Will using my Mobile as a Wi-Fi Hotspot near the controller affect signal?

[Wille]

Hi
Im considering using my mobile's Wi-Fi to provide connectivity to my shield tablet/Controller for a new Setup
I wanted to know if attaching the phone to the back of my Tablet, on the controller or very close by, is going to affect the Rx outgoing signal?
I
ve used the same smartphone to fly in the past. So incoming Cellular/Wi-Fi has never been an issue,
but I'm guessing broadcasting it would be a different issue.

Any Help appreciated

It can, you'll have to experiment to see if it does. Probably want to put the phone in a pocket or somewhere further away than right on the back of the tablet.

Are you just trying to load maps? If so you could just load the maps up and then put everything back into airplane mode.

Only need it for maps. For some reason GO seems to crash less on Shield with a connection.
Theres a startup question saying i have to acknowledge NFZ too, which wont connect without.

I should have clarififed that I was hoping to use the attached phone as a Powerbank.
I need usb power, my phone can act as a powerbank.

Trying to limit cords in a Moverio setup. But anyway i think your both right.

Thanks
