First off, FoxFi limits the connection speed it provides, preventing it from effectively providing enough bandwidth for downloads or online games. It also allows one device access to bluetooth connections and a direct hotspot. This physical tether feature is more effective in terms of data usage, but if you want a truly wireless internet connection, FoxFi’s sister app by the same developers, PDA Net+, does exactly that. In order to use FoxFi’s direct connection function, FoxFi’s external software must be installed onto the computer you are attempting to tether your phone to.

This creates an ethernet connection for your device using your phone’s data. Although it has recently lost its ability to turn your phone into a WiFi hotspot, it still has a lot to offer, including the ability to directly tether your phone to your computer.

FoxFi is an often overlooked app that is available through the Google Play Store.
