[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.

Enable 5Ghz hotspot broadcast in MM?

Maybe a daft question, but is there any hack to enable 5Ghz hotspot broadcast in Sony’s official MM rom? Referring here to an option available for other brands at Settings-->More-->Tethering & portable hotspot-->Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings-->Configure Wi-Fi hotspot. For whatever reason, seems Sony has decided not to provide ap config option of 2.4 or 5Ghz in MM.
Can confirm, by the way, 5Ghz broadcast works in various Cyanogenmod 13 roms available for the Z3 (all of which are too unstable for daily use however). Did only limited testing but speed difference was noticeable when tethering.
Thanks muchly.

VPN and WiFi Hotspot

One of my favorite features in the S7 is its ability to share WiFi (i.e. act as a WiFi extender / repeater). Since I travel a lot I like to connect my Chromecast in hotel rooms. However since hotel WiFi's need you to login, I wouldn't be able to connect my Chromecast to the internet. S7 solves the problem very elegantly.
Now the problem is that I need to connect to some media that is location specific (Hotstar / Netflix content). I use a VPN (tunnelbear) to access that content on my phone / laptop. However, if I share my S7 WiFi with the VPN on, the Chromecast does not connect to it? What could be the problem and is there a way around it without rooting my phone?
Regards,
Roy
good tread am asking all time for this possibility but can't share with vpn on where is problem !

Cast video to tablet from phone?

Hello,
I have a strange situation, I have a galaxy s21 ultra and tab s7+. What I would like to do is essentially use my cell phones internet to watch video on my tablet. My mobile plan does not allow my phone to be a hotspot, so that is out of the question.
So, is there a way to cast video watched on a phone to a tablet? Or something along those lines? In this instance I have no wifi at all.
Via Bluetooth. Requires wireless network is set to Bluetooth on both your devices.
