How to share Wi-Fi from Mac to iPhone What you need: You will need to have an Ethernet connection to your Mac, in other words, your Mac needs to be connected to the network with a wire, rather.
You went to an Airport or Hotel, where one needs a username, and password, to log in to WiFi. Now, if your friends come over, or if you have multiple devices, there is no way for them to have internet access. Your laptop is not getting the proper signal in one part of your house, but your smartphone is, and now you wish to use your Android smartphone as a WiFi repeater. All 3 of the problem could be solved if you can just create a WiFi hotspot from an Android, which is already connected to WiFi network.
But there is one big problem — due to Android restriction, you can not share WiFi while connected to the WiFi network. But the key here is — you can share the internet from your mobile data to WiFi. Thankfully, there is a way to convert your Android into a WiFi repeater. Meaning, your Android is connected to a WiFi network and you can create a hotspot sharing the same WiFi network. And both devices will be able to use the Internet at the same time. So, next time you visit a Hotel or an Airport, where they give you internet access in only one device, using this workaround you can turn on Android smartphone as a WiFi repeater, and get Internet in multiple devices.
No need to rely on mobile data and the speed is pretty fast as well. The reason why there is no default setting in Android to activate WiFi repeater is because of the limitation of the network adapter of Android, it does not let you create two connection at the same time, i.
And the app called NetShare no root tethering works smartly around this restriction. It first creates a workgroup, which takes the other devices on the same network.
From your Android smartphone, head over to Google Play store and download NetShare no root tethering. Due to Android restriction, you cannot change the WiFi name or password like you do for WiFi hotspot.
To fix that, you need to set up a proxy IP. Save changes and close the windows. I looked for a hotspot app to no avail; glad to know it is built in! Just have to know where to look.
BTW, the wifi 2. But the 5GHz band is empty. I wanted to point that out: on the details you can pick the channel, and there is a split dividing channels from the two bands. The 5GHz band is often not used, or in any case use a wifi scanner to find the best place to set up your own. Please how do I go about this in other to set my mac Hotspot. And would anyone know how to fix it?
