Hi guys,
I have a rooted cynogen mod Lg P500.
I can connect my xbox360 to my laptop for bridging a connection. but have recently moved to ubuntu so the bridging is a mission and a half.
So I was wondering if it was possible to use an android phone as an xbox360 wireless adapter.
By this I mean:
My android is connected to my networks wifi.
I want to connect my xbox360 to the android and connect to xbox live.
Is this possible?
no your internet source need to be 3g or 2g to enable wifi hot spot on your phone.
the phone cannot work like a switch
It wouldn't be a wifi hot spot since we need the phone as an adapter.
I'm thinking this is closer to wired tethering.
Is this too late or is there some way to it. I'm not ready to buy a new router and if an android can do this with PDAnet, could it also work with the xbox?

Ok here is a question my brother asked me so here it is " can you tether a ps2 and a nintendo ds " so can you tether them
Droid Eris
Plainjane1 with ota 2.1
and evil Eris 2.0.1
Tether them to the Eris?
You can wireless tether the Nintendo DS if you are a rooted user. You cannot tether to the PS2 unless there is a wireless adaptor for the PS2 that I don't know about.
Oh god I never even thought about tethering a DS... yesssssssssssssssssssss
no.
the ds (either one of the 3 iterations) do NOT support ad-hoc networking.
the ps2 does. but you'll need to hook it up a certain way.
first you need a laptop (or any computer, laptops just make it all portable) and a "CAT 5E Crossover Cable" radioshack has them,... I have not had much luck looking anywhere else. if I remember it was like 13 bucks for a 9 footer or something)
1. either plug your phone into your pc for wired tethering, or just use wifi tethering
2. make sure you have a solid connection.
3. plug the crossover cable into your pc's ethernet port and then into your PS2's
4. go into network/connection settings, and go to change adapter settings
5. bridge your phone's connection to your LAN port.
you now have internet on your PS2
I used to do this when I didnt have a long enough cable for the 360 that was in the other room. just plug in my laptop, get it on wifi, and bridge. no need to buy that ridiculously priced add-on.
now, if you have an extra router around, you MIGHT MIGHT MIGHT be able to actually plug that crossover cable from your computer into the router as if it were any other internet connection, then just proceed to set up the router as usual. you might be able to put out a wifi connection for the DS. it shouldn't be an ad-hoc network that way, so the DS MIGHT recognize it. I have never tried it myself.
my biggest bum about it all is that I hae a zune pass, the unlimited music for a monthly fee deal? I was so hoping i could just turn on wifi tethering and hook up my zune with some nonstop internet downloading. sadly, it was never meant to be.
Well no real need for a crossover cable just bridge and set it to auto ip and dns xp and higher will split the up for you and share the wifi. I do this for Skype and netflixs on my ps3.also works on 360. Hope this helped a bit...poor geeks wifi trick when on the road or at home lol

I have a usb760 from verizon. I used it when i am on the road with my windows laptop. It give me 3g from verizon. I am wondering if i can connect this to my gtablet? I plug it into the usb port and it lights up green, but doesn't connect. When i use it on my laptop there is software that connects to the verizon network. Can this device work on our tablet?
As far as I know the only USB modem anyone here in the gTab forums have gotten to work with the gTab is a chinese Huawei USB modem.
You can read about that success story here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991342
What most people do is run Wireless Tether or Barnacle Wireless Tether on their android phones and turn it into a wi-fi hotspot. Then connect their gTab to it and off to the internets you go.
i really hope the title made since but if it didnt hear is what im wondering is possible to do in any way with any app. i know how to use my G2 as a wifi and usb hotspot via tmobiles blazing fast 2meg service here in louisiana but what i actually would like to be able to do is have my home charter internet from my wifi router to my G2 and from the G2 to my new desktop via usb cable (doesnt have wifi and im out of usb wifi adapters). So basically .....Netgear wifi router>HTC G2>Usb cable>Desktop. Is this even a remote possibilty or am i stuck using the 2meg (5gig limit) tmobile connection? thanks for any help that can be offered, veritasaequita
So you're essentially attempting to utilize the phone as a WiFi adapter, correct? If that is the case, I'm pretty sure you can connect to WiFi and then connect the phone to your PC in internet tethering mode.
that is exactly what im wanting to do, im gonna try it real quick. i hadnt tried it because as i recalled when wifi connects usb greys out but i could be thinking of wifi tethering doing that. ima give it a quick try and post back. thanks for lending a hand
You're very welcome

I might have to use my Prime in a hotel that doesn't have WiFi, but only Ethernet internet connection. Can I use a WiFi bridge (e.g. Netgear WNCE2001) to connect to internet?
Yep.I have used similar item for years to keep my laptop mobile in hotel room. Will work the same.

Have you tried enabling the ad hoc network fix described in the Q&A section, then setting your LAN line adapter to "share" under your adapter settings on your laptop. Then create a adhoc wifi network between your laptop wifi adapter & your tablet. That way you're sharing your LAN line over wifi with your tablet.

Or grab one of the supported USB Ethernet adapters and plug that bad boy right into your dock
I have a Linksys WTR54GS just for those occasions.

Ah, but that defies the point. If I took a laptop with me, I wouldn't need my tablet. I want to travel light, and my laptop is big and heavy.

In another thread here I read you need modified ROM to use a USB/Ethernet adapter.

This is exactly what I need - a wireless travel router.
However, I'm going to buy a WiFi bridge for my wired network printer, which I want to move upstairs. This bridge connects to a WiFi network and allows wired devices to use it. So I'm going to have this device anyway. That's why I asked my original question.
But does a WiFi bridge work the other way around - as a router? My guess is not. If not, then I have to buy a separate device, like the one above. Is that correct?

There are some USB Ethernet adapters that work out of the box with the Prime. Others can be supported easily with a kernel module.
As far as the wifi brigde ...I actually have DD-WRT running on my WTR and it can function as a wireless bridge, client, or access point.
you can use 'connectify' to make your laptop as hotspot.
that way, you can connect the ethernet cable to your laptop, open connectify and you've a wifi connection.
If you have and android phone with root you could install wifi tether and just tether to your device. That's what I do at work.

Do you mean using phone's data connection? I'm going abroad, data roaming cost would kill me.
