(Not too SURE if this is the right forum considering it could possible go under multiple forums)
I was wondering if it was possible to connect my xbox to the internet from my laptop which gets internet from my ipad because I don't have a router so to speak and the only way I can get internet is to use my ipad (Data per month) and turn on HOTSPOT and connect my laptop to it and I was wondering if there was anyway I could connect my xbox to my laptop or my ipad using this METHOD (The hotspot) or do I need a special cable or is it not possible? The reason I want internet on my xbox is to upgrade some of my games.


Thanks in advance!Yes, there is. But have d you considered the alternatives?
What I MEAN to say is the software tricks needed can overwhelming to many users. Microsoft has documented a way to use your laptop as a repeater as well as a client. Looks hard to me. 

Another route is to bu a Wi-Fi repeater that will boast the SIGNAL of ipad so that other devices scan get into the Internet.

I have not done either. So maybe others here can speak from experience.
This video shows how it can be done with Windows 7 and a laptop.

Has anybody done this?


Can't you just set the iPad up to act as a wireless hotspot and then connect the XBox directly to that?
