[QUOTE="Willpower101, post: 1393326, member: 214485"] What a bunch of hogwash. I'm answering this because is the 4th search result for wii and tethering on google and it's full of misinformation. Internet tcpip connections do not give a **** about what speed the network is in order to connect. Try connecting to your router without the modem hooked up, bam, works just fine. Next, try throttling your bandwidth (And I'm sure as a networking expert you'll have no problem figuring this one out ;) ) to something ridiculously slow like 100kbps, guess what? The wii will still boot and connect fine, although it will easily take several minutes to browse the web or load netflix. Secondly, maybe [U][B]you [/B][/U]don't have 3g speeds as fast as broadband but many of us do. I get 3mbps on at&t 3g with my ipad [B]unlimited [/B] plan and even more with sprint. Neither of which violate TOS if tethering is paid for. Now to correctly answer this question: From everything I've read, the wii simply hates adhoc network. Some people say they've had success with this, but most say it fails miserably. (I think they are just not sure how to setup an adhoc and are infact dedicating sharing they're lan connection from they're wifi card) An easy solution is to usb tether your iDevice to your computer, then setup ICS with the wireless card as a separate, non-adhoc network. This lets the wii connect just fine :D [/QUOTE]
