I have a jailbroken iPhone and have purchased a program in Cydia called MyWi that allows me to tether my phone with my computer. I can either turn my phone into a wifi hotspot, or I can tether it with my computer via a USB cable. Either way works great on my computer and the 3G download/upload speeds are faster than my cable modem (I opted for the cheapest package from my ISP). Because of this I am going to cancel my cable modem service and go strictly off my phone.
The problem is with my Nintendo Wii. It recognizes up the wifi signal from the phone, however since the wifi signal is an ad-hoc signal the Wii won't connect. As a second attempt I connected my phone to my computer (MBP) via USB, and enabled internet sharing through Airport. This time the Wii did pick up the signal from the computer and passed the connection test.
I was able to check weather and news on the Wii through this signal, however it is so slow that it does not allow me to play games through this method.
Does internet sharing severely limit internet speeds? Do you have any suggestions that would enable me to use my 3G signal to play online games on the Wii?
