Question pixel 6 Hotspot & 5 GHz? - Google Pixel 6 Pro

I use hotspots however noticed this only seems to have 2.4 GHz support, I can't seem to find 5 GHz...............am I missing something?

Did you try out the "extend compatibility" button?
If that is activated, it should mean that 2.4 Ghz is used (for greater compatibility) - if you un-check it, it should switch to 5Ghz. Maybe I misinterpret this button/option, but I don't quite see what else it would do.

No it doesn't do that, that seems to be nothing to do with Wifi 5 GHz on the Hotspot menu

I did a bit of research and found a couple of reddit threads talking about a similar issue with the Pixel 4/ Pixel 5
For reference one
->
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/lmlhxt
And the results are mixed.
There are people that claim that it might have something to do with having an active 5G connection to your own House-Network wifi that might prevent the Pixel to open 5Ghz network itself, some claim that it has to do with a 5ghz-force option in developer options, one guy even claimed Google said that it only supports 2.4ghz - even though at last one said that his Pixel 4 can open 5Ghz hotspots.
So you have 4 opinions with four different results and only one will suit your needs.
Thanks, Internet. I guess.

I travel a lot and not always does hotel WIFI network serve me well, not to mention security
I use an app (that requires root of course) and allows me to select 5 GHz for an access point
down to which channel I prefer from a list of options for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz tethering.
VPN Hotspot - Apps on Google Play
Share your VPN connection over hotspot or repeater. (root required)
play.google.com
One advantage is that the client devices can benefit from adware filtering since it
filters the entire network by chaining the local VPN that blocks ads like a pi-hole

That's interesting info and I installed it, however I can't get Nordvpn to share, are you using pixel6Pro, or android 12? system install or not? I read the manual at github. I also don't understand if repeater or hotspot is required for vpn sharing, and I cant get repeater mode to work anyway, tried setting various pins on the app and in windows, no luck.

The reason is Pixel 6 supports Wi-Fi 6. When you have "Extend compatibility" disabled, it uses 6 GHz frequency, which is supported by far not every device today. If you enable the setting, it switches to 2.4 GHz, leaving you without the option to use 5 GHz. I confirmed this on my Apple device with Wi-Fi 6 support.
I am not sure if 5 GHz hotspot is supported by the phone's hardware, but I suspect it's more likely is and it's just Android's UI not giving you the option. I guess it makes sense to open a ticket at Google's Bug Tracker.
UPD. Made a ticket, please star, this will help the issue to get noticed sooner:
Issue 211113450: Ability to use 5 GHz Wi-Fi hotspot on Pixel 6 & Pixel 6 Pro

I'm currently on live chat with Google, and they're claiming my Pixel 6 doesn't support broadcasting WifI hotspot on 5 GHZ at all. I'm not sure if I believe this though. Any thoughts?

I just tested my WLAN speed without any registry mods @ http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed with 1MB filesize and I got ~1500 kbit/s so I don't think it is necessary to modify those settings.
My Access Point is a LinkSys WRT54GL router with Tomato 1.23 firmware set to Mixed B+G mode and WPA2 Personal (PSK) + AES security.

you need now to install the cab and , after a soft reset, to do the test again ...
I did some research about what "Basic Rate" really is.
This seems to be the lower speed limit for WLAN device handshake, so the client/access point can
a) figure out what the bare minimum speed is that's needed to connect to the given AP
b) set the initial communication speed between the device and its AP
Apparently this is only important when you have old 802.11b devices connecting to a mixed B+G AP.
There should be no impact on the actual WLAN speed.

Without any mods, my speed is 1624 kbits/sec.

Hi
before the "tweak" I hade a speed of around 1300k. After I applied the "tweak" speed jumped to 1900k. Not bad at all
Thanks for the advice!
Btw. I have the stock 1.14 Rom on my HD (GER) and had the string already there.

I like it also
im seeing a 520k gain. Great for video
I can't see any difference.
How do you improve speed? With the proposed CAB file or by manually modifying the registry?
Because the CAB file is adding a key to a non-existing folder in the registry:
HKLM\Comm\TNETWLN1\Parms
param="Dot11SupportedRateMaskG" value="8"
This parameter is already set to "8" in TNETW12511 key and not in TNETWLN1, the last is non-existent.
Furthermore the first post in the thread speaks about "Dot11BasicRateMaskG" and not "Dot11SupportedRateMaskG" ?
Placebo warning lolol
Guys I also have 1 on the reg, but when I connect to my wifi router, on the Wireless Settings on my HD, Tx Rate is at 54Mbps... and my Linksys is forced to only accept G connections...

Just wondering if this patch will help browse the web faster?
Thanks in advance.
How can I measure the transfer rate. I have a felling that wifi works realy slow when browsing.
thnx in advance
Some of you had mentioned speeds of more then 1000 Kb/s. Is it real?
I did change the registry value from 4 to 8. All I am getting are speed values around 400, 300 or sometime 250 Kb/s using either DSLREPORTS or Pocket Speed Test.
I have the ASUS 406G ADSL wireless router, configured to operate on 54Mb/s
Please advice
What should be the values of the following Registry Keys?
--- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS dot11SupportedRateMaskG (mine is set to 8)
--- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN12511\PARMS dot11SupportedRateMaskG (mine is set to 8)
--- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN12511\PARMS dot11BasicRateMaskG (mine is set to 1; when set to 8 the speed is close to zero)
--- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN12511\PARMS dot11BasicRateMaskB (mine is set to 1)
--- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN12511\PARMS dot11SupportedRateMaskB (mine is set to 2)
Please advice

[ROOT] DroidWall v1.5.1 - Android Firewall (Useful for most of us)

Hi everyone,
I don't have an unlimited data plan. I always went to use WhatsApp Messenger . Howsoever, there are many application runs on the background spending traffic (also draining battery too fast). today I have found out there is an application free on the market call "DroidWall - Android Firewall". This application works as iptables front-end to block undesired applications from accessing the network.
You may alos restrict any program depending on the type of the connection. For example you set Gmail application only works when you use WIFI and will get block when you using 3G for example.
I thinks they are more people have the same problem I had. that's I am sharing it here.
ATTENTION: ROOT REQUIRED!!!
Front-end application for the iptables Linux firewall.
Allows you to restrict which apps can access the network.
This is the perfect solution if you don't have an unlimited data plan, or just wants to see your battery lasting longer.

Thanks for this.
Just curious.. In PC environments we use firewalls to control outbound and prevent rogue inbound..
I know this differs depending on carrier but with ATT our network is proxied anyway (meaning inbound will always fail) and as for outbound it would seem if there was an app on android you didn't want having net presence you'd just freeze or uninstall it.
Not criticizing the app.. Just hoping someone will give me some example uses where I could take advantage of it other than not having unlimited data as that makes perfect sense.
Thanks for your work!
Hello,
You may restrict any program depending on the type of the connection. For example you set gmail application only works when you use WIFI and will get block when you using 3G for example.
Hope this help you understand the use of the programe.

Settings for HTC WIFI Hotspot?
Hi, Great app.
Can anybody tell how to allow HTC WIFI Hotspot to connect internet?
It doesn't appear on droidwall's app list, but instead when I turn on "(root) - Applications running as root", I can access to internet from my laptop.
But I'm not sure this setting can allow ANY of root apps to access internet, which we may not want them to.
Please tell what's the best solution for that? Otherwise should I install other wifi hotspot app?
Anybody noticed any improvements in battery life after using this?
I use LBE Privacy Guard that features pop ups and privacy protection

[APP] AWESOME App for Wifi Tethering - Open Garden Wifi Tethering

i tested out all the wifi tethering apps and this one was by FAR the best. Fastest speeds. Easily allows 4g tethering. compared to barnacle, wifi tether, and wireless tether, and its Noticeably faster. I only tried it cuz I couldn't get the sprint hotspot hack on my ROM. So if you're in this group, or even not (speeds are very very comparable, if not faster, than sprint hotspot), TRY IT OUT!
NOTICE::: Requires GPS Permission, so USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! see posts below, including mine - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17571902&postcount=30.

I like this one as well, becuase my ipod can connect to it.
it is basically the same layout as wifi tether and a few others..but it doesnt need to activate sprint hotspot. whenever it did that for me i had serious issues. plus this one gives faster speeds

Yup, the old one would require a wipe cache/dalvik in order to use native Hotspot so it definately caused some conflict. Just ran YouTube and there was no freezing or lag

i think EH17 broke this app, i couldn't get it to broadcast a wifi connection and there is some text that comes up about a missing file in /data/.../ when i reinstalled.
It did that for me a few times, too, but when I re-launched the app*, it worked.
*relaunched as in, immediately after it gave me the error and closed; if you're using the Hurricane ROM, you should also download Root Checker from the Market - for some reason, even though BusyBox was supposed to be installed, it wasn't and I had to download a separate installer to make it all work.

Will try it. Hope it works better than wifi tether. Had it crash on me this weekend while power was out and totally destroyed my rom, not even restoring a back up would stop the force closes, also had journaling enabled.

A This is clearly based on wireless tether 2.x. This is a GPL violation, as they do not provide source code. How is opengarden different? There is code pertaining to wakelock handling, and:
B Functions that collect your GPS location and device id. I've browsed through their site, and they (claim) to have a plan to create a free public mesh network, but:
C They fail to mention this in the market description, or the app itself.
Since this modified GPL app, I am perfectly within my rights to modify the app, so I have removed all code pertaining to stats collection (as well as the FINE_LOCATION permission), and am posting this fork here, on the assumption that the wakelock handling makes this thing worthwhile.
Enjoy.

[SOLVED] Safe access to public wifi's?

Hi, soon i'm going to a vacation and would like to know what to use to access public wifi networks securely to avoid my personal data interception and generally be secure while browsing?
Thanks
VPN.
Google superfreevpn, but you will have the check what is the password before you use their VPN, because they change the password every now and then.
Pressed from my Maguro
Issues I see with superfreevpn:
-Uses PPTP (PPTP a history of insecurities)
-Restricts bandwidth
-Restricts use (no P2P, no torrents)
-8 hour time limit per session
-No idea who these guys are (no guarantee they aren't stealing your info themselves)
As an alternative, you could set up your own OpenVPN server at home. Most home routers can do this easily when using firmware such as OpenWRT, DD-WRT or Tomato, or you can set it up on a computer behind your router. Then you have a secure connection back to your own ISP, so you will have at least the same level of security/privacy you have at home. This is what I do, using OpenVPN for Android on my phone which uses the new VPN APIs introduced in ICS.
Hope this helps.
Hmmm, this seem to be a better option.:good:
Another alternative is to use Orbot from Google Play store, which implements Tor on Android.
Thanks guys, especially @phazerorg.
Umm while i understand the process of VPN you're talking about, what about data which is first sent to/through public WiFi AP?

If you mean before the VPN tunnel is established, it's true that some connections could be made. I think the best you could do here is to either turn off syncing and don't browse before the VPN is up, or make sure any syncing/browsing uses SSL. A little Google searching seems to indicate that the gmail app uses SSL, so no worries for that. For other apps, you'd want to investigate. Or shut off all syncing so pretty much no connections are made before you connect to your VPN. Once the VPN is up, you can have all traffic travel through it and it just looks like UDP packets of random data to the public wifi.
WIll look into OpenVPN.

Nothing specific, but searching Google for "OpenVPN tutorial" turned up quite a number of useful-looking results, including some from the official OpenVPN site. I know there's a GUI app for Windows, and router firmware makes it easy. OpenVPN is popular and open source, so there's loads of resources and a community around it so you shouldn't have any trouble.
You can allways use opera mini as everythding goes through their servers. I would not trust free vpns as its like using a free access point. Who's to say they arnt looking at your data

Once a VPN circuit is established, all data is encrypted between your device and the server. No one in the WiFi hotspot could read your data, even if they intercepted it. Neither could the WiFi hotspot operators.
The same is true of Tor, with the added benefit that the Tor node operators can't read your data, either, with the exception of the exit node. But the exit node operator can't tell who sent the data, because the packet headers have been stripped and replaced (several times).

I had issues with OpenVPN. I ended up setting up a linux server with IPSec instead. I just use the built-in VPN connectivity (L2TP/IPSec PSK, to be precise) to connect to my home server.

While TOR might be (arguably) great for "anonymizing", it does nothing for encryption. You can sniff packets from someone using TOR as simply as someone using a direct connection.
Edit: Actually, I need to look into TOR a bit more. Does anyone know for certain if it's endpoint-to-endpoint encrypted? The Orbot Play Store page says nothing about encryption, but rather only mentions the proxy chain effect, which would make my original statement correct.

Again, this doesn't encrypt data, which means anyone in the vicinity can fairly easily sniff packets from you and plainly see your data flowing. Even worse would be people who have their own mobile access point, de-auth you from the public wifi, and then spoof the public wifi. It's actually fairly easy to do.
Tor is encrypted from your device to the exit node.

hmm, TOR seems to be working fine in terms of ease of use and configuration. If everything is indeed encrypted than it's ideal solution for me.
Anyone else has an opinion?

