Tethering and Mobile HotSpot
The Tethering option allows you to share your device’s
mobile data connection via a direct USB connection between
your device and computer.
The Mobile HostSpot feature allows you to turn your device
into a Wi-Fi hotspot. The feature works best when used in
conjunction with HSPA+ (4G) data services (although 3G
service can also be used).
For more information, see “USB Tethering” on page 157 or
see “Mobile Wi-Fi HotSpot” on page 158.
