Has anyone tried using the V30 as a WiFi host (hotspot) to provide internet connection (of cellular connection) to other WiFi clients, at the same time the V30 is a WiFi client to a different WiFi network not connected to internet?
I'm thinking about using my V30S as WiFi hotspot, while simultaneously using the same V30S as a client accessing a NAS on another WiFi network without internet access.
Any info appreciated.

Unfortunately no, to the best of my knowledge. Our phones only have one WiFi radio that I'm aware of (dual band is not dual radio), so only one mode at a time.

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.

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 been searching for this particular problem but I didn't find anywhere and seeking a solution here which I think is the most suitable place.
I want to tether Wi-Fi data and not the cellular data. Reason is that one can use Wi-Fi data freely from many other sources and like to use that in our laptop instead of the expensive cellular data.
I have figured out two methods, but that have their own limitations.
(i) One can use USB tether (easytether apps) to use wi-fi data. In this method the positive thing is that one can tether either of the data i.e. wi-fi data and cellular data. But the thing is that we need a cable always, once we use wifi hotspot then we only can use cellular data. In this method the disadnantage is we always need a cable and sometime it frequently gets disconnected.
(ii) Second method is using bluetooth one can tether the Wifi data. For example using Foxfi apps one can use Wi-fi data by activating Bluetooth DUN ( and there could be many more apps like Foxfi). But the disadvantage is internet is very slow even when the wifi data is high speed.
One obvious question is if I need wifi data then why do I need to tether through the phone. But there are situation when I can't connect the wifi directly due to some reason. Secondly, suppose the main wifi has got some proxy authentication but in my phone I could connect the same wifi but without the proxy authentication and if some how I tether that to laptop then I can connect internet directly without any proxy.
So I curious to know is there any way to tether the Wifi data (not the cellular data) using hotspot or any other way.
is there a way to use the wifi network just for lan and the 3g network for internet at the same time?
i'll explain my issue:
when i connect my phone to my odb2 dongle using wifi i can use the odb2 interface but i have no access to internet...
while driving i'd like to record my car activity and use internet as well.
so i need wifi on to connect to the odb2 (but no internet access)
and 3g to use internet at the same time.
i've googled it but unsuccesfully.
do you have any suggestion?
ps: my device is a note3 (unrooted)

Wondering whether Android supports multihoming, in other words, using both a Wi-Fi and LTE connection at the same time?
It seems not, that if Wi-Fi is connected then LTE is disabled.
If my Wi-Fi cannot connect to the Internet for some reason, I would like to be able to continue connecting to resources
that are local to Wi-Fi (and not accessible via Internet) and also access Internet through LTE.

Hello PRO-I users, greetings from Korea.
I've been planning to purchase a Pro-I device, and I wonder if this device has a Wi-Fi relay function, i.e. mobile hotspot with Wi-Fi signal.
The problem is this; in South Korea there are lots of carrier-based Wi-Fi spots that requires EAP-SIM or EAP-AKA authentication to connect, which makes devices without specific SIM almost impossible to connect to secure Wi-Fi connection. In select Samsung and LG(RIP) devices there is a function called Wi-Fi sharing, which establishes Hotspot connection from Wi-Fi signals(NOT from 2G, 3G, LTE or 5G) under the device's hotspot name.
Example) Samsung Galaxy Note9(N960N)
1) Connect carrier Wi-Fi(KT WIFI)
2) Set device SSID as NOTE9-WIFI
3) Turn on Wi-Fi sharing
4) Turn on Mobile Hotspot function
5) Use my PC to connect NOTE9-WIFI, and connect to the internet with KT WIFI signals
Since I use quite a lot of non-SIM devices on the go, the availability of this function would be quite crucial. I've been searching high and low and I couldn't find a single clue of this.
Owners of PRO-I device, I humbly ask you guys a favor to find if this is possible. Is it possible to turn on mobile hotspot function with Wi-Fi connection?
Hi.
Got mine yesterday ... answer is a negative, unfortunately, as soon as you turn on the wifi hotspot, you lose wifi and it switches to mobile data.
