So, I hope this doesn't sound too far off. I was grandfathered into unlimited data with Verizon, and want to use it as my main source of internet in my home. I have a smart TV to run netflix/hulu and the like, as well as a media server set up over my wireless network to play movies from my computer. Is it possible to use my Note 4's mobile hotspot, and have the wireless signal rebroadcast through my router? (I have a netgear AC1450-100NAR) It does have a wireless repeating fuction, but it asks for the ip address/mac address for the device it is rebroadcasting. Is this possible to setup, or does anyone have experience setting this up?
Thanks!
John
You could try. Go to settings>about phone>status, scroll down and write down the IP address and Wi-Fi MAC address. Log into your router and turn on repeating feature and add your IP address and MAC address.
Please report back if this works.

Never mind follow the direction above. I had my WI-FI on that's why I had a private IP address.
Try 192.168.43.1. You could also enable the hotspot and connect your TV. You should be able to confirm the network and default gateway (the hotspot address)
Thanks I'll give that a try. The reason I want to share it with a router, instead of just connecting straight to my phone, is I have a ton of devices that need to connect to my router via PC. Printer, Nvidia Shield TV, etc. So having I'd have to keep connecting, and reconnecting devices over and over. So if I can just have everything always connected to my router, I can just connect my router once to my phone, and share my connection with my whole apartment.
This might be too far out but, If that doesn't work for you. I would recommend looking into flashing your router with DD-WRT. Which will open up all sorts of advanced settings on your router and might make it easier to link your phone to it.

I looked into that, and my router doesn't show up :-\ I have a netgear ac1450
I use dd-wrt to do this very often, and on the exact same router too! The AC1450 was a Costco exclusive that was a throttled version of the AC1750 (or better known as R6300v2). It has the exact same hardware specifications, but with a different hardware ID and firmware. you can flash a new hardware ID and R6300v2 firmware, and then either stick with the updated Tx speeds if you decide not to use it as a repeater, or flash DD-WRT and enjoy the increased speeds and repeater options.
You will want to do this to upgrade your router to a r6300v2: http://advancedhomeserver.com/upgrade-a-netgear-ac1450-router-to-ac1750-r6300v2/
then follow the guide here to install DD-WRT: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Netgear_R6300v2
then follow this guide to get the repeater bridge up: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge
I do this, but I use a computer and a router. I turn my hotspot on and connect my computer to it, an Ethernet cable runs from my computer to the router. On the computer you have to make a network bridge and then it'll work

Hi there my genius peers,
I apologize if this question has been asked, however I did search but it's so confusing due to the nature of the question, I will try and simplify what I want...
At work, we are now behind a silly proxy server that is blocking websites such as Mibbit that I was using for web IRC.
We do however have an independent adsl modem with wireless and I can connect to this and browse the net on my phone unrestricted.
My question is, can I run a Proxy server on my Desire HD, have my phone connected to my computer via USB, and then specify Firefox on my computer to connect to the net using the phone proxy server?
I understand tethering can allow the computer to use the phone's internet connection, however I work in an enterprise environment and want to restrict this to just a single web browser rather than all applications on my computer, hence running a proxy server on the phone.
---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------
My understanding is that I would need:
* proxy server daemon running on my phone
* My phone to act like a ethernet network device to my computer, so I can specify a IP address in Firefox's proxy server settings.
I'm not sure if this is possible?
Solved myself
At the moment, using Proxoid to do this...
I found all the info in the following sites if you need to know.

