I read the article on Bzeek WiFi sharing and I don’t understand something. How can I be a hotspot unless there’s already WiFi available for me to use? If it’s available for me, isn’t it already available for someone else to use? Why would they need a hotspot?
Hello, simply this uses your wired ethernet for a wireless hotspot.
Some wifi hotspots check your MAC address and so you can use it on 1 device only. With bzeek you can use one id on more devices. Say , your laptop and your Ipad wiht one id. I use it on campsites.
In a sentence: it shares your regular WIRED net connection over WIFI. It converts one to the other. If you already have wifi, there is no need for this app.
You can get Wi-Fi connection from your LAN wire only if it's connected to a Wi-Fi router.The router then sends Wi-Fi signals which is detected by other Wi-Fi enabled devices(if they are in search of Wi-Fi signal).
You become a hotspot when you have Wi-Fi connection to be shared to others.
It's not available to others till you don't allow your Wi-Fi signals to be used for others.
Others mainly to whom you would like to share your Wi-Fi, need hotspot so that they could also use your Wi-Fi,without getting additional connection.Wi-Fi hotspt is also useful for downloading larger files for your smartphone,tablets and other devices which requires Wi-Fi to use large amount of data.
