Hey everybody! Anyone have any luck getting the Nintendo DS working with WiFi Tether? My DS will connect, but when I try to look for opponents, the game searches for a long time and then gives a communication error. Same thing for when searching for friends. They show up, but when it tries to connect it eventually just errors.
And help is greatly appreciated!
When I do "Test Connection" in the WiFi setup on the DS, WiFi Tether shows the DS connection, but when I get on through the game it doesn't.
Pokemon? Lol

Nah.
I can literally connect to the wifi... I just can't join any games.
That's what I'm saying. With my old Hero I could connect with the Hero, browse the web, but couldn't connect to any games because the Hero could only use Ad hoc protocol. I'm no guru, but that's what I experienced. So it might be the same here with our phones. But if you're using the Hotspot built in, then that can't be the case.
Blah.

Ah I see. It's not on Ad Hoc. My DS won't even let it connect on Ad Hoc >.> Plus my PS3 can use it which also doesn't support ad hoc.

Hey guys, this should be an interesting one for you!
So I got my Vibrant tethered to my Mac thanks so the DIY posted by siirial. No root needed! (Even though I'm rooted.) Major props.
Anyway, my apartment complex doesn't allow online gaming, so I decided to try to use tethering to get around it. (Stickin' it to the man! Sort of.)
So I'm writing this from my tethered connection;
1. I've allowed internet sharing on my Mac. [Sharing my connection from SAMSUNG_Android to computers using ethernet.]s
2. I've plugged in an ethernet cable from my PS3 to my Mac.
And that's where all the excitement ends.
Does anyone know how I can make this work? Is there something I need to enable on the Vibrant?

If you had root, you could install the wireless tether hack found in the debelopment section. Forget running it through the mac. Itll act as its own wifi hotspot. Just connect the ps3 up to that. It uses wpa encryption and the security code is randomly generated every time you enable it.

think you would have to go the mobilAP route. search out that thread and flash this app
Edit: it seems that it defaults to a NAT-3 and will limit functionally. There may be a way to get around that but I cannot find as of yet, hopefully someone will figure this out. It seems a bit sluggish to start but connects to playstation network and will display friends online, the network store and also allows me to view messageshowever when I started gta it boots me out once the multiplayer game begins

im not real sure on mac but i use my vibrant to tether my ps3 and play call of duty mw2 perfectly fine on my windows comp. a little laggy sometimes but still very playable. all i did was tether it to my comp, enable internet sharing, then connected my ps3 to my comp, then setup the internet connection for wired on the ps3. works like a charm.
never tried with a ps3, but the Wireless AP app works flawless, it is built-into the Eugene roms. I have tethered 4 laptops on it before playing a lan game of CS:S on our drive to Cali. Freaking awesome, my phone the AP created a lan game and bam instant in-car gaming haha.
I don't see why the ps3 wouldn't see the android AP and be able to connect, I will try when i get home in a few min

Well let me know how you get past the Nat-3 issue that will boot me out of a multiplayer game of gta4 without using a laptop as a pass thru. I tried every setting combo I could and still get booted. It says right on the network settings page on the ps3 that Nat-3 is limiting functionality and seems to fail once you connect and attempt to use headset for online play.
yeah no dice on the wireless AP. the ps3 doesnt even see it

how can an apartment complex block online gaming???
I'm confused.
I went through the trouble of phone using PDANet to laptop to PS3 through ethernet--major pain. I was looking through the development section and saw the MobileAP mod. Seriously, it's the easiest thing to use ever, but does require root. Works flawlessly so far and is super easy to set up. I tried to put the link, but can't because I'm new apparently. It's usually near the top on the first page in the dev section...

but your in nat 3 which limits functionality, unless your are running different or manual and specific settings... care to share your methods? if you read above a few posts im connecting but in nat 3 it only allows some functions

not that they do it on purpose most likely, but most apartment complexes run 1.0 mbps or slower to keep computers from hogging bandwidth. Which in turn makes it nearly impossible to play any online games, most 3G speeds are at 1.5 or 2.5 depending where you are.
Hello, I've been working all day with ad hoc fixes for the thunderbolt after taking the time to manually root. I've tried wpa_supplicant.zip update and that didn't work on account of edify and i pushed wpa_supplicant to /system/bin and still no ad hoc connection.
The biggest reason is because I bought the AR Drone used and there are all kinds of apps for it to be controlled on the droid. I can't pair it through my router since its DD-WRT and the application to pair the two is windows and I only have a Macbook that has wifi.
Someone please help me fix the thunderbolt so it can find Ad hoc. Thank you!
What if your Thunderbolt was working in infrastructure mode, will the AR Drone work that way?

I have had no problems with running wifi tether on my stock rooted TB.

I did not try encryption, but it worked fine as an AP/infrastructure mode with two computers and the TB.
Sure I have no problem with that either. It's finding ad hoc devices like the Parrot AR Drone is the problem.

