Root? Hotspot despite service provider

Mikedt I applaud you.

Foxfi won't work but only because it's old software for older times. It seems to have had a hay day of Android 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 etc vintage.

But the same company makes PDANet+. I may have some of that capitalization wrong. Regardless, it works as a wireless hotspot to my Win10 laptop. BTW my phone is still on Android 8.0.

It has the ability to connect via USB debugging or completely wireless. I have successfully installed it on my phone and laptop and have cruised the internet on my laptop wirelessly. I didn't try the corded USB debugging.

It does cost $10 for the phone app. But it's worth that to be wireless.

The only downside is I can't get the Roku into this loop. But that's okay because I can get almost all that it can do with the laptop.

Thanks again Mike.
