
I haven't run into this, but it sounds like either the Shield and the controller (and possibly other devices) are competing on the same channel; or the Shield is losing connectivity, reconnecting on another band or channel and forcing the controller to reconnect.
Example:
The Shield is connected to a dual-band router at 5GHz and loses connectivity so it tries to reconnect at 2.4GHz. It reconnects on that band on whatever channel and forces the controller to reconnect on that band.
That's conjecture, but you're not the only one experiencing it.
I have the 16gb wi-fi only version of nvidia shield (totally standard). i have a 4g dongle which i use with my laptop. I would like to use my tablet on the road and thought about using the laptop to create ad-hoc wifi network.
Now, here is the issue: shield did not find the network though another laptop did see it. Is there some magic required for shield to connect to ad-hoc wifi or is it impossible aka not supported?
The Nvidia Shield controller works over WiFi does this mean I can only either be online connected to the router or use the controller but not both at the same time?
I ask for when I activate a hotspot I lose my WiFi connection to the router.
