Is it possible to Connect to phones Wi-Fi? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not trying to tether my 3g/4g connection. I want to connect to Wi-Fi with my phone and then have another device connect to my phone's Wi-Fi connection.
The reason I'm trying to do this is because upstairs I have a good connection with my phone to Wi-Fi, but my Google tv can barely connect to my router.
It's this possible? Thanks for any help!

I think your talking about wifi tether and it is possible, go to wireless and network settings and select tethering and portable hospot

So you basically want to use your phone as a WiFi range extender? No, that's not possible because the phone cannot connect and broadcast a WiFi network simultaneously. Buy an apple airport express. I've used it for that exact purpose, and it worked really well.

[Q] Puzzling Wi-Fi issue..

Here at work I don't have the best (strongest) 3G signal which tends to kill my battery throughout the day.
A long time ago to help with this, I took a spare laptop and used it to setup an Ad-Hoc wireless network. If you don't follow, what that means is the laptop has a wired ethernet internet connection, and then using the wireless card in the laptop it functions as a wireless router that other devices can connect to via wi-fi for internet access.
Before the Epic I had a Touch Pro running Windows Mobile and it worked great. With the Epic, I haven't been able to get it to work yet.
If I turn on wi-fi, Android's built in menu that shows you the available wireless networks doesn't find the Ad-Hoc network I have setup.
Using an app from the Market called "WifiScanner" I can see the network, but when I click (touch) on it to connect it takes me back to the Android wireless management which for some reason can't connect/see the network.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
**Edit**
After doing some Googling, it seems that Android doesn't natively support Ad-Hoc wireless networks. How stupid. I may explore editing some of the files a few sites list to enable it.
**Edit**
This is not ideal but can't you put a wifi router before the pc? I hope your work allows it.

Android O.S does not support connecting to Adhoc wireless networks.

Connect to WiFi Network but keep on using Mobile Data Network

I tried to search but couldn't find definitive answer. My issue is opposite to general trend to switch off mobile and use wifi only.
I have apple TV without any internet connection (i.e. no modem connected to it) which I use to steam video/audio and it acts as an AP. I use Twonky on G-Tab (P1000) and it requires wifi for it to work. OK, fine. It does work on wifi and steams to Apple TV no issues, but as long as I am connected to wifi network, I can't use internet on my Tab (as I quoted above, my this Apple TV AP wireless network is without any internet connection, so I can't have net over it unless I buy a wired ADSL modem along with data plan and then connect it ti Apple TV). I have a reasonable mobile data plan on Tab's SIM and it works all time, except when I connect to any wireless network. Here's the catch, dumb Samsung thought that all and each wirless network always has internet connection or if there is a wireless network, it must have had internet connection! But anyway, this annoying behaviour prevents me from accessing net over mobile data plan as long as I am connected to any wifi network, be it has internet or not.
I tried and serached and also explored setting on my rooted tab, but no luck?
Any thing am I missing?
i have asked the same question here lla while back. its not possible to enable both wifi and mobile data at the same time

It's not so much dumb Samsung, as just the way Android works.
The following link details how this can be achieved, but only by modifying AOSP source and recompiling Android from scratch.

Can't you do it the other way around by enabling a mobile hotspot to your Tab, and connecting your Apple TV to this instead?

Yes, that would be the final option to use tab as MobileAP which would be a forced one, not a choice.

Wifi wont tether with bluetooth enabled

Hi Folks,
Probably unusual what I'm trying to do, but I use my galaxy nexus as a portable wifi hotspot when out of wifi range so i have a data connection on my nexus 7. The nexus 7 usually connects no problem to the phone but it wont connect if i have a the phone paired with the tablet using bluetooth. I use the bluetooh pairing to run tablet talk when not running both on the same wifi. Disabling bluetooth allows the tablet to connect to the phone via wifi. Im on stock jellybean on both devices. The 7 is rooted. The other option is to use a bluetooth tether for internet and not bother with the wifi but that doesnt seem to work all the time either. The tablet looses internet connection when tethered via bluetooth
Anyone else have same issues?

[Q] Can I Tether A Wi-Fi Connection

Hi guys. This might be a silly question, but here goes.
I am currently staying in a hotel with my family abroad. Each room gets only one username and password for their Wi-Fi network. Once used, no other device can use that username and password. The problem is that there are 3 devices in the room.
I was wondering if I could use that connection on my note 3 and wirelessly tether the connection to everyone else.
I have managed to do this through Bluetooth tethering to a note tablet, but the third device is my dad's iPad so I don't think that's gonna work. My best bet is Wi-Fi tethering to him.
Wireless tethering is disabled when I'm connected to the Wi-Fi network, so I guess my best bet is an app.
Is this possible, and how?
You can use wifi hot spot on your device if iirc, then run the other devices via the Note.

If you have a laptop, you could connect to the wifi through your phone, and then tether your phone to the laptop via USB. Then install a hotspot program on the laptop to enable other devices to connect to the laptop, as if it were a router.

How disable wifi

I have an Nvidia Shield, about 5 years old. Version 10.40.33
I was using wifi to connect. I recently started using Wired ethernet.
Whenever I start it, it uses WiFi. Switching to ethernet is cumbersome for some reason.
How can I disable wifi on this device?
Thanks
Why don't you make it "forget" your WiFi network.
