I need to do the same thing i do with connectify but in my phone, i connect to the web with my wifi and share internet with the same wifi adapter.
i been looking into it for a while and people keep on say that i need 2 widi adapter for it but is SO no true coz i have and use only 1... I don't wanna use bluetooth at all or connect it with usb.
If anybody knows of an app that does this magic please let me know.
Thanks.
Have you tried wifi tether?

Thanks for the reply.
I havent find a tethering app that let me share my wifi connection over the same wifi adapter.
I am not looking to share my data plan by the way, Connectify work as a wifi repeater, so you log in to a wifi and the software let you share that same connection any way you like even simultaneously over the same wifi adapter.
I'm sure you have good reasoning, but why don't you connect the other device directly to the same wifi your phone is connecting to? are you trying to use your phone as a range extender?
If that is all you are doing, seems to me to be a waste of a good device.
You could go to dd-wrt.com, find the list of supported routers, then buy a cheap router that is supported and then flash that firmware. Then set up as needed.
I have been using that for years, except in wireless bridge mode.

I know this thread is super old...
one reason i have is open routers that need a login after connection. I have yet to get a repeater to work with one of these networks but connectify works as you connect your computer say yes i accept and then start sharing it.

You mentioned that the WIFI Repeaters donot work with Open Networks. Are you talking about "Wireless Repeaters and Range Extenders"? such as this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SQvaGEKOxc
fqrouter2 is the solution
Use fqrouter2 for rooted Android devices and you have a perfectly working WiFi Repeater (available free in Google Play Store)

Hello npg500, I installed the app you suggested but i am not satisfoed with it.
fqrouter doesnot "externds the range" of the WIFI. it just routes the internet connection though the Android phone it runs on (possibly by the MITM), keeping the routed device on the same network as it was before. i installed fqrouter to increase the signal strength from my Basement wifi. but no success. it shows my PC in the Scan area. but as mentioned it doesn't extends the Range.
Anynody having any idea what App can serve that functionality? Or Am I doing something wrong somewhere?
Anyone can suggest how to work this wifi repeater or extender mode on S5?
fqrouter is saying wifi is not supported on S5 but it does have MITM
Hi guys i see you know sometging about this...basically my neighbours gave my wifi password i typed it on android and i taught to share the connection from phne to laptop..is that possible?

You can simply view the password from your phone and input it in your laptop. Or, except you are experimenting something.
Am I missing out something?

I have searched the forums and google for an answer to this but haven't been able to find anything.
What I'm trying to do is use my computers internet for my phone, and then broadcast it out. I've downloaded and used successfully the xda Android Reverse Tethering .exe and it's worked wonderfully. But the thing is I want to be able to use it in conjuction with a wifi tether app from my Samsung Galaxy S. My phone is rooted.
The purpose of this is to get internet connection on my PSP Vita. All of the internet in my house is wired, I don't own a wifi router nor do I want one. I live in a building where finding wifi passwords is easy for everyone as we all have the same general field of work, but no one near me has wifi.
What I've tried so far is using the xda Reverser Tether program with Barnacle Wifi Tether, Open Garden WiFi, and WiFi Tether. All apps I've downloaded from the marketplace. They work well at broadcasting my cell signal for use as Wifi, but none of them have been able to use the internet being sent from my phone.
In short what I'm looking for, or even if it exists, is a way to transfer my hard wired internet through my computer to my phone and subsequently the cellphones ability to act as a Wifi router.
Check my signature
Edit: *bump* I have removed it
check my threads
That looks close, but how could I use that, and then have my phone broadcast my internets computer through it's Wifi?
Hi ,
Use virtual router software in your pc and turn on pc and phones wifi.and connect to pcs wifi connection.if you have confusion try virtual router in google. i got succeeded in this but i dont have any link to give you.
If i helped press thanks.
This sounds like something that might do it. I have it downloaded but it's not doing anything. What were the steps you got to make it work for you?
Well, I was able to get it to work using redankaiahu's advice. The only thing is I had to go out and buy a usb-wifi adapter instead of using my phone like I would've liked. Oh well.
I know this really doesn't belong here, but did u know that if u get a router, u can actually change the frequency channel on it? Which means , no ones pc will pickup on the channel unless they adjust from their own pc's and know what channel u changed to.

