I'm running a rooted GS5 and I'm using it to link to a wifi controller on a drone. However, because the drone doesn't provide internet, the wifi manager auto-connects to my wireless SSID and severs the connection with my drone. How can I "lock" onto the drone's SSID? In the older GSX there was an advanced setting in wifi settings to not allow auto switching of wireless networks. Where is that functionality in the GS5?

Hi
I have a WiFi network at home (802.11g), the network does not broadcast a network name and also has 64bit WEP security active.
When I turn on Wirless Lan On I cannot find my network.
When im out and about and turn Wireless Lan On, I can connect to any network thats available.
Has anyone got any ideas how i can setp up my PDA to work with my Wireless Network at home?
Many thanks
Matt
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.
Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm extremely new to all this.
I am trying to set up my MyTouch to be a wifi hotspot for my rooted Nook Color. From what I've been reading and experiencing in my efforts to get it to work, is that the NC doesn't recognize ad hoc wireless connections.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks for the help!

Sounds like you need to look for an android-wifi-tether application.
This program enables tethering (via wifi and bluetooth) for "rooted" handsets running android (such as the Android DevPhone 1). Clients (your laptop for example) can connect via wifi (ad-hoc mode) or bluetooth and get access to the internet using the 3G, 2G mobile connection or (in case you are using bluetooth) the wifi connection which is established by the handset.

Not what he's looking for. He's looking for an app that will broadcast an actual network, not just an ad-hoc connection, which that app does.
Hi Friends,
My device is GT-I9500 stock (non rooted) and I updated to stock Android 5.0.1 . I have both Data and WiFi enabled and Wifi connects to Comcast Xfinity Wifi router. Also the Smart Network Switch is enabled. The device get connected only few times but most of time that connects to Data.
If I switch off data then the WiFi does not work most of the time.
I can access the same Wifi from my laptop and no issues. Any help or anything that I am missing here?
Thanks.
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.
