For development purposes i need the phone to be connected to an Access point that is not connected to the internet. This works with any other device but not with Samsung devices like Note 3, it will state that my connection is "Unstable" and disconnect. I have turned auto-switching off but it does not help.

Alright, did the usual searches and have the usual answers wich don't seem to pertain to what i'm doing.
I have one static connection allowed to wifi router. I wish to use phone to share this connection with more than one device not using mobile data but the broadband connection.
Basically connect phone to broadband wifi. Have devices connect to phone to share wifi.
Again, to prevent any confusion: I do not want to share mobile connection on phone. I wish to share wifi connection with other devices from phone. ie. I have only one connection allowed to router and I wish to use phone to share that connection with PC and PS3.
Sorry for redundancy in stating this but people seem to miss the point or not read and suggest applications like Barnacle wich only share mobile internet or USB tethering wich only works for PC.
Well from what I understand Wi-Fi must be off on phone in order to create the Wi-Fi signal on the phone so this may be impossible

I know exactly what you are saying, and I am pretty sure it is impossible. I currently have wi-fi service where I have to log in, with only 1 device allowed log in at a time. When you turn on the wi-fi hotspot on your phone, it automatically turns your wi-fi off. You can only use the hotspot feature using your data connection over 3g or 4g. I have tried everything. If you are in the same situation, where you can only log one device on the internet connection, you may want to try spoofing your IP. Change the IP on the other devices to the IP on your phone. This may allow you to log the other devices in as well (so I have read). That may be your only option.
Yeah looks like Im going to connect PC and use an ethernet cable with connection sharing to get PS3 to work. Phone will have to use mobile data unless PC and PS3 arent being used.
Or phone gets wifi and USB tethered to pc and then connection shared (not sure this will work).
sharing wifi connection
I have done this using a Buffalo WLI-TX4-G54HP ethernet converter. You connect to the wireless source (WAP) then it acts like a router and allows you to plug devices into it, has four ports but you could use a switch if more are needed. Each device aquires an IP from the converter and is hidden to the WAP, looks like one device is connected. Pretty easy to setup. Check it out.
I have a 4g device connected to my inspiron laptop and the internet runs just fine, however i made my laptop a hotspot my creating an adhoc connection.
But my samsung sii doesn't connect to it and neither does it show that a wifi connection to connect exists, my friend has an iphone, and his phone connected immediately to this hotspot, so its working and not working, not sure if i need to check my phone because it does connect to other connections or i need to modify some setting in my laptop just for sii as it works for others
help
I have searched and googled and have come up with just my &#[email protected] in my hand.
My kid is trying to get his phone to connect to the LAN at his school. He has all the information right, but whenever he tries to connect, he gets a notification "trying to avoid a poor connection", then it drops the connection. I'm pretty sure it is because we can't get our android devices to connect through the proxy, so the phone drops the Wi-Fi in favor of 4g.
Is there any way to be connected to both? He needs to connect to the LAN to access information within the local intranet.

Is it possible to creat a hotspot that connects to a local network instead of the cell data? I connect several devices to tab 3 tablets in vehicles i would like to connect them to my network when they are at my facility. I would like to keep them in groups and have this work automaticly, maybe by using tasker to turn off data and switich to local network by location or time ect. (make hotspot a client on my local network)
normally the wlan connection to the wlan-router is turned off when wlan-hotspot is used in Android.
why not connecting the devices directly through wlan-router to the local network? or a wlan repeater if the signal is too weak.
Or you could connect the hot-spot to a PC via USB , which in turn is connected to the network.
AFAIK only Miracast can maintain 1 connection with the router and 1 connection with a end device concurrently. But I guess that's no helping in your case.
Dear all,
I am developing a connected object with a M2M SIM card. I have a private static IP APN so each sim card have its own static IP.
When I start the device, I am able to ping it from a remote server on the network. Everything looks OK. But after few minutes or hours, the device is not reachable anymore. It does not receive any packets from outside. But it still seems to be connected because when I type `netcfg` with ADB, connection is UP.
If I ping the server from device, it's working again, it looks like it "woke up" the 3G connection. But before the device initiate a connection it was completely unreachable.
This is really strange and it is device related because if I try same experiment with a Nexus 7, the device is always reachable.
So I guess Mediatek device must have some kind of idle mode: after few minutes/hours, the stop listening for packets from outside.
Any idea how to stop this? THANK YOU!
