Is this possible ?? Connect our phone to a router?

My dad has a motor home and canceled his Comcast account for where he keeps it (some motor home park)
Because his internet speeds with his phone is amazing to say the least.
He's fine with just tethering but I was wondering if its possible to some how connect his phone to the router ??
The router is more powerful at sending the wifi, plus he has some things hardwired (roku,computer)
It seems like there should be a way, but I have no clue..
THANKS!

just enable WiFi tethering, you don't need a router for that

Yeah use either wifi tether or barnacle (same thing better options and free) then your phone becomes a wireless router which uses your cellular data connection for internet so subject to plan limits and throttling.
Connect multiple devices like you would your usual router. Any device that can use wifi should pretty much work this way just follow app directions too it's easy just usually have to ok each device on phone before it can access the internet
Note: eats battery for breakfast so keep charger and some power source handy if needed for long sessions
Keep number of clients as low as you can more clients = less time on battery and phones not meant to handle a ton of routing
oh and TMobile is known to firewall certain Ports on their end

Thanks.. Yea I know about tethering as we both do it all the time..
As I said, in his motor home his router is already set up to many things (Direct TV, Roku,Computer, laptop)
Yes we can just do it through wifi tether, but I thought you would be able to some how hook it right into a router that is WiFi/Ethernet and just leave it at that..
Believe it or not at 45 feet long, with some stuff in the back and some in the front, the signal sometimes isn't as strong

This is advice only I am not responsible for anything you choose to do with any of your own personal equipment!
It ain't easy but it is possible but you would need to create a wifi bridge but unless your router can use dd-wrt or other custom firmware won't work.
Basically you would start wifi tether then use router via DD-wrt to connect as client to phones wifi said and then it would share that with devices connected to the router out again though phone would still bottle neck speed if too many clients go too crazy on data because in the end all data must flow through phone to the internet.
I did it with a cheap linksys wrt54g v8 but I bridge my ISP router out to another room. Also all wired Ports on router would also go back to phone and internet

Something else you can do is wired tether to a computer and set the other computer's gateway to that computer's ip. If this sounds like an option you are curious reply and I'll give full instructions.

Well you could just bridge the phone connection in network connects to I've that connects to router set router gateway to that computers IP (set up ics in windows walks through comp piece after phone tethered and all drivers set). If you use crossover ethernet cable (trees different than straight through normal cable I know I do camping telecom work all day either buy one from just bout anywhere just be sure it says crossover) or make one) from computer with USB or wifi tethered phone to routers WAN port and set router IP manually to something like
Computer:
IP: 192.168.1.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: the IP of the bridge created by ics
Router
IP:192.168.1.2
Same subnet
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
That is very basic and off the cuff while on smoke break Google ics and basic use of bridges connections for detailed info
You would have to have that computer run full time without going to sleep for internet access via phone even from rest of network. Otherwise all devices would see either and work between themselves butno internet until gateway was on and awake.

i want to set up the same thing without using the computer...is it possible I'm running DD-wrt on a wrt54g and barnacle

Yes, set phone with barnacle then connect DD-wrt using client bridge under wireless after you either clicked SSID using their pop up or entered it manually drop down box at bottom is client bridge. Don't forget to click security and set the settings accordingly.
Also don't forget to click to allow DD-WRT router on your phone screen when you connect it just like any computer before it will see the internet.

i realize this is an old thread that i am hoping to revive...
i have an android phone that is rooted.
also have a linksys wrt54gl router
i am trying to do one of several things and i need some help...
i am wanting to use my wifi hotspot on the phone fed through the router to get internet...
i can already tether in windows 10 straight to the phone... my issue is linux mint 18 isnt seeing any wireless connections and it doesnt pick up a usb tether as wired. i dont have dsl or anything like that. only mobile data provides internet..
i am super confused.
router has dd-wrt installed i just am confused on how to get it to work....
each page i read is something different and i havent found the setting that works, and im not terribly knowledgeable about this either.
i installed the dd-wrt because of linux being that it is linux firmware for the router i figured it would communicate way better and not have to do work arounds etc...
my linksys ae1200 needs to much work and its still not seeing that one and i havint figured out ndiswrapper or ndsgtk (might have that incorrect- essentially the gui for ndiswrapper)
im trying to figure it on windows 10 right now and havent tried for linux.. figured its just way better to ask... i could care less about configuring for windows 10.. system is dual boot win10 and linux mint 18.
i want it to work so i can get linux where it can do updates and download from internet the necessary package through synaptic, etc...
trying to do other things with linux for android...
AGAIN there is not wired connection to work from so in general im just having a hard time.
any and all help is appreciated and if im in the wrong thread, please direct me to the correct one.
thank you

