Connect to ad hoc and use mobile data simultaneously? - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
Okay here's the scenario. I'm at work and I've got my laptop(Win7), android phone{KitKat GPE) and a good 3G reception. I would like to create an ad-hoc connection from my laptop to the phone for media file sharing only and still be connected to 3G on my phone for Internet. I have no intention of sharing the internet to my laptop as I know it will be hungry for updates and hog most of my bandwidth. Is it possible to connect to WiFi and mobile data simultaneously and if so please advice me on how i can go about it. Appreciate any input.

[Q] Using 3G and Wifi simultaneously

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.

[Q] Wifi tethering

Hello,
I have been using Tom Codon XDA wifi sharing app for almost 2 years and all of the sudden it stopped working. I have hard reset the phone and reinstalled the application but no go. The connection is no longer being made to sprint. Wondering i
Any ideas on this would be great. Or even if I can able tether would be nice.
Thanks in advance.
Try Omarket's Mobile Wifi Router
No I dont know how to help with that. I use to use tom codon (and still can) but my Wii can not connect so I got a Cradle Point MBR1000. Im very happy with it. Now all my computers in the house truly are in a real wifi network with each other and can share files. and use the internet through the MBR1000. The mbr1000 gets the internet from my phone via usb. Its great. They make portable routers also. One of there portable routers can grab internet from any source, wifi, tethering usb phone as a modem (internet sharing) , cat 5, express modem card. And combine them for faster internet.

[Q] wifi hotspot

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

I didnt understand what u said
If u want to share ur tab net to other use wifi hotspot
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?

[Q] WiFi tethering bridge to existing access point

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.

Tether and WiFi Network in one?

I've been trying to figure out how but failing. Is it possible to share my phones Internet using a program like WiFi Tether Router and share my phone on the same network?
If you don't know what I mean, when I join a network my PC or phone can see each other...link to each other for file sharing, connect to things like roku or plex or side sync.... But when the phone is the device doing the tethering it isn't available on the network. ..
Is it possible?
