Internet Connection Sharing (Ics)
Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is the use of the 3G cellular service, broadband network or other
Internet gateway as an access point for other devices.
If you want to connect to the internet through Soft_AP, select the network connection and press
the “Apply” button.
Your internet connection is then internally shared with the Soft_AP, other devices can be connected
to the (AP) access point and then get access to the internet.
Notice
Wi-Fi offers greater speed and range than Bluetooth
®
, but it drains your portable adapter batteries
faster than Bluetooth
®
does. To preserve battery life (i.e. while travelling), turn off your Wi-Fi
connection.
Security
Because wireless networks rely on radio signals to transmit data, they are not as secure as wire
networks are susceptible to viruses and breaches like eavesdropping and need to be protected in
order to be secure.
There are many security measures to safeguard wireless networks, protect the data, and keep
unauthorized users out.
Hotspots, on the other hand, are often free of standard security practices in an effort to make it
easy for anyone to connect. It may be found that some paid hotspots administered by service
providers offer have some level of security, however, when using a hotspot, it’s always a good idea
to be proactive and to employ security measures of your own.
Glossary
Wi-Fi: Short for “wireless fidelity”, a generic label that refers to wireless networks or networking.
Hotspot: A specific geographic location in which an access point provides public wireless
broadband network services to mobile visitors through a WLAN.
Throughput: The amount of data transmitted in a set amount of time.
Bandwidth: the amount of data that can be carried from one point to another in a given time
period (usually a second).
