Ok, I've been looking around for a couple hours now but people aren't understanding my question/dilemma
I am currently using a goWIFI connection on my tablet, I'm only allowed to login with one device at a time. So I am trying to share my xoom's wifi, not data connection with my phone so they can both be using the same wifi connection
I do not want to share a data connection with my phone, I want to share the wifi connection with my phone. How can I do this? FoxFI only seems to share data connections.

And you have tried putting your tablet in airplane mode to shutoff you mobile data connection?
Are ypu on a custom ROM? I have never tried it but some seem to offer turning your tablet into a portable wifi connection, might be the backdoor to tether your phone that you need
I dont have a data plan right nnonow for my tablet, its only running on wifi as it is. I have already disabled mobile data in settings. I am running EOS 3 build 134.
I am just looking to share the current wifi connection instead of a data connection.
hi,
I have a nexus 7 wifi only and i use a 3g hotspot router with limited usage to connect when i am not home,when i am home i have a dsl connection without limit,i want an app to watch the data i use on each wifi network
thanks in advance
I normally have my Nexus 5 phone WiFi connected to my home network and have Data turned off.
If I move out of range of my network obviously the phone's WiFi connection drops.
When I return to within range of my home network my phone doesn't automatically reconnect to my home network. I have to press the power button on the phone to wake up the screen and within a couple of seconds the phone connects to my home network.
When I first got the phone I never had this issue. The phone would reconnect to my home network even though the screen hadn't been woken up.
When I got the phone it was on an older version of Android .. before Android version 5.
I have run the phone in Safe Mode and the automatic reconnect still doesn't occur.
So on Lollipop 5.1.1 should the reconnect to WiFi be automatic ?
I have thought of either doing a factory reset or a clean install of Lollipop but would like to know if the WiFi reconnect does work on Lollipop 5.1.1 before I resort to wiping the phone.
Can anyone confirm please if their phone does automatically reconnect to WiFi without them having to wake the phone up first ... thanks.
Don't have to wake phone but occasionally it will not properly reconnect, I have to go into WiFi settings and click connect. Its pretty random.

Well I decided to reinstall Lollipop 5.1.1 using the factory image.
After the factory image install I tested the wifi reconnect issue before making any changes. The problem still exists.

Pretty sure this is a Lollipop bug. My N5/N7 will do it without going out of range.
@ldubs Are you using 5GHz band per chance?

Before reinstalling Lollipop 5.1.1 I too would lose connectivity to my home WiFi network periodically while still in range of the network.
I put in a workaround on my DD-WRT router which has stopped the periodic losing connectivity. In the wireless section of DD-WRT I changed the Beacon Interval to 50 and also changed DTIM Interval to 6. I started with 4 for the DTIM Interval and increased it by 1 until the connectivity was stable.
My phone is connected to my router using the 2.4 GHz.

Don't think so, standard FiOS router setup.

Interesting that your Nexus 5 reconnects to your WiFi once you're back in range without first waking up the phone.
I take it you don't have any apps that have anything to do with WiFi.
I was just making a new post about this problem
I had same issue when i was on 5.1.1 (unlocked bootlader + rooted + xposed + gravitybox etc) but i always tought something breaks auto connect and didnt care so much.
When i flashed 6.0 (locked bootloader + unrooted ) everything was fine about autoconnect.
But after installing nova launcher prime + tesla unread it broke again.
Do you using 3. party launcher?
I did a clean install of 6.0 (marshmallow) and am using the default launcher and unrooted and yes my Nexus 5 auto-connects now

Wait...wait...WHAT?
My Nexus 5 with Marshmallow,have the same problem,the wifi does not reconnect when I'm back in the router range.
I have Nova Launcher Prime installed,can this be the cause?

Marshmallow has a new DHCP client. Maybe it's been fixed by that. You can switch between that client and Lollipop's client from Settings -> Developer options
Got the same problem on marshmallow.
When I get home it does not automatically reconnect to my home Wifi, only when I turn the screen on, which was not the case on lollipop and before.
Got similar problems at my university, although a little more inconsistent.
Sometimes it does connect to Wifi even thogh the screen is off, but sometimes it drops the connection while the screen is off, only reconnecting when i turn it on.

I'm suspecting that routers are playing a role in the wifi issues.
I have a router running DD-WRT and changed the following wireless settings:-
Wireless Network Mode = Mixed and Wireless Channel Width = Full (20MHz)
The phone's wifi connection is more stable. It reconnects to my home network when back in range without having to wake it up. It also immediately reconnects to my network on the odd occasions when the wifi connection drops.

My Nexus 5,when it was with Lollipop,never missed a wifi connection.
Now with Marshmallow,it's a pain...
Connection drops,then riconnects,then drops when I lock the phone,then reconnect when I unlock it...
Google have messed everything, with this update.

One thing to mention is I didn't upgrade from Lollipop to Marshmallow ... I did a clean install of Marshmallow.
The other thing is have you tried the Lollipop DHCP client that's available in the Settings -> Developer options ?
I did a clean installation too.
Flashed the factory image,from zero.
Yes I've tried the old DHCP,but it does not solve the problem...

Have you looked at your router's wireless settings ?

My home router,is an Asus Dsl55u,and it's working fine.
My work router,is a generic ISP modem,and it's causing all my problems after upgrading to Marshmallow.

I know with my router if I have the wireless channel width set to Full (20MHz) then my phone's wireless is stable and it auto reconnects.
If I set the wireless channel width to Wide HT40 (20 + 20 MHz) then the phone's wireless has problems.
under mobile hotspot there are 2 options:
1. the usual 'share your LTE etc' data
2. WIFI Sharing.
Q: is wifi sharing: Wifi in / wifi out? for example to use on a flight when you have paid for wifi? I have been dreaming of this for years
anyone?
Yes that's exactly what it is, used it on my s7 in a hotel and gave wifi to everyone.
He friends realme has dual wifi same time connection option to increase speed and also mobile data and wifi same time option to increase speed
Is there any way to get this feature in our device
As you can't physically combine two data streams over two different medias into one, you can at most load balance data over the two connections. However I can't seem to find any SD-WAN feature like that on this phone/OxygenOS.
