using the 800w as a wireless modem

robdmau · #1 (**permalink**) 12-31-2008, 01:38 AM

I use my 800W for my internet connection. What I'm trying to get to work is to connect my Wii using my phone. I can get my laptop to connect with no issues but my Nintendo Wii will not pick up the bluetooth connection. I even tried to plug it into the USB port and nothing. The last thing I can think of is getting this phone to broadcast a Wifi signal to have the Wii pickup the Wifi.

Is there a way to do this?

Or has anyone found out how to get the Wii to connect to the 800W with bluetooth or USB?

Look there are way's to get connected thru tour device, but if this is all off a wifi sig that you are ripping then its going to be dependant on the acsess point.

OR...with an unlimited data plan and without using wifi, u cud PAM with ur 800w, post 148 after installing cab file, go to start/settings/connections/connections/advanced/select network/under My ISP tap edit....shud be 3 options, make sure ONLY power vision is selected.
Then....sync fone with PC....after that completes, go to programs/internet sharing-tap it/then press connect. it shud go from "checking usb connection" to "connected". Once u've done that, open browser of choice, and surf, stream, download, whatever...lol

No wmwifirouter wouldn't work for me but PAM is the girl for me. SHe works like a charm. All thanks to skeegcpp.

does the wii have bluetooth?
it won't work by plugging it into the usb ports because it needs the drivers to be able to interact with the phone.
wmwifirouter should work though.

thanks a lot... I used to get emails saying someone has replied and I never got any, never knew all this was posted until just now... yes the wii has blutooth, and can you explain the wmwifirouter? sounds like this will let my phone send a wifi signal? if so how or where do I get it?

I tried this the other day connecting my wii to my phones access point using wmwifirouter. Didn't work. But if u want to try go ahead and try!!!! Maybe it'll actually work for u. Maybe I missed something but don't get your hopes up.

The main thing I would be concerned with when using my phone as a modem is if the connection is even fast enough to be usable. I doubt it is, which would result in severe server lag or choppy game play.
