Seems like this device might work on the prime. Does anyone know if this is plug-and-play compatible?

I have been looking for an application which is a more powerful version of the WiFi Tethering already included in a phone.
I have been looking for an application on Xda, Google, and the Marketplace but none I have found provides me with the ability to see individual users (or Mac addresses) data usage.
First a little background on what I am trying to achieve.
I regularly provide a WiFi router for people with IPods and devices with wireless but no internet connection who need internet access to update games / browse the internet, and whilst my FUP at 500mb is quite low, I rarely use more than 20mb in a month so it doesn't bother me as beyond 500mb the connection is just limited to text and images (downloads and internet streaming are disabled after 500mb) which is all that I need.
However when my FUP has been exceeded alot of devices cant do the small updates this is no good when games or apps require it (as I have seen a couple even stop working till updates are completed) due to the connection being restricted. I have usually tracked it down to an over enthusiastic user who is watching videos on youtube, which has wiped out 100mb of my usage within 2 minutes on one occasion.
I am running both Android and Windows Mobile on my HD2, however I doubt WM will have a suitable app which is why I am hedging my bet with the Android market place, however a Windows Mobile version wouldnt go without great thanks, Whilst the built in "Portable Hotspot" of Android is good as it lets me restrict the number of users and see the Mac address of connected clients, it doesnt let me monitor their usage and then let me disconnect individual users them from the connection.
Whilst im sure there is apps for overall phone usage I am looking to monitor the individual devices usage as with 3-5 devices it is hard to distinct between legitimate usage and constant heavy usage.
Is there any Wifi Tethering app to let me do this?
To summarise:
Wifi Tethering App
Android / Windows Mobile
Shows Client Usage
MAC filtering (or alternatives which allow individual devices to be disconnected)
Preferably freeware however im sure I could be persuaded otherwise.
Thanks in advance
I was also thinking an app like this would be useful.
I can keep track of all data with 3G Watchdog, but knowing exactly how much data each wifi connected user takes up would be nice.
I realize this is thread necromancy, but did you ever find such an app? I too share my unlimited connection with coworkers, and there is one in particular that likes updating Xilinx (a "patch" is 8GB) and Windows Updates and so on over my connection. I am looking for something with QoS so I can put bandwidth caps on the heavy users that aren't my 4 machines.
Bandwidth ruler
There is an app called " bandwidth ruler free " for this . But this app monitors all users data connected to the Wifi hotspot . So it gives the overall data usage.
It can also set the download/upload speed for the wifi hotspot and this applicable for all the users .
it can also create multiple simultaneous data plans for the wifi hotspot.
you can download it via this link :
Also , you can find its description in the following xda thread :

I wanted to implement the application specific VPN client in android, that is vpn connection once established should be only available to our application and rest of the apps in android device should make use of normal internet connection.
To elaborate my need more, i have an application already which connects to corporate email, files and other data from internet normally but for some security reason we need it to be go through tunnel within our application and access everything within via tunnel basically want we are looking here is security while accessing company corporate network.
Since we are new to something like this we don't have a hint on how to start what protocols to use etc (we are assuming ipsec l2tp for now), any information, hint or redirects to useful resource will be really helpful.
And between we are just looking to send and receive data over tunnel, there is nothing more or need to control computer on the network all we need is to route data through corporate firewall and should support multiple vpn servers such as cisco, microsoft etc. Can any one say how complex or how feasible to implement it.
If your goal is just for establishing a secure connection and not controlling other computers or resource on network how about going with SSL encryption.
You are asking about complexity and i assume you are naive with this technology, as per my knowledge its quite a complex and may account to as big as your present application, Here are few pointers as you may look into: Split tunneling, Low level Network protocols, feasibility of implementation depends on size of your team and their expertise level in socket programming and remember your attempting to accomplish something which is already built into most of the OS and more complex. one of our dev team worked on split tunneling for months finally gave up since client settled for non PPTP application

