Can wifi and 3G run at same time? I need them together, wifi to print via wireless printer and 3G to use net.
Technically, not a problem to have both active. Problem might be that the app you want to use for wifi could map itself to the internet/3g connection group. Or the program you download with ends up switching to wifi, if that's what the phone prefers when it has two specific connections.
Usually is dependent on the program implementations now, though. But if it seems to work and then somehow fails, the app's connection preferences probably is the problem.

Thanks for the reply but I didn't get you mostly.
I am using HP ePrint app. I want wifi to connect to printer and 3G to recode data to print. Turning on wifi automatically connects to wifi. 3G turns off. Any how to force them stay together?
Tried this last night and it worked well. Would use lots of data though.

It is really not "without wifi" - it is using the phone's hotspot as a wifi access point. So, instead of connecting to the home network, it connects to the hotspot wifi network. (or am I overlooking something?)

Yep,it still uses wifi. Chromecast requires wifi
I've used WIFI Tether Router for several phones with great success.
I know all about the adding of ,dun to apns
But if you already have root Wifi Tether Router does not need any mods. It might also works on CDMA (roaming), where the ,dun trick does not.
It also might be less traceable by sprint.

I'm rooted and this app didn't work for me. Is there anything special I have to do? My mobile is set to Global. Does it need to be CDMA/LTE?

I think these are the only changes needed from default. I so happen to use no encryption (i.e. Open) and channel = 1 which I think is default.
Interface wlan0
method 2
firmware reload unchecked
I think everything else is default.
If you scroll to bottom of Configuration there is a Link to "devices configurations/website"
I had the Native tether working too and I removed the ",dun" mod from my APN's to test this.
Mine shows Build 165
Does SuperUser pop up to grant permission?
It might not work on roaming (CDMA), same limitation as the Native mod (i.e. adding ,dun).
Who-Hoo Wifi Tether Router works on roaming (i.e. works on non Sprint CDMA Networks). The adding of ,dun to APN's method only works on Sprint Networks (i.e. LTE and eHPRD). WIFI Tether Router works on everything. But you do need root.
Tested on rooted ZV6.
can someone please explain how to add ,dun to apn? ive looked online and see lines of provisional code being added. this was on a tmobile nexus 6 and i wasnt sure if thats the way for all phone. thanks in advance!
There is a video specific to the Sprint phone, where the guy walks through the steps one by one showing each step and result to add the dun info, though I don't recall if it was specifically the apn info that was modified?
Anyway, you need an app that can create shortcuts for hidden features of the phone, as explained on the guide. Install that app, that allows you to run the program built into the phone that lets you edit the thing to add the dun text and save it.
Sorry I don't recall the details, but it's another thread here about free wifi tether or hotspot.

Which hotspot method, Native (with ,dun added to APN's) or WIFI Tether Router?
I saw similar issue when trying to tether on Ev-Do it will connect for a moment and disconnect.
The APN method will not work on Ev-Do (usually that means roaming but not always).
Latest WIFI Tether Router will work on Ev-Do but requires root.

For starters don't use Auto. See OP.

so i checked my default and its what OP has aside from the ,dun thing.
I am having an issue with wifi tether router where it will connect for a while and then the wifi signal will stop on its own. I have to kill and restart wifi tether router to regain a connection. I am wondering if this is a heating problem as the phone gets fairly hot when using wifi tether router. Is there a way to reduce the wifi radio power on the G4?
Uncheck "Allow Wifi Scanning" in advanced wifi settings. Should stop the signal from going away.

Good catch !! WIFI Tether Router does warn you to shut that off if I recall.

Yes
So just had something weird happen want to see if anyone else ran into this. I just reset for the month yesterday and My Metro app is showing 1.3 gigs used (all tethered with app). While playing Xbox I get a message saying I have used all of my hotspot data. I checked data usage on Xbox I haven't even used a gig yet. Also they didn't throttle my data. Anyone know what's going on?
It's there any way I can specify priority of one SSID over another in MM? Is there an app or some other method?
I have Xfinity Internet service, so I am able to access any Xfinity WiFi network when I'm out. My home router therefore has both my home SSID and the Xfinity open one. If I'm out, and therefore sometimes connected to Xfinity, I come home and it automatically connects to Xfinity instead of my network and then I can't access my network.
I know I can just tell it to forget the Xfinity SSID, but if there was some way to tell it to always choose my home network over that one, that would be better.
Thank you!
BTW, currently running TEKXodus Hybrid N5 URv8E if it should matter.
I have a Note 8 running on VZW and my device won't connect to my XFINITY wifi network at home. I tried changing the password encryption to one of the solutions below and I even changed it to open, and it did not work. I also tried changing the IP settings from DHCP to static and that didn't work either. I connect to other wifi hotspots and wifi but not my home. Also, however, I have other devices connected to the wifi just fine. I cannot seem to find a solution to this issue.

Maybe try setting your wifi to a different channel on your router?

is it your home network or xfinity hotspot network
I am a actual xfinity mobile and home internet user
For the life of me I can connect to my home networks but not my home xfinity hotspot also broadcasted from my router. It shows up,I can click it,But never connects....
I also have issues with other xfin hotspots.
Not all but some
It is my home network that my note 8 won't connect to, but it connects to other networks, I believe something is blocking it.

Now I know they got that xfi crap have you gone on your router and xfi app and allowed
Yup I went through all that and the admin tool and nothing. I turned the firewall temporarily too to see if the problem persists and it does.

I would bet it's something stupid on xfinitys side. Last I can think of is a full reset of the router....back to stock. Is it the xb3
