Hello everyone, i am having a doubt regarding sharing of LAN connection. my college lab has got a high speed internet connection and often i do connect my laptop to access the internet through the LAN cable. I am just wondering if i can create a wi-fi hotspot in my lapy and use my grand quattro to use this hotspot. I tried some software like virtual router, connectify etc..but unfortunately none of them worked for me. by using these two software i was able to create the hotspot and even grand quattro was connected to the hotspot and wi-fi icon in the status bar was also blinking...but could not access the net..may be i was messing up with some settings:...any idea regarding this problem?:fingers-crossed: Any other method available?

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?

@ Luculuc
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?
Guys have any of you u shared your laptops internet connection to the phone? via WiFi or a USB cable? Im sure a smartphone of this generation should be able to do something like this but Im just not able to figure how.
I have an unlimited Internet connection on my PC so it would be nice if I could get the same on my mobile for browsing when home.
Please help.
Not to the phone, but from the phone.
Not sure how you would turn your laptop into a hotspot?
Set up an Ad-Hoc wireless network on your laptop.
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
Well, tried ad-hoc, it dint work. Tried connectify, that dint work either.
Then got to know about the windows program mhotspot from mhotspot.com. It has turned my laptop into a virtual wifi hotspot through which my mobile can connect to the net through.
Good for those who have a limited or slow data connection on their phone.
connectify works in my laptop
Connectify works perfectly fine for me too... What error do you get, mate?
any tutorial for conectify? noob sorry

@OP: what you're looking for is called reverse tethering. Search for it, there are lots of solutions.

Yup, you got it right. Due to slow 3G connection, it takes a long time to downloading anything at less than 5kb/s.
I know most people use Phone->PC, but I want the reverse. Transfer PC internet to Phone via USB, because I do not have a router.

It's possible but not by using USB....but using this program you can create an hot-spot and share your PC's line....

do you want to share your pc line with your phone?
Either via USB or Bluetooth, yes. I could also walk around and find a good wi-fi spot where I could download X apps at X speed, but if there is a way to do it home, even better.

so you can use this program: http://www.connectify.me/features/?refid=...
with it you can create easily a connection wich uses your LAN CABLE to connect your GS2 without bluethoot or USB!!! After you set the program in your PC go to your phone, turn on your wifi and the magic is made!!! you will find a new connection(the one you create with connectify program)!!:good:
TNX if i help you!!:laugh:

Dude. He said he doesn't have wifi on his PC. Connectify NEEDS some sort of wifi to create a hotspot.
OP, look up "reverse tether".

Perhaps your extensive technical experience can explain how a computer or network that does NOT have wifi can possibly create a hotspot while missing the requisite hardware to transmit a wifi signal.
Just use reverse tether. Simple

Hi,
I am trying to transfer files to and from my lappy using Wifi Direct, and don't know how.
I'm using a Dell XPS with Intel MyWifi direct. If I scan for Wifi direct devices from the phone, it turns up nothing.
I can share internet from my laptop to the phone no problem (using normal Wifi on the phone).
Can someone help me to set up file transfer using wifi direct? Thanks will be given.. :good:

But shouldn't it be possible without another app?
At least pairing and receiving?

Hasn't anyone used the Wifi Direct on this phone??
If tou had searched a bit b4 posting, youd would have found out, that wifi direct is not working on all wifi adapters on your pc.
that being said, samba fileshare is a good alternative, or use droobox.

Use Connectify and create a AP-Hotspot (which creates "real" Wifi network, not Ad-hoc)
It is however not compatible with some (usually cheap low-cost) Wifi adapters/cards/USB-Sticks and requires Windows 7.

hello. I am trying hard to share files using WIfi direct(galaxy note 10.1 under german JB), to an Asus Laptop (intel MyWifi dashboard installed).
I can use the Wifi as Hotspot, but not in Sharing Files.
Struggling, installing drivers, many options..still not possible. I have the same problem. recognising, but refusing to connect each other.
REmoving firewall or adding exceptions, it seems it's a problem of security controls.
IF SOMEONE could help us.
NB : sharing files from any samsung to each others works prefectly well (tab to note, or note galaxy S...)
thanks for reply.

Use connectify
use samsung link that comes with samsung kies and your phone to transfer files .. via wifi.. you can download it from samsung official website if its not there ..
wifi direct
i know wifi direct can use between android. these dont use ure home network or router (now is using this method).
means transfer files from andriod phone to other android phone.
and its preety blazing fast compared to bluetooth (eg; u can transfer hd video in very short time).
the main point is fast transfer speed.... and on the go.
i'm also curious about same technic for a laptop.
means transfer files from andriod phone to laptop, like wise. or laptop to laptop.
it said the technology also have in laptop, but i also cant find the solution.
maybe we still have to wait for anothe year or +.
:laugh:
Do you use non stock roms like asop?
If so wifi direct will not work.
Tethering is the ability to surf on your pc using the 3g of your phone
Reverse tethering is the opposite : surf on your phone using the ADSL of your PC. No Wifi or 3G connection required.