[Q] 2.3.4 DInc Can't see or connect to Ad Hoc after changing wpa_supplicant

So I have scoured the forums and Google for answers. They suggested changing things in the wpa_supplicant file, or replacing it all together. This ranged from /system/bin wpa_supplicant, to /system/etc/wifi wpa_supplicant.conf, to /data/misc/wifi wpa_supplicant.conf.
I have added the ad hoc network to my DInc, sitting right in front of the computer, DInc won't pick it up.
The only reason I am trying to create an ad hoc is because I do not have a data plan, and my DInc won't connect to my router across the house. I literally have to sit next to the router for my phone to connect and handshake properly. But anywhere in my home my phone can pick up the signal, and the signal strength ranges from -55dBm to -90dBm. I have narrowed it down to the problem of the DInc not having a very being able to reach out very far itself. I guess that couples with all of maybe 3 walls with minimal wiring/piping and whatnot in them means it's going to rage at me.
Does any one have a solution to my problem?
Any help would be loved considering this problem just seems so ridiculous.

How far are you from the router, i can pick mine up for about a half a block from my house? I would check your router settings and make sure it is transmiting at ful power.
As for the ad hoc thing just so im clear, you have a wired pc with built in wifi or a wifi dongle? Your trying to share your pc's net with your phone?

I'm 20-30 ft from my router, and it's transmitting at it's highest gain. I said that my phone can detect it and it has very good to full signal strength on my phone, but it acts as if it can't reach out and talk to the router.
For the pc thing, my pc isn't hooked to an ethernet cable it has a Belkin Wireless G Desktop card in the PCI E, and I'm trying to make a wireless ad hoc connection. Obviously my own PC can detect that ad hoc network, I haven't been able to see if the other computers here pick it up.
I hope I didn't just screw up and forget that I need to be hard wired to my router to make an ad hoc... >_>

Have you tried setting your router and phone to use a stattic ip?
You either need to be hard wired, or have 2 wifi dongles, one for connecting to the router to get the net, and the other for making the connection between the pc and the phone. At least im pretty sure thats how it works, unless your dongle has the capability to have 2 connections. Not sure if that even exists.

I do have a USB dongle, as you call it. Never heard it called hat before this forum, ha... I can plug that in since I have the drivers for it already loaded, and make it the ad hoc. But that still leaves the problem of my DInc not seeing it. I know by default it can't detect ad hoc for what ever the dev's reasons are, and editing things allows it to work. Should I try the methods I attempted before again or is there something that I missed.
I had a lot of trouble simply finding anything related to the DInc to begin with, and whether that part is important or not, I don't know.

Okay I set up an Ad Hoc properly, other computers can pick it up now. I still can't get my DInc to pick it up. I guess I could go back through and try the options I did before with the wpa_supplicant files, and see if that works.

Make sure that the usb adapter the inc is trying to connect to is broadcasting at 2.4ghz and not 5ghz. Also make sure its using G and not N.

PROBLEM SOLVED! Thank you for the help with the ad hoc set up. I used one of the .zip files i had on my desktop for a wpa_supplicant replacement, and i added that to /system/bin and then turned my wifi on, and it's all working.
I felt like putting the file up here for anyone else to use if they pop by from a google search or something.

I'm actually using my DINC as a wi-fi only device now & was having the same issues as you were with the ad-hoc. I used the same wpa file that you posted but to no avail for me. I'm trying to tether my DINC to my Droid DNA. Are there any other settings on the DINC that need to be changed? I can't even turn the wi-fi on with the wpa file you shared.
My DINC is as follows:
MIUI Rom 2.11.9.0
Android 4.1.2
Baseband 2.15.10.12.20
Kernel 2.6.38.8-incredikernel-jb
Would really like to tether this to the DNA.

[Q] wifi help

My note wont connect to my wifi at home. It connects to work and my hotspot just fine. Also every other device including my nexus 7 connect just fine. What could be causing this?

Try a different access point manufacturer. My fried also has a Note 8 and he had the same issue. His router access point was from TimeWarner. He added a Linksys accesspoint and worked just fine.

Do a little more troubleshooting. If it connects to every network except yours, we can confidently say it's your router. Does it even show up on the list of available networks? Be more specific. What kind of router do you have? is it dual band?

