Android TV 8.0 (MiBox) Doesn't have an option for Hotspot

by YoRt3m

I tried to install a different launcher so I could use regular android apps for that cause, but none of the apps I tried didn't work. any ideas?

I get what you want... But I would recommend just buying a small cheap wifi accesspoint.. plug the long cable into it instead of to the mibox directly... Plug an Ethernet cord from the App to the mibox... You will have a wired connection to the mibox and wifi available via the accesspoint... The wifi will be much better than any hotspot the mibox could provide even if you managed to get it working..

Just my 2 cents... But good luck.. let us know what you figure out.

Something like this for 25$ would do the trick: https://www.thesource.ca/en-ca/computers--and--tablets/networking/routers/tp-link-tl-wr841n-300mbps-wireless-n-router/p/108026449?bid=sPexa3Rar8sw&ds_rl=1228888&gclid=Cj0KCQiAxZPgBRCmARIsAOrTHSbwDwVHZIuegiiTtquvarIL7URLDb3jGcbn-KkrvKgzarS41L7eu-4aAvqfEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

I think... But you might find something better.. or better value..

Hotspot is only useful if you have a sim card and want to share the internet from SIM card (on your phone) to a wifi network. Since MiBox has no slot for a SIM, it makes no sense for Mibox to have a hotspot option.

But, if you want to connect to a hotspot from your mobile phone, you can connect it through wifi settings on the Mibox just as you would any regular wifi network.

Consider a TP-Link or NetGear router.