I m having problems with my wifi Signal connection at home.. so i searched lots of blogs and sites, that is it possible to use android phone as wifi repeater, the answer is no..
SO today, a strange thing happened.. :silly: :laugh:
I connected my MICROMAX A25 to wifi (main router network)...
after connecting to wifi, i turn on the portable hotspot and the wifi does not turn off (whether in other android phones wifi automitically turns off when the portable hotsport is on) my phone starts sharing my main wifi network (DATA CONNECTION IS OFF at that time)
My problem is solved and saved some bucks, while i m gng to buy a Repeater tomorrow..
But sadly this process is not working on other phones, but this process can be used on all by little bit tweaking or hacking...
Plz developers made it possible for other phones also.
For A VIDEO U can search my channel on YOUTUBE- gorkijatt
There's an app
I use fqrouter2. its available at the ply store. Works like magic.:good:
Also can use Android phone as 5G Receiver
So I use a HP laptop with a weak, pathetic 2.4GHz Ralink card. I also read about the TONS of problems people have getting around HP's BIOS whitelist - meaning if its not HP approved, you can't do a hardware upgrade yourself, or have to buy the HP (pricier) alternative. Or have to hack the BIOS.
Today out of necessity I just used my Nexus 5 to connect to a 5GHz network, then USB-tethered it to my HP. It worked like a charm! The laptop surfs. Oh yea.

i recently bought a CP900 printer which supports wifi printing in adhoc mode, but the problem is, my xperia z ultra cannot detect the adhoc networks, ive tried samsung phones, iphones, all can detect this network but mine.
i have tried to flash AOKP, and CM11 roms which still does not detect adhoc networks
is there a solution to this problem?
update, i have also tried some 3rd party wifi detecting software in the market, the network shows up, but when i try to connect it says adhoc not supported by android platform.

Have you tried using the WiFi Direct feature in stock ROM? From what I have read only one of the devices needs it to establish a connection.

Thanks for your quick reply, i will be using this direct outside of an wifi environment, your suggestion is great as i could possibly have a person open up their wifi teathering and use that as a bridge with both my printer and my cellphone connected to it, as my cellphone can work in this mode. although its not the perfect solution, its better than not usable one. thanks for enlightening suggestion.

I was suggesting trying to use the wifi direct function of phone to see if it will detect printer if infrastructure mode is used. I don't really have any knowledge regarding networking, just Googling stuff while I had a few minutes to spare.

the wifi direct does not work with the printer. the infrastructure mode, is just like any other printer when you connect to your home wifi, you can use the printer. my objective is to connect wireless on the location where a direct connection would be desirable.

I have one of these http://www.google.com/shopping/prod...a=X&ei=sbrXU_HYMoidyATcloHwDg&ved=0CDQQ8wIwBg at home, and wonder if it could be used to connect two devices. If so it would allow me to use my chromecast at hotels. Needing a second gadget is a crappy solution but it may work.
Yes I bought the chromecast V2 but I could never believe this stupid limitation that you can use it only with wifi conection which means you need a secondary device to make this work.
I have a fast and reliable 4G speed so I have no need to invest in any wifi solution.
I hope this is a joke ? must be some way around it ? (without root)

I use mine every day with only my phone's LTE signal through its hotspot. The trick is you have to use another phone to set up the chromecast to connect to it initially. You only need to do this one time to get the chromecasts's settings set properly, and then just turn hotspot on on your phone, chromecast will see it and connect every time.
I think the chromecast app is the only one that requires wifi on before it will even attempt to look for a receiver, because in my experience, streaming apps like netflix, hbo, youtube and comedy central dont consider what radio connects to where at all before the cast icon pops up.
Something else you can do to get that initial setup done is to connect it to another wifi AP with the SSID and WPA2 password set to whatever you want your phone's hotspot to use. Im pretty sure the chromecast only look at the network name and security (not MAC or anything like that) becasue ive done this a few times without issue.