I have the 105mbps internet through Comcast so we have their brand gateway (modem/router combined). Basically what happens is the tablet will connect to the network but has no internet access. It shows everything is OK but as soon as you try to load any website it says webpage not available, the play store won't load, etc. But its weird. All devices listed in my signature connect just fine, and so does my smart TV, ps3, and blue ray player, there is literally nothing else that won't connect.
And yes I've tried the basics of booting everything off the network, changing channels on the modem, changing encryption settings and factory resetting the gateway.

The issue of my Galaxy Note 8.0 (3G vesion) is WiFI unstable connectivity.
All of my devices (3 other tablets and 3 other notebooks ) work well with the access point.
but Note 8.0 is just unstable, taking a lot of time to load data for youtube media app, and webpage .
I had tried a different access point manufacturer, but the issue remains.
I had upload some YouTube video ( but voice is using Chinese/Mandarin lagauage)
youtu.be/xg7irxKNl9Y
youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=r3h4HU6HWmw

I've had the same issue with the same Comcast router. Every other device works except for the Note 8.

Just bought a note 8.. also have comcast modem router with phone combo.. same issue. Connects fine but internet wont work. Huge bummer which I think is going to make me return it and get an ipad mini instead.

Why would you gimp your self in to a less capable tablet because your ISP's god-awful router doesn't meet the standard? Seriously, you would be doing your self a HUGE favor by going and getting a real router and dropping that crappy gateway/access point off your monthly bill (you are likely renting that POS from comcast.)

I'm having the same problem with my brand new Netgear router. I have a feeling this problem is similar to the issue the Note 2 wifi has. Unfortunately, on the Note 2 there's a code you can enter on the phone interface that allows you to turn of it's wifi power saver mode (that's what causes the problem on the Note 2). With no phone interface, I'm not sure how to get to that setting on the Note 8. Changing it on my Note 2 made a TON of difference though. On the Note 2 the code is *#0011# in the dialer. Anyone got any ideas?

Same problem here with one of my routers. It works for a second or two then disconnects. The only way to get the Note working was to disable wifi G and N modes on the router, and only use B mode.

Swann Security Remote View, Home WiFi Works, Mobile Data Doesn't

Hello all!
Recently I've purchased the Swann DVR8-1425 security system.
I've been able to connect it to my home network successfully. I can remote view the cameras through my T999L (no root, completely stock) on WiFi through the SwannView app, but as soon as I put it into mobile data, it shows me a message of not being able to contact the server. I'm assuming if I were at someone elses house on their WiFi, it would be the same result. Same issue on my Dad's S2, rooted, running Infamous 3.0 in the T989 forums.
I've messed with most, if not all the settings I can possibly use with trial and error. When it comes down to it, obviously there's only the one setting that works with my WiFi (the given IP address from the DVR and a server port given: 9000) and it won't connect with mobile data whatsoever (2g, 4g, or LTE). I've tried using HTTP port 85 instead of the 9000, a preferred DNS server in place of the IP address, turning on and off UpNp (not really sure what that does). Absolutely nothing. Server connection fail each time when using mobile data.
I've disabled the firewall in hopes of it working, but I've had no luck. Haven't reset the router, assuming I just unplug and replug but other than that, I'm out of ideas. Not sure what else I can work on besides the firewall, if that even does anything.
The Swann software installed on my Mac does work, but haven't had a chance to test it somewhere other than my home network. It could work, but I wouldn't know at this point. Just more concentrated on the mobile data issue.
My knowledge is small when it comes to this networking stuff. Connecting to a WiFi hotspot is about as easy as it gets for me lol. I just got lucky with trial and error for setting it up with the home network. Just wondering if anyone has experience with this or ideas that may come to mind. At the worst, I won't be able to remote view anywhere other than using my wifi, but it will still record at least.
Thanks in advance!

^^^^^
Seems to me you should test the remote connection elsewhere before you start troubleshooting a problem thst may not even exist. If its not configured correctly to do what you want, its not going to work across the internet which would include the mobile data.
Make sure you can access what you want remotely, then test over mobile data. Unless I read that wrong it doesn't sound to me like you've done this. You can test the mobile data connection all you want, but if its not working remotely by any other means you will be wasting your time. (Unless you got lucky and configured it correctly, but as you said, youre not very experienced with this).
Until you verify it does work remotely, there's no reason to assume its your phone or T-Mobile that is the problem.
Tbh, I'd assume first it was a router config on your side. (Unplugging it doesn't reset its settings, and even if it did it may not be configured as needed by default.)
You'd probably find better support by going to the equipment website and router website.
Sorry I don't have the answer your looking for, but hopefully ill get you in the right direction.

