EVO 4G Hotspot, PS3 and Netflix HD = success

[xorg]

I was able to connect PS3 to EVO 4G Hotspot (free at the moment) with no special setup.

Am fortunate to get sustained 4Mbps (peak to 7Mbps) so tested Netflix HD streaming on PS3. It started out at a lower bitrate (some fuzziness) but after a few minutes, it caught up and I get good HD quality streaming (confirmed it was HD stream). Am surfing the net from netbook (also connected) while streaming on PS3, no issues.

You probably need a good 3-3.5Mbps sustained to get HD streaming.

EVO Hotspot is free right now (4G only, no 3G), give it a try.

I'm thinking of getting a Buffalo router and set it up as a repeater from 4G hotspot as Evo Wifi only covers one room. Might be doable to get rid of cable.

I wanna try it on the Xbox, sounds like a dream.

Have 2 laptops and PS3 connected at once. Phone is charging on PS3 USB and laptops are about 15 feet away. While streaming HD movie on PS3, was able to still get >2.5Mbps speedtests on laptops. And then WAS ON A PHONE CALL at same time! Phone rang, unplugged from PS3 charging, answered, put TV on mute, HD streaming continued without a hitch.

Very tempting to use a router as a repeater and get rid of cable modem. $30 for hotspot would then be worth it, though I'm sure it's just a matter of time for free tethering.

I have already done this, works great.

I tested using halo 3 and COD4, both of which I was one bar away from full signal. It worked very well, I was super excited.

While streaming HD movie on PS3, was able to still get >2.5Mbps speedtests on laptops, some tests were >5Mbps with PS3 still streaming. And then WAS ON A PHONE CALL at same time! Phone rang, unplugged from PS3 charging, answered, put TV on mute, HD streaming continued without a hitch.

cant connect

Is there something special I need to do?

 

[Yourdogsdead]

You need the wireless tether program, and you need to be rooted. You could also use Sprint's tether, and pay the 30 dollars.

Just go root why pay for something that you can get free haha

Try cycling the wifi tether off then back on.