Hello,
I recently purchased the Note 8.0 and I'm experiencing a weird problem with the internet connection. I can connect to my wireless network, I can access other devices on the LAN, but I cannot access the Internet or ping the gateway (I can however ping other hosts on the LAN). I know it's not the tablet as I've tried it at work and I also tried running my S4 as a hot-spot and internet works as it should. The S4 works without a problem on my wireless at home as do a few laptops.
At this point, I'd say, it is obvious that it's something with my cable modem/router, but if possible I'd like to figure out what the problem is.
I found a post somewhere that had a similar problem, where the device in question was receiving the wrong MAC for the gateway, but this is not the case here as my tablet does not even receive a MAC for the gateway.
Output from the tablet:
android:/ $ ip neigh
<some IPv6 address> dev wlan0 lladdr <Gateway MAC> router STALE
192.168.0.1(gateway) dev wlan0 FAILED
192.168.0.5 dev wlan0 lladdr <Server MAC> reachable
Output from the S4:
android:/ $ ip neigh
<same IPv6 as above> dev wlan0 lladdr <Gatewawy MAC> router STALE
192.168.0.1 dev wlan0 lladdr <Gatweay MAC> reachable
192.168.0.5 dev wlan0 lladdr <Server MAC> reachable
I've tried resetting the modem back to factory defaults, removing/changing encryption type. I did not wipe the tablet as I've had the issue from day 1.
The only way I'm able to get the tablet to sort of connect to the internet is to assign a static IP to it, however that only works for a few mins and is very intermittent.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Any way to figure out why the tablet won't get the MAC for the gateway?
My cable modem/router is an Arris DG860, but unfortunately, there's very little info on it and I couldn't find a firmware upgrade for it. What's also interesting is that the tablet does not show up in the DHCP client list of the modem, however it gets an IP, connects and communicates with other hosts.
Thank you for your help
What IP is the Note 8 ending up with? If somehow it is outside the range of what it should be I would wonder if it is just giving itself an IP when it fails to receive one from the DHCP server (ie, your router). I know that Windows computers will do that as a fallback.
Can you check your router to see if perhaps the DHCP pool is too small? If that were the problem then it might not be allocating another IP because there aren't any left (based on it's current config). In which case you can just make the number of allowable IPs to be larger.
There may be other possibilities too. The above are just what is coming to mind at the moment.
It is a valid IP as I have access to other devices on the network, but to answer your question it gets 192.168.0.13 with a mask of 255.255.255.0. I wanted to try forcing the private network to work on IPv6, but haven't been able to figure it out yet.
The tablet gets the right MAC for the server and communicates with it, which leads me to believe that the router (gateway) isn't responding to ARP requests from the Note. I have some access to the router's CLI but it's not very helpful and I have no idea how to troubleshoot it on the Note..

That is bizarre. Can you ping the gateway from other devices on the network? Can other devices on the network ping or otherwise see or access the Note 8? It seems like the Note 8 doesn't exist to the gateway, and so I'm wondering if it also doesn't exist to anything else on the network. It is possible (though I'm just guessing here) that the Note 8 is giving itself an IP address that it determines as being appropriate based on the other devices it can see. Given that it doesn't show up in the DHCP table on the gateway I can't really see how it is getting an IP unless it is assigning it to itself. Another thought is to check the IP addresses of all the other devices currently on the network in case somehow you're having an IP address conflict (ie, two separate devices ending up with the same IP somehow, which can happen temporarily in the case of a device having an IP and then being hibernated, during which another device is given the same IP, and then later the first device is resumed from hibernation).
If you don't receive much further help here on the XDA forums I'd suggest starting a thread over on the SmallNetBuilder Forums as there's lots of knowledgeable folks there that can help with networking things like this.
As for me, I've got to sign off for the night. Best wishes to you as you troubleshoot!
Hi and thanks for the reply.
Yes the gateway is pingable from other devices, so is the Note. I also tried changing the 192.168.0.xxx to 10.10.0.xxx with no luck. The Note received the 10. from the DHCP server, but the gateway still would not respond.
I think it might have something to do with the routing on the modem, the hosts on the network can communicate at layer 2 (no routing need) while everything on the outside needs to be router. Still does not explain why the gateway doesn't respond to the Note though...
Have you done a traceroute to another local device to see the path its taking?
You will need to have root and I think busybox. You will also need to su before doing traceroute... maybe there is an app that can a trace if your not rooted!

Is the router still left with it's default settings? Also, Is there a page in the router/modem's web gui for DHCP and if so, what are those settings? It sounds to me like the DHCP is failing to pass along the external GW and/or DNS servers. To test a theory, are you able to ping 8.8.8.8?
I wonder if this was solved? I'm having the exact same problem minus all the technical knowledge. Tech support at time Warner seem like they are reading a script. Has anyone found a fix or workaround for this modem? My note works everywhere but home
I might have narrowed down the issue...
On technical support last night it was resolved that the Note was looking for IP version 6 ip and the time warner box only outputs IP version 4...
Is there a way to have the note look for IP version 4??? I know nothing about this but I guess over this next year we are supposed to be switching to IP version 6?
I unpacked my note 8 yesterday and I experience an issue when connected to wifi. When I tried to download something from play store it taked too times and usually downloads remained blocked at 70/90% and this didn't happen in 3G. So I tried a factory reset and now all thing works great you could try..

