I plan on recording internet radio streams to files on my windows pc. I will be syncing these files to my phone using mobile data pointed to my own domain via dynamic dns. to reduce bandwidth costs, I will be using my wifi when at home. even though my home bandwidth is unlimited, will it be wasted due to redundancy? ie, when on the home wifi, will the data flow from my pc to the internet through my router and then back through my router to my phone?

So I setup a PPTP server on my router. My phone connects to it and traffic flows without issue over 3G/4G. I want to be able to view my LAN resources(NAS, Media Server, Printer, Etc).
The problem is I don't seem to be able to get my phone to realize it's on a LAN. My file explorers and even my HTC apps (like Gallery) insist on connecting to WiFi to be able to access network resources.
My phone is an HTC One running 4.3. Any ideas on how to go on?
ok so im working on a wireless project, and there is 1 thing i need to check into...
let me start by saying what i have, and the goal....
1. I am using a "Router/Wifi AP" that has no internet, but it has a laptop connected to it... side note: Laptop has DHCP service..
2. Laptop produces a camera feed.. that streams to a IP (android cellphone) over UDP inside the "internet-less local area network";
ok, so the goal is to "connect to the wifi device without losing cellular data (to access google maps and other APIs)"
PROBLEM: when i connect to WiFi(internet-less local area network) on android device,, it does not use Cellular data to connect to internet/APIs
is there any special network ranges that allow the android device to connect to cellular data when connected to a wifi(with no internet)?
Hey guys, I've searched and seen similar questions asked with no clear answer. I live in an area where my the internet speed is extremely slow. My mobile data is much faster and allows me to stream videos, music etc. However, in order to connect with all of my other devices on my home wifi network (chromecast, roku etc.), I'm forced to use the terrible wifi internet speed instead of my mobile data. Is there any way around this? Apps, hacks etc?
You could possibly try a teathering app. That might work. I Hope This Helped in any way.
what is need of data when you have home wifi.

My home Internet is extremely slow and the only carrier available in my area. It's too slow to use any streaming services
How about Wi-Fi router with sim card support?
I am using Netflix on PS4, which is connected to mobile Hotspot of OnePlus 6. As my data allowance is limited, I want to force the Hotspot to use maximum 1 mbps speed. My mobile data speed is around 10mbps.
I have found one app "Bandwidth Ruler", but it requires root to function properly. So Is there any way to limit the bandwidth of mobile Hotspot/USB tethering on OnePlus without root? Thanks for your help.
Sadly it impossible to do it without root.. If you have any extra router at home... You can set bandwidth limiting on your router
Scenarios:
Using the phone offline while having a simcard attached to the phone. (Assumption: due to celltower tracking, the location of the carrier is constatnly monitored)
Connecting to wifi and having simcard attached to the phone while using a vpn. (Assumption: the vpn is useless because the real location is still trackable via celltower)
Connecting to wifi without a simcard while using a vpn. (Assumption: real location should be hidden because of the vpn and the lack of a simcard)
Connecting the phone to internet via ethernet-cable while using a vpn. (Assumption: real location should be hidden because of the vpn and the lack of a simcard)
While i'm sure that my assumption for the first two scenarios is accurate, i'm confused about the last two, what's the difference between connecting via wireless-wifi or ethernet-cable in terms of geolocation tracking, could the true location still be tracked in the first example (using a vpn over wifi without a simcard)?
Wi-Fi Location Tracking: How Does It Work?
Wi-Fi location tracking is a system created to locate devices in areas where GPS doesn't work as well. Read our article for the full story.

Interesting.
Now i'm confused if using a vpn prevents sites from determing my real location based on the wifi-router/modem.
Don't confuse things:
A SIM card ( full form: Subscriber Identity Module or Subscriber Identification Module ) is an integrated circuit (IC) intended to securely store the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) number and its related key, which are used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices (such as mobile phones and laptops).
Wi-Fi is a family of wireless network protocols based on the IEEE 802.11 family of standards, which are commonly used for local area networking of devices and Internet access, allowing nearby digital devices to exchange data by radio waves. These are the most widely used computer networks in the world, used globally in home and small office networks to link desktop and laptop computers, tablet computers, smartphones, smart TVs, printers, and smart speakers together and to a wireless router to connect them to the Internet, and in wireless access points in public places like coffee shops, hotels, libraries, and airports to provide visitors with Internet connectivity for their mobile devices.
A VPN ( full form: Virtual Private Network ) is a mechanism for creating a secure connection between a computing device and a computer network, or between two networks, using an insecure communication medium such as the public Internet. VPNs are mostly absused to bypass internet censorship. Encryption is common, although not an inherent part of a VPN connection. VPNs cannot make online connections completely anonymous, but they can increase privacy and security. VPN servers essentially act as your proxies on the internet. Because the demographic location data comes from a server in another country, your actual location cannot be determined.
