Possible to put mobile broadband into computer then play ds on wifi?

[zooploi]

I don't have a wireless router but I have mobile broadband by 3 and I'm wondering whether I could use it from my computer and sort of create a wireless access point using my laptop. Just wondering whether this is possible?

Can we get some more info on your network setup?

 

[zooploi]

Erm well it's a dongle, and all you do is plug it in and it works as long as you have it topped up, what should I do first?

First you should tell me is it one computer or more you are trying to connect to the dongle?

If more than when how many, what OS, etc

Come on help me out here. Info please.

Sorry, well my dongle is connected to my laptop and I'd like to put my nintendo DS on wifi without using a router, so if I could connect my ds to the laptop to go on wifi with my laptop through the dongle.

Sorry if it still isn't enough information.

How about the brand and model of the dongle?

This might help too,

It's ZTE 3 dongle. Is there any way to do it then?

I don't think they will talk about whether you can do that on nintendo. I youtubed it before and there was a few videos but they didn't go through it clearly.

There is a video and step by step instructions on their site.

Look into Connectify. It will allow you to use your Win 7 laptop as a wireless router to share that broadband connection.

Good find strollin!

Then follow the hotspot instructions here,

Thanks, but connectify is taking a while to download, what do you do if it's taking a while? should I wait? I can't get off of the window though so...

It's only a 2.33 mb download, is your connection really slow?

 

[zooploi]

No not really, I restarted my computer and I tried connecting to my usual internet but it went to this blue scree. I don't think the connectify downloaded correctly so I uninstalled it and the internet started working again. I'll try again and I'll tell you whether it happened again.

EDIT: I tried installing it again and it was stuck here:

Are you clicking run when the download starts?

Save it first, then run it once it's completely downloaded.

I don't like the sound of that blue screen either, there's something going on there.

Do you get those often? you don't sound surprised or worried.

 

[zooploi]

I don't think I'm worried because I fixed it.
I'm not sure whether I should try doing it again. Can you try downloading it see whether it works for you please?

I just installed it with no problems, a couple windows security pop-ups is all.

I don't have a WiFi device so I can't actually test that part for you.

Did you save the download then run the installer as admin?

 

[strollin]

I have installed connectify on several laptops and netbooks and it works great. I use it with my tethered Droid X phone to share my phone's connection among multiple devices.

 

[zooploi]

It's always stopping at the output folder, there must be something wrong there. but what?

 

[strollin]

How long did you wait to make sure it was stuck vs just taking a long time? I don't recall doing anything special to get Connectify to install but perhaps you need to run the installer as Admin or something like that.

You might try downloading connectify from the website again to see if the first DL is corrupted in some way.

Is it because I'm using google chrome?
