Tutorial [HOW-TO] Have a homemade Streetpass Relay

[srwgin]

you must change the Wireless mac adress If you do not install DD-WRT you can not do this

Try configuring a new connection on your 3DS with the same SSID,security, and mac address of your router/access point.

Do I really have do install DD-WRT on my router? I've changed its settings (SSID, security, mac address), I can connect to attwifi and even Nintendo Zone without problems.

But I can't get any streetpass.

This needs to be made clear in the guide. I think too many people (myself included) are under the impression that changing the mac facing the Internet is what is required.

Will the Technitium MAC Address changer also work instead of installing DD-WRT? It works for me.

 

[c2leader]

I cannot get this to work. I tried all windows methods, linux method and no luck:

Windows method(s):
My 3ds connects to the internet, the zone tile is exploding but no green light for few hours (I tried 25 different MAC's)

Linux method:
I'm tried the method and script on top of this thread, but after all the steps neither my 3ds nor my mobile phone finds the newly "created" connection.

I'm on the verge of giving up.

Using wifi tether with Xperia S 4.2.2

I can detect nintendo zone but cannot connect to it.
3ds also showing connected to internet but doesnt load any website.

the wifi tether app is showing data transfering but is just 15+kB
no streetpass.

for those who is working using android, what is expected?

Try another mac address:

If you Streetpass corecctly you have something about 50kb download and 60kn upload.
If you only leave your Streetpass data on the Server, then you have about 10kb (up/down) less traffic.

Sometimes it happens that the 3ds only "knocks on the door", that causes aboaut 0 or 15kb. I Don't know why this happens, then another mac-address will do the trick.

Just PM'd you my guide.

EVERYONE who made some type of guide and want to post it on the front page, please pm me with the guide
Also for anyone that doesnt have 3G and wants to make a hotspot with reversed tether, try this.

I actually did that and didn't work.

I finally managed to install and setup dd-wrt on my router and managed to get a Streetpass! But I only got one in over 10 minutes, is it supposed to work this way?

 

[srwgin]

one mac only got a streetpass in every 8 hours

try #182 duke_srg made a script automatic MAC rotation

 

[duke_srg]

Test version 2 MAC change script for DD-WRT added at my original post. This one supports online distribution of MAC list from my server, invluding the prime range MACs, official Nintendo Zone MACs and title CTR-code based MACS. Even custom GBATEMP list is created, so it is possible to do a streetpasses with users who do not have a HomePass compatible hardware, we just need to gather MAC addresses.

Oh so it's only a streetpass per mac address? Ok, I'll do that, thank you for the info.

 

[srwgin]

now I used code blew
modify from duke_srg code

Cron

it work well
I will test his new script tomorrow

Hey everybody,

for all the linux users I edited the homezone file so it can use more mac adresses.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/eu471b

U can now go up to to spoof12. I plan to write a script to automate this tedious process of stopping the network and restarting it manually.

Best regards
ChillZi

thanks a lot, waiting for the automated script.

Does that mean that you can make a hotspot without using a mobile connection? That' s what I wanna do with my Nexus 7 which doesn't have 3G...

Yes thats what I understand from that guide, and the thether app will detect the usb has 3G

Good, this could be my chance because I can't do it from Windows. My router is locked with the MAC address it has been given to.

 

[Dragoon709]

anyone got a solution for atheros chipset cards disabling the virtual hotspot whenever the MAC is changed?

mine is atheros AR5007EG

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

doesn't work, returns an error "The hosted network couldn't be started.
The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation."


as soon as i change the MAC to original, virtual hotspot (wireless connection 2) reappears.

MAC changing program doesn't change the result. (tried several programs, registry edit, changing MAC from device settings etc.)

This is exactly what I'm seeing on my girlfriends laptop with an Atheros Ar5b97 chipset wlan. Every time the MAC address is changed no matter where it is changed from the Microsoft Virtual Wireless Connection disappears. and cannot be accessed at all... it's thoroughly driving me to drink, I want to be able to seed and get some streetpasses because there are not a lot of 3DS's around here.... please can someone enlighten me as to why I can't get this working.

not much to do unfortunately. as an alternative you can try ubuntu, connect to net via lan and use your wireless card as hotspot. i used the way described in the first post. too bad it needs internet via ethernet cable (no virtual hotspot for ubuntu) and there is currently no automated MAC changer for ubuntu.

it is surely a driver and/or hardware issue so it seems it won't be solved.

Duke is the bomb! I am a bit afraid to use base256 as it would look too obvious but aaaahah so many streetpasses, I love it!

If I read it right, we just replace the base number after tmp/nzone and that's the section of codes we'll get, right?
