I just bought a chromecast and I'm trying to figure out if I can get my GNexus to host the hotspot and be the chromecast remote.
In more detail:
I do not have internet from a cable/satellite company. The only internet connection I have is through my cellphone hotspot.
Chromecast will be connected to the internet through my cellphone hotspot (SSID: AndroidAP).
When my cellphone has the hotspot running it does not show up on its own network (AndroidAP).
I need the phone to show up on the network (AndroidAP) so that I can see the chromcast and use the phone as a remote.
Is this even possible?
Try Foxfi?

Honestly don't think this is possible.
It would be like trying to connect the phone to it's own Wi-Fi hotspot that it created?

I am still on a grandfathered plan and would like to keep it.
When I connect to my work network, it routes all traffic... Vpn and random Internet traffic through the vpn tunnel..
If i tether while I'm connected to my vpn, can att detect it? I would think not since it's encrypted?? Or is there something I'm missing?
I'm worried that tethering would force it to use atts gateway/ip instead of the vpn.
Does anybody know?
Thank you!

guess i'll find out...
couldn't get wifi tethering working.. anytime i enabled it 'settings' would FC (maybe because i froze tethering provision apk?
so i tried foxfi - and that wifi tether would turn on - but it would change the routing tables of my vpn.. and use normal 4g/att internet
but i have bluetooth on my laptop!
connected to vpn on phone, enabled bluetooth DUN on foxfi - and on my pc when i check my ip on third party websites (i.e nwtools.com) , it shows the IP of my VPN....
so far so good, i hope they can't see this traffic.
please search before posting new threads. there's multiple threads about this topic.
Hi, I was wondering if you can use this phone to make a WLAN network. I recently switched from iPhone to Android and am having trouble finding an app to compensate for my needs. Basically back on iPhone when I tethered, I would automatically be connected to the network I created so I could play WLAN only games (like Muffin Knight or Minecraft Mobile) with the other people connected to me. With this phone however, I can't connect to my own wifi so it doesn't work. I've tried the regular Wifi hotspot, Foxfi, and Simple Tether. Whether or not it works in providing internet connection isn't really important to me, I just want to be able to play with my friends
That sounds more like some custom ad hoc or p2p network. You trying to play games via your own teather via the wifi from the phone. So your host and others join your private network ? You can then relay internet connection to them local or is this more a network vpn tunnel?
I remember doing something like this back when I had an idevice im just making sure im understanding properly.

To clarify first and foremost, I'm looking to tether Wifi to Wifi. Not Wifi to 3G as normal (aka FoxFi and such)
On the iPhone, there is the most popular tethering app MyWi for jailbroken users. It allowed you to tether in all kinds of ways.
You see, some devices cannot connect to my school's network over WiFi. But, my iPhone could so I would tether the WiFi connect to the WiFi hotspot so that devices like my Roku box or PS3/360 could connect to my iPhone to get internet from the school.
So basically,
School -> iPhone -> PS3/360/Roku
Passthrough WiFi
I miss this on my Android, and I see that when you use FoxFi - it turns off the WiFi connect to the school AP and only tethers to 3G/4G. I don't and can't really use that for something like gaming.
Anything like MyWi on the Android at all?

Only way I have been able to get WiFi passthrough is by plugging my Note 2 into a USB port on my PC or into my router if your router supports USB through 3G/WiFi
Hi, i was trying to find out if I could be connected to WiFi with ny nexus 7 and then use a Hotspot to broadcast the WiFi I am connected to. The reason I want to do this is because my ps4 is blocked on the router so I wanted to try this to get around it. Any help is appreciated.

You can't do it this way because when you broadcast WiFi, you disconnect from any WiFi you were previously connected to.
If you have a spare router, you can connect it to 'the router' using an ethernet cable and use it as an access point.
Hey guys. Here is the situation, I have windows 10 pc without Internet access but with WiFi card, and mi5s with Lineage 15.0 and Internet access. I want to watch movies on the big screen, but when I connect my pc to phone's hotspot there is no available miracast devices. If I use 3rd device to create Wi-Fi spot, miracast works fine, but i have Internet only on my phone, so that is not the option. I can't just use phone for Internet sharing due for my mobile operator's restrictions.
Can I use WiFi on my phone only for miracast and LTE for Internet?
Is there any other ways to find the solution?
Thanks a lot!
