Hi all

I have a tablet that is BYOD at my work so I have access to the corporate Wifi. I also have a phone that isn't connected. I'd like to connect the phone to the tablet to get it to use the wifi from the tablet. I know I can go the other way and have the tablet connect to the phone's data connection but is there a way to go the other way

Let me know! Thanks

USE ANDROID PHONE AS WIFI REPEATER!!!!!! :) - YouTube
Do you have a laptop at work with WiFi? If so, there's a tool called Connectify that works very well for this (the free version disconnects you after a few hours and you have to restart it, but it works; the pro version keeps you connected at all times). Or you could do it manually using a command line (Windows 7 and 8 at least I know it works)
