Wifi hotspot android also known as wifi tethering usually available for 5 device connect together. Will it possible to have more than 5 device connect together? It will be great if it possible. In places where there aren’t any wireless hotspots, tethering is incredibly useful.
In Android Operating system, if you already use Froyo (Android 2.2) Tethering functionality already embeded in your phone you can select it in setting–>Wireless and Network Setting –> Tethering and portable hotspot. Just check Mobile AP option than your Android ready to receive connection from other device such as computer or other smartphone to get Internet Acccess. This menu posible for Android Wi-Fi Hotspot without Root. It is advisable that you have an unlimited data plan before attempting tethering as it tends to use a lot of bandwidth.

Wifi Hotspot Android Application
There are another Android Wi-Fi Hotspot App to enable Wifi Tethering such as Barnacle Wi-Fi Tether and Android Wi-Fi Tether. You can download this application in Android Market. Most of the application to enable wifi tethering required you to root your phone first. Because it required root priviledge to enable wifi tethering. But don’t worry, rooting is not hard, but it depend your manufacture phone. You can try rooting mechanism in the Net. These application posible to make Android Wi-Fi Hotspot. So it is very easy to enable Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot Android.
Both apps are very similar, however I marginally prefer Barnacle Wi-Fi Tether as Android Wi-Fi Tether does not appear to be in the AppBrain marketplace, making it harder to update automatically. Finally, while these apps are great at what they do, once all Android phones are updated to version 2.2, Google’s built-in USB tethering and portable Wi-Fi hotspot features will make rooting and using these apps unnecessary. So, these apps remain useful to those phone still stuck on Android 2.1 or below.
For me i prefer to use Android Froyo or up wifi tethering application bundling, because it easy and must be compatible with your device. But if your phone manufacture not yet support Froyo so you must rooting and install Wifi Tethering in your phone. We hope this article about wifi hotspot android will help you to maximize your Android Phone Functionality with Wifi hotspot android.
