Default Re: Is it possible to tether the android to a wireless router?

Well i have been trying again for about an hour and no luck. I simply can not get this to work correctly. From what i remember when setting up the router to be a repeater or bridge i need the router and wifi ap names to be the same, so i renamed the router AndroidTether, which is the default name for the droids wifi. I believe that the ip address that the droids wifi spot assigns to itself is 192.168.2.254, so i entered that as the default gateway of the router. I gave the router an ip address of 192.168.2.9. I must being doing something incorrectly. I determined that the droids wifi ip was 192.168.2.254 using the ipconfig /all command in windows, but i could be wrong.

The reason i am attempting this is for use with my FTA receiver (sonicview premier) and IKS services (ihub). I live way off grid and use solor panels for power. I use to use a pc between my iks unit (ihub) and phone to share the internet connection, but being limited in power i need to do away with having my pc on to watch tv. I need to have my dd-wrt router act as a bridge to my droids wifi connection wirelessly, then that should allow me to have a wired connection from my iks unit (ihub) to the router to get the keys needed from the iks server to unscramble my tv signal.
Basically i just need my droids wifi internet connection to be available to the routers wired ports.
If anyone has a similar setup please inform me of how you got it working.

I have tried this a few times over the weeks, but would really like to get it working soon.

Thank you for your time.