Oh my god ? is this really true ? so you say you only need a wifi network ONE time ? to setup the chromecast and then I can use it with wifispot on my smartphone ?
This sound beyond stupid to me.
The problem is I have no secondary device I can do this with and I got no wifi network to connect to.
Must be some way around this some how if you only need to d this one time

That's what I'm saying.
The reason it doesn't work setting it up that first time is because that process involves both Chromecast and phone using the app fsetting it up to first connect directly to each other, then both connect to the same AP, then talk to each other again for through that network, WITH internet access at the same time. That's really hard to switch radios around fast enough (not impossible though) and still get it to accept and keep the settings for good
---------- Post added at 05:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 AM ----------
Also, once you get it working, youll probanly want to use a laptop or something like that to be the device that you use to tell the Chromecast what to play... It works better that way, and you can to use your phone for other stuff while that's going on if you want. You can cast local media from a PC with way better results as well, using something like Plex or the Videostream plugin in Chrome
i am a little confused here, use another device to set up connection and then use your own device right after? how is that going to work if its two different connections?

Are u needing help with the set-up process?
You need a 2nd local device to setup Chromecast.
1. Turn on cell phone hotspot (lets say name is Chase)
2. Connect 2nd device to Chase
3. Using 2nd device, setup your chromecast to connect to chase. TURN GUEST MODE ON
4. Once everything is set up and your chromecast is connected to Chase, you can use your smartphone running the hotspot to connect to the chromecast via the Pin. The 2nd device is no longer necessary.
Without something to connect the chromecast to the phone, I see no way to do it.
Side note, the pin feature can sometimes allow you to use your chromecast on hotel wifis that do not normally work.

OP, is there no where near you like a internet cafe, staples, library, anywhere that might have a computer with internet access with wifi? What about a smart phone shop like Verizon or Tmobile? Use one of their demo phones to do it.

I have same issue like this. The only thing is I don't use a Chromecast. I hook up my TV with LAN (Old Sony Bravia) to my router and my phone to same routers WiFi. So I am able to share and connect with TV. No issues. I have a crappy wired internet connected to it. I also have unlimited 4G plan on my phone. I use AllConnect to cast from my Phone to TV. Now I am able to cast Movie HD app via AllConnect on my TV. But as soon as I disconnect the wired internet from my router. I am not able to cast. I want to use my Phones 4G internet to stream on my TV. Theoretically it should be possible to cast using my routers LAN which I am able to. But as soon as I disconnect DSL cable from my router the streaming stops. Can anyone help me here.
Another way

Hello
You can also spoof the MAC of the chromecast on your phone and configure the chromecast by this way.
However you need to have root access on your phone to install a software like Mac Changer.
This solution is very usefull in an hotel which require a connection to an open wifi network and a second authentification with login and password.
Regards
where is the option?
thanks!

The T-820 is wifi. Are you asking to use it to Tether to another device, or using it to connect to the Internet via your phone? If it's the latter, you go into wifi settings and select your phone to connect to. You can't use it to connect other wifi devices as the T-820 doesn't have a cellular connection.

sorry, I wasn't clear.
there's no mobile in my test setup.
right now I have the lg v20 connected to the router/adsl via wifi.
Next, I create and enable a wifi hotspot on the v20.
the tab s3 connects to the hotspot and, finally, to the internet.
conclusion: the v20 did not have to disable its wifi to launch the hotspot..
thanks
Maybe describe your use case. What are you planning to tether TO the tablet.
The LG has a tether option because it has a wireless chip. The Tab does not have such a chip.
Most android Wi-Fi hotspots will shut off the Wi-Fi radio and provide internet through your wireless carrier. It would be unusual (useless?) for a phone to share the Wi-Fi signal it's using.
