Hi guys,
When I was connecting my phone to my WiFi network and to the internet at the same time I recognized my phone connects both instead of WiFi only and uses my mobile connection as a backup in the case WiFi fails.
But I want both connections to be used at the same time to speed up things like big downloads. Is there a way to do some load balancing that works like the one on most enterprise routers?

Hi guys, so here's the deal : Just got a brand new Optimus One and the Wifi dosen't really work. It took me ages to get it to detect my home network ( Realtek RTL8187, used as a hotspot via win7's wireless miniport adapter - so basically virtual hotspot) Once I managed to get a connection the device would either be stuck at "obtaining ip adress from..." or would simply disconnect and reconnect in a quick burst. I finally managed to get it to connect by manually assigning the internet sharing permissions for the virtual miniport, but the speed is abysmal! We're talking to the order of bytes/s, measured both by attempting a small download from the phone and by reading the in/out data on the pc connection info. Upon some further poking around, a few wifi adapter and phone restarts later, I notice that when I connect to my hotspot the phone's wifi manager reports a normal speed of 54mb/s, but when I actually try to use the connection (say, the youtube app) it works fine for a second or two (it usually loads a bit of a vid, or half of a big webpage) and then drops down to the aforementioned speed and the phone's wifi manager indicated that the connection is 2mb/s
Also, I went out before setting up my home network to a mall and tried to connect to one of the free hotspots available. On some, it would connect straight away, but be very slow (signal wasn't great) and on one (max signal) it would disconnect/reconnect in very short bursts (10-15 times a minute) and it would eventually establish the connection. Then the same speed issue as above: works fine for a few seconds, drops down to unusable. Didn't think about checking the connection speed there, simply thought the public network was overused. In hindsight, the problems were similar to the ones experienced at home
A few side notes: The 3g speed is fine, consistent and problem-free
I have tried changing my home wifi's frequency to a number of settings (there are quite a few other wifi's around, I know it could cause issues if they overlap)
My wifi connection was actually not detected by a friend's laptop wifi, but we could connect our computers just fine via ad-hoc (which from what I've heard is a no-go with android at the moment - and the phone does not see ad-hoc)
The phone is brand new, only installed a handfull of apps on it, didn't change any relevant settings (I think)
Set wifi sleep policy to "never"
My pc wireless adapter worked just fine in the past, used it for a few months as the main internet connection, and even with half-signal it would achieve good speed. I also moved the antenna away from the PC itself to avoid interference
I set my PC to use only 802.11b since I've read around that some phones prefer this to 802.11b/g
That's about all I can think of right now. (oh, and It's my first android, so I don't know my way around the OS that great yet)
I appreciate any advice you can give me. Basically I'm trying to find out if it's an issue with my Wifi adapter, it's settings, the phone's settings, or if the phone itself might be broken, so I can send it back to warranty.
Thanks in advance.
Try switching from b to g.
it was initially on b/g
I have two laptops and one LAN connection. Say I connect the LAN to laptop-1. Then I use Mhotspot software to turn that laptop into a virtual wifi hotspot and connect laptop-2 to that hotspot. This way I have internet on both laptops without any additional router. I'm using this method for 7/8 months now.
The problems starts when I connect my HTC Titan to that hotspot. I can't access internet on Titan or Laptop-2, even though they're connected. As soon as I disable wifi on my Titan, internet on laptop-2 starts to work again. But it doesn't work the otherway, means if I disable wifi on laptop-2, Titan still doesn't work. Wifi signal from Titan somehow stalls the network. I'm almost certain because I have an android phone too (Galaxy S). I can connect the galaxy and laptop-2 at the same time and both works flawlessly. But whenever I start Titan, the virtual network stalls. Galaxy shows its connected but can't browse, Laptop-2 shows its connected but can't browse, Titan shows its connected but can't browse. Is it something to do with windows phone? Or I'm doing something wrong.
Note, the Titan is new but the Galaxy is old and the galaxy never created this problem. I tried to connect the Titan alone to the network, but obviously it also didn't work.
Thanks for any help. I don't want to buy a new router just for Titan :crying: :crying:
Update
I have somewhat narrowed down the problem. The networks actually stalls soon after I open the the marketplace or resume any app download. If I browse through mobile IE or use the facebook/email app it seems to work fine. But after opening Marketplace, the network stalls within minutes.
And another clarification, I do not use any sim with my phone yet. I'm still not sure I want to use Windows phone as my primary device yet. So 2G/3G + Wifi issues, pointed in other threads is not an issue here. I don't have sim, so no chance of cellular data to conflict with wifi. I would really appreciate some help here!
Hi all,
I know the thread's title may sound ridiculous, but it's really not.
I'm looking for a way to share my mobile wifi connection (I'm currently using the latest HTC one device) via wifi.
Meaning, I'm connected to a wifi network from my Android device, and I want to share this connection with other laptop/pad/mobile devices via wifi.
So my device acts both as wifi client to a hot-spot infra, and also like a hotspot infra for other devices.
In the past, I did it successfully using my iphone and MyWi app.
I've spent quite some time goggling for a solution, but non of the threads/articles I've read really address this problem, as most of them refer to sharing the mobile data connection rather than the wifi connection.
this is the closest thread I've found (from 2010) and it refers to wifi sharing via USB and not wifi.

the reason I'm looking for such a way is that I have a iPass certificate on my mobile, which enables me to connect freely to iPass wifi hotspots around the world (popular at airports for example) and I want to use this connection with my laptop or my friends mobile devices.
can anyone shed some light on this subject?
Hi I am using a WIFi VDSL router and 1 range extender setup in my apartment.
The problem is:
all my Android devices (all on JB 4.1+) keep on switching from router to RE all the time and practically you cannot use internet on them (especially streaming stuff like YouTube etc.). They just can't stick to one device even in a room where router or RE has full coverage and other signal is very week.
Windows devices do not seem to be affected by this problem that much.
I tried using "best WiFi" app but it did no good, my semi educated guess is: it's problem with protocol implementation on Android?
But can anything be done about it? Any of you had same problems and resolved them?
Hi,
I have a wireless router that allows me to plug in a Hard drive / SD Card etc. It can be a bridge to another network or an Access Point etc but can also just be a LAN without an internet connection allowing access to the connected devices.
This works perfectly on my Nexus tablet / PC etc, however, on my Mate 20 Pro, the connection is unstable to the point of not being able to use it. I get a notification saying the WiFi connection doesn't have an internet connection I press connect anyway and from there it keeps dropping and reconnecting the connection.
If I plug the router into a network point and give it an internet connection it works perfectly on the Mate 20 and any other devices.
I think this is some clever connection manager thing Huawei is doing to try to connect to the internet but can't find a way to stop it. I am going travelling and wanted to only take the router and my phone however it is looking like I will need to take my tablet too to use it for what I need.
I've searched and searched the internet and here for clues but nothing so I am hoping someone has an idea.
Thanks
Andrew
