Similar to Super Download which looks like a download manager that can use Wifi and 4G to speed up your download. if something like that can be done for everything on the phone IE play store and web etc... it would be pretty cool. Does it exist?

Broadband bonding in appliance form factor
A commercial version of this concept, i.e. broadband bonding exists in an appliance form factor. Seems like they also have a software-only version of broadband bonding called "Truffle V".

I want to say bye, bye to TW internet, but don't know the best way to make My Razr 4G LTE internet to all PC's,Ps3 and my Xbox 360.
I put it here becouse the Razr forms are small vs this one and Is more about LTE any way.
Thanks
Not really
It's not really the solution you wanted, but assuming you are not trying to tether the world to your cell phone (which should then double nicely as a heater), why not just get a mobile hotspot and be done with it.
I hate my TWC wires (2 cables spanning 2 neighbors yards) and have pulled twice the speed on my Rezound than I am getting from TWC (although not at home, regrettably). I say this because I understand your frustration first hand; I just disagree with your proposed resolution.
looked into this a bit, my conclusion was that:
1) unless you have a fairly small network (ie just yourself), you're going to need to go the route of the mobile hotspot.
&
2) the mobile hotspot hardware currently available isn't reliable enough to trust as a dedicated home internet solution.
Don't be fooled I use mine for everything and I pay for unlimited mobile hotspot. Just can't use everything at onces.

I wouldnt recommend using your phone or any wireless solution for gaming, the ping is too high.

I get only maybe 20-30ms higher on my phone tether vs my FiOS.
If you are dead set on doing this, I would use your PC/Laptop as a network bridge. You should be able to connect the LAN cable to your PC and then into where your modem would plug into your router. But, you would have to setup your router first, or connect it via USB to setup since you wouldn't be able to use the provider software or the IP to connect in through that port. Just an idea, but like others said, reliability could probably be zero.
Let me tell you the "reliability" of my TW cable internet right now: It gos form 7-10DL to 3 and then even to under 1, 2-4 times A DAY. It go's out at times too, so I can't see it geting more bad then that.
P.S I am "dead set" on having home internet that has good up time and able to play 1080p video if needed.
Time Warner doesn't offer a package higher than 10mbps? Why not just get Fios or something? Have you even called TW? I had an issue like this a few years back (With a provider in GA I can't remember the name) where I wasn't getting the 25mbps I was paying for. They came out and tested my modem and it was dying. They replaced it, and it worked from then on out. It was even a modem I paid for myself, they gave me a new one and took the old one free of charge.
Koush posted that Tether is in the Android Market now.
I pay for 15DL and 1UL, But am only geting 6-10DL and .5UL. I think it's BS, but I can't poof that to them. I Have used all kinds of speed test and they all never hit more than 11-12DL and 1UL. LTE has been about the same on DL at home after the outges and DEC the 25th. ( It was geting 10-15DL and now its 4-10DL and 5-6UL.)
Now I am a bit mad at the big red, becuase on AT&T my speeds have been going up and Up and up. (I think AT&T Is about toput up LTE here soon)
LTE is extremelt cool, and will only get better. But as of right now, I wouldn't call it reliable enough to handle an entire house full of bandwidth-hungry devices.
My At&T U-Verse internet advertises up to 25mBps. This, to the average user, probably sounds like more than one would ever need. But what they don't tell you is that each TV (when its box is on) takes up to 6mBps of that bandwidth all by itself. So if you've got 2 HDTVs running in the house, and somebody gaming online, suddenly that internet speed ain't lookin' all that cutting-edge.
According to what I've gleaned from the small amount of research I've done, you need a solid 10mBps to stream 1080p HD content without bottlenecking. The top AT&T U-verse package I have can do it all day long, while also handling whatever else may be using bandwidth. I would worry about any plan below the top one though. Maybe if you only have one HDTV connection in the house.
I tried tethering off my phone when temp-root v2 came out, and I was impressed with the results. But I was also realistic about it. My tether speed tests came in at roughly 6-7mBps downloaded. Not bad in a pinch, but certainly nowhere near good enough to power a whole house. And certainly not good enough to stream HD.
I don't think the idea of a phone providing internet for the home far off, but we just aren't there yet. I'm thinking in 5-10 years.
If you want to use your phone as your home internet service, pm me. I've been using mine for my home for the last 4 years, cuz I don't have dsl. It's awesome, and I can help you get it up and running. I've averaged 40-50gb per month for the past 3 years. PM me.

I used 30Gb and I saw my speed in my home go down, but at work it would be fast as ever with 5 bars. My billing just started to day and my DL is now in the 20+ vs 5-7 DL before. I think I got my speeds lowered for useing 30gb. Any way TW sucks even more with that.
Seems to me that Splashtop might be a big drain on data plan. Our only high speed internet is a Verizon 4g Mifi. We had one with 10g data plan which we just got a few months ago. Last month we went through 90% of that in like10 days. We figured someone had hacked into our network, because our history on our old sprint air card only showed an average of like 8g/month. A few days ago we decided to make some other changes, dropped the hot spot on husbands Droid and bought a second Mifi with 10g/month plan. But we just went thought over 3g on that Mifi in just a few days. The only thing I can think of is that I was using Splashtop Remote to run my Mac from the couch... we were not streaming any video or downloading big system updates or anything along those lines that might account for the big drain....
What did you expect. Just about any remote desktop app is going to use up bandwidth.
To clarify what the guy above said.
Splashtop is streaming essentially a 720p video from your computer to your tablet (along with keyboard/mouse input and audio). If you are doing that over your 3g/4g thats a lot of data. Typical compressed 720p video is 300 to 500 mb per half hour. So for every hour you use splashtop you are going to use probably between .5gb and a 1gb depending on how well they compress it. At least in the HD versions. If you are using a standard edition splashtop at a low framerate (if you can even set that, i don't remember) then you could save a lot of data. Splashtop is really meant to be used on wifi networks rather than over the internet, but they give you the option to do internet because some people have great uncapped internet.
Hope this helps clear this up.
Thanks for the info jacobrv.. I might be missing something here. Sorry to be so clueless about this. But, I am doing this at home, connected to our router. The router gets the internet service from the Mifi...(ACtually, what I have is one router connected to the Mifi, and a second router downstairs connected to the Ethernet and setup as an access point.)_ In theory should Spashtop not be using any Bandwidth and basically just be using the LAN network...
Well, if both devices (computer and tablet) are on the local network then it "should" use that and not go out to the internet. One thing I would try is to remove your Google account from splashtop, if you put it in, and see if they still find each other. They use your Google account to match up your devices over the internet, so without it, it should only look at the local network. If that doesn't help, or if you never put in your Google info in the first place, then I don't know.
That's pretty much all I've got. I mean, another thing to try would be to turn off all internet devices (mifi's/modems/etc) and try then. If they can no longer see each other, then obviously they were using the internet. But then the question becomes, why can't they see each other on the local network?
Hi everyone
This may sound like an odd question but we need to block our daughter from accessing the Internet and playing games when she should be doing her schoolwork. We’ve tried blocking UPNP to stop her gaming but it hasn’t worked, and as she does need occasional Internet access totally blocking her (which I can easily do from our BT Homehub 2) isn’t really an option and doesn’t always work.
The problem with completely blocking her is that there’s an open unsecured wifi network nearby which she’s apparently hooking up to if we disconnect her from ours.
So, without taking her laptop off her (which she does actually need) is there any way we can block her from accessing the other network? If I knew who’s it was I’d advise them that it’s unsecured and ask them to fix it, but I don’t.
A colleague in work suggested setting up a wifi hotspot on an Android phone and giving it the same name as the other network (or even as ours), and as the signal from the phone would be stronger, her laptop would probably logon to the Android hotspot instead. As mobile data’s generally slower than wifi it may also be too slow for her gaming. I can’t try this as I don’t have an Android phone, but if it was likely to work I’d buy one - Carphone Warehouse have an Alcatel Android phone for about £30 which can be used as a hotspot.
Does anyone know if there’s any way of setting up a hotspot without actually having a connection to the Internet, via Android or otherwise?
It’s becoming a game of minds now between us and our daughter, and we sort of need to let her know we’re the parents, but without coming down too hard or her just yet.
Thanks.

