R rayellam Member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 29, 2013 #1 Hi All, Is there a way through code to change the IP address of a phone that is working as a WiFi Hotspot? The only options im given to configure the hotspot are SSID and security. The IP address is in the range 192.168.43.xxx. I want to be able to change the subnet (.43.) so i can have multiple hotspots using multiple phones without any IP clashes. Phone: Huawei Y210D OS: 2.3.6 Hope this makes sense. Happy holidays Ray

giga Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 29, 2013 #2 The IP your are getting is coming from the router through DHCP. Normally in order to change it you could set a STATIC but what you are asking for would require a release /renew because an IP change midstream would disconnect from the router and reconnect services given by the router. is that what you are asking for?

R rayellam Member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 30, 2013 #4 Thank you Giga and Erel. I was hoping to use phone's as the router's but because i cannot configure the IP then i will just use those small portable routers for the job in hand. Regards Ray Upvote 0
