Offload Your Mobile Internet Connection
Data offloading lets you transfer the mobile hotspot’s Internet connection from mobile
broadband to another WiFi or Ethernet connection. Data offloading reduces the amount
of data that you are using on the cellular connection. You might want to use this feature
if you are in an area in which many others are using cellular connections at the same
time or in areas with poor cellular reception.
During Ethernet offloading, you can use the micro USB port for AC charging and you
can use the USB type A port to jump boost a device or to connect a USB device. USB
3.1 is supported.