I was wondering if there is an Android ROM that only does Hotspot. I see a bunch of LTE devices that are lying around with people that aren't used widely. Instead I would like to install a modded version of Android where all of the services (like calling texting, etc) are removed and it only runs as a networking device. The UI would basically be pretty basic and have all the hotspot settings and information on screen. There are a lot of devices that support LTE but aren't very good performing devices for general use with limited RAM etc. It would be a good idea to reuse these as cheap LTE hotspots since these are more reliable than most cheap hotspots that are sold around (especially in countries like India and China). Also these hotspots are remotely manageable by carriers so that is a privacy concern to. Installing VPN profiles onto hotspot would be an option since it would basically run Android. I will look more into this a prepare a basic version for something in the coming weeks hopefully for a widely popular device. I hope this idea is popular.
Hi,
I'm hoping that someone can help me with this issue, as far as my wifi goes, I'm on at&t fiber 1000 connection speed. I would think that I should have enough bandwidth available to be able to listen to a online radio station without any buffering occurring. When I'm using my red pocket 4 G LTE mobile connection that connects to at&t there's not any buffering at all, I do have a private dns server setup to block ad's, the one that I use is this address (dns.adguard.com). It might be something rather small that I'm overlooking but so far I can't seem to determine what it might be. I only have a 8 gb data allowance per month, so that's why I can't use my mobile data connection all of the time. Of course my phone is a LG V30 phone that's running android version 9.0, any suggestions will be appreciated !

Even though your AT&T is 1 Gbps speed, that's your line in/ethernet cable speed. Have you run speed tests to see what your Wi-Fi speed is? It will vary, depending on distance from your Wi-Fi router.
Yes, it should probably be fast enough, but I'm still curious what your average Wi-Fi speed is, when testing from your phone.
Your DNS ad server blocking is a nice detail to help trouble shoot. But you're probably blocking the same ads on Red Pocket. Therefore it's something that's not playing nice with AT&T network. Just for experimentation, while on Wi-Fi TEMPORARILY turn off your AdGuard or whatever app you are using. You can temporarily disable it. See if the buffering still happens then?
Hi,
Thanks so much for your reply, I'll try that and see if it makes any difference. The reason I'm using the private dns address is so I don't have to use software for blocking ad's. Today I've been checking out unlimited data plans for my phone. I'm currently using red pocket and I pay for 8 gb of data per month. Happy Thanksgiving ! Stay Safe

Sure, I understand why you're using it. I use Ad Guard (paid, lifetime license) on two phones and Blokada (free) on 5 others, used by family/friends. Both allow choice of servers that will block ads.
We just need to see if something is conflicting on your home AT&T internet with Adguard servers. That may not be the case. But if so, there's workarounds we can try.
(For instance I know some websites have issues with Cloudflare DNS servers.)
Hi ChazzMatt,
Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you & yours have a wonderful day ! I've turned of the private adguard dns setting in my wifi settings on my phone, of course by doing so now I'm seeing more ad's once again. As I remember I did that a couple of day's ago, the first day when I was streaming some internet radio station's I didn't seem to have many buffering issues as I recall. Then yesterday while listening to some of the same stations with are provided by different sites I did have some buffering issues but not quite as bad as before. Also, I've went into the at&t gateway ( Pace 5268AC ) webpage & double checked the settings in there. Quite some time ago I did in fact change some of the settings that I was informed to do in another great forum where people who actually work for the companies can give users good advice ( http://www.dslreports.com ). For your reference, here are some of the settings I changed: (2.4 GHz Wifi Radio Confg. Heading), Channel Bandwidth from 20 MHz to 40 MHz, Transmit Power To Maximum 100, (5 GHz Wifi Radio Config. Heading), Current Wifi Channel To A Lower # Via Rescan 56, Transmit Power To Maximum 100. The main that I upgraded to the Fiber 1000 speed was to obtain additional bandwidth for the # of devices on the network. As I'm SURELY not an expert in broadband gateways, that's why I followed the suggestions that were provided to me. Also, where I stream the internet radio stations is located approx. 50 ft from the gateway. Maybe it has something to do with the wifi modem that's installed in my phone when it was manufactured. Thanks again for your help, Please Stay Safe !!