I see, so the device has no other means of connecting accept in ad hoc mode.
It's interesting to think that as users we tried to get away from ad hoc. It seemed to be such a limitation with our rooted phones. We all wanted AP/infrastructure mode to connected to wifi only devices that did NOT support ad hoc. Bummer, you would think there would be an easy way to toggle that within wifi tether.
Now of all things, it would not be a very popular option, ad hoc. So... it might not get the attention is deserves
I used wireless tether without any problem on my old droid X, but now I'm having connection issues. My Asus transformer can see my Rezound just fine and connect, but my in dashoard Galaxy Tab doesn't see it at all.
I've tried the current beta of Wireless Tether, 2.0.7, Barnacle, and Open Garden, all with the same results.
We need to nail down what specific settings those successfully tethering are using.
Please list the following.
1. What app you are using.
2. What settings you are using (device presets, clamping, ect.).
3. What you are successful in tethering wirelessly to.
I'm going to run a few more tests, and post mine.
I don't mean to ask a dumb question but these apps just allow you to use your phones 4g on a laptop, etc. ? Are they free if you have unlimited data?
Why aren't people using Mobile hotspot to tether or am I getting confused?
To use the mobile hot spot you have to pay for it

Wireless tether 2.07 kinda works. I have to run it open and it only broadcasts in ad-hoc mode

I'm using this one http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-pre113.apk&can=2&q= and I have "Routing Fix" checked under settings. Works good for me (CleanROM 1.1 and Ziggy's Kernel).
Thanks for the post. I really need to know this too. I've tried everything but still a no go.
According to wiki ad hoc needs the same channels to work. For the people that do have it working what channels are you using in ad hoc mode.
Definition
To set up an ad-hoc wireless network, each wireless adapter must be configured for ad-hoc mode versus the alternative infrastructure mode. In addition, all wireless adapters on the ad-hoc network must use the same SSID and the same channel number.

The problem is what devices you try to use to connect to your phone's mobile connection. I tried connecting with my Asus laptop (Windows 7) and it wouldn't connect correctly. I tried connecting with my gf's windows xp laptop and it works perfectly fine!
If you have questions about wireless tethering, please go do a bit of searching and reading, there are hundreds if threads that describe what it is.
This is a thread so we can get it working right.

I fought for days over this before this release and from my trial and endless errors Ive come to realize (very very long story short) for the time being the best work through is using "OpenGarden" from the market. Don't change any settings. Just have an open connection and use access control. Like I said. Long story short, the issue lies within encryption. Leave it open and use access control. Hope this helps.

+1. Its the only way I got it to work with my device so far.
So what paid/free apps are currently working?
Is anyone tethering a Touchpad running CM7 successfully? or an iPad? Currently posting for hotspot, but might cancel if I can still successfully tether those two over Adhoc. I can't get the Touchpad to work using wifi tether yet and don't have an iPad right now.

Hello,
I've been trying to use tethering of my 3G phone to get WiFi on my Prime. I am using an app from the market that creates an Adhoc network to do the tethering. The app is working fine as I verified by connecting my Laptop to my phone's 3G and got it working.
The Transformer Prime detects the Ad Hoc network but just doesn't want to connect to it!
Any suggestions?
Works fine for me (prime tethered to 4G HTC Rezound) .. It's probably just your app. Try using wifi-tether.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Yup, not working for me either. It sees it and let's me select the wifitether network but it just says "saved". It won't let me connect to it. I'll keep trying

I get that sometimes too...but a long hold on the wifi line has options to connect/forget/modify.....at different times, I've had to use each of them....but I'm always eventually been able to get tethered to my Win6.5 TouchPro 2.
The app I use is WMWiFiRouter.....it works great....but it's not a free app

You don't need that fix....That's one thing that 21 did....was to incorporate that fix into the update.
i think i may have your answer. i couldn't tether my prime to my htc evo 4g either. then i enabled routing fix under wifi tether settings and now I'm able to tether prime no problems at all. hope that works btw I'm using wifi tether 3.1 beta 6

tried a bunch of times...
i tried to connect a transformer prime to a mac book pro as access point with no success.
i got a "saved" message instead of "connected"... hit "connect" doesn't do the trick either.
tried using a nexus s as access point using easy wifi tether, and i've been able to connect my prime with no problem.
no security in both case. if ad hoc connection doesn't work please specify what access point you try to connect to. it might help to solve the problem.
ad hoc works with joikuspot premium on nokia n97 mini
In joikuspot premium settings you just have to choose for WEP Open. That way the tf201 will accept it when you put in the network key you get.
Hi everyone, im looking for a ad hoc enabler for my phone to be able to connect to my pc's internet via ad hoc. I use a broadband usb modem to connect to internet on my pc so i obviously dont have wifi at home. Using usb internet pass through is quite annoying as i must have a usb cable connected to my phone the whole time. so can anyone recommend a 100% working app for me?

What is your OS on your PC? I know Windows has the ability to create an ad hoc network using the wifi card of the PC. No special app needed. Go to the Network control panel, click Add, and select Ad Hoc network.

sooo how did it go? there are a few apps out there with this feature but if it fails it will mess up the wifi. im looking for a 100% working on evo 3d gsm app so i dont have to deal with fixing the wifi problem.
would you be so daring enough as to try installing WiFi Ad Hoc enabler v1.8 and see if it works? LOL im scare it might mess up my wifi and i have no idea how to fix it.
