Is it possible?
dd-wrt allows you to create these. I was wondering if it is possible and if so can you do it where your running the hotspot app for other users and connecting to another wifi access point which is your phones default route. the other users are routed through the phone data.
For example I'm at work and visting person asks "can I get internet access" and you say "corp policy is not to allow you but you can jump on a hotspot" and you enable your hotspot for him through your phone but your phone is connected to corpwlan1. your default route is out to cropwlan1 for your phone but the visitors default route is out your phone data connection via hotspot from cell provider.
all this is done on the phone. phone only no other hardware. (unless you can plug a usb wifi adapter into the mirco sd port of the phone with an otg adapter)

So I have a Motorola Atrix unlocked running Alien-4 ROM.
What I'm trying to do:
Tether my phone via USB to my Wireless Firewall (A ZyWall USG-20).
My firewall supports multiple WAN interfaces, specifically 2. One of them is on the WAN port where my cable modem feeds my internet connection to the firewall. The other is via a USB interface that supports Cellular internet connectivity.
Further it supports load balancing.
SO my desire is to have my cable modem feed into the WAN interface with the Atrix connected over USB tethering to the USB interface so I can configure load balancing and utilize my phone and cable modem for my internet connection.
My problem is that the ZyWall does not recognize my phone as a cellular USB 3G modem even when I have USB Tethering enabled. According to them my ZyWall will recognize the following dongles...
HuaWei:
E220, E270, E169, E800, E180
Sierra Wireless:
AirCard®USB 598
So now is it possible to make my Atrix look as though it were one of those dongles? Has anyone attempted something like this before?
I'm certain that others have attempted something like this for one reason or another, perhaps not with load balancing but using USB Tethering to connect the phone to their router (even though the phone can be a WiFi hotspot) and was just curious if anyone knows of a way to make the router see the phone over USB. Perhaps an app that will change what the phone 'appears' to be to external devices?
Thanks for any assistance
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 want to host an INFRASTRUCTURE (not AD-HOC), otherwise known as a SoftAP (Access point) on wifi. This is possible with many applications, but they all want to use a mobile data connection. Is there any application that allows you to host a SoftAP WITHOUT a 2G/3G/4G connection? This is just for playing over WIFI between a samsung galaxy s3 and an older android 2.1 tablet. These cannot see AdHoc networks.
Anyways, I'm interested in any application that allows hosting of an infrastructure WiFi network without tethering to just host a wireless lan point.
Bump
I am also very interested in a solution/app like this.
A photo app (MoPhotos) will work with my EyeFi WiFi card to transfer photos from the card in my camera to my computer/Android device via Wifi.
Currently, the card has to go through the home router as that what it looks for to give it a IP Address and network to connect to the computer/Android.
If there is a way for the Android device to be a Wifi HotSpot without the mobile tethering, I can configure the card to talk directly to the Android, which would be *very* helpful when out and about.
I have a question about my M9.
I rebuilt my desktop last night and could not find any working wireless dongles in my house. So I was left to download my phone drivers, via my phone, and install them into my desktop so it recognised my phone. After this I enabled USB Tethering to go onto my internet.
The problem I noticed is that the phone was using my mobile data, rather than my Wi-Fi connection, despite being connected to Wi-Fi and enabled.
Is there any way to turn my mobile into a USB wireless dongle and stream it into my Desktop? Seems like smart phones ain't smart enough to just push the best "internet" connection, into my Desktop lmao! I'm a bit of noob when it comes to software coding so I understand it might be a pure limitation on the device which restricts it.
So I live in Scotland with Three mobile phone service, they have an all you can eat data plan which I currently use. Occasionally, when I travel to see family I need to have the ability to tether my phone as their rural broadband speed is only about 0.5mbps.
I've used PDAnet+ to tether, which masks when I go over my tether limit (8gb) but I always need to bring my latptop. I'd like to be able to connect my phone via USB to a travel router which allows USB tethering to share the connection but it still only allows me a tether limit of 8gb.
Will routing the phone and installing a rooting software allow me to mask my tethering via USB + Router or is this method only for phones where tethering menu option in settings has been disabled by the service provider?
