Can the S20 be used as a Wifi Extender? Y friends LG G8X ThinQ can so I was curious if the Samsung S20 5G can do this as well?

In mobile hotspot configuration, select configure, then advanced, and then enable the WiFi sharing.

This works on my S22. Hopefully it's the same on you S20.

Actually possible without special app. (Extender device)Needs to connect wifi ssid then turn on mobile hotspot. Bridge wifi connection than data connection. On other device, open wifi setting then connect(extender device) and now you have it.
If you don't trust this. Open web browser and search what's my ip address or who's my carrier provider. Wonder why no one knew this 🤔 This is not really special. Any android 11 device comes with this feature. Samsung had this before Google.

edit: Samsung calls WIFI-Sharing
mobile hotspot=> configure.

Yes, still requires a sim card. Total disconnect sim card can't confirm that.
