Wifi Hotspot without sharing internet

[amit251291]

Dear all,

We are working on i.MX.6 platform running on android 7.1.2. We have a requirement as below. 

"WiFi hotspot of i.MX.6 platform should not share the internet to connected mobile. i.MX.6 platform should use the internet connection only for itself."

We can not disable internet connection to satisfy this requirement because we need to send MQTT data to cloud always, even when hotspot is enabled. 

Is this kind of implementation possible ? If yes, how ? Can somebody throw light on this ?

Thank you so much in advance.

Hello Amitt,

I understand this is not possible since it is how it is handle the Wifi Hot Spot from Android Services, you should ask in the Android Developer Community, if there is a way to modify this service or deamon since from our side, it is what it is expected to be.

I apologize for the inconvenience.
