Having good Wi-Fi coverage at home is essential to be able to work, play online or watch streaming content without any problems.If we are in a corner or room where the wireless signal is too weak, we can solve it by installing a mesh network system or a good Wi-Fi repeater.However, we may not have the pocket for many runs, and if it is also a one-time or sporadic need, we can get out of trouble by using our Android mobile as a Wi-Fi repeater.Using the mobile as a repeater we will get the signal to reach the areas furthest from the router.We simply have to make sure to place the mobile halfway between the router and the low coverage area to extend the signal and make it arrive more smoothly.Depending on the smartphone model we have, there are 4 different ways to extend the Wi-Fi signal.All Android mobiles have a function to share the internet with other devices.In some mobiles we will see this function under the name of “Wi-Fi modem”, “anchor point”, “hotspot”, “portable access point” or simply “share internet”.The trick in this case would be to connect to the Wi-Fi network and then create a hotspot with that same Wi-Fi.The problem is that many mobiles automatically disconnect from Wi-Fi when we activate the Internet sharing function.As we say, although some mobiles do not allow you to extend the Wi-Fi signal from the options menu, the truth is that some do include this function in a "hidden" way.Once this is done, repeat the steps that we have indicated in the first method.At this point, if our smartphone does not offer the possibility of sharing Wi-Fi, we will have to use a third-party app.At the moment we find 2 options in Google Play:For this example we will use the WiFi Extender app:Note: You can also connect using the QR code that appears on the screen.With this we would already have configured the Android device as a Wi-Fi repeater.However, if we connect "as is" we will see that this new Wi-Fi network appears "offline".This is so because we still have to make a couple of adjustments.Once these adjustments have been made, we should be able to browse the internet without problems.The last “trick” to use Android as a Wi-Fi repeater is to take advantage of the “Bluetooth modem” function.Basically it is a feature that Android has been offering for a long time, and that allows us to share the internet by establishing a Bluetooth connection.The procedure is very simple:Normally this is not a highly recommended method, since the distance of the Bluetooth signal greatly limits the range of the signal.Save my name, email and website in this browser for the next time I comment.I have read and accept the privacy policy *This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.Learn how your comment data is processed.