If the path is encrypted endpoint-to-endpoint, such as it would be in a VPN (or apparently with TOR... thanks for the info, strumcat, as I assume that applies to Orbot also), then a man-in-the-middle gets nothing. If someone gets between you and the wifi node, they would only see the encrypted gibberish.
that being said, TOR (Orbot) it is.
Thanks all!

Yes, Tor is the name of the network itself. Tor Browser Bundle (for Windows) and Orbot (for Android) are provided by the Tor Project and the Guardian Project for accessing Tor. They both utilize Tor encryption and other features, You can always check to make sure that Tor is working by browsing to http://check.torproject.org site.
If you're using Jellybean and want to use the transparent proxying feature in Orbot, be sure to first enable "Use Default IPTables" in Orbot settings so it will work ok. Then enable "Transparent Proxying", and choose the apps you want to use Tor under "Select Apps". That's the easiest way to use it. When you want to use the apps normally again, just turn off Tor.
You can learn more about Tor and Orbot at https://www.torproject.org/
yes i did, works great.
Orbot is very elegant solution.

Yes, Tor is the name of the network itself. Tor Browser Bundle (for Windows) and Orbot (for Android) are provided by the Tor Project and the Guardian Project for accessing Tor. They both utilize Tor encryption and other features, You can always check to make sure that Tor is working by browsing to http://check.torproject.org site.
If you're using Jellybean and want to use the transparent proxying feature in Orbot, be sure to first enable "Use Default IPTables" in Orbot settings so it will work ok. Then enable "Transparent Proxying", and choose the apps you want to use Tor under "Select Apps". That's the easiest way to use it. When you want to use the apps normally again, just turn off Tor.
You can learn more about Tor and Orbot at https://www.torproject.org/

So on the Bench for a few hours no major problems with the basic testing and performance is on par with other
S912 units I have tested, this unit keeps its cool and did not stress to much, Found WiFi and ethernet to be Ok
More testing in that area soon as with many other test,
More to come
Does this device come rooted ?
root
There is no root for GT1.
I wonder if the Geekbench 4 scores would differ from those posted here.
Also, it would be interesting to see how the S912 runs LibreELEC. Hopefully one will surface soon.

That was fast. Thanks for running the benchmark.
Looks great, professional test.
Just got mine in the mail. It appears to be a bit faster than my Ugoos UT4. Now I just need root access...

Hope he will support the A912 owners as well!
He just said he does not have it yet. I am pretty lucky to have one with 9377 WiFi/BT chip.
Sorry for the double post, I tested the custom ROM yesterday. Netflix works out of the box, without the need to modify anything. Everything else is pretty much the same. It does have some apps preinstalled that I do not want. I went back to the official one, especially since the guy in charge for the ROM does not have the device anymore and did not develop a version for the box with the other WiFi chipset.

I found the ROM quite a bit better then the 106 firmware.
-seemed a bit smoother (although this is highly subjective)
-kodi dark screen issue is gone
-I like the reboot app he added
-youtube works perfectly as is up to 1080p
most importantly, it looks like he might be continuing development, some of the members at freaktab are working to get him some donations so he can buy another GT1, hes very close to having the enough to buy another GT1.
I never had any black or green screen, none of those issues that some other people complained about with official firmware. I gave it away, since I got the Q10 Pro at a very good price. I will continue to monitor it because I gave it to a colleague and I want him to have the best experience he can get on the GT1.
You could get a GT1 for Free
Bit of a thing over at Freaktab
Leave a comment as per the instructions and you could win one.
Ends on the 30th of November
Gotta be in it to win it :good:

Bugs SCV9-ATV:
On 1º boot when you setup in english language the on screen keyboard may not show when you going to put you wifi password, to fix it go back and change to another language go to the wifi password click it to show the on screen keyboard when it shows go back to the language selection screen and choose english again and it should be ok now on the wifi password. YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE!
Only update "su" if you are going to to stay at root if are not going to stay at root and you are going to be doing a lot of changes between the two dont update it! Or you will get a boot animation loop...
Ugoos Firefly after you enable it and reboot still says its off but its not true, its on!
Google cast dont work(missing Widevine L1), use ugoos Firefly for casting videos and pics of your phone to the tvbox.
