Share Internet Across All Devices @ Home/Office using 3G USB Stick (Adapter/Dongle/Data Card) & WiFi Router

This post is for those who are using 3G USB Dongle (Tata Phone+, Airtel 3G Stick, BSNL 3G Stick etc…), without inbuilt support of wireless connection, but they still want to use the same connection across all the WiFi supported devices @ home/office.

Let me tell you why I need this… I am having couple of devices like two laptops, PS3, iPod, Android Phone and an Android tablet… All these devices can connect to WiFi network. But I am using 3G USB Stick which I can use only in my laptop and that’s why I want to create a network by which I can share my internet in all my devices.

First easiest option is I can create an Ad-Hoc connection in windows. But drawback is PS3 & Android devices are not able to connect to this Ad-Hoc connection.

Now the second option is we use ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) by mapping 3G Stick connection with wifi adapter of laptop/desktop by setting following configurations. So at the end we’ll have something like:
