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?

good tread am asking all time for this possibility but can't share with vpn on where is problem !

Hello.
I already put this on the OnePlus Forum but had no answer. Maybe on XDA someone will manage to help me out.
I bought a wifi little device to stream music to my car Stereo and it worked great on my old iphone. I want to have the same result with the OnePlus but I’m having some trouble and need someone help.
This device has the ability to get Airplay and DLNA streams for mobiles connected to his wifi network, everything works great on iphone and on the oneplus. I use Airplayer app on my rooted OnePlus and I stream music on my OnePlus to my car stereo with no issues and with great quality.
So what’s the problem you ask.
The problem is loose my 3g connection as soon I connect to that wifi. So on my car I loose internet, cant receive emails, whatsapps, cant stream from spotify, etc etc....
On the Iphone works great, the dhcp of the router on this little device don’t send the gateway and dns to the iphone. And the iphone understand that its just a local network connection and route internet traffic through 3g. The iphone is smart. I was hopping that the ONE Plus was that smart and do the same thing, but he doesn’t. As soon I connect to the wifi of that device, my OnePlus disconnect the 3g Network instantly.
How can i have my OnePlus connected to the wifi of that device (to have Airplay or DLNA) and stil have internet???
Please help me... I'm driving crazy.
My wife has internet on her iphone while driving and I don’t???Dammm LOL
A workaround not a fix and I haven't tried it myself but maybe have a look at netup, as it is supposed to combine bandwidth on both wifi and cellular it might keep the connection up when you're connected to the car hotspot?

Thanks for the answer but I tryed the app and it works only on YouTube and other limited apps. Doesn't solve my problem to stream from other sites and maintain connectivity to receive emails and whatsapps while on my car with airplay enabled throught that little router. Thanks anyway.
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?
I would like to setup a local area network between my Nexus 7 wifi only tablet and another android tv box which I installed in my car as a media center.I can setup the network with wifi easily to make communication for the same purpose.But wifi and bluetooth radiation is bit concern for me.
I have tried an app called Easy Tether lite for usb cable connection.But it is only allowing to browse some internet sites.I cannot access files or upnp devices like kodi or bubbleupnp server.
Anybody Please Provide me the solution for usb local area network with or without internet.
Thanks in advance
Hello,
I have a question that has been bothering me for a while now.
How can I use 3g/4g internet and wifi at the same time on android? I know that there are some apps that allow this 2 network functioning, like download booster or Speedify. But is there a way to have 3g and wifi at the same time without any apps? I succeeded having 3g and wifi simultaneously on iOS by changing wifi to static and leaving DNS and Submask empty. However it does not work on Android.
It is important for me because I have a device, which creates its own wifi station and when I connect to this device I cannot stream video from my android device at the sime time by using my internet provider 3g/4g.

Have you ever wanted to tether (share your network) while connected to a WiFi hotspot?
The current Android OS can only either be connected to a WiFi access point or tethering at one time, but this app will give you the capability to do both at the same time!
Have you ever wanted to share your public subscription WiFi to your friends?
Ever wanted to easily expand your WiFi to cover Wi-Fi dead zones in your home?
