However the new feature is not meant to support game devices, TVs or TV streaming devices. WiFi Direct Hotspot could solve both issues. Even when it works, your hotspot usage may still be metered (see plan 2 below). It has ceased to function on many newer phone models due to carrier updates. The original WiFi Hotspot feature remains in the separate FoxFi app if you still need it. It will verify if your adapter supports 5Ghz.
*If your Windows computer does not see the hotspot during pairing please do two things: 1. You can activate “WiFi Direct Hotspot” in PdaNet+ then tap the “Help!” button for detail instructions. It allows you to connect computers and tablets to your phone using WiFi BUT it will require you to either install our client app or setup proxy depending on what device you are connecting to the phone. PdaNet+ now comes with a completely new “WiFi Direct Hotspot” feature that works on all Android phones 4.1 or later.
