how to use android as wifi repeater? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently my friend came across a device named Hisense E76 snapdragon 430 Android 6 which has the feature to repeat WiFi signal while connected to a WiFi network means the device can connect to a WiFi and also can tether or hotspot that signal like a laptop
So how can we also get that feature in any android or iOS phones if anyone can suggest or help about this it will be helpful or any app which can enable this feature for any phone.
Here are many hardworking developers if someone can help me out it will be helpful because I have a old phone lying around me I want to use it as a WiFi repeater for my own home's WiFi so if any one can help me it will be great full!!!

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

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?

[Q] Bluetooth Internet sharing as a client not working.

Hi,
I've notice that when installing cyanogenmod 9, the tablet see itself as a phone and not a tablet. Even the most recent also include the cellphone signal icon as no service even on a wifi only tablet.
The reason why I raise this up is that it cause some problem in how internet sharing is managed.
I'm trying to use my cell phone internet on my tablet via bluetooth. When trying to connect via bluetooth my cell phone and my tablet so I can share my Cell phone internet on my tablet, they both only show the option to share internet...
Internet sharing via bluetooth is really amazing on battery life of both device ! I can last days on standby with just basic email notification...
Anyone have a solution to this ?
Thanks

I can confirm that this issue is present on the stock ICS rom (XXLQ8).
I can pair my tablet and phone, however, I cannot tether to the phone via bluetooth.

Yes it is possible to use android phone as wifi repeater

I m having problems with my wifi Signal connection at home.. so i searched lots of blogs and sites, that is it possible to use android phone as wifi repeater, the answer is no..
SO today, a strange thing happened.. :silly: :laugh:
I connected my MICROMAX A25 to wifi (main router network)...
after connecting to wifi, i turn on the portable hotspot and the wifi does not turn off (whether in other android phones wifi automitically turns off when the portable hotsport is on) my phone starts sharing my main wifi network (DATA CONNECTION IS OFF at that time)
My problem is solved and saved some bucks, while i m gng to buy a Repeater tomorrow..
But sadly this process is not working on other phones, but this process can be used on all by little bit tweaking or hacking...
Plz developers made it possible for other phones also.
For A VIDEO U can search my channel on YOUTUBE- gorkijatt
There's an app
I use fqrouter2. its available at the ply store. Works like magic.:good:
Also can use Android phone as 5G Receiver
So I use a HP laptop with a weak, pathetic 2.4GHz Ralink card. I also read about the TONS of problems people have getting around HP's BIOS whitelist - meaning if its not HP approved, you can't do a hardware upgrade yourself, or have to buy the HP (pricier) alternative. Or have to hack the BIOS.
Today out of necessity I just used my Nexus 5 to connect to a 5GHz network, then USB-tethered it to my HP. It worked like a charm! The laptop surfs. Oh yea.

Try Netshare No Root from the Play Store. It works great.

How to share phone internet connection with tablet NO ROOT

Well I found an app that will allow you to share your phone's internet connection with your tablet via bluetooth. It doesn't require root either. And it isn't as slow as you may think it is than a wifi hotspot, but it mainly depends on if you have 3g or 4g and your coverage area and bluetooth version too. I tested it with 3g on android 4.1.2 (phone) and 4.4.2 (tablet) and it works fine. I found it as an alternative since android doesn't allow devices to connect to ad-hoc networks on stock android, therefore making you root and find a kernel that supports connecting to ad-hoc networks, and also if your phone doesn't have hotspot already enabled like mines. The con to this is that it doesn't allow you to use other apps to connect to the internet, but it has a few apps inside itself that uses the internet, like a browser and it allows you to share media between devices. The cool thing about it is that you can share the screen on your phone to your tablet or vice versa and view it there and browse around. I tried youtube, and it doesn't really work, but I guess its good if you want to lookup something on a bigger screen. The name of it is Screen Share (Search for it the play store) and there are two versions, one for your phone and one for your tablet. And all you do is go through the setup wizard on both devices and you're all set up! :good:

Add WiFi to Android 6.0 Build ?

Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone can take a look at a keypad (tablet) that runs on Android 6.0. It has no WiFi, just works over POE w\Injector. Wondering if we can WiFi to this Androind build. You can PM me for details.
thanks
Bump.. Anyone interested? The issue is since the tablet is hardwared the apps need WiFi to connect. Not sure why the apps need WiFi, since the tablet is already online, can browse internet, etc. IE; If I launch the Sonos App, it ask me to enable WiFi. It wont connect using the hardware POE connection.
Here is the build info to this device.

@sweethip
PoE is Ethernet and not Wireless ( Wi-Fi ): Your tablet does't support Wi-Fi connection because it hasn't an inbuilt Wi-Fi antenna .
@jwoegerbauer
Thanks for the response.. Yes it does have it built in.. it's just disabled or removed from the latest build.
I am asking to see if someone can take a look and see if they can re-enable it since I am not familiar with android devolpment.
Is that a limit on android apps not working over Ethernet ? Don't get why the apps won't work even though it's connected online.
