Step 2) Turn on your cell phone's hotspot, for me I use the built in mobile hotspot function on my galaxy s9+ Again, make sure you're running CMD as administrator.) (Copy and paste the first line, hit enter, and CMD will echo out 'OK.', then do the same with the 2nd line. Netsh int ipv6 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=64 Netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=64 If you're like me, and want to use your laptop as a Wi-Fi repeater, you'll use the following commands: Netsh int ipv6 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65 Netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65 If you're just using the data on your laptop/computer, use the following commands in the CMD window: If I just set the TTL to '65' on my Laptop and connect my shield to my laptop, the Shield will have a TTL of '66' and it'll be used as hotspot data which is throttled. So because it's going from my phone, to my laptop, to my shield, I cannot just set my laptop's TTL to '65' as there is one hop between the laptop and shield.

For me, I wanted my Shield TV to be the device using the data, via my laptop's WiFi. If you're going to be using the laptop/computer as your device to use the data on, you'll be setting it's TTL to '65'.

You're going to be entering a command to change your TTL. Step 1) On your windows computer/laptop, open a new command prompt as administrator. Mobile phones use a TTL of 65, and it's ond of the ways carriers know you're using cellular or hotspot. To no one's surprise, this involves cloaking your connection as if it was your phone's usage. They throttle hotspot data, not cellular data

I've never been throttled for going over my cellular data, only hotspot. With my Verizon 'unlimited' data plan, I have unlimited data (22gb and then deprioritized if congested, not throttled.). With this method, it simply bypasses hotspot data and cloaks the data as if it was normal phone data. After going thru my 15GB in a week while camping, Verizon throttled my hotspot to 600Kbps.which might as well be them turning off the function. So this method is pretty straight forward and doesn't require root.
