Hello,
it kinda sounds stupid but I gotta find a way to share my smartphone's wifi connection since in subway here in Korea, I get to use a free wifi but only via my smartphone since the wifi is Mac-address locked.
I found my Nexus 7 2013 to share its wifi connection with other devices through hotspot. However, my Galaxy S3 would only let me to the data conncetion not the wifi conncetion. I found this quite weird because Nexus 7's example tells me that sharing wifi connection is possible but Galaxy S3 would simply not let me to.
Is there is a way?

I have a Samsung i5800 and would like to use my data plan to use the Internet at home.
I tried setting my router Dlink DIR600 (ddwrt) to connect the phone but for some reason the Dlink is unable to connect to the Adroc network generated by android-wifi-tether.
So I thought to make the phone connect to the Dlink and to make the computers to route the internet through the android but the android does not allow the Wifi and 3G running at the same time.
Is this possible?
no!!!!!!!!
you cant link your router to your phone to boost the signal per say. What you can do is just a simple android tether to the devices you want to use at your home
You can't do that on your Android phone.
Thank you.
Hi!
I'm having an issue with the wireless hotspot function between the SII and the Galaxy Tab Plus.
I've set up the hotspot as the phone suggested, but when I connect the Tab, it can connect to the network, but can't seem to access the internet at all. The wireless connection bar is white, but not blue like it is when I've connected to my router.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Is this a pay only hotspot app on the SII as for example Verizons hotspot app which requires a seperate data plan? I was able to get Android Wifi Tether to work on mine. Something to do with tablets not being able to connect to adhoc wifi connections? My phone is an HTC Droid Incredible, open Wifi Tether and go to Settings>Change Setup-Method and enabled Softap (master) and was finally able to get my GTab to recognize the phone.
Sorry for the late reply!
I've asked my provider, and they said that I shouldn't have any issues using the stock app in Android. I had a look on the internet (Called Samsung and they were no help) about your suggestion on ad-hoc networks, and it seems to be bang on the money. I'm not too keen on rooting my phone at the moment, but will definitely consider it in the near future when ICS comes out.
Thanks for your help!

Which SII variant?
Hi
I just got my Nexus 5 yesterday and could not connect to the WIFI at work. People at work with Samsung Galaxy S4s are also unable to connect however the S3 and my Galaxy Nexus are able to connect fine.
There's two networks: a Guest network that doesn't require a password and a network that requires a password. I am unable to connect to either. The phone will say "Connecting" for a couple seconds and go back to "Saved". At home I'm able to connect fine.
I was wondering if anyone else is having similar issues, or know of a solution. If anyone had an S4 and now a Nexus 5 are you able to connect to networks you couldn't before?
Thanks
Jeff
This will be an issue with the network not the phone.
Hi there,
At my girlfriend's house there's an existing WiFi access point for their home network and they also have a bunch of computers wired in with ethernet cable. Mobile reception in the house is terrible but I've found one spot by a window where I can sustain a pretty decent dc-hsdpa link. I'm able to tether my laptop to my phone, the phone creates a new WiFi network ap and my laptop connects to that. That works fine.
The thing is, what I'd really like to do, is to have access to the dc-hsdpa connection from some of the wired computers on her home network. To do that I want to have my phone bridge the house network - via their existing WiFi ap - to the mobile internet connection. I'd like the phone to provide a gateway on the house network that could be manually used from the other computers. (I want to avoid using DHCP or anything as it will disrupt the network for other users.)
I know this is technically possible but I'm struggling to find an application that allows for this functionality. I've spent a good amount of time searching around the internet but to no avail. Does anyone know where I can look or of a suitable application? (My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 flashed to run a rooted variant of the play edition KitKat rom.) I'm happy to pay money.
Cheers, Dave.
Hello to all,
please, does anybony know any solution fo r that problem?:
Im using old android phone (rooted Nexus 6) as hotspot for other devices.. with unlimited data SIM card. But when I connext other phones, these somehow know, they are connected to hotspot and they dont backup photos to google photos.
Is there any app or some way(can be for rooted phones), how to setup hotspot to behave as standard wifi router, that other connected devices will use that wifi as unlimited/standard wifi connection?
Solution is NOT to allow backing up over cellular data at connected devices, because im connecting a lot of devices many times a day and still changing that is not possible...
Thanks for any advice!

Sounds like your Nexus 6 is using slow network speeds. Is the Nexus 6 on LTE? What does the signal bar show, like LTE, 3G, etc?
Speeds are OK. On Nexus is LTE with nearly full signal. But for example connected Huawei P30 has at a wifi icon much smaller hotpsot icon, that it knows, its connected to hotspot and count with it like with limited connection...
