Basically, i use my blackberry's 3g internet on my pc, via usb. My BB wont use Hotspot as i am not on contract. So anyway, i have had issues with virtual router, so got rid of it. i have a netgear router, that i bought the other day for use with self teaching, programming and just gaining experience. I want to know if it is posible to share the connection from my Windows 7 Ultimate PC and BB, to the router, to help connect other devices like my ps3, tablet, Printer and another PC. Router is a Netgear WNR1000v3.
Hope you guys can help!
Thanks,
Tyler.

You could probably set up Internet Connection Sharing (external via Blackberry data) and use your ethernet port to provide internal comms. The router would connect to that ethernet cable coming from your PC (like it would normally connect to a cable modem as your PC would be serving as the service provider). The router's internal network would need to be on a different address space than the space provided by your PC.

It is certainly a kludge, but could likely be done.

This will, however, drive your data rates through the roof (unless you have some sort of old unlimited plan).

My phone is my home internet at the moment, because the village i live in has hardly any internet from providers that i like, so i'm waiting for plusnet to have a look.
I have unlimited data, unlimited texts and 300 minutes, so i could cope with that aha. How would i do it? Would i use ICS and share with the ethernet, then set-up my router?
 
Yes, that is the gist of it. Set up ICS on the Win7 PC. Then setup the router to connect to the PC (this is 2 different network segments, like 192.168.1.X vs. 192.168.2.x). I would suggest using Google's DNS servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Good luck.
 
OK, so i have plugged my router into my pc, shared the connection bla bla bla, what IP settings do i need? my computers are 192.168.1.xxx on my blackberry internet, so what would the routers be? do i need to disable DCHP?
*UPDATE*
Just took a look at my router admin page....... omg it looks confusing aha. So if i connect my ethernet to my pc, share the connection from my BB to the ethernet, then what? what do i do on my router?
