• Change the security setting: Tap Security to configure security setting. Your phone uses WPA2 PSK
encryption by default. Other devices will require a password to connect to the hotspot. If you choose
None, devices will not require a password to connect to the hotspot.
• Configure a password that is easy to remember: Tap Password and enter the new password (the
password must have at least 8 characters), then tap SAVE. Check Show password to view your
password. The hotspot password is generated randomly by your phone. For security reasons, choose a
password that is not easy to guess.
• Select AP Band: Your device only supports 2.4 GHz Band.
Note:
Your device can’t access the Internet using WLAN when your Portable WLAN hotspot is turned on.
Use USB tethering
Use a USB cable to share your phone’s mobile Internet with a computer. This is useful if your computer’s Internet
connection stops working. To enable mobile data, see Connect to mobile data.
1. Connect your phone to a computer using a USB cable.
2. On the Home screen, tap -> Settings -> More -> Tethering & portable hotspot.
3. Turn on the USB tethering switch. After enabling USB tethering, your phone will display the icon in
the status bar. You can then use the computer to access the Internet.
Note:
Depending on your computer’s operating system, you may need to install phone drivers on the computer or establish a
network connection in order to use USB tethering. Please read the instructions for your operating system.
Use Bluetooth tethering
Use Bluetooth tethering to turn your phone into a wireless router and share your mobile Internet with other
devices. Compared with a portable hotspot, Bluetooth tethering offers a slower Internet connection, but
consumes less power.
1. Establish a Bluetooth connection between two devices and check that they are paired. For more
information, see Enable Bluetooth and pair your phone with another device.
2. On the Home screen, tap -> Settings -> More -> Tethering & portable hotspot.
3. Turn on the Bluetooth tethering switch.
4. Go to Bluetooth settings and check Internet access to share your mobile data with the paired device.
