Update: Here is the event protocol (Windows event log) of a seemingly successful connection from the Android device to the W10MH. it must be something on the Windows side which keeps clients from connecting (or at least from getting internet access after a successful WiFi connection to the W10MH). Like I said above, the problem is not the smartphone, because even a smartphone reboot does not have any effect. What I need is a solution to permit my smartphone to reconnect to the W10MH without rebooting the whole machine. Normally, I only reboot the computer every few weeks, it is always on. I have lots of development tools and browser tabs open (16 GB RAM) and am usually in the middle of work when this happens. The only thing that works is to reboot the PC, which is simply too costly and overkill, if I have to do it almost every day. I tried the following things in order to isolate the problem, all to no avail:ĭeactivate and reactivate WiFi on the smartphoneįorget the connection details on the smartphone and reconnect anew to the W10MHĭeactivate and reactivate W10MH on the PCĭeactivate and reactivate the WiFi adapter on the PCĭeactivate and reactivate the MS WiFi Direct Virtual Adapter But sometimes, after the PC loses its connection and needs to re-authenticate in order to enter the WiFi again, the Android client can easily connect and get an IP via DHCP, but always says that it cannot connect to the internet despite the connection to the hotspot.

UPDATE 11/21/15: Verizon seems to have killed FoxFi for the time being. They now include it because your shared data plan has a limit that they would love for you to eclipse, so that they can charge you an arm and a leg in overages for.

The need for tethering apps has diminished over the years, mostly because carriers now include hotspot for free with their shared/tiered data plans. It was a complete, double-dipping scam by carriers. Carriers used to like to charge you a single price for your data package, but then limit you on the uses for that data package. Before shared data, you used to have to buy a data plan to use with your phone, but then buy a separate plan if you wanted to use that data connection to give data to other devices. By setting your phone up as a hotspot, you can give things like a computer or tablet internet access from anywhere in the world.

To get around Verizon’s attempts to block free tethering, trickery is almost certainly involved on some level, so understand what you are getting yourself into.įor those new to WiFi tethering, just understand that apps like FoxFi are a way for you to fully use the data connection you already pay your carrier handsomely for. Keep in mind that in order to use the WiFi hotspot feature, you have to trust in FoxFi, because it opens a VPN connection and installs a certificate. The developer didn’t specify if that includes the One (M8), but I would imagine that it does.

Today, a new update makes the same feature available to HTC phones on Verizon’s network, including the DROID DNA and HTC One.

Back at the end of April, popular WiFi tethering app, FoxFi, received an update that brought back WiFi hotspot abilities to non-rooted Samsung phones on Verizon.
