Wifi repeating as hotspot? - Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers

Hi all,
can anyone tell me if the Mi 10 Ultra is capable to make an existing wifi available to other devices? I mean that I connect the Mi 10 Ultra to an existing wifi and then set up a hotspot, then I see two wifi icons in the bar at the top. Does the smartphone then work like a kind of wifi repeater or does it use mobile data via the SIM card? Thanks!
cheers, jennix

Router Problem

my question is.. is there other alternative to be able to share it without using a computer?

I don't understand...you are basically using your Blackberry/laptop configuration to make a mobile hotspot, right? If the Xoom can access the wifi signal for one app it should be able to for any app. Maybe I'm missing something. Can you give more explanation?

I connected my blackberry bold which has 3g to my laptop which broadcasts the connection via wifi. The chrome browser and android market and other goodies apps connect but installed apps don't connect. Plus I recently bought a huawei e5 mobile 3g wireless router. I got my xoom connected to the network but right now only the browser goes online,. The other apps just do not. I don't know what other piece of detail I can give other than the fact that my Xoom wifi is not connecting to 3g networks broadcast via wifi. Any ideas?
This is really very strange... I switched my 3G-Xoom into flight mode and then activated WiFi (so it basically behaves like a WiFi-only Version) and connected it to my mobile (Samsung Galaxy S) and all apps are able to access the internet. Connecting ist to a UMTS-Router (Option GlobeSurf) also worked like a charm...
Did you try to connect your Xoom to a WiFi-Router at home (= Internet access via cable not UMTS)? Does this work or do you encounter the same probs?

Global Wi-Fi network using our phones.

With all the Wi-Fi and processing power of our phones, I wonder if we can actually make one big Wireless mesh network using our phone's Wi-Fi.
Is it possible?

It is possible. But wifi range limit range is going to limit the network in size if it got it to work. Also most androids phone dont have ad-hoc so wifi mesh would not been seen by other users. My old windows 5 phone works with wifi ad-hoc but android does not.
They are to apps that try do network meshing open garden which will use bluetooth and The Serval Mesh which makes calls over wifi.
open garden shares your internet with other open garden users.

Connection over hotspot behave as limited

Hello to all,
please, does anybony know any solution fo r that problem?:
Im using old android phone (rooted Nexus 6) as hotspot for other devices.. with unlimited data SIM card. But when I connext other phones, these somehow know, they are connected to hotspot and they dont backup photos to google photos.
Is there any app or some way(can be for rooted phones), how to setup hotspot to behave as standard wifi router, that other connected devices will use that wifi as unlimited/standard wifi connection?
Solution is NOT to allow backing up over cellular data at connected devices, because im connecting a lot of devices many times a day and still changing that is not possible...
Thanks for any advice!

Sounds like your Nexus 6 is using slow network speeds. Is the Nexus 6 on LTE? What does the signal bar show, like LTE, 3G, etc?
Speeds are OK. On Nexus is LTE with nearly full signal. But for example connected Huawei P30 has at a wifi icon much smaller hotpsot icon, that it knows, its connected to hotspot and count with it like with limited connection...

Question I need to enable 5ghz hotspot in google pixel 7 pro

Hello. I'm switching from an iPhone, on which I was able to share my 5G mobile connection to my laptop at 5ghz, which gave me 350mbps, however my new Pixel 7 pro is only offering 2.4ghz band, despite disabling "extend compatibility", I've read that this "feature" is new since Android 13.
How can I "fix" this "feature"? The hotspot is my only way to get internet, and 90mbps is not good.
Thanks
5G for Hotspot works just fine on T-Mobile. Connects to my Laptop and have highs in 270-290 Mbps in house on the 5Ghz band. Im using a Macbook Pro.
make sure "ensure maximum compatibility" is turned off on the hotspot settings (thought there was a different way to do this before)
i never had "maximun compatibility" enabled, i also tried disabling 2.4ghz on my laptop device manager, but then the phone doesn't show on the wifi list, how can i fix this?

maybe the laptop only support 2.4ghz to android phones might need to update the drivers or firmware for your laptop wifi to support 5G with pixel 7
with my iphone 13 i get 5ghz hotspot (and my computer gets 350mbps from 5G)

Hi, hotspots on pixels work "smart". The hotspot is 5GHz, but as you move your phone further away from the connected device, it drops to 2.4GHz.... so try sticking your phone next to the computer/laptop, then turn on the hotspot. Should be 5GHz.
thanks for the advice @iplux , but i keep the phone a few milimeters from my computer all the time, so that's not the issue
