[Q] Wifi extender 2.4GHz to 5GHz - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I would like to try something out.
I have a 2.4GHz modem/router and a 5GHz usb wireless card.
Is it possible to use my phone to connect to the network at 2.4GHz and resend/extend it at 5GHz so I can connect my pc with the 5GHz usb?
My phone is capable of 2.4GHz and 5GHz (it is the GT-I9505 and it is rooted, check setup of my phone in signature)

[Q] Is there a way to change network adapter speed and duplex on android?

Hello, i have one old aliuminium ethernet cable, when i connect laptop and router using this cable I have to change network adapter speed to 10mbps full duplex. When it's on auto (or any other setting) i get "cable unpluged" message. But I want to connect router with android tv box (geniatech m1 atv1000), but magic doen't happen. Actualy it's not quite a router it's a cheap chineese wifi repeater , and it doesn't have allmost any settings, so i'm wondering is there a way to change androids network adapter speed and duplex?
I cannot change the cable, because it's betonated inside of the wall..

[Q] Force 802.11g instead of 802.11n

Hi all,
I need to thether my 3G connection with my satellite linux-based receiver but I have some problems with the built-in wifi module (n standard).
Probably the drivers are not well developed but I experience some random lags (for example I ping it 2ms then 650ms the 45ms etc...) also with my linksys router.
I had to switch to 802.11g only in the router's option to have the receiver working properly.
But now I have the same problem with my S3: the receiver connects @ 150Mbps (so 802.11n) during the tether with the same random lags...
Can I select a lower max speed (a different standard, 802.11g in this case) in the Galaxy S3 (also with external tethering software, the phone is rooted)?
Can I set it for the whole wifi section (I think that also the tethering will go at that speed)?
Thank you very much for the support!
Same problem here
I have this very same problem with my SGS3. My older laptop can't use SGS3 tethering because it lacks 802.11.n. I would really love to know of a way to force 802.11.g tethering on my S3. I'm not capable to root my phone, so it has to be some setting or app.
Is there anyone that knows how to do this?

[Q] Home WiFi network with cellular connection to the Internet?

I do not have a permanent Internet connection at my home. I live by myself, so there's no point in having a connection when I'm not there. I have a laptop, a desktop, a Blu-Ray player, an Xbox 360, a WiFi printer and an older WiFi receiver that connects to a printer with an Ethernet connection.
I have the T-Mobile unlimited Monthly4G plan, and what I would like to do is create a permanent WiFi network at home that will automatically connect to my phone for an Internet connection when I turn on the tethering. This way all the devices can communicate with one another and the IPs will remain the same even when the phone is not in range.
Has anyone ever tried this? Can I do it with a wireless repeater?

[Q] Is 40MHz bandwidth supported with 2.4GHz Wifi n on GT-i9300

Hi all,
I've found this old thread about 150Mbps on GS3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815929
So I confirm that I'm able to connect at 150mbps with my GT-i9300 (international version) by using a wifi n router at 5Ghz.
To be able to reach 150Mbps, I must enable 40MHz bandwidth. It is what is expected because the GS3 supports only one antenna stream (no MIMO support).
With this link, I can download files from my NAS at 5-6MB/s (Mega Bytes per second) that is satisfying me.
The only issue is that due to 5GHz, wifi connection is limited to a small area (it doesn't work well through walls).
Because there is no other wifi spot in channels 1 to 9 (only other spots far enough and both 20MHz in channel 11), I've enables the 40MHz in 2.4GHz carrier on my router. Using my (old) nettop, I've enabled 40MHz support on the only 2.4GHz carrier supported, and I cansee connection link at 150Mbps (my old nettop have one stream too). I've also checked on another fix PC that supports MIMO (2 antennas) and 2.4GHz only that I can reach 300Mbps with 40MHz bandwidth. So I confirm that both are supporting 40MHz bandwidth with 2.4GHz carrier.
So, now my question is:
- why I can not enable 40MHz support at 2.4GHz on my Galaxy S3 ?
Is there a hardware limitation on bandwidth configuration on the RF chip (not the baseband, but RF where antenna is connected) ?
Is it only a software limitation due to android support that doesn't enable "auto 20/40" bandwidth on 2.4GHz ?
is there a mysterious and unknown configuration setting somewhere to enable the 40MHz on 2.4GHz ?
I confirm that 40MHz is supported at least with 5GHz carrier (you must first enable "auto 20/40" on your router and well choose your channels).
Why it is not enable at 2.4GHz ?
Maybe is there another alternative ROM that supports that ?
Thanks a lot
I have the same question for SGS4.
Have you managed to find out anything?

Streaming with my 4G connection via AllConnect App.

My TV is hardwired via LAN to my router and my phone is connected to same router via WiFi. I am able to stream from my Phone to TV when my router has internet connectivity. But I want to use internet connectivity of my 4G LTE phone, so I connect with cellular data and am able to play on my phone but as soon as I want to stream via AllConnect App it does not see the WiFi. I switch ON/OFF the WiFi it connects to TV but can't play it. So basically when my router has internet connectivity my phone streams to TV but when my router doesn't has internet connectivity my phone doesn't stream to TV. I want to use my Phones 4G LTE data connection to stream from my phone to my TV via my router and use my routers WiFi to connect my phone to TV via DLNA. I don't want to use my routers internet for that I disconnect the DSL cable. So I have an active WiFi connection for my my phone to connect to TV but no internet connectivity.
TV = Sony Bravia KDL 40EX520
Phone = Haier LS-5014 and OnePlus One A0001
Android Ver = 6.x
Router = Asus DSL N10E
Streaming App = AllConnect Ver 8.2
I hook up my TV with LAN (Old Sony Bravia) to my router and my phone to same routers WiFi. So I am able to share and connect with TV. I am also able to cast Movie HD app on my TV using the AllCast app, No issues. I have a crappy wired internet connected to it. I also have unlimited 4G plan on my phone. I use AllConnect to cast from my Phone to TV. Now I am able to cast Movie HD app via AllConnect on my TV. But as soon as I disconnect the wired internet from my router. I am not able to cast. I want to use my Phones 4G internet to stream on my TV. Theoretically it should be possible to cast using my routers LAN which I am able to. But as soon as I disconnect DSL cable from my router the streaming stops. Can anyone help me here.
