The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge include a nifty feature called Wi-Fi sharing. I know you may be asking yourself, "Why do I need to share my wifi signal? Coulcn't I just log onto wifi with the other device?" In most cases the answer to this question would be yes. If you are in the same room with another device on wifi just connect to the wifi.
There are some instances where being able to re-broadcast your wifi connection would be useful. There are lots of places that offer free slow wifi internet, or paid faster wifi internet. To use the paid faster internet you would need to pay the fee per device. If you are able to rebroadcast the wifi from your first device you would only need to pay the fee once.
The feature is usable on pretty much every carrier other than Verizon. For some reason they have done what they normally do and have blocked a killer feature for no apparent reason.
