Sharing your phone's data connection
USB tethering and portable Wi-Fi hotspot are great features when there are no wireless connections available.
You can share your phone's mobile data connection with a single computer via a USB cable (USB tethering). You
can also share your phone's data connection with more than one device at a time by turning your phone into a
portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
When your phone is sharing its data connection, an icon appears in the status bar and as an ongoing notification
in the notifications drawer.
For the latest information about tethering and portable hotspots, including supported operating systems and
other details, visit http://www.android.com/tether.
To change Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings:
1
Touch
>
Apps tab > Settings > More... from the WIRELESS & NETWORKS tab > Portable Wi-Fi
hotspot > choose options that you want to adjust.
TIP! If your computer is running Windows 7 or a recent distribution of some flavours of Linux
(such as Ubuntu), you will not usually need to prepare your computer for tethering.
But, if you are running an earlier version of Windows or another operating system, you may need to
prepare your computer to establish a network connection via USB. For the most current information
