Wifi tethering

I'm looking for a way to connect ps3 to the internet using a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4. I got the native hot spot to turn on without problems using an app called Xposed and all devices can connect but there is no Internet access. Any suggestions?
 
It's very likely that the S4 is only providing "ad hoc" and not "infrastructure" mode WiFi networking. PS3 doesn't support and can't connect to ad hoc mode networks AFAIK. What you can do about it, I don't know sorry.

Infrastructure mode is when you're using a real physical WiFi router.
Ad hoc mode is when WiFi networking is provided by software, often running on a PC or laptop.

I've Def done it before it just stopped working all of a sudden.
