Ask HN: Does Android not allow LAN-only WiFi?
4 by themodelplumber | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I was trying to troubleshoot the Asus router issue yesterday, and at one point had to use my phone because my laptop wasn't available. Surprisingly, even if I disabled mobile data on my phone, the system automatically disabled the WiFi access point when it detected that it didn't have internet access. As as result, I couldn't even go to any a LAN IPs or services, and couldn't access my router interface. Is this a thing now, are there any workarounds?
