Won't even start the hotspot. My room is far away from the Wi-Fi and never gets connection, so I wanted to set up one phone halfway and use the other, and for my computer. But it when I click start hotspot it just unclicks. I tried to uninstall and and reinstall but it just wont work. I accepted all permissions. I just don't get what the problem is.
Works great. Create a text document with the command that has to be run, and save it with a .BAT extension to streamline connecting to the network. Edit: This connection has become too slow for me to work with for some unknown reason, and it keeps disconnecting, so Ive moved on to a different tether app.
I'm amazed that this app has been able to fix a problem that att has been trying and failing to deliver for me. I am trying to buy the full version now, it's worth every penny, but in order to do that I need to use the app for another 10 minutes to transfer some funds on my computer but I've reached my data limit. The irony is palpable. Highly recommend this app though... I'm gonna go look up "irony" & "palpable" in my paper dictionary to see how badly I just screwed up that last sentence 😅
Update: Giving another star after paying the $5, my speeds got much better. That being said, this app has saved my butt maaaaannny times even using the free version. Using my phone as a range extender has proven useful and has added value to my life. I spend a ton of time in my car, and I use a tiny PC to game on (it was $50 used and plays my games). Instead of buying a wifi card, I just use this and I don't have to eat up a USB port. Yes the PC has wifi, but it doesn't reach work from my car.
Works like a charm once you configure the proxy! AT&T blocks tethering but this app bypasses that. And once I allowed the app to run unrestricted in the background (power setting), I realized I could put my phone to sleep and that fixed my biggest grievance. Only using for web browsing and streaming, but when your WiFi goes out, this is the solution!
At first glance, the app appears very inelgant, but after I actually set it up, it worked 3x better than I thought it would. A tip for using the connect button: make sure that on the device the Hotspot is coming from has the "wps" button selected BEFORE selecting connect as it will take a lot less time for it to connect. You don't even need a Hotspot plan, but mind your cell data limit, as it is used if you don't have wifi.
I never review apps, but this one came in clutch. I ran out of hotspot on my phone and wanted a way to use hotspot without having to pay the phone company. I tried out the unpaid version and it worked, but with slow speeds and such, I tried the paid version and I was more than satisfied. The only problem I have now is that my programs sometimes don't recodnize the LAN connection but browser activity works fine. Netflix app no, but Netflix on browser works great. Am I doing something wrong?
Amazing product, easy to use and instantly gives a gigantic boost in performance. Internet was .5 down/.5 up because of how far I am from the router and modem. Used this and it shot up to 8 down/8 up, which might not seem like a lot, but I can FINALLY watch streams and load books without having to spend an agonizing hour trying to load the page with errors. Would recommend wholeheartedly.
Bought this app for an upcoming cruise trip to share a single WiFi connection. Been playing with it for several days. No issue connecting any client to it. However some apps (all on iphones) cannot go through, for example, iOS Mail, WeChat, Alfred Camera, etc. Another issue is that it may not work on some (older?) phones. I tried it on a Moto G4 Play (2016), but the access point created is not visible. Also a client will not get the full speed. Hopefully the cruise line won't block it.
This app allows you to share internet to other Android devices via Wi-Fi Hotspot but you have to also have this app installed on the other Android devices. I wanted to allow my Roku or Amazon Fire devices to connect to it but I don't think that is possible. I wish this worked as easily as the description would have you believe. At least this version is free but comes with a low data limit.
