Hi, I've been using one of these big, ugly dual band wall plug wifi repeater/travel router for a while. It sometimes feels like it has a little too much on it's plate and needs to be rebooted/reconfigured all the time.
I recently got a Nexus 6p, and still have a perfectly working Nexus 5. I feel bad about it not being used, since it's such a great device. Then I realized....maybe I can use it as a wifi repeater! There wasn't anything in the default settings menu to create a hotspot AND remain connected to another hotspot on the Nexus 5. I did try it in tethering mode, and WOW the N5 performed much better than the crappy wall plug repeater. The only problem is getting it to create the wifi network....I've tried the fqrouter2 ap but it ends up giving errors, probably because it doesn't support the newer OS version.
Is there a way, with ap or script that I can make the phone connect to a 5ghz network and say, create a 2.4ghz hotspot?
What about tethering to ethernet? I was able to tether the wifi to usb with amazing results....maybe use an adaptor to get it to pass internet to an external router?
Any thoughts?:silly:
