Laptop as Access Point For Use With A PSP 1of2

Using your laptop's wireless card as an Access Point to give your PSP (or other devices) access to the internet, saving you the need to buy a router for your wireless devices.(1 of 2)

DISCLAIMER: Not every wireless card can do this. If your's does not have this ability (usually called "operation mode" in the hardware configure section). You have 3 options:

1. Buy Datel's WiFi Max For PSP, it will do the job for you.

2. Buy a wireless router, more expensive but it has more funtionality that the Wifi Max.

3. Get software that will do this for you, generally called "softAP" - EXTREMELY hard to come by.

If you are not one of the lucky one's, there are other options. Thanks for watching.

any ideas how i would go about oding this on windows vista cos i'll say now pratically non of wats in this vid is in vista :S

[BliteKnight]

It's pretty similar on Vista, just access your Control Panel and go to your Network configuration. Chances are most wireless cards won't support this - it's not an operating system function, it's your wireless card.

For vista, you best bet would be to buy Datel's WiFi Max For PSP/DS

This method doesn't work with intel pro wireless 3945bg, does it?

[BliteKnight]

If in the advanced option of your wireless card you do not see device type (which is where you would change it to an Access Point) then your card does not have the function to do it.

With your car being an intel, I have high doubts that it does :(

[BliteKnight]

For everyone asking for VISTA the steps are almost identical, but most wireless cards out now don't support this so you are left with buying the Datel Universal WiFi Max Wireless Access Point to connect your PSP to the internet...sorry

Does anyone know how to bridge the other cards, like he mentioned during the last part of the video? I would like to try this but I'm only using a tethered bluetooth connection.

[BliteKnight]

First make sure:

1. your Wifi supports AP (access Point) mode - if it doesn't you can't share a connection through it.

2. your Ethernet port isn't connected and is enabled.

If Yes on both questions, then what you could do is highlight both the Wifi and Ethernet network Icons and select bridge. Then follow the first part of the tutorial for sharing the Local Area Network - which you would replace with your Bluetooth adapter.

This is all Just theory, so I'm not sure if it will work. Good Luck.

@BliteKnight Does this work with Intel 4965n wireless card? :/

[EnglishDrums1]

You sound like one of the brothers from Step Brothers (movie).

[MrDeathbreaker]

is AP compatibiliy mode the same?

[p2rt]

Have any1 tested it with PSP? Why i ask is because my PSP wont find AP.

[kidwithstick]

ok so..

I started with a different tutorial untill he started changing options i didnt have.

i went to LAC properties > advanced and selected allow sharing. the hand came up on my icon. when i right clicked on wireless connection i had none of the options that you or the other guy had.

now when i go back to LAC > advanced i dont even have the option to allow sharing and sharing is still enabled... dunno what else to do except go to sleep

[rasheobob]

can this be done through windows 7?
