I sometimes use an AP with personal credentials (not owned by me) but want others to have access to wlan as well. So i tried to use wlan tethering. But normally Jolla uses mobile connection (2G/3G) and not wlan.

So how can I share a wlan connection easily? I dont want to share a telco mobile connection via wlan mainly because the telco traffic is limited!

I found a workaround "[How-to] Use your Jolla Phone for WiFi tethering/WiFi booster" here... https://together.jolla.com/question/104671/how-to-use-your-jolla-phone-for-wifi-tetheringwifi-booster/

But it seems there is no option to CHOOSE WHICH connection should be shared when activate tethering? I would like to see this options as an Jolla feature.

Also I want to point to this interesting and related feature-request: https://together.jolla.com/question/36835/multipeer-connectivity/ May be someone likes to vote up!?

That would be a very useful feature.

You are linking the question that is a duplicate to yours yourself... if the answer there is not working any more, please, comment there and have it reopened instead of asking the question again. (The other question is exactly about fwding your current wlan connection as tethering option.)

@chemist: My question is not a duplicate CUZ I dont want to turn off telco connection each time I try to share a wifi con! So yes, you CAN use this WORK AROUND but that's not an EASY way and its not an OPTION (in the sense of a button in the UI)!

And PLEASE dont decide wether it is a duplicate or not for others - at least not for me! Thanks.

As you do not like to be closed, how about you alter your starting post to properly reflect what you want instead of having the actual feature request as a bottom line idea at the end?! BTW the workaround answer is actually what you are asking for, you are just not happy with where the toggles are...

@chemist: actually there is no toggle yet. And furthermore it requires a cut off from telco connection... the other question seems not to care about these limitations and just to be an one time solution.
