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
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!
hi i am trying 2 get a wifi signal of my phone so that way i can play online on my ps3 do does anyone know how to do that
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-mobile-wi-fi-router.html
3th party program required
You can do this with the program posted by the guy above ^^
Or, find a ROM with the WiFi router program cooked in..
However mobile internet may be a *bit* slow to play video games over
i already attempted this ages ago, and failed miserably, for some reason my PS3 wont pick up an AD HOC connection from my Touch Pro unless im doing something wrong

hello, I suggest to buy a WMWiFiRouter. It is the best solution ever I think! I use it for two years, it has many usefull features and I have never had problems with that!

PS3 Works in infrastructure mode only, AD HOC is NOT supported.
I havn't gotten a chance to play with the WIFI router cooked into my Energy rom, but I dont think it should be AD HOC.
I actually was trying this yesterday at a friends house for the 4th. He doesn't have an internet connection at his house and we wanted to play battle field and COD online... Well after looking an looking... The PS3 does not support ad hoc (I don't know why... ) The only way to do it is get a cross over cable (yes it is different from a regular lan cable) and plug it into a laptop/desktop and then connect that to the cell phone and set-up internet connection sharing on the laptop/desktop... I really hope they unlock it in a firmware update and I am rather sad they have locked it out...
I am using the wifi router cooked into the energy rom Version May 8th I think and I also had the cab for WM Wifi router and non of them allowed me to connect the PS3 wirelessly.... I hope this answers your question..
*edit* I was using a touch pro 2 btw.
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.
Guys I'm curious....Will we be able to stream games from our PC via an outside(ie McDonalds, a casino, etc) WiFi Hotspot to the Shield? Or is it strictly for home use and very short distances?
The NVidia Shield cannot stream over anything than a Wireless Area Network (WAN), not the actual Internet. The latency is not only too high, but public Wi-Fi would also be very unsuitable to stream any game. Plus, you would need a literal computer tower inside the McDonalds... so no.

Thanks for the reply. But just to confirm, you *CAN* access the internet and browse the web from a normal outside wifi hotspot...correct?

Streaming is restricted to within the LAN (and most WiFi hotspots are not high-speed anyway), but all other WiFi functionality is normal Android behavior.
