Hello! So I did look but I didn't really find the answer (unless I overlooked it, and if so please point me in that direction!) With Wifi Tether can you use the infrastructure mode (I think that's the right one) on the stock Kernel and ROM? Rooted of course. Basically I want to get online with my PS3.
Thank you very much for your responses!

If you connect to the wifi network with your ps3 you should be able to have internet access on the ps3. Is that what you mean?
Edit/add: with the stock kernel it works. In the Wifi tether app go to menu>settings>change Device-Profile>EVO 3D.
Use this Wifi tether app. It works for me. WiFi Tether

Ok thank you. I had the Epic before and the stock kernel would only allow adhoc mode which doesnt work with the PS3.

Has anyone tried to tether the cpu using pdanet, then creating a hotspot on the cpu using its built in wireless adapter? Wireless Wifi apps arent working for me so I'd thought I try thinking outside of the box. But I haven't gotten it to work yet
The whole point of tethering is to send a wifi signal without using your computer.
Noone wants to carry their computer around all the time, but sometimes you need internet on your devices that dont have a usb port.
Yea its mostly so I can create a wireless hotspot at home so I can use my ipod touch

Why not just use one of the many temp root methods and tether like that if you want WiFi for your iTouch?
Temp Root + Wireless Tether for Root Users
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
It initially tells you that you aren't root, but then it works fine when you enable it (at least for me on the newest beta).
Yea I have that. It doesn't work consistently but ima try re-rooting my phone

Use PdaNet to tether to your laptop. Use Connectify on your laptop to create Wifi Hotspot.
I'll try that and report back if it works

PDANet works on mine. I think wifi tether will work if you're rooted. I am not rooted, so cannot say for sure.
I just rooted. I installed wifi tether. The phone makes it look like its working but if it does not show up in the network list of any of my devices like my laptop and my tablet. Anyone have wifi tether working after root?
I used the 3.2 beta of WiFi tether on my rooted photon and it worked great for me.
Which WiFi tether are you using? Who is the author? Did you get it from the market?
Nevermind, I picked up Barnacle Wifi from the market and it appears to work fine. I am posting this message from my Macbook over the barnacle wifi on my photon

Scratch this! The Barnacle program does work but when you turn it off and I did this twice to repeat it, I had to reboot my Macbook, my phone and for whatever reason why my home router in order to get my Macbook and Photon to connect to my home network again. So I guess back to square 1, anyone know a program that works properly? I have tried many now including different versions of WiFi tether and my Photon will not show up on any of my device networks.

I already reported PDAnet works fine. Not free but I've been using it since my Hero days almost 2 years ago and its been well worth the cost.

I downloaded out directly from their website.
i had to change the power settings then it worked fone 10+mbps when retrieving media
I used pdanet to USB tether and ir0t worked great. It was almost too easy!
I can confirm that WiFi Tether if you go to there website the 3.1 Beta 2 appears to work perfectly on a rooted Photon. My phone now shows up as a network and with security on and everything my tablet and laptop surfed the net no problem.
I disagree 3.2 doesnt work , the best you can get is adhoc and it tells you that access control can not be enabled
I can confirm that my paid-for copy of PDAnet 3.02 works on my Windows laptop w/ my non-rooted Photon over USB. However, PDAnet does not do wifi tethering.

What does your comment even mean. So is only adhoc bad? What is the use of access control?
What would be the ideal situation? Sorry for asking so many questions but I have never used the wifi tether 3.2 app before.

3.02 works for me without problem. Are you using the free or paid version? The free version has some major limitations.
easytether works, not talking about pdanet but the wifi tethering app doesnt

Just a heads-up for anyone trying to connect to WiFi Tether with some/most Android tablets (like my Xoom). You might need to modify your device to be able to join ad-hoc networks. For the Xoom, it was as easy as replacing the wpa_supplicant binary.
Before I changed that file, my Xoom couldn't see the wireless network that my MoPho was broadcasting.
So now that we have permroot, is there a wireless tether app that works? I tried the one here:
http://www.jonamerica.com/technology/the-htc-rezound-root-guide/
But although it starts, I don't see the ssid on my laptop. I think perhaps infrastructure doesn't work with that. I'd prefer to avoid ad-hoc.
So has anyone had success with a particular market or apk for wireless tether?
Thanks in advance!