After read this earlier, I facepalmed myself and went to go test this out. Drove over to Starbucks a few minutes ago, connected to their wifi through my phone and it didn't connect Hmm...definitely a router setting then. The dvr itself is connected to the router by an ethernet cable. Just a matter of figuring out how to configuring the router settings. Thanks!

Hey. I came across this page looking for a solution to a similar problem. My new swann system connects fine with my phone on Orange but wouldn't connect to my partners identical phone on Vodafone via mobile Internet. Both worked on wifi. I solved by asking Google for my ip address, then going onto the swannview link app, under my device is a button to edit, on the edit page where it has p2p if you tap the line it gives you another option to connect with ip, then enter your ip where it says host. Save details with icon in top right and log in. This solved my issue, hope it helps anyone with the same issue.

Fix
Hello..
I am also using Lorex wireless security camera for my home but till now I am not facing any issue because all configuration is performed by experts. But I have two fixes for your issue.
Either contact with Lorex Support Team for help or follow steps:
Check with your mobile data service provider to confirm if they allow streaming of constant information over their network.
Configure a lower substream video resolution in your DVR / NVR settings to reduce mobile data usage and increase your connection speed.
If you cannot connect to your cameras using an LTE or IPv6 connection, switch to a 3G connection.
If you are using a device ID through your mobile plan, set up a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) to eliminate the need to pass through the Stratus / FLIR Cloud servers.
Hope it helps!

Flaky Wifi Connection

Has anyone else had issues with the wireless on the Fire TV? Randomly my wifi connection drops out and I either have to reboot or attempt to connect to another access point and then connect back to my normal one. I have no problems on ethernet.

No problems on my Charter WiFi.
If you use the WiFi Adblocker app,make sure to force stop it after enabling the blocker because it causes random disconnects when left open.
What is your provider name/brand and what are the speeds?

No blocking apps installed. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection, the Fire TV just likes to randomly say "Connected with problems" on the WIFI screen. Everything else in my house is working fine.

Oh,that's what you meant.
I sometimes get that whenever I look at it,and it fixes itself a bit later.
I am unsure what the real problem is.

I sometimes get that whenever I look at it,and it fixes itself a bit later.
I am unsure what the real problem is.

Yeah, it's quite annoying. After doing some googling it seemed like I wasn't the only one, but no solutions. I'm attempting to compile the latest version of the WIFI driver to see if that helps.

Any updates on this. My unit does this just about every time I use it. No other device on my network has any issue.

I was going to try a newer version of the wifi driver but never really got around to doing it. Once I start working on AOSP again I may look into compiling the latest version. But because recovery requires ethernet I just plugged it in to ethernet so it doesn't really bother me anymore.

My device is 100% stock. Should I contact Amazon about having a defective unit?
This thread is the only place I've seen where anyone else has this problem.

I saw some mentions of it elsewhere, but you can try and see what they say.

Has anyone else had issues with the wireless on the Fire TV? Randomly my wifi connection drops out and I either have to reboot or attempt to connect to another access point and then connect back to my normal one. I have no problems on ethernet.

Did you notice if you light in the front was yellow at the time? I used a wired ethernet connection, but I have noticed at times I have managed to lose internet connection (while keeping local connection) and my light will be yellow and flashing when this happens.
Doesn't happen often (like 4 times so far) and not sure why, but I mess around with stuff a lot, so I didn't think much about it.

yes this has happened to me also a few times, but for me I just plug in Ethernet cable for a bit then unplug cable and wifi kicks right in and I'm good to go till the next time....dill

I have daily wifi drops... 50% of the time going to Settings/Networking and doing a rescan fixes it - 50% I must reboot the FTV. I have an ASUS AC68U with Merlin firmware and the signal strength is always "very good". I've tried both 2.4 & 5.0 GHz.
anyone have a fix for this?
thanks!

Same issue....any resolution ever found?

I have had my Amazon Fire TV since last Christmas and no issues until this last update was done. Now Wifi as well as Ethernet connections will drop and at first I thought it was Comcast and each time I logged into my account on my Samsung and ran the connection test, it was always fine, so I would retry FTV and it worked again. So I figured must have been a hickup. Well now it is doing it all the time so I am thinking it is the Fire TV unit. The light on front will blink Amber when the drops happen.

I recently got a fire stick. It has lost the WiFi connection twice, at which time the video I am watching is frozen to a blank screen with the circular "in progress" icon showing. I found that disconnecting and reconnecting the usb power plug into the fire stick gets it rebooted with the WiFi connection 're established. This seems to be a problem many fire s tick users encounter.

I had this problem too but after installing a wifi extender, the problem has subsided. I use a coredy WN300_EXT
