I have a Moto G and I need solution for its Wi-Fi tethering (Wi-Fi Hotspot).
Earlier I used HTC devices, in what there was option to know how many user are connected to hotspot and an option to block MAC address as well.
But in Moto G there is no such option to do above mentioned things.
I would like to know if there is any app or any other way to achieve this on non-root Moto G.
I want to know how many users are connected to Hotspot and whenever a new user connects to hotspot I should be able to allow or block that device based on MAC address.

What's wrong with just using a password?

But if someone still manages to guess the password I should be able to control access based on MAC address.
Plus I want to know how many hosts are connected at any given time.

I'm new to this site so I hope I'm posting in the right area. I was enjoying using my non-rooted G Tablet at work but the recently switched to a new network and my G Tablet can't even SEE it. I've just now wandered around the whole building to no avail. I know it is available and working because the students near me are using their laptops, smart phones, and tablets--and their only option for wi-fi is the school's one network.
They don't have an Android guide available, but they do have information for how to get connected using Windows devices:
Enter the SSID
Change Network authentication to: WPA2
Change Data Encryption to: AES
Click on Authentication Tab
Change EAP type to: Protected EAP
Uncheck Authenticate as computer when computer information is available
Select Authentication Method: Secured Password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)
Uncheck automatically use my windows Logon name and password.
Now, obviously most of these things are not options on the G Tablet (at least not where I know to find them) and I don't know if they are helpful to solving this but I thought I'd include the info. I did try manually adding a new Wi Fi network. I wrote in the SSID, and chose "WPA/WPA2 PSK" option. But then it asked for a password which is not necessary in the guides. I will eventually log on using my work user name and password, but I can't get to that screen (and just out of frustration I did try entering my work password just to see if anything happened--it didn't).
I realize you can't know every setting my work place uses but I hope that's enough to figure out what's wrong. Is there something the G Tablet just doesn't support with the new network? If I rooted, could that help? I feel like the problem has to be my G Tablet since everyone else has working internet. I mainly bought the G Tablet to use here at work for the sites they've blocked. I'll survive without it but I'd really like to get some use out of my device!
Wow, not one helpful comment? Well IT finally got back to me and the woman thinks that my tablet doesn't support WPA2-Enterprise. Is this something I could change with rooting? And if so, which ROM or whatever should I use?
802.1x EAP

Not sure if these show up on Froyo roms but I'm on GTab Comb v3.3 (Honeycomb).
Try this:
Go to WIFI settings, select add WIFI Network, type in the SSID, for Security select 802.1x EAP, for EAP method select PEAP,for Phase 2 select MSCHAPv2.

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 am having an issue at office. The wifi router seems to be blocking all Android Devices (i.e administrator has intentionally done it) except for PC & Notebook. For example we have a access point with the name of "ROLEX", if i connect to this access point using my android device then it never works but if i try with my notebook then it connects without any issue. We are facing this issue with almost all android devices.
So is it a way to fool the wifi router that my android device is actually a PC and allows me to connect.

Are you sure the router is specifically blocking android devices? Have you tried connecting an iPhone or just about any other Wifi capable device that's from outside of the office and haven't notified the IT department of? It feels more likely that the IT dept. is simply doing mac address restrictions where only devices with specific mac addressed are allowed to connect to the network.There also could be an inherent compatibility issues between the phones and the router, that there is no actual blocking going on at all.

I did my homework before positing this. Its blocking all the portable devices like Iphone & Android. I also thought it might be a MAC address restrictions but i did spoofed my MAC address of my Android device but still it doesn't seems to be working. I wonder how that Wifi Router is blocking all the portable devices

the only thing I can think of is to find out what make and model router they're using and read the instruction manual/google questions like "blocking mobile devices from network MXHA-281" (MXHA-281 being the model number for example).
Are you manually adding in the SSIDs or are the devices finding the router on their own? If they're finding it on their own and can't connect, not sure what to tell you except to find out if that model router supports such features.
I had a razr maxx and I could connect to wifi at work with the password. Then I could not get on any longer. All it would say is obtaining ip address and never obtain it. Now I upgraded to a note 3 from verizon and was able to access work wifi again but only for about a month then it seems like im blocked again. They have to be doing this from the wifi mac address right?

The guys that run tech support at your work would be able to answer this much better than we could. A lot of it depends on what kind of encryption they use and what protocols they have set up for permission and all that.

if i take my kindle fire hd to work i can connect to the wifi. keep in mind all 3 devices i have been connecting to with the same password. I asked a coworker who works in sales and brings his personal tablet with him and he said he had to provide the address so they wouldnt block him. its either the ip address or mac address

That should be the Mac address then. It's typically pretty easy to see what device is connected in the router settings page and usually displayed by Mac.
Perhaps something of this sort might work if that is the case?

Hi everyone, I got very desperate about this one..
Whenever I turn on Portable Hotspot (WiFi) on my Android 5.1.1, there's always other device that connected to my Hostspot, I managed to get that thief device using Fing..
I change the Hotspot password (I always use very strong password) but after some hours that device is connected again..
How can I restrict number of connected devices or only allowing specific MAC Adrress in Android Lollipop 5.1.1..? It's very annoying that Lollipop doesn't have option for this things.. Is there any 3rd party apps or some way to ban/allow certain MAC addresses..?
And why is that so easy hack a WiFi security WPA2PSK..?
Thanks,
Huh, WPA2 getting cracked that easily?
That is distressing, any insight as to what sort of device it is? I would lock everything down if I had a hacker that obsessed with my hotspot heh.

His device is Samsung (Young 2 if I not mistaken).. Well, that's what I want to ask here, how to lock down "everything"..? Do I really need to change the password everyday..? If only I can restrict who can connect to my Hotspot by MAC address, it will be enough..
Up..
No one know any apps or anything to manage connected devices on Hostspot..?