Google Play Description - Power Sleep lets you donate the
processor power of your smartphone
or tablet to support researchers at the
University of Vienna with the
decryption of protein sequences. The
decrypted sequences are used to
benefit cancer and Alzheimer's
research, amongst others.
THE FIRST ALARM CLOCK TO DO
GOOD DEEDS
Power Sleep functions like an alarm
clock. When you go to sleep, your
smartphone or tablet requests a data
package from the SIMAP server
(Similarity Matrix of Proteins) at the
University of Vienna and starts
calculating. When your alarm rings,
the process ends and the package is
recorded in the SIMAP database. Fully
automatically and for free – Doing
good has never been easier.
Your network operator may charge
you to download the app and data
packages via a mobile data network
or WiFi. Please ask your mobile
wireless or internet provider about
rates and data volumes.
HOW IT WORKS
Power Sleep uses BOINC, a
technology for distributed computing,
as the basis for using the unused
processor power of your smartphone
or tablet only when you don't need it.
To ensure everything runs smoothly:
Remember that your smartphone or
tablet must be connected to a charger
and switched on
You must be connected to a WiFi
network so that Power Sleep can start
calculating
Please ask your internet provider
about rates and data volumes
You have the possibility to change
your standard settings so that the
data packages can also be calculated
via the mobile data network
Please ask your wireless provider
about costs and data volumes
Exceeding your data volume can lead
to additional costs
The average amount of data
transmitted is 1 MB per package for
download and about half the size for
upload
The estimated duration for the
calculation takes between 30 minutes
and 1 hour per data package – the
longer you sleep, the more data
packages can be calculated
All functions remain available during
the use of Power Sleep
Power Sleep functions on Android
smartphones and tablets from version
2.3 with ARM processors onwards.
For optimal use, we recommend
smartphones and tablets from Android
version 4.1.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Samsung and the University of Vienna
do not collect any of your personal
data. Your processor power is used
solely for the benefit of scientific
research.

FOR CONNECTION PROBLEMS
An app update can cause connection
failures with the SIMAP server. To
solve the problem, the connection
must be re-initialized for the new app
version. Please restart your
smartphone or tablet and start
Samsung Power Sleep again.

great share !!
Hello, I stumbled upon this app but I can not find more information about it.
Was wondering if someone could check into it. Main goal for this is to get better performance out of the wifi, but im not sure if it's good or bad.
If anyone uses it please let me know
Here's the link to the app:

Don't even think about doing so!
A maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest size packet or frame, specified in octets (eight-bit bytes), that can be sent in a packet- or frame-based network for example Internet. The Internet's Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) uses the MTU to determine the maximum size of each packet in any transmission. Too large an MTU size may mean retransmissions if the packet encounters a router that can't handle that large a packet. Too small an MTU size means relatively more header overhead and more acknowledgements that have to be sent and handled. Most computer operating systems provide a default MTU value that is suitable for most users. In general, Internet users should follow the advice of their Internet service provider (ISP) about whether to change the default value and what to change it to.
If you do so your normal Wifi range might get tweaked leading serious issues such as frequent wifi disconnects, no connection, may result in loss of the Wifi Direct Feature.
Phone may be soft bricked and phone may reboot every time any wifi network is availble. I suggest don't use this app until you are a developer!
Wifi range or speed can't be increased by any app. It depends upon hardware. Wifi a/b/g/n is usually faster than Wifi b/g/n so prefer buying a new device rather than using this app. It is purposely for developers.

I want the application I am developing to use the Wi-Fi and Mobile Data (cellular) interfaces simultaneously on my Android 11 Galaxy Tab S7 5G device. The setting "Mobile data always active" does indeed allow fast interface-changeover. However, both interfaces are never data-accessible simultaneously. Using a third-party channel-bonding VPN service, called Speedify, this is possible on this Galaxy Tab S7 5G tablet. Speedify uses something mysterious called channel bonding with their VPN service to accomplish this. Also, a Google Pixel running Android 11 is also able to use both interfaces simultaneously, without any third-party utility help. In addition, the Garmin ActiveCaptain App also, somehow, gives this tablet the ability to communicate on both interfaces, simultaneously. How can my application use both interfaces on a Galaxy Tab S7 5G without using the Speedify App (not possible because of security and business reasons)?
Did you get anywhere with this?
How have you verified the Garmin app has this functionality? And when are both interfaces used? I wonder if only one channel has a typical data connection, and the other is for some other purpose (location, or something).
I think Speedify gets around the usual OS limitations by creating a single virtual device that all requests go through, then they decide which network to send packets on. It is neat to hear this can work on a mobile device though! I had assumed their service was for people on more typical PC like hardware.
In a way I'm not surprised Google's own phone has managed some tricks others haven't. Though I'd hope it wasn't an Android 11 only feature (meaning 12+ don't/won't have it).
This assumption of only cell or wifi being active might be baked in at an OS level to force better battery life. Personally I like flexibility and choice, but I can imagine less knowledgeable users getting angry at their terrible battery life (after they enable a feature they don't understand).
Maybe this is worth filing a bug with Android and seeing what they say? Or asking Samsung directly?
I was bummed when I figured out I couldn't just pay two ISP's for internet service and load balance across both easily. That my consumer router's optional 2nd WAN port was only a failover option (use one or the other).
As you alluded, for Samsung phones and tablets running Android 11 or Android 12, the ultimate solution is to route both WiFi and Mobile Data (cellular) data through a virtual interface e.g. tun0, via a VPN tunnel interface. I believe this will "shield" the Samsung one-or-the other route-switching that prevents simultaneous operation over both WiFi and Mobile Data. I am assembling just such a VPN now. I could certainly use any tips or suggestions from others that have already been down this road.
