App as a router. (Not tethering with LTE)

[metsjetsfan]

Is there an app out there that allows you to use the phone as a router? Not tether via cellular data

Typical use case is in hotels they only allow 3 devices sometimes would be useful to use it this way.

Have an android device as well if it works there and there are iOS restrictions

Do you want to use your phone as an Access Point (AP)?
The easiest workaround I would do is to use the built in hotspot of my iPhone and then go into the settings of your cellular data profile and change a few settings, by putting garbage data(but ofcourse remember the original settings). I have done this a few times. This doesn't consume the cellular data and makes a portable hotspot too.

Sounds more like he wants to use it as a wireless bridge. Personally, I got a $20 TP-Link Nano Travel Router for this. Really light and tiny plus it's USB-powered.

MyWi does that but only if you jb.
Or like said above just get a $20 extender and plug it in an outlet thus having your own wifi network by connecting it to a hotel wifi.

Thanks yes and do you know if they bypass the login pages in hotels?

Personally, I connect it via ethernet. I find it more reliable and less congested than wireless bridging. If the hotel has like one of those Terms of Service pages, each wifi device still gets that page.
