Anyone know if I can remove this? Froze this in TBP and could not start my hotspot.
Tried to get Wifi Tether router to work but wouldn't broadcast the SSID.
Wifi Tether router seems to have a fault with any of the HTC Marshmallow roms. It doesn't broadcast the SSID, if you get it to work let me know.

Must the router be broadcasting in order for the SGN to connect? I've always been able to setup without broadcasting the router for all to see, however I turned off wifi boradcasting and ICS cannot connect to the router, but will automatically connect if I'm broadcasting. I prefer to not broadcast my router despite having security encryption on, so am I missing a setting or something on the SGN, or is this the only way for wifi to work properly.
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.

Anyone having trouble with WiFi? With my home router it just keeps cycling between "Authenticating" and "Obtaining IP Address". It will connect with my Nexus 4 if I use my N4 to create a WiFi hotspot. My old N7 connects to this router just fine. It has full bars and is using WPA/WPA2 PSK security. I tried WPS and it didn't work either. Anyone else having issues or have any ideas? I want to root this, but I need to make sure the wireless is working correctly first.
Edit: It appears to work correctly if I switch to 2.4 GHZ mode, but will not connect correctly under Auto or 5GHZ mode. Curious if anyone else is having this problem.
Ive searched the web and read about countless issues about lollipop wifi. but im looking for something specific which i cannot find elsewhere:
on KitKat when connecting to a hotspot (or any wifi for that matter) it would instantly connect to wifi and switch to that connection, regardless if the connection gave internet access or not.
on LP it seems to remain connected to mobile data and wifi does not give an IP address until a hotspot is logged in (using the sign in to wifi notification)
the problem is it doesnt always show, is there a way to switch the wifi policy to not perform a soft handover? or does this need to be baked into a rom?
I have an app that auto-logs into wifi hotspots for me, but because it does not get an IP address and apps are not able to use that connection, it does not work as intended.
FYI i am NOT talking about wifi to mobile data handover, its the other way around
I think it is a bug.
I had a similar issue. If you know how to, try seeing up a reservation for your phone on the router and setting your WiFi settings on the phone manually.
