Although this type of technology has improved over the years, being more powerful and steady, sometimes the reach of it is not enough
Therefore, it may not cover all areas of the house, also causing sudden and very annoying disconnections.
But, as mentioned, a very good solution is to use a mobile device to extend the Wi-Fi signal that is emitted.
What do I need to know to use and convert my Huawei Android mobile as a Wifi repeater?
Converting a mobile phone into a Wi-Fi repeater is possible provided the equipment is suitable for the task, so it's understandable that not everyone can do it. That said, many models have the ability to share the wireless signal " Naturally “, That is, as an integrated functionality.
An example is the Samsung Galaxy S9, which can share the signal of a router from the function " Shared signal ".
This can be found from the mobile phone settings, in the section " Shared connection ”Which contains these features. In this way, the equipment is able to connect to the WiFi network it perceives and repeat it in other places with more power from its point of view.
This, of course, being something native to the cell phone, it is not necessary to apply a Root, simply by accessing the aforementioned section.
However, in the case of some popular mobile phones like Huawei, they don't have these features, so you need to use another means to get it, for example with third party applications.
Convert a mobile phone into a repeater with NetShare - No-root-tethering
Continuing with the previous idea, using Huawei mobile phones as a reference point, it is possible to turn them into wireless signal receivers.
This can be achieved with applications that simulate this native function of other computers and one of them is called NetShare. As the name suggests, it performs the function of " Share signal ”Or, rather, it expands it without losing power.
It is one of the most effective apps for turning a mobile phone into a repeater and is found in the “Google Play” store. Therefore, it can be identified by looking for it by name. But you have to make sure that's what it says " non-root-tethering “, As there are others with the same titles.
Another way to recognize it is thanks to the fact that it is represented by a mobile phone with the image of a router in the center and blue signals coming out on the sides.
In this sense it has a 10-minute free connection mode to test it, and to take full advantage of it, you need to purchase a plan or purchase it.
Configure the app to convert a Huawei or any other device into a repeater
Once the application is downloaded, it is run from the mobile phone's program menu. Which will initially have a box.
This will be called " Share Internet connection ”And that we must mark to continue, so that the connection details can be viewed.
Therefore, the same credentials that the Wi-Fi transmission equipment has should be used in this section, since the mobile phone will only be used for repeating.
Next, the computer proxy that will connect to the repeating signal is configured. For Windows, the process is different.
To do this you have to go up " Control Panel> Network> Internet ", Then go on" Internet options "And finally" Connections ".
Likewise, it is selected in the option called " LAN configuration ”And from there the IP: 192.168.49.1 and the following port: 8282 will be used. And in this way you will be able to use the advanced Wi-Fi network.