Factory reset doesnt do it for me.
My wifi works everywhere but at home using Time Warner on the Arris DG860 modem. I think the OP and my problem are because of a combo of these factors.
I believe it has to do with the IP change that is taking place this year.
If you look up online it seems to be kind of a big change. You can type ... time warner ip version 6... into google and see a link that explains it. I cant link for some reason.
I wish someone could confirm this, but does the note 8 only accept IP version 6? Time Warner will only deliver version 4 to me right now through this modem, and the tablet is making a version 6 IP.
Atleast thats where ive made it so far.
I can confirm that I have the same problem at my In-Laws house. Arris router, and Charter network in Louisville. Likely the same as Time Warner folks.
But I think the Arris router is the more likely culprit. I didnt feel comfortable asking the FIL to let me kack around in his router :laugh:
I have the same problem on my main wifi at the house. It's a 2.4/5 ghz setup. My guest wifi is just normal 2.4 different router etc. I'm going to need to look into this at length as this just isn't going to do. Also as far as IP6 is concerned we won't see that roll out Internet wise for at least another 2 years fully. When it does go full steam all of the IP4 routers APs will have to be either replaced or firmware upgraded if the internal radios will even support IP6. Most likely 70% won't and that's the reason you don't see a lot of IP6 routers etc. We have them on the enterprise side but most are not in use. I will report back when I have anything useful.

OK figured it out and it includes a bit of funny.
I went through my network setup and forgot that I had
MAC filtering on so I added the Note along with a face palm thinking
That was it, couldn't have been that easy right... No it wasn't but good
News.
The note 8 doesn't like the 20/40 "channel width" or some routers call it "wideband" in the routers or in my case access points. Turn that to 20 only and boom there you go. Wifi
Works perfect. You will find it typically under advanced settings.

The Note 8 supports both 4 and 6. The issues described sound a lot like config issues on the modem or router. as stated before, sounds like an issue with the DHCP server (the thing that provides ips to the devices.)

Hmmm I have an ipad, note 2, ps3, laptop, gfs iphone all connecting just fine... hours and hours of tech support, and the best answer is incompatability. For some reason the note is only creating ip6 my isp only does 4. I understand the note is capabale of both, but in this specific instance there is a bug in the note with this router.
nothing to do with settings. If every other device I own connects without hassle then someone needs to fix the note 8. Christ my note 2 connects....
there were no options untouched by highest level tech person fromisp... its the note 8
Arris DG860 and Note 8 *Workaround*
Ok, just got done trouble shooting a customers Note 8 on working behind one of our DG860 modem/routers, what I was seeing was the Note 8 was showing up with an IPv6 address even if I had the IPv6 DHCP turned off. What I found works is if you go into LAN > DHCP on the DG860 and create a "Fixed DHCP Client" using the Notes MAC address and some address in the IPv4 range like 192.168.0.X it will force it to pull that instead of the IPv6 address and work. Hope this helps anyone running into this weird combination.
At wits end
I been having nothing but issues connecting my wifi only note 8 to the internet at my house. Everywhere else it works fine but at home nothing but issues and all other devices are connecting with no problems. I have tried it with a netgear router, and now a arris gateway and still cannot connect. The cable tech came out by chance and was checking my connections and could not figure out why it would not connect either. I have time warner if that makes a difference which I am starting to wonder it does seeing how I can connect everywhere else and have tried two different ways to connect at home.
Update: So after being on the phone with time warner, samsung, and live chat with Arris this is just one hot mess. Samsung is stating that there seems to be firmware issues with arris gateways which I have noticed many people posting problems with their arris products, and their resolution was to roll back the software. Time Warner is stating that they cannot roll back the software on the modems and was trying to blame it on my tablet, though it was working before I setup the gateway and it works on other routers even on a piece of crap belkin that likes to kick off everything it worked on that with no issues. Arris told me that they have no control over the software only the cable companies do, so in typical fashion a lot of passing the buck and finger pointing. I am just irate at the moment for I do not have a working tablet at home. Part of me thinks it is the android 4.2.2 as well, for I had 4.2.2 on my droid razr hd and had numerous wifi issues with it.
Update 2: After doing some more research I have found there seems to be a issue with the wifi card and the chipset with arris gateways so there is a compatibility issue with the card. I had my netgear hooked up to it before and didn't have issues so I am going to just use my netgear and run the gateway in bridge mode it should fix the issue.

