Hello forum,
....... is anybody able to put me onto a free app which "repeats outwards" the wi fi signal bieng recieved by a handheld?............thus reflecting forward the wi fi signal so that other devices can connect to it as a hotspot......
....... i tried many free apps off the play store , where only ONE actually worked ........but it throttled down web speeds from 35 megabit to 200 kilobytes........useless really
...........in the past, i have had several apps work perfectly on droid 8.1.......now, non of them work on droid 11
........" Netshare+ " .....free app.........
many THX
C
ps, ......... this is wi fi tethering........
" repeater."...........nothing to do with usb

@vinceASPECT: There are a couple obstacles you're faced with...
1. Your provider may sell tethering as a service and if so, most of them go out of their way to make it difficult to bypass paying for this service when you want to share your 3G/4G/5G connection with a blue-tooth or wifi connected device.
2. Your device/phone/tablet, especially those whom are branded (when it boots it shows the service provider's logo/splash screen/etc.) may be programmed to avoid third party tethering.
All of a sudden, after a system update, my app used for usb/wifi/bt tethering stopped working...
This is what I usually hear.
Back in the day there was an app called Fox-Fi which was as close as I could find to do just what you're after -- without having to root the phone. Whether it still exists and/or operates on newer Android releases is unknown to me. $oogle on the other hand has been in the pockets of the service providers and they tend to clean out apps that cross certain lines... so if you find something that works well today... and it becomes popular... praise it while it lasts - but expect it not to.
Good luck!

Hello,
Thanks for replying.......
......well......the OP mentioned a free app which works....
_
_
.....upon Trying that free app again.....it seems to take a while to ramp up to any usable speed...?.
_
_
.....then full video and web surfing fully works......proper as i desire...
_
_
.......i have not experienced apps....."warming up" in this manner....?....it's a brand new handset and a very healthy fast wi fi signal......the win machine wanting tethering is fine
hmmm
it's fullly working here.......though as
i desire......... .....but it's certainly
no where near the full speed of the wi fi DSL supply......no where near
....also, the handheld will occasionally throw out the LINK connection too.........it's suppossedly a fully functioning app....?....so
the speed issues ?........who even knows.....?
thx
C
yes......fox fi........true....and many other
apps.........
Thanks for you sensible comments.....and yes , your experiences are fact .....and often these free apps are missleading and locked and not free.....
The device is seemingly doing the job i need it to............"repeating OUT" the wi fi it's getting incoming...........so other devices see that "OUT point" as a connection for web........and connect.
The reason for ALL OF THE ABOVE ........is...... sometimes the windows machine will just not get internet from the connected telco WI FI ........useless (the telco is at fault)
.......so i use a droid to win.....wi
fi repeater arrangement.....

sir.......i could tell you things that will blow your mind about telcos........Literally
The global corruption and fraud is ....unprecidented......
.....it continues for extreme amounts and durations until they are finally caught.....
There is currently a class action law suit just launched in the UK for......
......3 billion STERLING...
........against all UK mobile telco suppliers
......upon winning the case it May go international.........252 countries and be 100's of billions of dollars.......
thx,
C.
the free app is "TetherFI"

Hello forum,
......so sorry to members, but the above Post is my bad.........i have since EXPLICITLY & EXACTLY followed the instructions from the free APP......

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

......the Remainder of the post Stands .........
( and yes, it's with a B ....for billions )
thx

Hello forum,
......the topic concludes for the free app mentioned
Users need to cycle through the IP addresses it offers.... Until getting
A full speed signal ...... The issued ip's DO all function , but not at full speed internet passthrough
... Conclude .... It,s some sort of "app snag".... a devs marketting to make some gain on apps $
Many Thx

..... It's all simply about trying to keep TECH functionally useful.here...for web.....
We are under some large
Changes happening in technology.Here.....
4g. Handsets will be good to go and compatable ,......
The safe guard here is full speed WEB through a...4g data... handset...
. The handset service
has plenty of 4g web data allowance....
Thankfully, IT IS A long term SAFE GUARD for getting WEB..... here
Many thanks