Ive tried a couple versions of the usual Wireless Tether.apk, but I still only get wep as an option. Trying to find a way to get WPA2 to work.
I am using "Wireless Tether for Root Users" V2.0-7 and its working perfectly. None of the newer beta versions have worked correctly for me so far..
It seems to work in ad-hoc mode only though... but it works fine for me. I'm not using WPA either, I just leave it open with access control turned on.
Barnacle
I'm using Barnacle Wireless Tether from the app store and it's working EXCELLENT. Even brings over the 4G speed but is also working in Ad-hoc mode.

Whats not working? The link or the app?
If its the link then try a differnet browser.
If its the app then make sure you go to settings and select MS Routing and Clamping. Something like that anyways...

No wifi modes work in infrastructure on the rezound is my understanding. Adhoc only.
---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------
Tried the following:
Old Wireless Tether
New Wireless Tether
Barnacle
None will work. No signal comes out at all. The data counter will get to like .4kB and just freeze.
Yea, but i read that new wireless tether beta app, the dev was wanting to get it where it can support infrastructure mode, but only a few phones would be worked on....idk if its still in the works or not...

Not sure what to tell you... I tried 3 versions, they all worked for me - IF I did not turn on encryption.
If I turn on encryption, none of them work.

Yeah, I had no issues at all with WiFi tether. It has worked on every single android device I have ever had. Optimus, Evo 4G, Evo 3D, and the Rezound. I have tried every single version he has made to boot! Never had any issues.
Could it be the device looking for the hook is not seeing it because its ad-hoc on here?

Some devices do and some dont detect ad-hoc networks. Until we get a custom kernel capable, and software to manipulate it, we're stuck with ad-hoc only, which works for like, 95% of devices that would need to connect to it.
Do iPads connect?

The kernel is plenty capable of infrastructure mode. I think its just the software.

I've tried searching xbox tether on Rezound forum and can't find any.. I'm on stock rooted s-on rebooted and want to know if anyone has successfully tethered the Rezound to their xbox and what apps work best.. I've read that Clean Rom has it but can I simply put it in myself?
Thanks for any help.

There are two ways you can go about this. If you want to tether via USB then I would go with easy tether from the play store. It costs ten bucks but it works flawlessly.
Since you are rooted you can get wireless tether straight from google. If you get the latest version, which I believe is beta 14, you should be able to connect your Xbox. If you choose this route make sure you pick Samsung galaxy CDMA in the device profile and click the routing fix box in settings or it won't work.
Thanks dabomb ill test out the beta14 tonight
you can try this app (Attatched). this tether app is the one the comes pre-installed on most Roms. i just extracted a copy of it from my phone to share it.
I've enabled routing fix and set to nexus cdma but my xbox doesn't seem to find it. Can I enable wifi encryption? Or should I unchecked? How close do I have to be for it to pick up? This is my first time tethering thanks
Wifi tether works great if you're rooted. I highly recommend that one.

There's a thread in the dev section here that tells you how to get it working. You need a patched tethering app and if you're on GB you need to flash a zip in recovery
Or you can use "Connectify" to turn your PC into a Router. when you turn on Connectify, you can go into another room or downstairs and connect through wifi to your PC from any Wifi Device.
you can probably Tether From your phone to your PC, then use Connectify to start a Hotspot on your PC which would be using the Internet from your phone and your Xbox could Pickup the Hotspot from your PC.
Did I hear wrong or is it true that wireless online gameplay has more lag than a wired connection?
