[Q] ip subnet mask and gateway info for android portable wifi hot spots - General Questions and Answers

ok, this may seem realy trivial but i have been searching for about three days for a way to find either my phones subnet mask and gateway id`s... i have found a few answers but they are rediculously complex and some only pertained to rooted phones which i do not have at this time... basically what im trying to do is connect my ds lite to my androids portable wifi hot spot.. the problen is the the encryption is so uptight and the ds lite is so underdeveloped the it cant auto obtain the ip adress... well i know my phones ip adress... the problem now is that manual setup doesnt allow you to enter JUST your ip adress and it auto obtain the subnet mask and gateway id.. it makes you enter it all ...
so does any one have any helpful info as to howto obtain these values.. or if perhaps the subnet mask and gateway values come from the wifi hotspot itself and if so how do i obtain them from he app being that it doesnt offer the info openly

Specifying DNS Servers for WiFi Connection

Hi Folks,
I have set up my wife's SPV E650 to hook up to our wireless network at home so she can connect to the internet through the home wireless network. We have static IP's on our LAN. Although I have specified a static IP for the E650's wireless connection, I cannot find out where I specify the DNS servers to allow her to connect to the internet via our ISP, (I know the DNS server IPs, I just can't find out where I enter that info on the E650). So at the moment, I can connect to the home network, but cannot get onto t'internet!
It is quite likely that I am being a spaz and am missing something obvious... regardless, if you can help me, let me know!
Cheers

even if you have a static IP you should not have to specify a static DNS because your default gateway should be your router IP address and your router should automatically give the DNS servers to any device that pulls that ip address

Thanks for your response.
All the other devices on my home network (laptop, PC, Xbox 360, SPV M3100) ask for the DNS server to be specified in a static IP environment, and they all connect to the internet just fine through the wireless network.
I am sure you are right, but I know that none of the above mentioned devices connect to the internet without the DNS servers specified.
So, question remains, how do I specify the DNS servers on the E650? Maybe a registry entry?
@mortalwombat,
i have the same problem with my htc s710.
Even though I run the wireless network with static IPs, I set my HTC S710 to get the IP "from a server" (= dynamic IP setting).
I did this after I tried with an IP Adress within my IP Adress Range.
So what happened is that my S710 somehow gets an IP Adress from my router that is almost in my regular IP Range.
You can try to set an static IP Adress within your Range first and then switch to dynamic IP Adress on you device..

[Q] Why does my Wireless not connect in G300 U8815!!!?

Hello everybody! and sorry that i post this question here!
I have noticed some 2 months ago that i can not connect to wireless on my Huawei Ascend G300 U8815 , but i didnt care.
It was originally on GB 2.3.6 B885 then i upgraded to B895 then ICS B927 but wireless didnt work even before upgrading.
Yesterday i bought a TP link Router WR740N and setup my internet on it making it as an A.P, so i was sure that setting were correct since i connected with my laptop and another phone which is Nokia Xress Music 5530, but not on my G300.
So, my problem is that the phone recognize Wireless connections and when i try to access with or without password, it just says that my network is registered and keeps on trying to connect but unsuccessfully.
I tried all securities on my router from non to wep to wpa to wpa2 psk and still the same...
i even checked in some forums that some people experienced this problem, so they proposed :
-to reset phones setting to factory which didnt work
-use wifi fixer which didnt work
-upgrade to ICS which made me happy but still no wifi.
-use static ip address but also refsued to connect.
my self i downloaded WIFI MANAger Premium which is a very good soft but still knowing all networks but keeps turning and then stops.
Please find below my router settings:
LAN MAC Address:
64-70-02-55-4F-F8 IP Address:
192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0 Wireless Wireless Radio: Enable Name (SSID): Meganet Channel: Auto (Current channel 6) Mode: 11bgn mixed Channel Width: Automatic MAC Address: 64-70-02-55-4F-F8 WDS Status: Disable WAN MAC Address: 64-70-02-55-4F-F9 IP Address: 88.222.160.212 Dynamic IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.248.0 Default Gateway: 88.222.167.254 DNS Server: 88.222.0.1 , 88.223.0.1
So, on the phone when i used static IP i did like this:
IP: 192.168.1.101
Mask: 255.255.255.0
GW: 192.168.1.1
DNS1: 192.168.1.1
DNS2: 192.165.1.1
Can any body help me please because i have tried all solutions and i think that the wireless driver is corrupted or something like that, so can it be replaced or flashed somehow because im using G internet now and it's exensive.....
Please i need your expertise!
Very strange
I am g300 owner too,and i never had any kind of problem with WiFi,it connects to everything (access point,printers,public places network,etc). It could be a factory problem,and I think you should take it into assistance. If you can't or you don't want to,you can try to root it and install an other kernel,but remember that this will compromise your warranty. There are all the guides and things you need at M*d*co.com huawei g300 forum. The best thing you can do is the first one,the second is a strictly recommended alternative.
Bye
Thanks...
Thanks for the answer.
So, by changing Kernel it means what? because i dont have big idea in Android and i just know the FW change so is it the same?
I also know that roting means giving full access to the phone so i have to root the phone and then?
I try to explain you that in a few lines
Android is a UNIX based OS,and it has a structure with UI,libraries,and lots of other stuff. The Kernel is the "root" of the structure "tree". It has every hardware driver and it controls those. It controls also WiFi lateen yard drivers, and this is why I advised you to try to change kernel and use a custom one,but this probably will not help you,cause in the update between ICS and gingerbread there's already been a kernel change(from 2.6.35 Linux kernel in GB to 3.0.1 Linux kernel in ICS), so the more probable reason of your problem is that your WiFi lateen yard is broken from factory. Take it to assistance, it's better than lose warranty and risk to break your phone

