Hi Guys,
Before my Moto G I had this Moto XT 389 and I was able to use it as wi-fi repeater. So, here's my question: Can i use Moto G as a wi-fi repeater?
Hi. What is a wifi repeater, forgive my ignorance. If you explain it to me I can try it and let you know if it works.

I dont think even Motoluxe could be used as Wifi repeater. I havent seen phone with 2 way wifi
Do you mean wifi tethering? Yes, it has option of being an hotspot for the mobile Internet.
@enrique097, wifi repeater is a small device (u can even connect to wall) which extends the wifi signal. It takes the signal and passes further.

If you want to turn your mobile phone to wi-fi hotspot, when somebody connects to it he will use your 3G connection to search the web.
But I was wondering is it possible to connect with your phone to wi-fi (router), and then turn your phone to hotspot, and when somebody connects to it to use wifi connection, not 3G.
Can somebody help me, if anything like this is possible or exist?
I don't really know what would be the point on connecting your phone to wifi and then your friend's phone, assuming you both are in the same place, connected to your phone.
Why not just both to the wifi?
I think it's not possible to have wifi hotspot connected to wifi, have you tried though?
If you try and it works then there you go, but i think it's slightly pointless

I'm not aware of any smartphone that makes this possible. The reason for this is the operation of the wifi devices: they're not built to support multiple networks at once. In 3G-wifi-tethering scenario the different networks use separate radios so using both at once is possible and even required for the scenario of using normal telephony functions while moving data through wifi.
Your scenario sounds a bit funny to me as well , why would you do such thing?Working around encryption or something?
I was asking about this beacuse of distance, I can't reach router signal from my room, and i was thinking if this could be a solution. But I didn't expect it's possible, just asked. Thank you anyway
So you'd be using one of the phones as an access point? lol, you should just buy an AP in any computer shop / Amazon for example, they're not too expensive, put it in a place more near your room and you'll have a stronger wi-fi signal

or maybe you buy a powerful antenna for your modem (maybe 10 Db Antenna) so your segnal will be more powerful ??
I know I can buy that but I wanted to do this just for a little experiment
Can you just go to settings and turn3g off

Have you tried usb tethering while connected to wifi..don't know if it'll work, but I'm wondering myself

AFAIK its not possible.
I also heard it is one WiFi connection only so you would need some other form of tethering.

Hello, I have a Motorola xoom but when ever I turn on the wi-fi it signals me that it is scanning but never seem to find the connection. I have tried it witj different routers but still get the same results. I just can not use my wi-fi and this is really troubling me
Are you rooted? Which xoom version? Which rom?

Hi,
new user here but long time lurker
I have a question about the WIFI antenna on the Moto G. Does it get a good signal far from the router or with walls in between? My house has three floors and my router is in the first one. Even on the second one I have problems connecting with my Sony X10 Mini running MiniCM7. My brother with an LG Optimus L3 can connect from anywhere in the house for example. Is the Moto G WIFI better or on par with the L3?
Thanks a lot.
I don't know about the L3, but for the phones that I've used in the past the G is not so good - not terrible neither, but not as good as an iPhone or Lumia Windows Phone

It's OK, however it depends which WiFi router You are using.
Moto G has the best WIFI and the best GPS, I ever had on any other phone, this includes S3, Note 2, Galaxy Nexus and N5.
Can't say this will be the same for you though.
If I remember correctly, most Wi-Fi antennas broadcast out in a (mostly) horizontal direction. That could account for not getting good signal on the 3rd floor.

You have to put the router on a cleanly position because router anthena are onmidirectional. In anothar way you have to put reapeater is the best option. You hev to search more information about wireless network.:fingers-crossed:

Oh, I have. But since the my brother's LG L3 is working just fine everywhere in the house and it's a very cheap phone I figured there's nothing wrong with my actual wireless network configuration
Hello guys, how r u?
I'm having a problem with my Moto G. When I turn on the wifi, I can see all network around me, but my network I can't see. I think it's not a problem with my router 'cause my notebook and my other smartphone can see and connect normally, only my Moto G can't see this network.
I'm using CM 12.1 (12082015) stock kernel, my other smart, that can see and connect to the network, is running CM 12.1 too...
Anyone can help me?
Hi, I have this problem, in my room I get only 1 bar of Wi-Fi while my brother with his Moto G gets 3-4,. Any idea about how to boost its signal? Any app or something? It's not a router problem or location problem because as I've said my brother has no problem with that.
Thanks in advance.

What ROM?
