Read lots of forum posts but they all seem quite old so hoping this is possible. Created a network on my macbook and need to get the s8 to connect to it but it doesnt show under wifi networks. Installed wifi analyser and shows the adhoc connection but says android doesnt support them. Tried also writing a static ip but didnt work and im not sure if im missing something as have been trying stuff for few hours now.
Could someone 100% confirm that it isnt possible and if rooting would definitly enable that functionality. I just need my s8 to connect to the same wifi network as the laptop so i can run rekordbox and sync my music libraries. I dont have bband or a router so joining an adhoc wifi connection is the only way it will work.
Any light shed is much appreciated

For some reason, I'm having the hardest time being able to share the WiFi connection my laptop gets with my Gtab.
On my college campus, wifi signal strength is horrible. For my laptop, I have an external 2000mw with a 7db high gain antennae attached. Currently, I use the software Connectify to turn my laptop connection into a hotspot, then connect to the hotspot via my Gtab.
Now, when it works it works great. But it seems like everytime I re-connect my tab, itll show it connected (full bars) but I get no internet. The only work around Ive found this is to forget the connection, and re-do my setup through Connectify (half the time seems like even this doesn't work).
The problem could very well be Connectify which is why I'm posting this.
Anyone know how to either configure a network connection in Win7 x64 Ultimate to be a hotspot? Or know of software/app that does it (besides Connectify and Virtual Router..something like that) to where I just set it up once, and have no further issues after?
Again, I dont know if this is my ROM or Connectify (leaning towards Connectify since Ive had this issue with every ROM I've tried thus far.
I apologize if there is already info. on this in the forum, but I couldnt find it.
Thanks for any direction you can point me here!
TnT Lite v4.2.5
2.6.32.33-Cyanogenmod Pershoot Kernel
Connectify is the answer
As far as I know, Connectify is the only sw that can give you an infrastructure htospot for Win7 x64. I use it and it works. have you upgraded to the newest 2.2 release. Fixed a number f the kind of issues you mention. One cavaet: the new stuff seems to interfere with creating VPN connections on the laptop,

Yeah I'm starting to notice that. I stumbled on a guide using Windows 7 feature "netsh" which can enable a hotspot using your existing wifi connection, and I keep getting errors when enabling certain services required by this. Gonna try this again with Connectify off. So you dont have any issues with Connectify as far as connecting to your created hotspot like the ones I described? What do you have your settings set to in your Wireless settings area on your tab? What ROM are you using?
I have Connectify set to Autorun on my laptop, but even then I have yet to boot into Windows, turn on my tab, and have my tab just connect to my hotspot. Everytime I have to re-do the Setup Wizard, along with forget the connection on my tab and log back into that. Even then, that works maybe half the time.
Thanks for any info. you can lend my way!
So apparently, the "netsh" feature is only useful if you are connected through a LAN, then you share that connection via a wifi connection on the same pc. This defeats the purpose in my eyes, unless I missed something here.
Has anyone been able to use this Windows 7 feature with just a wifi connection and no LAN?
Hi
I'm just making this post as I can't really see any solutions for this.
Let me first explain the situation we're in, we have a bunch of laptops that need access to the internet and this building provides free wifi, YAY. The problem is, the wifi is unstable where we are, randomly doesn't allow computers to connect to it, and drops computers from the network for no reason. The landlord is pretty much unhelpful here, and we're only here for 2 weeks so we're just living with it right now.
I have a contracted phone with unlimited data that I tether with USB to my computer and then run a VPN on the computer which works fine for me, but I want to get the other laptops connected too.
The problem is my phone hasn't got tethering, so as soon as it detects a user agent that corresponds with a desktop based browser, it blocks the data connection until the signal is completely reestablished.
This is even a problem for my laptop as sometimes theres a random HTTP request that blocks the connections before the VPN can connect.
So the solution I really want for this is a VPN to be running on the phone, and then a hotspot to run on the phone. Then the laptops can connect to the phone and theoretically be behind the VPN, so everything can be connected and the connection won't get blocked.
I've tried all the iptables forwarding and masquerade rules to no avail, OpenVPN with "Use default route" to force all routes through the VPN also does not allow any computer on the hotspot to connect to get a data connection.
For more info, the phone is a SGS3 i9300 which is currently running the latest CM10.1 nightlies. The VPN is from HMA.
Does anyone have any suggestions for this?
Thanks for the time.
At work we installed a new WiFi router a few months back. The connection is open and no one needs a password to connect to it. But many who bought android phones recently arent able to connect to it. I have a OnePlus One with android 4.4.4 which doesnt connect to the WiFi. My colleagues own Xiaomi, Motorola phones which they bought recently, which also doesnt connect to the internet.
The phones detect the WiFi signal, says the network is saved but fails to connect to it no matter what. The temporary solution is to make our laptop into a WiFi router and use it but this is seriously annoying. The router is from HP and I dont know the exam model number for it at the moment
I will be grateful if someone can find any solution for this problem. Also, I am a novice when it comes to gadgets so, if your suggestion is to manually set up my WiFi settings please do so with clear instructions or a video of some sort. However I will be happy if this problem gets solved in a straightforward manner.
Please help!

No need to configure wifi on your device IMO.
Sounds like an issue with the wifi router.
To check an fix the internet settings of the wifi router, you will need the adminstrative access/console/password for the router.
Then you can check that all new devices afre allowed to connect. On some routers you can restrict the access to a list of known devices or by enabling a MAC address filtering.
If you find such options on the HP wifi router, disable it and restart the wifi.
And make sure that the SSID of the wifi network is visible (= not hidden). Some Android devices have issue connecting to hidden networks.
Thread closed. Thank you.
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?
Hello, before you hate me, my question relates with programming and I do not find anythink similar here.
So I'm develeping android. It has to send data from phone to PC via network (Wifi LAN connection, IPv4, DHCP working). There is NO internet access and never will be!!! On phones like Xiaomi Samsung Huawei and Lenovo it works like charm, but on some phones (Sony, Prestigio)(different android version on that phones, on sony probably 4.0 or 4.4 and 6.0 on prestigio) it is not working, these phones detect wifi connection differently, they connect normally but then they said there is no internet connection and show small exclamation mark next to wifi symbol although they stay connected to wifi and ping agains them works normally, but android api network operation not works anymore, only when I connect that wifi LAN network to internet, android network api started to work normally. So faced someone to similar problem? Is the a solution to make it work on network without internet access? I do not have access to problem phones so I do not can run debugger on them. I will be glad for any advice or usefull link. Sorry for bad english but it is not my native language.
PS: Please it's not problem with wifi access point or network configuration on router or phones, I am sure. Phones from xiaomi, huawei... work normally, same code, same configuration, same network without internet access.

I don't know how you expect anyone to help solve this issue or troubleshoot what is going on if you do not have access to the devices that have the problem. If you do not have the phones in your possession to test them, we can't help you.
