Is it possible for me to share a wifi connection I'm connected to with other phones/devices? Whether it be via bluetooth or wifi.
Please fix your question. Apart from the Bluetooth part, your basically asking if you can share WiFi via WiFi. Can't the other devices be connected to the WiFi source? Or if you want them to connect to the WiFi from your device, all you need to do is to get a WiFi hotspot app from the market.

Is is possible to connect to the Internet via Bluetooth tethering?
I have htc android device and the hotspot is iphone with BT hotspot feature turned on.
I can pair my htc with it (and I disabled my wifi and mobile data), but doesn't seem to be connecting to the Internet.
Any ideas or extra free apps I need to install?
did anyone tried and tested while connected to a wifi then you activated wifi hot-spot? it always says "Turn off wifi to use wifi hot-spot" any one have ideas on these on how to work both while connected to a wifi then activated wifi hot-spot because hot-spot only works with mobile data network.
Its not possible
A mobile can either recieve wifi or wifi hotspot
This may help u:thumbup:

Wifi hot spot means to broadcasting capability, i.e in case of a router it has hotspot which broadcast the network. router only connects devices to it's network or gateway. router dont use this wifi to get connected to another network. because it is impossible to do broadcasting and also to receive another broadcast from another device using only one gateway.
So if you are connected to a network using wifi then how you will be able to broadcast or create a wifi hotspot??
May be I made you understood..
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone knows of an Android app that will allow me to share the lan connection on my tablet via wifi?
Have looked at lots of hotspot type apps but the vast majority are simple shortcuts to an exisiting wifi hotspot function that shares the mobile data connection.
Seems daft to me that I have lan and wifi on my tablet but I'm looking at an ap to connect my other devices!
Thanks

If u have wifi connection u can connect via wifi

Are you trying to tether your data connection or do you mean using your tablet as a hub for an existing wifi connection?
What phone do you have?
What carrier?
Did you root your phone?
Have you flashed a new ROM?
Sorry but you were rather vague in your post.

Ok thanks. To clarify my tablet (not phone and therefore no carrier involved) has both ethernet and wifi I would like to use the ethernet to connect to my network/internet and then broadcast that connection via wifi.
This is exactly the same thing a normal wifi hotspot does except it broadcasts the mobile data connection as opposed to a wired connection.
The tablet has been flashed with Tims 6 ROM
Don't now if it's possible. On phone it;s not possible to share be a hotspot when you're on wifi. I guess it uses the same piece of hardware. That might also be the case for you with the LAN.
BTW try talking to this guy :

he had sort of the same question perhaps he figured it out?
edit: This is also you i now see.. never mind

How do you have your tablet connected to the internet, wireless or wired? If wired, how did you do that? If it's wireless, you're just using your tablet as a signal booster.
What i'm confused on is if you connected your tablet wireless and want to connect other devices to your tablet's "wifi" which in essence is wifi, why can't that device connect to the same internet as your tablet?
I think we're all a bit confused on what you're trying to accomplish.
Sorry folks struggling here with what you don't get (not being smart just confused)
I have an Android tablet that has both wifi and an ethernet connection, I connect to my network via ethernet and want to use that connection to then create a wifi hotspot for my other devices to connect to.
I already do this with my win7 laptop and am looking for an app to do the same on the tablet.
If my terminology is correct I need to bridge the lan connection to the wifi adapter?
I'm using my OPO, unlocked/rooted/latest stock rom, as our office phone. It's connected to a desktop phone via bluetooth. Problem is, when we get calls, the bluetooth interferes with the connection to the wifi extender, and the extender loses connection. I want to use 5ghz hotspot on the OPO, but even though I can select it when creating the hotspot, it doesn't really broadcast in 5ghz. It's still 2.4ghz. I can verify with wifi analyzer app on another device.
Anyone else get 5ghz tethering working? How about another rom, is 5ghz tethering working on other roms?
Hi,
First, I would Iike to thank you for the creation of this forum and the helpful organisation of it.
Now my two small issues:
I've a Nexus 7 2013 in my car's dashboard. I've connected my phone (for tethering and Make phone calls via tablet) to it via Bluetooth.
Now I've a backup camera that connects via Wi-Fi to my tablet. The problem here is that the camera is not connected to Internet, so my Wi-Fi connection keeps dropping as android don't like to keep connected to connections without internet. Without root, is there any way to solve this? Android asks me if I want to keep connected to this Wi-Fi, even without internet, which I confirm and tick the box to don't ask again, but it keeps asking.
When I manage to connect to Wi-Fi, for some reason I loose Internet connection via Bluetooth, as android seems to give preference to the backup camera Wi-Fi. Is there any way to force the Internet connection via Bluetooth only?
Thank you so much
Andre