I am going to get a VPN as I want to be able to tether more than my 5gb tethering limit (unlimited normal data). Can you give me some help on how to set this up? I plan to use a router so I can connect my PS3 and tablet. Do I connect the other devices to the router, then the router to the phone or do I have to connect the devices individually directly to the phone? It's not clear to me how I connect it all.
Second, is private internet access (PIA) as good as anyone else?

You can connect the PS3 and Tablet directly to the phone's tethering. I had used a free VPN service just to see how/if it all works and it does. The free VPN was throttling my bandwidth so playing PS3 games online was horrendous. But you simply download a VPN app to the phone (or use the one already there) enter in your account details for the VPN, then simply connect. Now all data flowing in and out of your phone is encrypted and annonymous through the VPN.

Thanks man!
I got tagged by Tmo for exceeding my tethering cap. Installed PDAnet+ and it works perfectly after two days. The only drawback is you can't wifi tether and must USB tether but I'm still happy.
Ever since I upgraded routers to an Arris with Time Warner Cable, my phone has been loading images super slow as well as videos whenever I'm in my home WiFi. Our speeds are very good, in fact, better than my office or public TWC WiFi hotspots. But ever since we upgraded routers, almost all apps have been loading slow or or not even loading. For example, Snapchat doesn't load, YouTube takes forever to load, Twitter takes forever to load, and many other apps are similarly the same. Web pages load fine. I've called and replaced the router multiple times and factory resetted my phone as well. The apps load fine on my phone whenever I use 4G LTE or other WiFi networks. It's only my home WiFi that is having this problem ever since we upgraded routers because we upgraded speeds. We used to have a Motorola surfboard thing. Other devices like iPhone's and computers work find, its just my Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
I'm not sure if it is the settings on the router or something, just wanted to ask if anyone can help me fix this. Thanks!
Sounds like it could be the ipv6 setting in the router. If you have the know how, change it to ipv4 and see if you have any luck with that. For whatever reason, lollipop updates on some phones borks the WiFi. Happened to my wife's LG G3
Was having this same issue. Thanks cas239 for posting that. Fixed my slow speed!

This has sparked some interest so I located the IPV settings on my Fios router.
Section 1- IPV6 Support- it's either enabled or disabled, it's enabled now
Section 2- Specify the method to be used to obtain your WAN IPv6 Address
IPV6- WAN config- none, static or DHCPV6, DHCPV6 is selected
Prefix:- it's set up on auto now but there is a choice add
Section 3- Specify the method to be used to assign LAN IPv6 addresses
IPv6 LAN Configuration- choices are Stateless or State full, unit is set to Stateless
LAN IPv6 Unique Local Address: fd00::1/64
LAN Subnet Number:- set to 0
Router Advertisement Lifetime: set to 3 minutes- adjustment is from 0-150
What if anything would I change
Thanks
I believe ipv6 wan config set to none would disable ipv6.
I disabled it in my router and not only does my phone load faster but a couple other devices do as well.

If you are asking about ADB, you can. But only if you can open port 5555 (or any port) on the FTV's network and forward that port correctly to your FTV device IP and port 5555 on your router. But be very leery about this, ADB has no authentication or encryption and if you leave port 5555 open, you will open your FTV to attacks. A better option would be to run something like SSH server (e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sshdroid&hl=en ). It is a more secure option. I am sure there are other and/or better options. But, any solution that you implement should have some sort of authentication and encryption. And you will need to have rights on the FTV's network router to implement NAT rules.
EDIT: If you can control the remote network's router, you can run a VPN server on it like PPTP or OPENVPN. Newer routers with later firmwares have the ability to run VPN server on them. Or, you can flash the router with something like DD-WRT and that gives you the option to run a VPN server as well. If you can VPN into the network, you don't need to open any ports or need any NAT rules. It is the easiest setup and very secure (OpenVPN option).
Also, you can install somethng like WEBKEY (I don't know if it is allowing new account creation) but it needs a rooted FTV. But, it is an awesome piece of software that gives you true RDP capability into your FTV as well as give you a proper shell to interact with your FTV remotely. The one big drawback is that it works only over HTTP if your port for HTTPS is not open to the outside world.
Another option is AIRDROID. It does not need rooted FTV and if I remember, you can install apps using it (though not using ADB).
You can install Box! Upload any apk toy want from your phone to your Box acct. Then use for tv app box with the same account to download the apk...
