s2 tether to sky box - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,I have a samsung s2 phone and tether to my xbox, ps3 and laptop all the time with no probs by wifing to netgear router through ethernet to device, but when I connect it to my sky hd box (via teethering to netgear router and that connects via ethernet to sky box) it seems to be a different story. It shows all the on demand programs, but when I hit record it keeps telling me on demand is unavailable, yet when I use my regular broadband (same as above, wifing to netgear and ethernet to sky box)theres no hassle with on demand. I refresh everything on my sky box network wise but to no avail for tethering.Can anyone tell me am I missing out on something?*
thanks

[Q] Problem connecting from laptop with 802.11g to SGS2 in wireless tether mode

Hi, I've searched the forums for similar questions and didn't find anything.
I have a laptop that can connect only in 802.11b & 802.11g. When I run wireless tethering in my phone (enabling ap in wireless connections because I have the stock firmware), my laptop can't find the access point. It looks like the phone is using 802.11n by default when doing the wireless tether, preventing my laptop from connecting. If instead of using the built-in wireless adapter of my laptop, I use a wifi usb stick with 802.11n, I can connect without problems. I would like not having to use the stick, though.
How can I disable 802.11n when doing wireless tether in my phone?.
Maybe I have to download an app from the market in order to instruct my phone in doing the wireless tether in g mode?
Thanks in advance.
No one has an answer?

Can I hook up my Vibrant to a router?

I'm not talking about using my phones wifi to connect my phone to my home network. I got my internet shut off for a couple of days and want to use my phone as my internet for my house until I get cable back on. I know I could turn on the wifi tethering and have my devices use that but what I am trying to do is different. I have one of my roku players disengaged from my home network (an accident) and it will not reconnect to it (so I can stream my files from my PC) because when it goes through the testing on the roku it cannot access the internet on the home network, so it won't connect to my home network. My theory is that if I can connect my phone to my router, my roku will be able to connect to my home network because it will now have internet connectivity. I just don't know how to do it if its even possible.
I hope that makes sense.
I have a dlink dir-632 wireless n router, if it helps.

Thx but that's not going to help me with what I want to do. That's a packet sniffer/wireless network monitor software.

[Q] phone not connecting to laptops hotspot

hi fellows
i just installed a 4g device in my laptop for internet access. It working fine. Next i made the laptop a hotspot via adhoc connection and after that though internet is fine but i am unable to connect my samsung sii via wifi with it. Even though a friends iphone connected to my lappys hotspot but my phone doesn't and neither does it show that a hotspot/ wifi connections exists.
help
Ad Hoc was designed only for local connections, not Internet.
Use Connectify to make hotspot.

You need to setup a virtual router or if your laptop has a router you can share net via that, originally custom roms does not support ad hoc, but certain roms are modified to enable it.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.
Router has wlan infrastructure mode, not adhoc. It doesn't matter if the ROM supports it or not.
