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

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 .
I'm using my SHS4G to connect to my laptop Using AP App. I'm outside Phoenix, AZ with a 2G tower. I get good Download speed in town, but I am a truck driver and I am curious what kind of speed others are getting generaly speaking accross the U.S. outside major market areas. My speed here is around 6KB/sec and I can't really streem videos with that kind of speed. I had Altel until they sold out to AT&T. I had good service with them most everywhere. When I changed to T-M it seems I'm getting NetZero Dial-up speeds.
I live in the southeast and use WiFi tether on my phone, unlimited data plan, only 6Gb this month thus far. From this location I have a Slingbox setup on a 40mb/5mb cable connection and a computer with FTP setup.
Currently I am in Hawaii with a strong 4g connection at all times and...
When I try to stream my Slingbox onto my tablet I can only get 100kbit/s, bad quality. When I download a file to my phone from FTP, it starts at 300k/s and slows to 100k/s very slowly and consistently. However when I download file from Play Store I get 800-1.5Mb/s. When I stream from ESPN I get high quality as well. The internet speed test in Hawaii is very very fast. I remote logged in to my home computer w/ the cable connection and noted no slowdown there.
Based on the current threads about VZ's monitoring of packets, could VZ be throttling my apps from this location? I'm sure data from this location costs them more than stateside.
Its the strangest thing and I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

Use VPN and see if you get full speed.

I've noticed tethering speeds on my device is much slower. A speed test told me I was getting 30+mb down but when I let my wife tether with her 3g phone to mine and run a speed test, she's only do 1.5 mb down. Didn't matter what app I used, built in, foxfi or wireless tether.
A Google search at the time resulted in few discussions. Hadnt looked at it sense. I would love a solution as well.

Hey I'm just wondering has anyone tried using Grid over mobile network rather than wifi. My internet speed is abysmal (rural Ireland) and the only way I can use grid is over a wifi hotspot from my phone. I haven't got a package yet as I am wondering how much data Grid uses to stream games. Anyone any idea?
its really to be used on WiFi or Ethernet. i imagine it uses a fairly heavy amount of data.
I read an article online that said it used about 1GB an hour.
Ooh. That's hefty. I'm just going to have to wait for my area to get proper broadband so :'(
I've used it on a 4G LTE network. The next day I checked my data usage and it says I used 1.5GB of data that day. I'll be sticking to WiFi.
I've got an unlimited data contract so I don't care too much for use. But yes I tried it over an H+ connection to play Lego LOTR and it was a surprisingly enjoyable experience.
I also tested playing my home PC games and that wasn't too shabby either. Dragon Age Inquisition was easily playable!
That would be ideal but for me the only deals on pre pay are all for 15gb, which I'm not sure would be enough to use grid over a month, although I might only be using it on the weekends so I could give it a try. Is yours truly 'unlimited' or is there a fair usage policy? @kickassdave

I'm on 3 in the UK and there is actually no fair use policy. They are a little slow to catch up with the 4G speeds of the other networks, but as I said, I tried it over H+ and it wasn't too bad at all. I don't think the more twitchy control reliant games would be great though.
im in the Boston area and getting around 3mbps per. i just switched over to my brother in laws unlimited freedom plan with my s8 plus. anyone in the Boston area run a speed test? just curios what you get. Cant watch anything without it buffering. so annoying thnx