B593S-22 Huawey Router - Remote Management Issue

Good Morning Folks. After a long and unsuccessful internet search I ask, for you expert assistence, if there is a way to remotely control the B593S-22 Huawey Router. I've only managed it via ddns only if I was connected to the same wifi network (FIY I have a public IP). I learned from various researches that some internet providers, a long time ago,provided a script (vivaupdater.exe) that enabled the port 8080 assigning it to the router's IP address (in native port forwarding it is impossible to set it) but I did not find anything more in Internet. Thanks in advance and I hope you can help me.

Assigning a static IP address to a phones hotspot

How can I assign a static IP address to my phones hotspot?
I use the hotspot on my Samsung M31 to connect my laptop running Windows 10 to the internet.
I also have Oracle's Virtual Box VM running a few test websites on the laptop on Ubuntu Server 22.04, which need a static IP address to access.
A few days back when I ran ipconfig at the Windows command prompt, it showed my wireless IP address as 192.168.166.135. Today, it show as 192.168.35.125. Meaning, all my sites are now broken. Is there a way to stop the hotspot from changing IP addresses?
Can someone please help?
Thanks,

I don't know the answer to your question directly as your situation is more complicated than is mine but I will try to help in so much as you can at least check what your current settings are.
My setup is only similar to yours in that I have apps (such as vysor & scrcpy) on Windows which are expecting a static IP address from my phone. However, where my setup differs from yours is I'm not using my phone as a hotspot - the router is assigning the IP addresses.
However, maybe what I've learned by randomizing my MAC address on each connection can help you - where I say maybe - as I your situation is using the phone as a hotspot and mine is passively accepting the IP address handed to the phone by the router.
In Android 11, the phone's Wi-Fi radio MAC address can be randomized per SSID, in which case the "address reservation" feature of most routers (often incorrectly called "static" IP addresses) won't work as intended. Worse, in Android 12, in Developer options, you can set a switch to randomize the Wi-Fi radio MAC address of the phone on every connection, regardless of the SSID.
Hence, you have to set the "static" IP address request in the phone itself, so that the router will respect that request for a static IP address.
(As an extra complexity, my SSID broadcast is hidden for privacy reasons (not for security - but privacy), which complicates things only a tiny bit as you have to turn off auto-reconnect for privacy.)
See the images below where maybe (but maybe not!) this information will help you track down why in your (hotspot) case, this static IP address requrest isn't being honored in your hotstpot setup.

How do I assign a permanent static IP address to hotspot in Android 10
I would like to assign a permanent static IP address to hotspot in Android 10 (Unofficial LineageOS 17.1 for Natrium by LuK1337, rooted with Magisk v20.3 and updated to Jan 11, 2020 build). Now whenever I turn on the hotspot, it assigns a...

To assign a static IP address to your phone's hotspot:
Go to your phone's settings and find the hotspot or tethering settings.
Look for the option to set the IP address as "Static" or "Manual."
Enter the desired IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server information.
Save the settings and restart the hotspot.
