Has anyone tested out wireless tether with XBox 360 for streaming Netflix movies? I understand the ping is a tad slow for FPS games, but I am willing to ditch my home internet if I can still stream netflix via wifi tether. I am 3G area now and know I will lose my wifi connection on any incoming calls, but 4G should be here in the late fall.
Has anyone tested the following.
Wifi tether (4G/3G) to XBox 360 (Wifi B/G/N add on or standalone) games (Battlefield BC2) Playable? (Y/N)
Wifi tether (4G/3G) to XBox 360 (Wifi B/G/N add on or standalone) games (Netflix) Watchable? (Y/N) HD??
Thanks!!
I have used to connect Wii to the tether. Worked great, no lag when I was watching. But I haven't been able to connect ever since.

Is this with the latest and greatest version? Do you think Nintendo banned the connection?
Anyone else test this out? I dont have the wifi connector yet and want to see if shelling out $100 for the N adapter is required for same room tethering.
My house flooded so I had to move my xbox and its not with the router any more, is there any way I can target it to my xbox? I'm running virus rom anthrax series and stock usb and wifi tether are unlocked. Any ideas?

with a computer you can, plug xbox into the computer and get the computer connected to the internet through the phone then in network connection bridge the two connections, otherwise without a wifi adapter on your xbox you can't
If you tether through your EVO via WiFi Hotspot, you can. Note that your ping time will be horrendous, you will never be host, and people will hate you for having such a laggy connection and slowing down the entire game.

with your xbox connected to pc and pc connected to internet open your network connections, highlight both and right click on the wifi one and chose bridge connections
or you can just right click on the wifi one and in properties I think there is share internet option

For all to read:
Any device that has a wireless adapter that can pick up WIFI signal can use your phones Tethering abilities. So if you have the wireless adapter for your Xbox 360, then yes, you can tether your phones internet and use that as your connection. Just go about it just like you would if you were searching for a routers connection. Note that the ping time will be horrendous. Normal ping times for a 1MB/S download speed is about 30-60ms on a DSL or cable internet connection. Through your phones 3g you are looking at close to a 150ms ping or probably more depending on the signal strength of your phone. I personally have never tried to use my phones internet with Xbox live but going from a generalization in the gaming world, you want to have the lowest ping time possible.(i.e. if your in a game such as Call of Duty and your ping time is terrible and you encounter an enemy, he can actually walk around the corner of a building and see you before you get the chance to shoot him and shoot you first)
But if you want to try it out and see how it is:
Tether your internet to your laptop.
Run a Cat-5 cable from your laptop to your xbox.
Go into your network manager in your computer and share the internet connection.
I have a GNex running 4.1, stock. We've recently (finally) bought an HD LED TV, however not one with internet connectivity. I shall add that my brother has an XBox 360 (should prove useful).
I want to be able to stream content from my phone onto the TV. Ideally I would like the phone with me and not connected physically to the TV (hence not keen on the MHL adapter). I'm hoping for something more elegant making use of the XBox. How can I do this?
Also we do not have a router at home (currently it's me and my bro at home and we both use USB dongles for out net on our laptops, each with a data cap). Can I set up some sort of ad-hoc network at home? Will this use up my internet data?
An elaborate answer / links to an elaborate answer would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rohit
iMediaShare will do the job, there is also a free version.
Thanks,
But if I set up an adhoc network from my laptop (which I'm assuming will work for my purpose), and I stream from phone to XBox, will I be using the internet? I.E. Am I streaming through the internet or is a sort of local connection created?
Thanks,
Rohit
Hi, I was wondering if you can use this phone to make a WLAN network. I recently switched from iPhone to Android and am having trouble finding an app to compensate for my needs. Basically back on iPhone when I tethered, I would automatically be connected to the network I created so I could play WLAN only games (like Muffin Knight or Minecraft Mobile) with the other people connected to me. With this phone however, I can't connect to my own wifi so it doesn't work. I've tried the regular Wifi hotspot, Foxfi, and Simple Tether. Whether or not it works in providing internet connection isn't really important to me, I just want to be able to play with my friends
That sounds more like some custom ad hoc or p2p network. You trying to play games via your own teather via the wifi from the phone. So your host and others join your private network ? You can then relay internet connection to them local or is this more a network vpn tunnel?
I remember doing something like this back when I had an idevice im just making sure im understanding properly.
