Android Question Android HotSpot IP address

[rayellam]

Hi All,
Is there a way through code to change the IP address of a phone that is working as a WiFi Hotspot? The only options im given to configure the hotspot are SSID and security. The IP address is in the range 192.168.43.xxx. I want to be able to change the subnet (.43.) so i can have multiple hotspots using multiple phones without any IP clashes.

Phone: Huawei Y210D
OS: 2.3.6

Hope this makes sense.

Happy holidays
Ray

The IP your are getting is coming from the router through DHCP. Normally in order to change it you could set a STATIC but what you are asking for would require a release /renew because an IP change midstream would disconnect from the router and reconnect services given by the router.

is that what you are asking for?

Seems like it is not possible.

Thank you Giga and Erel. I was hoping to use phone's as the router's but because i cannot configure the IP then i will just use those small portable routers for the job in hand.
