Here is my issue. I can only get around 5-10mpbs with normal data (T-Mobile). I get unbelievable speeds on my phone using DroidVPN. Speed test by Ookla, tests range from 30-60mbps download and 5-10mbps upload. Every time I connect a device to my phone I am seeing the normal data speeds and not the VPN speeds. Example: My speed on the other device only gets around 0.2-1mbps.
What I would like to do is share the VPN speed with other devices (computer, phone, game consoles, routers, etc.) using the WiFi hotspot on my phone. Best possible scenario is to share that speed with my cradlepoint router to output its own signal so the rest of the household can connect and benefit.
I have tried every possible method I could find. Terminal commands, apps such as DF Tethering Fix and TetherNet, APN Settings, apps such as PDANet+ and WiFi Tether Router, build.prop edits.
I am using a rooted Nexus 6p Marshmallow 6.0.1.
If anyone has a solution or at least an answer to why I cannot share my phones speed using a VPN via WiFi hotspot please reply. Thank you.

All: I just got my WiFi Xoom, and I have it tethered to my (rooted) HTC Thunderbolt using WiFi Tether.
It connects fine, but seems slow when using Speedtest.net - I only get about 2Mbps Down, and less than 1Mbps up. When I tether other devices to the Thunderbolt (4G LTE) I seem to get much better performance which seems more in line with the performance it is capable of.
So, I was curious to know if there was some sort of a limitation or issue with the WiFi speeds when tethering on the Xoom? I can't say I see speed issues with the Xoom when connected to an access point at home on a cable modem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I dont know but the fist time I did a speed test with my TB and my laptop was very fast over 20BM, I did reset my phone and rooted one more time,now Im having the same problem :-( if someone know please help how to fix it!
Samthing here, when using the "internet connection" mode I get 20mbps but when using PDA net or Easy Tether on my TB it's like 1.5mpbs! Anyone got any ideas?
just did 2 quick tests with wifi tether and got about 6 down.
Tethering looks to be working on the droid side, but no connection is found on any computer, sometimes with limited connectivity icon.
Anyway i can increase the tethering data output...different channel? certain kernal or rom suggestions would be helpful
If you're connecting to your computer you can use easytether
Experimentation is the best way. If you have the wifi analyser app, scan for a channel that's not being used around you. Ive noticed that on gingerbread (when I can get it to tether) it doesn't run quite as fast, so if you have a gingerbread ROM look at that. It is three g, so signal strength is important, and if you use a lot of data (like above 1.5 gb) verizon starts killing your connection speed. Just play around with it, and don't really expect anything above 1 mbps, unless you have exceptionally good signal in a unpopulated area.
Sent from my Xoom the way it should be, rooted and with SD card.
Im am on the rooted .588 GB and have the TBH patch installed and use the Hotspot app to tether. At first I could not get it to connect half the time and the other half when it did connect seemed to suffer DNS related issues or drop connection.
I ended up adding my MAC address in the native app for authorized connections and have had ZERO issues ever since.
Is there a way I can USB tether my tablet to my phone? I believe 3.1 has USB host support, so if I got the USB adapter for my tablet would it be able to use it for internet? I don't want to buy the adapter before knowing if it's going to work.
The reason I'm asking is that I've always used USB tethering on my Evo 4G when tethering to my laptop, and I get great speeds. However, I tried wifi tethering for the first time today with my Galaxy Tab and found that download speeds won't go above 250 kilobits/sec, while upload speeds are 1.2Mbit/sec. From my phone the speedtest still shows 6-7Mbit/sec download speeds, which is the same that I get over USB tethering. Wifi tethered download speeds are also this slow when using my laptop. I tried disabling encryption and disabling CPU scaling (ie set min and max freq at 1Ghz) in case the phone was CPU bound, but it had no effect. The actual load on the phone was minimal during a wifi tethered speed test (3% usage). So there must be something wrong with wifi tethering on my phone.

<<would also like to connect tab to evo using tether ( my tablet sees it and displays "connected" but nothing loads in a browser.

Hmm, I wonder if logcat and/or dmesg have any useful info. It could be an issue of the usb networking driver not being present, or it could be something simple like the tablet not using dhcp to ask for an IP or DNS server.
Hello everyone!
So where I am living I cannot get reliable internet service and currently have Hughesnet (satellite isp) that I want to stray from. I have picked up a prepaid true unlimited data plan from Metropcs and want to use it as my default isp as the speeds are astronomical compared to Hughesnet. They are of course limited in usage for tethering and I would have to use a masking application and have chosen Clockworkmod Tether. What I want to do is run a USB dongle to my router (ASUS RT-N56U), connected to my phone (SAMSUNG-SM-G900A), running Android 5.0 with Clockworkmod Tether. Is this possible to do as the router doesn't have a sister application with the phone i.e Pdanet+ needs a windows application running to work?
All feedback is welcome!
So I found a video that kind of explains how to do so but I still have questions. With the process he is demonstrating the phone is using the wifi hotspot option to broadcast signal to the router. My question is.. with all the tether masking apps (PDAnet, FoxFi, Clockwork) you need to connect via USB to work. How would I get around this?

I have a Tmobile branded Asus AC1900 router. Samsung Galaxy S8 phone with latest software updates The router is configured in Wireless access point mode. The router is from Verizon fios. I run speedtest and get 60-70 Mbps. Also, file download from the internet is fast. However, if I try to copy files from my PC/NAS using the WiFi network, to the phone I am only getting 1 Mbyte/sec at most.
The Wifi is using B/G/N mode with auto configured channel. I also tried using my original Verizon router's wifi set to G mode only and also had the same issue with slow speed.
How can I fix it?
I am able to copy files at full speed to other devices (tried Win10 tablet).
Thanks!
